The Perfect Will Of God Ch 6 The Power Of Unlimited Imagination by Neville Goddard

Neville Goddard, the Power of Unlimited Imagination. Postscript from Chapter 5. I forgot to include. We'll do that here. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, by changing the ideas planted there. For you cannot change your thinking until you change the ideas from which your thoughts flow. You don't get things and then become righteous. Righteousness is right. Seeing. Always claim the level above the one you are now on by dying to your present level, for your Father's house has many mansions. Let go of your present mansion and reach for the one you seek. Love it. Chapter 6 the Perfect will of God Understood Psychologically, humanity is an infinite series of levels of awareness and the individual is what he is according to where he is in the series. In the book of Romans, Paul urges us to be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is good and acceptable. The perfect will of God. In other words, do not look at the external world and call it reality, but break its spell by transforming your thinking. Break its spell by transforming your thinking. You're not letting the world think for you, you're transforming your thinking. But you can't change your thinking until you change your ideas, for it's from ideas that you think. Remember, your level of awareness attracts life and is the sole cause of the phenomena you observe. To be aware is to do the will of God, Whose name is I am always being aware. What you are aware of is what you are. I am aware of in parenthesis. I am that I am. I am aware of that which I am, which in parentheses and aware of in parentheses. I am that I am. I am aware of that which I am. Think of an infinite scale of values as I am, with your desired state just above where you now stand. Here we go. Remember, think of an infinite scale of values with your desired state just above where you are now. God speaks to you through the language of desire. When you wish to ascend, it's because God is speaking, calling upon you to surrender yourself to the feeling of already being. To surrender yourself to the feeling of already being that which you want to be. He's calling you through desire. Surrender yourself to the feeling, feeling it real and already being what you desire. Let go of fear, limitation and doubt and subject yourself to the will of God. That's the proper meaning of let go and let God. Let go of fear, doubt and limitation. Limitation of your old concept of self. Doubt that you can be this one. Fear that you can make the change. This is the X. This is where the match game has that wonderful sound or the big X's show up on the. On the screen. You have to not be in fear of change. And you're. You can't. You can't be in love with limitation anymore because limitation is already driving you to where you are. You want to let go of that limitation habit and let go of the fear or the doubt that you can make a positive change here, that you can be in love and married is a wonderful, wonderful, noble desire to have let go of fear, limitation and doubt and subject yourself to the will of God. A mere assumption will lift you up to the level upon which your ideal is identified and you will begin to see your world differently. It'll lift you up to where your ideal is identified and you will begin to see your world differently. Don't you ever. I mean I've been on my own roof. I lived in an apartment building one time, a second, two story. When I was on the second story, I was able to see quite a bit of the neighborhood. It was quite a different view up there. It was really cool. A mere assumption will lift you up to the level upon which your ideal is identified and you will begin to see your world differently. This is where self observation comes in. You do not observe the outer world, but your reactions to it. When another displeases or offends you, look within to the eye who heard with displeasure and is expressing it. When another displeases you or offends you, look within to the eye who heard with displeasure as end is expressing it. Who? Who in you? It's difficult to believe, I know, but you alone are the cause of your displeasure. A lady I know thought her employer was a monster and impossible to please. She had formed an opinion of him and that invisible and inaudible opinion spoke to her all day long, causing her boss to do what he did and say the words to cause her displeasure. Being a gracious lady and willing to change her feeling of I. She heard her boss praise her and she thanked him for his praise. This is a story of Neville's wife, by the way. The moment she found herself returning to the old role of criticizing him, she stopped the thought and put on the new record of praise, thanks and congratulations. Praise, thanks and congratulations. That's not bad. I like where he's going with praise, thanks and congratulations. Three wonderful, wonderful world words. Loving, caring, nurturing. I like those a lot. They've transformed my life. I wanted relationships so bad but did not know that what I was thinking or believing about the opposite sex, which I wanted to be in a relationship with. I didn't know my thinking was pushing it farther, pushing them farther away. Until I changed it here. Did I not have the experience until I changed it here. Then after I changed it, I could open up to experience. It just started showing up positively, not the negative ones, because I had a lot before she thought. She stopped the thought and put on the new record of praise. Thanks and congratulations. Within 24 hours, the new record externalized itself. And when she resa and when she resigned a year later, her boss begged her to stay and told her that if she ever wanted to return, the door was always open to her. Your inward conversations are the breeding ground for all your future action. Morning, noon and night. You are carrying on internal arguments. When you catch yourself, break the habit by consciously creating new thoughts, thereby making a new record