Take Not The Name In Vain Ch 2 The Power Of Unlimited Imagination by Neville Goddard

All right. Neville Goddard, via Margaret Broom. The Power of a limited imagination. Chapter 2. Take not the name in vain. Your individual state of consciousness is your level of being and attracts all the events you encounter in life. Since your reactions determine what you are, any change in your outer world must be produced by your inner level of being. In the. In the seventh chapter of the Book of Mark, we are told. Excuse me. Hear and understand. There's nothing outside which can defile man. But what comes out of a man's mind is what defiles him. He who. He who has ears, let him hear. Now, thoughts are things. When you identify yourself with a thought, it out pictures itself as an act. If the thought is unlovely, it defiles you. Awaken and select only thoughts that contribute to the birth of your desire. You must constantly observe your dwelling place. For where you are psychologically is what you are. Your mood indicates your state and you are always externalizing the state upon which you stand. The Upanishads, one of a class of Vedic treatises dealing with broad philosophic problems, states, the soul imagining itself into a state takes upon itself the results of that state. Now, I'm sorry. Not imagining itself into the state, it is free from its results. Let's repeat the quote. The Upanishads, one of a class of Vedic treatises dealing with broad philosophic problems, states the soul imagining itself into a state takes upon itself the results of that state. Stands to reason. I'll draw that in a second. Not imagining itself into the state, it is free from its results. Your soul is what you consent to as you feel yourself into the situation of your answered prayer. You have entered a state and your soul has taken upon itself the results of that state. If you do not enter the state, you are free of its lovely results. Accept an idea as true, identify yourself with it and it will out picture itself in your world. Oh, boy. Is there any of that going on with politics? But if you do not accept a thought and identify yourself with it through feeling, you are free from its results. You must become very selective and learn not to associate yourself with unlovely thoughts. Sounds so simple. In the Book of Kings, we are told how those who entered the temple brought something alive with them, such as an ox or bullock. These were used as burnt offerings. These sacrifice offerings are your body of suffering. They are the animals you must offer grievances. They are the animals you must offer called grievances. No matter what the grievance may be, you have no right to carry it around with you. And you cannot ascend in consciousness until all of your grievances are tossed on the altar and sacrificed. Only as you give them up will you find the holy water. In the last chapter, I was talking about guilt and shame and memory and things that might you feel as blocks. This is exactly what he's talking. He her is talking about right here. I'm sure it's Neville. I'm going to refer to it as Neville. I'm very, very appreciative and very thankful that Margaret put this compilation together because I'm sure she sat in many of his lectures. And isn't it wonderful? The gal that passed on the lecture notes to Margaret and she was going to be going into a nursing home and thought that the value could be passed on. And I'm sure there's so much surfacing of Neville. It's like the demand just keeps growing and the surfacing of these lectures. And it's wonderful. It really is. Making a sacrifice of those negatives is what we want to do. We want to give them up. We want to stop that activity. These sacrifice offerings are your body of suffering. They are the animals you must offer called grievances. No matter what the grievances may be, you have no right to carry it around with you. And you cannot ascend in consciousness until all of your grievances are tossed into the on the altar and sacrificed. Only as you give them up will you find the holy water. Very, very, very, very important point. How many variables that I am all that is God right here. Self concept, future self concept, existing self concept, many more self concepts. Infinite amount of self concepts we dwell in and around and ascend to. You are here single, not married, not in love. You want to be in love. You want to be married, you want to have a family. That's here. You have. You're learning. You're watching these videos. You're learning the law of assumption. You understand it intellectually, but you don't have a way to transfer the feeling into that subjective state. At night, you're going into your state of stats. You're trying to find it, you're trying to grasp that feeling. You're trying to hold onto it. It disappears. And you don't realize that there is these other things. Do I deserve to be married? Do I deserve to be in love? My parents told me I was no good. There's a lot that could be unburied here. And I don't even want to give voice to. Makes me emotional. You're here. You want to be here. I can feel you so understand that they are blocks and they're simple blocks, but you have grasped ahold of them and they're emotional. You're holding on to these things emotionally. Hope it doesn't stop me. Because this is a very important point. No matter what the grievance may be, you have no right to carry it around with you. And you cannot ascend. You cannot ascend in consciousness until all of your grievances are tossed on the altar and sacrificed. Only as you give them up will you find the holy water. Whoever you are that I'm talking to right now, I know. I can feel it. So let's get beyond it. Let's move. Let's move psychologically. Let's make the impression. Let's create the union between your conscious and subconscious self. Let's do this one piece at a time. This is possible. When you do it one piece at a time, you keep building that impression. That impression will construct into the actual impression you're after. Every tiny piece matters. Every tiny thought about this matters. Whatever the block is, get through that with whatever work is necessary. And get this objectification. Get this kingdom of heaven. It's waiting for you. It's waiting for you as much as you are waiting for it, even more so. Your permission's already been granted. It's waiting for you. No one else can occupy that state. It is your kingdom of heaven. You will make it through this. I promise. He promises. We are just. The promise. The promise came because I and my Father are one. My Father is greater than I. He sent me by becoming me and forgetting who he was in me. That I would wake up and remember where I'm from. I and my father are one. My Father is greater than I. I am. Do the meditation. Remember, all we're trying to do is wake up and remember who we are so we can use this law of assumption for the betterment of our consciousness. We're always going to be ascending or trying to ascend. It's a very, very potent change you can make with this. You can make the most wonderful changes that equal the most wonderful life. There's a lot to behold that if you. If you have a block of some kind, keep at this. Because on the other side is the objectification of your happiness and it is waiting for you. So just keep at it now, okay? Repeating. And then we'll move. No matter what the grievances may be, you have no right to carry it around with you. And you cannot ascend in consciousness until all your grievances are tossed on the altar. And sacrificed. Only as you give them up will you find the holy water. Now this holy water is not the church variety, but the symbol of the 12 aspects of the mind. When your mind is cleared of all of its cobwebs, grievances, the bowl of holy water is placed on the backs of oxen and your disciplined mind serves you rather than you serving it. The bull symbolizes the mind in its wild state and must be tamed. Washed in holy water and clothed in soft Vermont raiment. That's in parentheses. Washed in holy water and clothed in soft raiment. R A I M E N T. When you enter the holy of holies alone and bathe in its waters, your mind is washed of all main thoughts and cleansed. Begin now to associate your thoughts only with the good. Only with the good. Then that which proceeds out of your mouth, which is your mind, this is only portraying what's your thoughts are loud enough, but once you voice it well, you've doubled. Maybe even more so. Of course. Begin now to associate your thoughts only with the good. Then that which proceeds out of your mouth will never defile you. I am is the self definition of the infinite God. I'm sorry. Go and tell them that I am has sent me unto you. Go and tell them. Go and tell them that I am has sent me unto you. Awareness I am. Ness is the only power of the universe. Its power makes you alive. If you say I am sick, you are. Have you ever wanted to call in sick and then you mustered up enough sick sounding talk when you got on the phone to call in sick? That is too funny. Now you know why. If you say I am secure, you are feeling yourself into the situation of a given state. You must take upon yourself the results of that state of mind. All things are made alive from a state of mind. And with that the state nothing can be made as you only resurrect the state from which you are identified. Where you are psychologically is what you are in reality. Therefore, if you catch yourself feeling sorry for yourself, stop it and start feeling happy. There it is. Just stop it. I'm going to put a link in the description to this video of. I forget the guy's name again. I remembered after the last time I mentioned this. If you're to going.
