Whom Seek Ye Ch 4 Your Faith Is Your Fortune by Neville Goddard

Neville Goddard teaches that your faith shapes your fortune through the power of "I am" consciousness. Your self-conception determines what you attract and become. Transformation happens internally, not through external circumstances.
Kevil Goddard, your faith is your fortune. Chapter four. Whom seek ye? I have told you that I am. If therefore ye seek me, let these go their way. John 18:8 as soon then as he had said unto them, I am, they went backward and fell to the ground. John 18:6 Today there is so much said about masters, elder brothers, adepts and initiates that numberless truth seekers are being constantly misled by seeking these false lights for a price. Most of these pseudo teachers offer their students initiation into the mysteries, promising them guidance and direction. Man's weakness for leaders, as well as his worship of idols makes him an easy prey of these schools and teachers. Good will come to most of those enrolled students. They will discover, after years of awaiting and sacrificing, that they were following a mirage. They will then become disillusioned in their schools and teachers and this disappointment will be worth the effort and price they paid for their fruitless search. They will then turn from their worship of man and in so doing discover. And in so doing will discover that which they are seeking is not to be found in another. For the kingdom of heaven is within. The kingdom of heaven is within. The kingdom of Heaven. Kingdom of heaven is within. Searching out here, this is your self conception. Searching outside is not where you find the kingdom of heaven, it's inside. The I am is your kingdom of heaven. This is your self concept. This is your manifestation. Your kingdom of heaven is within. This realization will be their first real initiation. The lesson learned will be there is only one Master, and this master is God. The I am within themselves. I am the Lord, thy God, who led thee out of the land of darkness, out of the house of bondage. I am. Your awareness is Lord and master. And besides your awareness, there is neither Lord nor master. You are the master of all that you will ever be aware of being. Over and over we're going to be talking about I am the conception of self, all these different concepts of yourself. You are here and you want to be here. The I am is your path to getting there. And that I am is literally just your awareness of being. And that I am is in you, not outside of you. His point about trying to find other teachers to show you the way is. Is a fruitless search. But when you learn from that search, if you do that, it's not out here, the kingdom of heaven that it's within here. That's your first true initiation. That's the first lesson. You know that you are, do you not? Knowing that you are is the Lord and master of that which you know you are. You could be completely isolated by man from that which you are conscious of being. Yet you would, in spite of all human barriers, effortlessly draw to yourself all that you were conscious of being. It's like when someone moves to another state or another city and they think they're gonna. They're gonna leave. Maybe they don't like neighbors or the house they're in or people that they're working with or whatever, and they make a big move to another state or city or whatever and they don't. They don't realize that they're taking themselves with them. So sooner or later everything just starts to re sprout in different people that they might expose themselves to in their environments. These people all of a sudden take on the same attitudes of the last people they were around that they had resentment with. You could be. I'm going to repeat that sentence. You can be completely isolated by man from that which you are conscious of being. Conscious of being that. That self concept. Yet you would, in spite of all human barriers, effortlessly, even if you went to Alaska, in other words, effortlessly draw to yourself all that you were conscious of being. Because everything you're conscious of being is not going to leave if you move around. It's going with you. Not going to just disappear. The man who is conscious of being poor does not need the assistance of anyone to express his poverty. The man who is conscious of being sick, though isolated in the most hermetically sealed germ proof area in the world, would express sickness. There is no barrier to God, for God is your awareness of being. Regardless of what you are aware of being, you can and do express it without effort. Stop looking for the master to come. He is with you always. I am with you always. Even unto the end of the world. I am with you always. This is you. These are your self concepts. My father's house has many mansions. Whichever mansion you occupy, he is with you always, even unto the end of the world. I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. You will, from time to time know yourself to be many things. But you need not be anything to know that you are. You can, if you so desire, disentangle yourself from the body you wear. In so doing you realize that you are a faceless, formless awareness and not dependent on the form you are in your expression. That's when you go in meditation. I am. Disentangle yourself from the world. Close your eyes. Breathe. I am floating. You will know that you are. You will also discover that this knowing that you are is God. The Father, which preceded all that you ever knew yourself to be. Before the world was, you were aware of being and so you were saying I am and I am will be. After all that you know yourself to be shall cease to. Beautiful sentence. Let's repeat that. Before the world was, you were aware of being, and so you