to externalize itself in your future. God's will is I am. His will is always being done for. It is the power that resurrects and makes alive. Think about that. God's will is I am. I am. Here's me, limitations, experience. I've now identified my desire. I know what I want to be. I want to be married, in love and in a relationship, happy. I have the desire for that. I am. That I am is making an impression. When you stake that claim of your desire, you're making the impression I am. God's will is I am. It's not your will. You can't will that. When you stake the claim, that's God's will. When you say I am happy, married and in love, that's God's will. Because the first phrase you used is the name of God. I am is God. So then now that is his will. I am happy and in love, married. God is happy, in love, married. His will is always being done for it is the power that resurrects and makes alive. There is no transforming power in time, only transformation of the moment. There is no time, there's only now. So there can be no transformation in time. You don't have to do this like standards when you're a kid, getting in trouble in class and staying after and writing them over and over and over. There is no transforming power in time, only transformation of the moment. So there is no amount of repeating, repeating, repeating, like I was making a point of standards. You don't have to do your affirmations a thousand times a minute. It's not nothing to do with that. It's more of when do you feel that change. It's more about the feeling of the Reality of that objective. If you're having difficulty with another, look into self, for it is the I called you who is speaking to you as a thought. Listen carefully, carefully to what you are saying to yourself and you will discover where the difficulty lies. Let me now define self or soul. It is that which you believe, feel, think and consent to. Definition of self or soul. It's that which you believe, think, feel and consent to. You may consent to the belief that you have been mistreated, that you are dumb, or they and their cruelty are causing your displeasure. If you do, your consent forms your level of being and attracts your life, be it good, bad or indifferent. Oh, boy. Your soul cannot be changed by joining churches, synagogues or groups. You must turn to self, the inner I, you know so well as it is he who. Who attracts those who mistreat you and determine every little detail of your outer experience. I must repeat, your soul cannot be changed by joining churches, synagogues or groups. You must turn to self, the inner eye, the one you know so well as it is he who attracts those who mistreat you and determines every little detail of your outer experience. She was having Neville. Neville's wife was having a very difficult time with her, with her boss. And she turned to AI, on the advice of Neville, to change that record. If you have a secret affection for your conflicts, you cannot be helped. I know people personally that have a name for their ailment. They actually literally have a name for it, my Whatever. And I don't want to. I don't like to give voice to these things. The negative words meaning the labels, we want to erase those. So I'm not going to put them on here to be repeated in your mind. Forget that. But I know somebody who does. Call her condition a name or even initials, like it's a friend. My blank. What about my blank? I can't eat because of my blank. I can't do that because of my blank. Like, it's a limitation. In my opinion. She has found a wonderful way to be in love with her limitations. But she is changing. She's. She's definitely changing now. But this. I'm speaking of the past. Because right now she's definitely changing. And I'm not going to go into detail. If you have a secret affection for your conflicts, you cannot be helped. But I see the person I'm talking about for years was on that record but has now moved the needle off of that. I can vouch for that. But when you consent to be otherwise, then you can change. If you have a Secret affection for your conflicts. You cannot be helped. Now think about that. You're coming to this material, to this work. The Law of Assumption. And some people call it the Law of Attraction. It is the Law of Assumption. If you're coming to this material and you know you can hear that there's a potential, I can fulfill my dreams here, but at the same time, you have a secret affection for your conflicts. Look at the difficulty here. You're in love and wedded to the conflicts and limitations you have right now. Yet you come into this material learning about the Law of Assumption. And it sounds wonderful, but how does that work again? I'm supposed to feel it? What the heck does that even mean? Feel it? Feel what? Feel different? How am I supposed to feel different? What am I supposed to do? I just say, my old boyfriend's now texting me back, what do I do? How soon can I get my job back? How soon can I get my ex back? How soon can you see these in social media? People just want instant answers, but not realizing what he just said. Neville, if you have a secret affection for your conflicts, you cannot be helped. Even though you want to help yourself. Even though you heard of Neville and you're reading and you're studying and you're listening to the lectures and you're looking at the groups, you're looking at the Facebooks and you're looking at the whatever else. Reddit, I think, Riddick, you know what I'm talking about. Reddit. If you're looking at that and you're trying to find answers, that's great. You're on the right path. But you have a secret affection for your conflicts. You have to admit this and give this up. Stop this. Stop it. But when you consent to be otherwise, then you can change because you stop. All right. Subject yourself to the will of God by first knowing your ideal, then yielding to it by doing in your imagination, which you would do physically if your desire were realized. You simply take on the imagining of what you would be doing were you here. If you were already