The Power of Prayer: Unlocking Your Potential with Neville Goddard's "Prayer: The Art of Believing
In this extensive livestream, Jay Shaw (Big Abundant) interprets Neville Goddard’s book Prayer: The Art of Believing, presenting prayer as a disciplined, hypnotic practice that accesses the subconscious mind. He explains that hypnosis demonstrates how the objective mind can be put to sleep while the subjective mind remains alert, allowing suggestions to take root. Applying this to prayer, Shaw argues that bold, confident assertions made in a controlled reverie (a self‑induced hypnotic state) can transmit thoughts to oneself and to others, shaping reality through belief. He outlines the mirror metaphor—changing one’s self‑image changes the external world—and details how imagination, faith, and feeling function as the “seeds” of creation. The talk covers practical visualization techniques, the three sensory modalities (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) for effective imagination, and step‑by‑step guidance for praying for oneself and for others. Throughout, Shaw interweaves biblical references, examples from business (Walmart, Amazon), and personal coaching anecdotes, while promoting his $20‑a‑month group mastermind and one‑on‑one coaching services. The core message is that disciplined imagination, unwavering belief, and precise mental language can manifest desired outcomes, both personally and in others, provided the subconscious accepts the suggestion.
Chapters
Everyone is amenable to the same psychological laws which govern the ordinary hypnotic subject. He is amenable to control by suggestion. In hypnosis, the object— the objective senses are partially or totally suspended. However, no matter how profoundly the objective senses are locked in hypnosis, these subjective faculties are alert, and the subject recognizes Everything that goes on around him. Oftentimes people think when they get hypnosis they just can't hear anything, can't feel anything, not aware of what's going on around them. That's not called hypnosis, that's called dead. The hypnotist doesn't kill you, they just put you in this state where the objective mind is offline and the subjective mind is running the show. That imaginative part of you that takes whatever is handed to it as reality, that part of you that don't worry about possible, impossible. We bring that part to the forefront where the judgmental objective part— that's true, that's not true— get that part offline. But you're not, you're not dead. You're still aware of what's going on. You're just aware from your subconscious point of view instead of your conscious point of view. That's what that first part said. The activity and power of the subjective minds are proportionate to the sleep of the objective one. Suggestions which appear powerless when presented directly to the objective Consciousness are highly efficacious when the subject is in a hypnotic state. The hypnotic state is simply being unaware, objective. In hypnotism, the conscious mind is put to sleep and the subconscious powers are exposed after being directed and reached by suggestion. It is easy to see from this, providing you accept the truth of mental suggestion, that anyone not objectively aware of you is in a profound hypnotic state. Relative to you. Therefore curse not the king, no, not in thy thought, and curse not the rich in the bedchamber, for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and what— and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. What you sincerely believe is true of another, you will awaken within him. It was— so far the book has been talking about like how you think about you and how you subconsciously Define yourself. Now it's starting to get into the importance of how you view others and talking about how that has an effect on how they treat you. If you view others as bullies, they subconsciously pick up on your view of them and they return the favor. They treat you like a bully. Making sense? I hope so, because we finna keep it. No one need be interested in an ordinary manner to be helped. If the subject is consciously unaware of the suggestion, and if the suggestion is given with conviction and confidently accepted by the operator as true, then you have the ideal setting for a successful prayer. Represent the subject to yourself mentally as though he had already done that which you desire him to do. Mentally speak to him and congratulate him on having done that, that you want him to do. Mentally see him in a state you want him to obtain. Within the circle of its action, every word subjectively spoken awakens objectively what it affirms. Incredulity on the part of the subject is no hindrance when you are in control of your reverie. Gotta be in control of that imagination. And all this is really talking about is starting to see people as you want them to be. You want your kids to show up more disciplined, you need to go inside and start seeing them as more disciplined. If you want your spouse to do certain things they not doing, you quit fussing at them and go inside of yourself and see them already doing it. See a version of them that already exists, is already doing that. Bold assertion by you while you are in partly subjective state awakens what you affirm. Bold assertion by you while you're in a partly subjective state awakens what you affirm. Bold assertion by you while you're in a partly subjective state awakens what you affirm. So when you boldly asserting the fact that the kid's not doing this, the husband not doing this, the wife not doing this, what you're doing is doubling down on