were saying I am and I am will be. After all that you know yourself to after all that you know yourself to be shall cease to be. Even if all of these self concepts go away, you will still be aware of your I am right here. You will still have that awareness. It is not going anywhere. There are no ascended masters. Banish this superstition. There are no ascended masters. You will forever rise from one level of consciousness master to another. In so doing you manifest in so doing you manifest the ascended level, expressing this newly acquired consciousness. You will forever rise from one level of consciousness, this one, to another. This one. In so doing you manifest the ascended level, expressing this newly acquired consciousness. Consciousness, Being lord and master. You are the master magician, conjuring that which you are now conscious of, being for God consciousness. It's in parentheses. Excuse me. For God consciousness calleth those things which be not as though they were Things that are not now seen will be seen the moment you become conscious of being that which is not now seen. Again, as an example, here you are in this self concept of not being in a relationship or married, and you want to be in a relationship or married. This limited self is reminding you of your potential. Your potential is always available. It's up to you to find. Excuse me, I think I lost my point. Oh, excuse me. You will forever rise from one level of consciousness to another. In so doing you manifest the ascended level. So you're in the single not married status and you want to change from that and you want to change. You pray and you do your sats to this and you will constantly ascend to the new level Consciousness, being lord and master, you are the master magician, conjuring that which you are now conscious of being a again conscious of being for God consciousness calleth those things which be not as though they were. The things that are not now seen will be seen the moment you become conscious of being that which is not now seen. Again. I know I'm repeating, but it's definitely worth its weight in gold when we get it in and we let it soak in and it hits fertile ground. Sooner or later we're going to realize that that new consciousness, that new awareness of being is available. It's here now with limitation. But you can have this one anytime you want and choose with enough desire to start manifesting it by focusing on it, by putting your attention in that direction. This rising from one level of consciousness to another is the only Ascension that you will ever experience. Think about that. That's the only ascension you will ever experience. No man can lift you to the level you desire. The power to ascend is within yourself. It is your consciousness. You appropriate the consciousness of the level you desire to express by claiming that you are now expressing such a level. I am happily married. Doesn't matter if you're single and you have a relationship difficulty, or if you're breaking up, or if you've broken up or. Or whatever the situation is. I am happily married. Claim it. Decree it. This is the Ascension. It is limitless. For you will never exhaust your capacity to ascend. You will never exhaust your capacity to ascend. Turn from the human superstition of Ascension with this belief in Masters and find the only and everlasting Master and everlasting Master within yourself. Turn from the human superstition of Ascension with its beliefs in Masters and find the only and everlasting Master within yourself. Far greater is he that is you than he that is in the world. Far greater is he that is you than he that is in the world. Okay, believe this. Do not continue in blindness, following after the mirage of Masters. I assure you, your search can end only in disappointment. If you deny me your awareness of being in parentheses, I shall deny you also. If you deny me, I shall deny you also. If you do not become aware of your. Of your I am. Your I am is not aware of you. Be still and know that I am God. I am consciousness. Thou shalt have no other God beside me. Thou shalt have no other God beside me. No other God. Anything outside. No, I am is the only. Be still and know that I am God. Come, prove me and see if I will not open you the windows of Heaven and pour you out a blessing and that, and, excuse me, pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it. This sounds very abundant. Let me repeat that. Come, prove me and see if I will not open you the windows of Heaven and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And if anybody's ever felt fallen in love before, hopefully you've had the experience many times. Once, twice at least, if not a dozen, in your lifetime with your parents, brothers and sisters, your significant other. It is, and it does feel that the windows of Heaven have opened up. And you've been poured a blessing and it doesn't seem like there is even hardly room enough to receive it. It's just an overwhelming feeling when you fall in love. It feels like there's not enough room to contain it. Do you believe that I am is able to do this? Then claim me to be that which you want to see poured out. Claim yourself to be that which you want to be and that you shall be. Not because of masters will I give it unto you, but because you have recognized me, which is yourself to be that. You have recognized me to be that m e me, it's your self concept is me to be that I will give it unto you. For I am all things to all. Jesus would not permit himself to be called good Master. He knew that there is but one good and one Master. He knew this one to be his Father in heaven. The awareness of being, the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven are within you. Your belief in masters is a