married, in love, and happily in a relationship, in a new home, what would you be doing when you go to sleep? This is what needs to be in your imagining, the physical movement. If you're walking from your bed to your toilet in the middle of the night, you must be in that relationship. You must feel you're leaving the bed, leaving him right there while you go use the toilet. Which side does he sleep on? That's the side you feel he is. You don't even know him. Yet, but you feel he's right there. The man of your dreams is right next to you. As I go to the toilet, I leave him behind. I'm extra quiet because I don't want to wake him. These are the kind of imaginings of what you would do were you there. Once this is clearly defined, let's say, using that as an example, repeat the act over and over again until you feel affected by it and its fulfillment possesses your mind. It begins to feel natural when the idea is so firmly entrenched and your thoughts flow freely from it. Watch, for you will have a change in your external world. Right. When you sense that, just watch. You will have a change in your external world. Become pure in heart by purging your mind from the beliefs, from the belief in powers outside of yourself. Very, very most potent and powerful sentence at the right time. Become pure in heart by purging your mind from the belief in powers outside of yourself. If you believe out here is where the answers are not gonna cut it, not going to cut it, no matter how much you line up out here. Become pure in heart by purging your mind from the belief in powers outside of yourself, all the powers inside of yourself. Then believing that consciousness is the only reality, weave yourself into a new state of awareness. For your world is your house, your state of consciousness. Externalized. Clean house by observing your thoughts. When you first begin to do this, you will discover most of your thoughts are unlovely. But as you learn to passively think of people you dislike, your thoughts will lose their unloveliness. And with a mind filled with joy and thanksgiving, you will ascend Jacob's ladder of self into the kingdom of love. All right. Any new ascent, you're heading towards the kingdom of love. When. When you have carefully defined your desire. Completely and utterly yield to it. When you have completely defined your desire, your desire is always within you. You've set off the sentence. You went into your I am meditation. What that means couple breaths. I am. I am I. Some deep breaths. Three deep breaths. Three I ams. You're home already. That's when you're asking, what is it I would love to do? What is it I want to be? What is it that having would make me happy? Be, have and do. You've heard it. It's now defined. You grasp onto one idea that's there. That's your desire coming from within, coming from him. When you have carefully defined your desire, which is a very, very important step, cannot be overlooked, cannot be understated. This is the first Step, we already heard in the last chapter, he talk about. Many metaphysical students don't even have a name. At least they're in the right department. Trying to define themselves, trying to know themselves. When you have carefully defined your desire, completely and utterly yield to it. Then try to remain faithful to the new idea you have entered in the beginning. You may not succeed, but don't condemn yourself. Don't judge yourself. Simply return as many times as necessary until the feeling becomes so strong your thoughts habitually flow. Flow from the new state. It becomes so strong, the thoughts start coming from here. Not only do you now get up out of bed in the middle of the night to go use the toilet. Or if you're in Germany, the toilet. Excuse me. You're careful not to wake him up. You're not tiptoeing, but you're just mindful because he's in bed next to you on the side, you imagine he will be sleeping. And you're going to the kitchen to get some water, turning on the tap, get in your glass. You're very careful. You come back, you set it to the nightstand, but you're being careful and quiet. You're doing things with the conscious awareness of his presence. It becomes so strong your thoughts habitually flow from the new state. This teaching is not for the weak. And I'm here to tell you. I'm here to tell you that is the facts, Jack. It's only for the courageous, and as Seth said, only the most brave, courageous souls come into this system. Into this system. This is not easy, but it's doable depending on where you're coming at this from again. I told you my decades, my decades of effort to get right here. Decades. You don't have to take what I took. And I'm not here to compare scars. I don't want to do that. That's not the point. Return as many times as necessary until the feeling becomes so strong your thoughts habitually flow from the new state. Okay. We know that this teaching is not for the weak. It is not for those who seek escape from life or want to point fingers of blame at one another. Hmm. There's plenty houses of inebriation that are there for you. It's funny. Where I grew up, on this one street between three major traffic lights, which approximately amounted to about two miles, maybe. Maybe it was two mile stretch. If in my mind I could tell you how many actual bars were on this, I would say approximately nine. Of which one I lived immediately next door to. We're talking two miles where I grew up through the 70s and the 80s. I graduated in 1984. This stretch was occupied by eight, at least nine bars. This teaching is not for the weak. It is not for those who seek escape from life or want to point fingers of blame at one another. What do you think was happening in those bars? Don't get me wrong. I am not begrudging any kind of form of alcohol. He gave us the grain, he gave us the grapes. The garden had these things. And then he gave us the knowledge of how to make beverage from those things. That was stated by Neville in one of his lectures. I'm not here to color anything right or wrong here about that subject, but