the suggestion to not do it. When somebody come to me to quit smoking or to be more confident, you think I'm sitting in there saying, you're not confident, you smoke 20 cigarettes a day? No, I'm not asserting that. I'm asserting the opposite. I'm asserting what we want. I'm asserting what we don't want. I'm asserting the outcome that we desire. Okay, where do we leave off at? Self-confidence on your part and the thorough belief in the truth of your mental assertion are all that is needed to produce results. Visualize the subject and imagine that you hear his voice. This establishes contact with the subjective mind. Then imagine that he's telling you what you want to hear. If you want to send him words of health and wealth, then imagine that he's telling you, I've never felt better and I've never had more. Mentally tell him of your joy in witnessing his good fortune. Imagine that you see and hear his joy. We got to realize that we don't just talk to people at a conscious level, we talk to people at a subconscious level too. We talk with our subjective minds as well. So you could be saying all the right things on a conscious level, but if subconsciously you're going, this person will never change, that's translated as well. And oftentimes the subconscious message is way stronger than the conscious message. If I'm going, I love you, I said I love you, but my subconscious actions did not line up— my body language, my eye movement, the energy that I was giving as I said it did not line up with what was being said consciously. And you can lie consciously, you cannot lie subconsciously. You can trick them, but you can't trick you. Okay, so how do we get the conscious mind— the subconscious mind thinking in the way that we want? Through our imagination and our feeling. It takes practice. The first line of this book was, prayer is an art and requires practice. I'm— there's something to that effect. Let me turn back because I want to give it to you just how it came out. Yep, that's what it is. Prayer is an art and requires practice. The first requirement is controlled imagination. The first requirement is controlled imagination. What's up, what's up, what's up, man? I ain't even seen y'all coming in here. I had clicked off of the Instagram screen and I was on another screen, but what's up, what's up, man? We in here working out a prayer, The Art of Believing by Neville Goddard, and we, we going in and we talking about how to pray for people. First part opened up talking about how to pray for yourself and the power of the conscious and the different powers of the subconscious. Now we're talking about how to pray for others at a way where they can't even fight back against the prayer. So those of you just joining in, welcome, welcome, welcome. And we just pushing through. Look, if you want your comments to pop up on the screen, I need you over here on Instagram. What's up, what's up, what's up? All right, thank you, thank you, thank you. I was reading through some of the comments, but I gotta figure out where we left off. But hey, if you on Instagram and you want me to see your comments, I do check the— I like click over and check the Instagram comments from time to time. But if you want them to pop up live as I'm, as I'm working over here, then, um, get on YouTube, come kick it with us on YouTube. Make sure you hit that subscribe button. All right, where are we at? I'm gonna just jump back in right here. Bold assertion by you while you're in a partly subjective state awakens what you affirm. So it's just saying boldly asserting what you want when you're in that quote-unquote hypnotic state, where you're in that relaxed state, where you're not locked in with your senses, when you're absent with the body and present with the Father. A bold assertion by you from that point of view puts the thing in motion. Self-confidence on your part and the thorough belief in the truth of your mental assertion are all that is needed to produce results. Visualize the subject and imagine that you hear his voice. This establishes contact with his subjective mind. Then imagine that he's telling you what you want to hear. If you want to send him words of health and wealth, then imagine he's telling you, I've never felt better, I've never had more. And mentally tell him of your joy in witnessing his good fortune. Imagine that you see and hear his joy. A mental conversation with the sub— with the subjective image of another must be in a manner which does not express slightest bit as the truth of what you hear and say. You can't be in there being shaky and scared and worried about is it working. You got to go inside. This is where faith comes in. You got to know like you know like you know. The same certainty that you got that today is Monday, you got to know that these things that you are imagining are happening. Like when I'm hypnotizing somebody, like if I'm helping you quit smoking, I can't be in the back of my mind going, oh man, I sure hope this work. He been smoking 20 cigarettes a day for a long I don't know. I gotta be like, look, in a minute, I'm gonna count from 5 down to 0. By the time I get to 0, you're gonna close your eyes. As you close your eyes, you're gonna take a deep breath in. As you let it out, you're gonna relax. And as you relax, this is what you're gonna do. Imagine, really imagine your body just sinking down into that chair. And as your body is sinking down from this chair, guess what else is going to sink down? This habit of Because from this day forward, you will see yourself as a non-smoker. You will feel yourself as a non-smoker. Go ahead and take your first deep breath in as a non-smoker. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna beat that point into this person, but everything in my voice is gonna say it's already done. Everything in my energy is gonna say it's already done. It's gonna— I'm gonna be so— I'm gonna convince myself so deeply that this other person will be able to grab onto this That's what's happening there. That's all that's happening there. And the cells in your body, they listen. And when we convince the subconscious, it's done. Once the subconscious believes something to be true, it's true. I'm telling you, man. What's going on, y'all? Yo, people on, um, Instagram, if you want to be having interaction and you want your comments to pop up on the screen and stuff, Jump over to YouTube. Join us on YouTube and I— your stuff will pop up. I check over to the Instagram from time to time, but the YouTube comments and the, um, Twitch— not Twitch, yeah, Twitch comments, they pop up right here on my main screen. So I see them a lot sooner if you're kicking it with us on YouTube. If you had the least idea that you do not believe what you have imagined, you have heard and seen, the subject will not comply, for your subjective mind will transmit only your fixed idea. Only fixed ideas can awaken their vibratory correlates in those toward whom they are directed. In a controlled reverie, ideas must be suggested with the utmost care. If you do not control your imagination in the reverie, your imagination will control you. I like that, I like that. We're gonna highlight that. If you do not control your imagination in the reverie, your imagination will control you. Whatever you suggest with confidence is law to the subjective mind. Whatever you suggest with confidence is law to the subjective mind. So if you saying things never work out for me, man, can't ever do shit right, that's what you just suggested with confidence, that things never work out for you and you can't ever do things right. Guess what the subconscious mind believes? Things never work out for you when you can't do anything right. Bro, I'm always late. Bro, I can't win if I lose. Watch your mouth. Start speaking positively. Every day in every way, I'm getting better and better. I swear I get 1% better every day. Every time you see me, I'm gonna be a little bit handsomer, a little bit smarter, a little bit wiser. Like, bro, I'm, I'm all about progression. Every time you see me, I'm gonna be better than the last time you saw me. Because I'm confident, I'm handsome, I'm smart, I'm intelligent. I could be doing half anything that I desire. Let's get the internal dialogue. Subconscious believe what you tell it. They got a funny way of believing whatever you tell it. So watch your mouth. You're not stupid, you're not dumb, you don't screw up everything. Quit my anxiety. What is it? Quit claiming stuff you don't want. I'm not saying ignore it and don't treat it, but quit laying claim to things that you don't desire to have. If you in the process of struggling with anxiety, I have a clear mind. I have a clear mind. I'm not saying step away from your, your treatment plan. But in the meantime, use your words in a way that's going to benefit you. Discipline your mind to see yourself the way that you want to be. What that's going to do is recondition your self-image, and you cannot outperform your self-image. If you see you as a failure, you're going to find a way to fail. But when you see success, You gonna always figure it out. You see yourself as a resourceful person, as a type of person who always find a way, become the type of person who always find a way. But it become— a lot of times we'd be so busy trying to convince other people when that's not who we got to convince. We got to convince ourselves. If I want to be an amazing hypnotist, I want to be an amazing therapist, I don't got to convince you. I can fill this wall up with paper. The paper not gonna make me an amazing therapist. Convincing other people that I'm an amazing therapist is not going to make me an amazing therapist. What's going to make me an amazing therapist is convincing me that I'm an amazing therapist. Once I convince me, my subconscious mind is going to connect the dots. It's going to take me to the right courses. It's going to take me to the right books. It's going to take me to the right mentors. In those situations where I don't quite know what to say, my subconscious mind gonna reach out and find the right words. In order for me to get on stages and be an amazing orator, I don't got to convince the crowd that I'm an amazing orator. I got to convince me. Then I'm an amazing orator. When I convince me that I'm an amazing orator, the confidence gonna show up, the topic's gonna show up, the gigs are gonna show up. But if I don't convince me, I can be standing next to the opportunity. If I haven't convinced me, I'm not even gonna grab onto the opportunity. People, I'm just waiting on God. No, God waiting on you to start believing in you. God already created everything. He created it all in 6 days. He not making no more stuff. Everything is already here. Your job as a creator that's made in the image of God is to piece together the stuff that's already here in different configurations. Like, if you want to bake a cake, you got the flour and you got the eggs and you got the milk and you got the bowl and you got the spoon and you got the oven. God not coming to put the stuff in the bowl, stir it up for you. And you got the ingredients. It's a matter— it's a matter of disciplining your imagination to use the ingredients. The ingredients are already