confession of your slavery. Only slaves have masters. Change your conception of yourself and you will, without the aid of masters or anyone else, automatically transform your world to conform to the to your changed conception of yourself. Change your conception of yourself and you will, without the aid of masters or anyone else, automatically transform your world to conform to your changed conception of yourself without anybody else. This is you. You are the authority. You are told in the Book of Numbers that there was a time when men were in their own eyes as grasshoppers, and because of this conception of themselves, they saw giants in the land. This is as true of man today as it was the day it was recorded. Man's conception of himself is so grasshopper like that he automatically makes the conditions round about him appear gigantic. In his blindness, he cries out for masters to help him fight his giant problems. Are there enough lessons to be had across the platform known as YouTube? Are there enough classes? Do we need more? Jesus tried to show man that salvation was within himself and warned him not to look for his Savior in places or people. If anyone should come saying look here or look there, believe him not, for the kingdom of heaven is within you. Jesus not only refused to permit himself to be called good Master, he warned his followers, salute no man along the highway. He made it clear that they should not recognize any authority or superior other than God the Father. Jesus established the identity of the Father as man's awareness of being. I and my Father are one, but my Father is greater than I. I am one with all that I that I am conscious of being. I am one with all that I am conscious of being, I am greater than that which I am aware of being. The Creator is ever greater than his creation. The Creator is ever greater than his creation. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up. The serpent symbolizes man's present conception of himself as a worm of the dust, living in the wilderness of human confusion. Just as Moses lifted himself from his worm of the dust conception of himself to discover God, to be his awareness of being. I am have sent me. So must you be lifted up the day you claim as did Moses. I am that I am. That day your claim will blossom in the wilderness. I am that I am. I am that I am. Your awareness is the master magician who conjures all things by being that which he would conjure. This Lord and Master that you are can and does make all that you are conscious of being appear in your world. This Lord and Master that you are can and does make all that you are conscious of being appear in your world. Any self concept appears. Any of these self concepts appears in your world. No man. No man cometh unto me, save my Father. Draw him. And I and my Father. Excuse me. No man cometh unto me, save my Father. Draw him. And I and my Father are one. You are constantly drawing to yourself that which you are conscious of being. Change your conception of yourself from that of the slave to that of Christ. Don't be embarrassed to make this claim. Only as you claim I am Christ will you do the works of Christ. Remember, be still and know that I am God. This is a reminder to get you out of any kind of panic or nervousness or bewilderment or confusion. Be still, take your breaths and know that I am God and I. Love the way he puts it here. Change your conception of yourself from that of the slave to that of Christ. Don't be embarrassed to make this claim. Only as you claim I am Christ will you do the works of Christ. The works I do, ye shall do also. And greater works than these shall ye do. For I go unto my Father. He made himself equal with God and found it not robbery to do the works of God. Jesus knew that anyone who dared to claim Himself to be Christ would automatically assume the capacities to express the works of his conception of Christ. Jesus also knew that the exclusive use of this principle of expression was not given to him alone. He constantly referred to His Father in heaven. He stated that his works would not only be equaled, but that they would be surpassed by man who dared to conceive himself to be greater than he Jesus had conceived himself to be. Jesus, in stating that he and his Father were one, but that his Father was greater than he, revealed his awareness to be one with that which he was aware of being. He found himself as Father or awareness to be greater than that which he as Jesus was aware of being. You and your conception of yourself are one. You are and always will be greater than any conception you will ever have of yourself. Any conception you have of yourself, you will always be greater than them because you are. You and the conceiver are one. I am. This is I am. It's you are. Man fails to do the works of Jesus Christ because he attempts to accomplish them from his present level of consciousness. You will never transcend your present accomplishments through sacrifice and struggle. Your present level of consciousness will only be transcended as you drop the present state and rise to a higher level. You rise to a higher level of consciousness by taking your attention away from your present limitations and placing it upon that which you desire to be. Your present level of consciousness, let's say it's this one with its limitations, will only be transcended as you drop the present state and rise to a higher one. Let's just say it's this one. This is married and this is single. Okay? You rise to a higher level of consciousness by taking your attention away from your present limitations. Remove your attention from here and placing it upon that which you desire to be. This is going into sats as you fall asleep and you're seeing yourself in the