the subject of being those who escape, who seek escape from life or want to point fingers of blame at one another. There was nine establishments for those commiseration moments. I'd like to think we've changed for the. For the better. I mean, I'm an optimist. I am eternally an optimistic person. But that was quite a time. That was the time I could see where if you wanted to escape, it was readily available. You didn't have to walk very many blocks. I mean in two miles. To find the Christ in you, who is your hope of glory, you must be willing to test yourself. You must be willing to test yourself to find the Christ who is within you, your hope of glory. You must be willing to test yourself. I tell you, he is your I who calls all men and manifestations to you. If you're doing this impression and you're becoming that, he is your eye that calls all manifestations to you, you become here or that becomes here. It doesn't make a difference. Life is easier when you can blame another. But I urge you to pray. Not for an easy life, but to become us, but to become a stronger man, stronger. That you know this, that you know this law. The one who is bearing witness to your thoughts is the cause of your misfortune, not the other fellow. The one who is bearing witness to your thoughts is the cause of your misfortune. That not the other fellow. The one who is bearing witness to your thoughts is you. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. And you will prove the good and acceptable word of God. Would it be acceptable to you to be lifted on high? That is the will of God, which will not turn back until he has executed and accomplish the intents of your mind. You are doing God's will when you identify yourself with your desire. And if you believe your claim, you are righteous and your world will out. Picture your Righteousness. But if you do not believe, you will miss your mark and die in your sins. The only escape from the life you now lead is by a radical psychological transformation of self. This is done by defining your eye with your desire, then changing your thoughts until their effect possesses your mind and your eye resides comfortably in the new state. Remember, your level of being attracts life. And unless the level changes, your history remain. Unless the level changes, your history remains the same. Remember, your level of being attracts life. And unless you the level changes, your history remains the same. Let your present level die by subjecting your entire being to a level beyond it. Subject your entire level of being to a level beyond beyond it. Let this one die. Your present level. Try it. It really is not difficult to do. Remove the hold that the pat. Remove the hold that past wrong emotional reactions have upon you by reviewing the experiences and changing them. Now, that means revision, because you can easily do that. We're going to get into that. But as a commercial, let's say you were riding your bike in front of your classmates and you were in third grade and you crashed and they all laughed at you. And that memory stuck with you for some reason. Whatever. Doesn't matter now. We can revise it now in your memory as you're falling asleep or any other time you'd like to revise that memory because it means something to you. The point of which that type of memory, it doesn't matter what it is, it means something to you. It's an emotional thing. Then revision is. Take some time in your now and see the memory different. Rewrite the script. You were actually popping a wheelie on your bike and everybody was applauding you. And you hear the smiles and the applause and you see the smiles and you feel good and you're popping your wheelie on your bike and everybody feels better, including your new now. Because that past event just changed. You just literally reframed it, recreated it, re experienced it. So now in your new experience, you're the new man. Just one act of revision can do that, can make you the new man, which you just did. Now fill in the blank right there. Pause this. Do a fast revision on something that seems silly to somebody else but to you was important. And just re experience it in the way you would have hoped it would have gone and then attached to the new memory. Do it once. Do it three times a day if you. If you want. But sooner or later, what's going to happen is you're going to remember the memory you put in, not the one you thought you experienced before. That's like not even. Doesn't even have room in your head anymore. Remove the hold that past wrong emotional reactions have upon you by reviewing the experiences and changing them. This is done by rewriting the experience in your mind and saying what you should have said and and doing what you should have done at the time. Let this corrected picture slip back into the subconscious as you resolve not to make the same mistake again. By repetition of this technique, you will rid yourself of all feelings of hate, resentment, and other emotional disturbances that cling to your memory. And to the degree that you release yourself from these destructive feelings, you will free yourself from their power to attract ill health and wrong results. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. What a wonderful chapter. Chapter six. The Perfect Will of God Postscript. Relaxation of the body, passivity of the mind, and fixation of attention on the objective desire equals fulfillment of the objective. Anxiety has no creative power. Consciousness, whose origin is in eternity, provides the power for your experiences in time. Consciousness. Test yourself. For in this teaching there is no room for failure. All you have to do is test it. All you have to do is imagine what you want to be, have or do and what you would be doing if you were already be having or doing that thing, whatever that is. But as he said in this chapter, you must know what your desire is. You must have the object of focus. What is it that you desire? Great and amazing chapter. All right, we're going to see you in the next one.