here. Stop trying to convince them and convince you that it's possible. Once you convince you that it's possible, you're gonna see all the pieces is already there because you already got everything you need. You don't need a new MacBook, you don't need a new camera, you don't need a new tripod, you don't need a new piece of software. Now, I'm not saying those things can't help, but you got everything you need right now to start on the first step. Probably the first 10 steps. Whatever you watching this stream on to get you started, if it, if it got enough bandwidth and data and it's smart enough to access the app that you watching this on, you can start a business from that. Now if you waiting on this specific $3,000 camera before you even take the first steps, it ain't no nice way around it. That's stupid and it's an excuse. It ain't, it ain't no way to dance around. Anybody else tell you anything different, quit listening to them because they finna stay stuck with you. Find you some people who gonna motivate you, who gonna inspire you, who gonna speak life into you. Hang around those people. Those are people you need to surround yourself with. What's up, man? People who just getting in here, I'm Big Abundant. We working out of a book called Prayer: The Art of Believing by Neville Goddard. So if you in, uh, manifesting, if you into learning how to control your conscious mind, your subconscious mind, if you're trying to get locked into a positive flow, get in here and kick it with us. If you're interested in getting coached with me one-on-one, you can hit me up at bigabundant.com. But if you want to get coached by me in a group environment for only $20 a month, that information is down there, man. We starting the Big Abundant Mastermind in about a month and a half. Every other Sunday I'll be taking the group into a Zoom room and we're gonna be doing some, some coaching. Like when I get on Instagram, I teach a little bit and we chill and kick back a little bit, but this group, we're gonna be hard up coaching. We're gonna be talking about real life problems and solutions. Like, so if you interested, pull up, come kick it with us. I love to see you there. But, um, let's jump back into this book. Whatever you suggest with confidence is law to the subjective mind. So when you confidently say, I don't ever do anything right, you just gave law to the subconscious mind. Things don't ever work out for me, you just gave law to the subconscious mind. Watch your mouth. It is under obligation to objectify that which you mentally affirm. Not only does the subject execute the state affirmed, but he does it as though the decision had come of itself. Or the idea, or the idea had originated by him. So this is talking about how we transmute our thoughts to other people. Control of the subconscious is dominion over all. Each state obeys one's mind's control. Control of the subconscious is accomplished through control of your beliefs, which in turn is the all-potent factor in the visible states. Imagination and faith are the secrets Of creation. Last 2 lines are powerful. Imagination and faith are the secrets of creation. Walmart was built through imagination and faith. Amazon, imagination and faith. Apple, imagination and faith. Coca-Cola, imagination and faith. You can't buy imagination. You can't buy faith. Those 2 things that you gotta construct from within, you can only get those from one place— inside of you. It takes a decision, locking down on something and practicing it. It takes practice. Earlier in this book, it was talking about how it takes practice. Prayer is an art and requires practice. Discipline your imagination takes practice. Faith is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. And you always got faith in something. People are brightening. I ain't got no faith. Oh, right now you got faith in the fact that you don't got faith. You always got faith. Make sure you point your faith at what you want instead of what you don't want. Let's go. So chapter five, Law of Thought Transmission. He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions. He transmitted the consciousness of health and awoke his victory cordially in one toward whom it was directed. He mentally represented the subject of himself in a state of health and imagined he heard the sermon affirming, for no word of God shall be void of power. Therefore hold fast the pattern, the pattern of helpful words which thou hast heard. No word of God shall be void of power. I like that. To pray successfully, you must clearly— you must have clearly defined objectives. You can't hit the target. And I know you know what you don't want. What you don't want, not enough. We got to take time to get clear on what you you do want. What's going on, Nadia? Welcome. Yo, if y'all want y'all comments and stuff to pop up, come join us over here on YouTube. Streaming this on YouTube as well. And you got you just got a lot more actions and stuff you could do on YouTube. Just around don't let me do a lot. Over there, just let me show it. But to pray successfully, you must have clearly defined objectives. You must know what you want before you can ask for it. You must know what you want before you can feel that you have it. And prayer is the feeling of the fulfilled desire. Prayer, prayer is literally practicing how you gonna feel when you get it. I've heard the term, when the praises go up, blessings come down. Prayer is the act of sending up the praises before Blessings even there. But through being in that state of mind of it's already done, you got a way of being able to see God to connect you to the