spooning position. See yourself with the ring on your finger. See yourself on the vacation, coming home from the vacation, from the honeymoon. Do not attempt this in daydreaming or wishful thinking, but in a positive manner. Claim yourself to be the thing desired. I am that. I am. I am that. There's no sacrifice, no diet, no human tricks. All that is asked of you is to accept your desire. Now when Neville says the word accept, it's really a profound statement he's making. Because in other places that I appreciate Neville, he says once you can persuade, he would call it when he became persuaded, when he himself would persuade himself self persuasion or self persuaded of imagining leveling for another, for instance, he would become self persuasion and then it's persuaded. Then he would know it's done. And it's the same thing with the word acceptance here. All that is asked of you is to accept your desire. If you are in this place of the self concept of limitation and no fun and you want to be over here of abundance. And here you're not married and you're single and you want to be married. Let's say this is the example. You just need to accept this. This is all you need to do. All that is asked of you is to accept your desire. If you dare claim it, you will express it. Meditate on these. I rejoice not in the sacrifices of men, not by might nor by power, but by my spirit. Ask and ye shall receive. Come, eat and drink without price. That's the. There's a lot of. There's a lot of good things. I'm calling them good facetiously, but there's a lot of things in the world that would have you consistently believe in your limitations, that there's price necessary, including these other Ascended Masters, as it were, that do not exist. By the way. Come, eat and drink without price. Because once you accept it, once you accept your new abundance and this could be wealthy, this could be not wealthy. This could be ill health. This could be very healthy. Once you accept it. Once you accept it, come and eat and drink without price. The works are finished. All that is required of you to let these qualities into expression is the claim I am. That I am. That I am that claim yourself to be that which you desire to be and that you shall be. Expressions follow the impressions. They do not precede them. Expressions follow the impressions. They do not precede them. Proof that you are will follow the claim that you are. It will not precede it. Leave all and follow me as a double invitation to you. First, it invites you to turn completely away from all problems. And then it calls upon you to continue walking in the claim that you are that which you desire to be. Do not be Allah's wife who looks back and becomes salted or preserved in the dead past. Be a lot who does not look back, but who keeps his vision focused upon the promised land, the thing desired. Do this and you will know that you have found the master. The master magician, making the unseen, the seen through the command. I am that. Oh, boy. Chapter four. Your faith is your fortune. Whom seek ye? I tell you, you start to see a pattern here, of course, and learning and growing and becoming and claiming I am. That does take repetition and it's going to sound repetitive for some, and for some it's not. And the idea of growth and change, I think, requires, my opinion, requires constant reinforcement. And that's what these videos are for, is a constant reinforcement of the material. And the material is that you have the freedom and the ability to be that. What you want to be whatever that is, it doesn't make a difference. It could be health, it could be wealth, it could be love, harmony, having fun, anything. Whatever your self concept is of limitation, you can have the abundance away from the limitation in whatever you want. Health, wealth, love. And the reinforcement of these principles is going to be what this channel is about for me personally. I've been on this subject of learning and studying since 1991 and it's been a constant. I've loved sharing the information as much as I possibly can. And it really is a turn on when you see people take the information and apply it and see them change into that positive, better self concept, into that positive better self concept. And then you see him come back and say, man, oh man, I don't even know who that person was. And I've done it myself. And it is fascinating when I mentioned in the other video about all women are. And I had a very limited concept. I mean it was really negative, but it put me here wonderfully. This self concept had its own. It had its own world that I was embellished in. I was thoroughly enmeshed wonderfully here, but I wanted to be here. And when I changed my concept of what I thought of the opposite sex, all women are loving, caring, nurturing. I was able to finally change this into this. And then so became the relationship and everything that comes with that after. So change requires reinforcement. Change requires you to constantly look at this again and again and again. And the way Neville writes his books is the same way as the Seth material, for instance. It's a repetitive, repetitive, repetitive. From every angle. We're going to come at this from every angle and cover the same thing over and over. Your imagination creates your reality. If you know that's true, which you do, if you're here, you should. If you know it's true, then what is it you are imagining? I'm taking that from Neville. That's what he. It's one of his quotes. Then what is it you are imagining? If you know that your imagination creates your reality and you want your reality to be that I am. That I am. Okay, another great chapter. Chapter four, Your faith is your fortune. Hope you enjoy. We'll see you in the next video.