blessing. It does not matter what it is you seek in prayer, or where it is, or whom it concerns. You have nothing to do but convince yourself of the truth of that which you desire to see manifest. When you emerge from prayer, you no longer seek, for you have. If you afraid correctly, subconsciously assume the reality of the state sought, and by the law of reversibility, your subconscious must objectify that which it confirms. I better play with this. Y'all better play with this stuff. I'm telling you, you better play with this stuff. When I'm doing hypnosis, people think it's it's man. It's not magic. It's understanding the power of words, and when you use them in a certain way, they got a certain effect. That's all I'm doing when I'm hypnotizing people. I know the power of words. I know the power of seeing something clearly in my mind and selling it to myself in a way that when I speak, it got so much authority behind it that it can convince you to be stuck to the ground. Try to notice that you can't. Go ahead and try. Notice the harder you try, the tighter they Tighter and tighter. You're going, how in the hell did he just stick my foot to the ground? I saw it vividly stuck to the ground, and I got so convinced that it was stuck to the ground that subconsciously it had already happened. You know how when you dreaming, you don't need something— a lot of times you don't even know it's a dream until you wake up. As it was happening, as far as you was concerned, it was— That's the power of the subconscious. But you do the same thing with your success. Don't wait on the money, don't wait on the trophies, don't wait on any of that stuff to become successful. Become successful. If I was successful, how would I walk? How would I talk? How would I stand? How would I practice? How would I train? What attitude would I bring to the gym if I was already successful? What attitude would I bring to my business if I was already successful? If I was already a millionaire, how would I talk? How would I walk? I think— that's the difference. How would I think? How would I describe myself if I was already a millionaire? I'm gonna start describing myself like that right here, right now. I'm gonna start feeling like that right here, right now. When I start feeling like that, I'm gonna start thinking like that. And when I start thinking like that, I'm gonna start acting like that. And when I start acting like that, I'm gonna start producing like that. When I start producing like that, the money got to show up. The clients got to show up. The stream gotta blow up, the thing gotta take off. But if I'm waiting on the thing to take off before I'm willing to feel that way, you trying to put the horse before the carriage. I mean, you trying to put the carriage before the horse. No, something gotta pull the carriage, and that's your imagination. That's your imagination. You can't feel good because of— you got to learn how to feel good in spite of. Yeah, that's a good point. You got to learn how to feel good just because you want to feel good. You got to quit waiting on a reason to feel good. I want to feel good because when I feel good, I want to feel good because I'm at my best when I feel good. And I'm not gonna wait on the weather to be a specific way. I'm not gonna wait on my bank account to look a certain way. I'm not gonna wait till the scale says certain things before I feel good. I'm gonna feel good right now. I'm gonna feel good as I lose the weight. I'm gonna feel good as I make the money. I'm gonna feel good as I find the spouse. I'm not waiting on the spouse to make Happy. I'm not waiting on the money to make me rich. I'm not waiting on the credentials to certify me. I'm already certified. It's like an acorn becoming an oak tree. It's already an oak tree. You just got to be put in the ground. You put that oak tree in the ground, cover it in the soil, it's already well on its way to becoming an oak tree. At what point does it become an oak tree? Who's to say? At what point does it go from acorn to oak tree? Yes, sir. It's already— it's everything it already need is already inside. It already possesses every part of the tree inside of you. You already got every part of the business inside of you. You already got every part of the relationship inside of you, but you can't wait on it to physically manifest to start acting on it. All right, let me— let me get back in the book. New people just joined, what's up, what's up, what's up? We working out of prayer, The Art of Believing by Neville Goddard. And I just ran off on a little tangent about how you don't gotta wait on permission to feel good. You gotta feel good because you want to feel good. Your reason for feeling good should be that it feels good to feel good. I want to feel good because I like the way I feel when I feel good. What's going on, Ray? That should be reason enough for you to feel good. I want to feel good because feeling good feels good. If it's freezing outside, good, I'ma still feel good. If it's the perfect weather outside, good, I'ma still feel good. Bank account in negative, good. I'ma still feel good. Because if the bank account is in the negative, you think you're gonna be in a better condition to get it out of the negative if you feel it good or if you down and out? When you down and out, you thinking down and out, you acting down and out. Don't nobody want to invest with you. Who want to invest in somebody who feel down and out? It's been times when I was broke off my ass, you wouldn't know about talking to me. And I feel so good to be around that you still finna come kick it. You still finna invest in because I don't feel broken. And because I don't ever feel broken, ain't never broken from because I feel good. When I feel good, people want to hire you to come places and inspire other people to feel feeling good as a superpower. Let's just boil it down to that: feeling good as a superpower. Practice, practice feeling good. I can't practice feeling good. I need so you don't need certain things to happen to feel good. You can feel good right here, right now. Let's get back into the book. Let's get back into the book. Where did I leave off? You must have a conductor to transmit a force. That's what we was. Oh yeah, I had just turned the page. All right, so you must have a conductor to transmit a force. You may employ a wire, a jet of water, a current of air, a ray of light, or any intermediary whatsoever. The principle of the photophone, or the transmission of the voice by light, will help you understand thought transmission, or the sending of a word to heal another. There's a strong analogy between a spoken voice and a mental voice. To think is to speak low. To speak is to think aloud. Uh-oh, somebody mixed it. We got— we gotta say it again. Let's slow it down. To think is to speak low. To speak is to think loud. The principle of the photophone is this: a ray of light is reflected by a mirror and projected to a receiver at a distance. Back of the mirror is a mouthpiece. By speaking into the mouthpiece, you cause the mirror to vibrate. A vibrating mirror modifies the light reflected on it. The modified light has your speech to carry, not as speech, but as represented in its mechanical correlate. It reaches the distant station and impinges on the disc within the receiver. It causes this disc to vibrate according to the modification it undergoes, and it reproduces your voice. Stick with it, it's coming. I am the light of the world. I am the knowledge that I exist as a light by means of which what passes in my mind is rendered visible. Memory, or my ability to mentally see what is objectively present, proves that my mind is a mirror, so sensitive a mirror that it can reflect the thought. The perception of an image memory in no way differs as a visual act from the perception of my image in a mirror. The same principle of seeing is involved in both. Stick with it, it's gonna click. Stick with it. Your consciousness is the light reflected on the mirror of your mind and projected in a space to the one of whom you think. By mentally speaking to the subjective image in your mind, the mirror of your mind vibrates. Your vibrating mind modifies the light of consciousness reflected on it. The modified light of consciousness reaches the one toward whom it is directed and impinges on the mirror of his mind. It causes his mind to vibrate according to the modification it undergoes. Thus, it reproduces in him mentally affirmed by you. Let me check on Instagram real quick, make sure they good. Y'all good over here, Instagram? Hey, if y'all want to be in the mix live, come kick it with us over here on YouTube. But anyway, let's get back into this. Your beliefs, your fixed attitudes of mind, constantly modify your consciousness as it is reflected on the mirror of your mind. Your consciousness, modified by your beliefs, objectifies In the conditions of your world. To change your world, you must first change your conception of it. That's worth writing down. And let's, let's write this down in the first person. So we're gonna say, to change my world, I must first change my conception of it. If I'm seeing the world as this place where the government out to get me and they trying to hold me down, I can't win for losing, and it's too Too expensive, and the Democrats doing this, Republicans doing this, and the police doing this. In order to change my world, I got to change my conception of it. I got to see the world as this place where things always work out for me. But sometimes I don't even know how to make it true, but stuff always work out for me. Now that's the version of the world that I'm gonna start creating because I just changed Yeah. People be trying to change the mirror. It's like having something on your face. Let's say you look in the mirror, in the mirror you see that there's something on your forehead, but instead of taking it off of your forehead, you trying to take it off of the mirror, and you getting fed because it's still there, but you trying to take it off of the mirror. The mirror is the reflection of what's really happening. So you can't change that. You gotta change this, and through changing this, you automatically change that. It's a saying to say you don't see the world as it is, you see the world as you are. If you're an angry person, you see the world as an angry place. If you're a generous person, you see the world as a generous place. The world got a funny way of reflecting you back to you. It's a mirror. So stop trying to change the mirror and change you. And when you change you, the mirror automatically gonna change. If you working on the mirror, you're not changing nothing, you're just getting yourself all mad. But let's keep going. To change a man, you must change your conception of him. You must first believe him to be the man you want him to be and mentally talk to him as though he were. All men are sufficiently sensitive to reproduce your beliefs of them. Therefore, if your world is not reproduced visibly in him toward whom you send it, the cause is to be found in you, not the subject. As soon as you believe in the truth of the state affirmed, the results follow. Everyone— not some people, not most people— everyone can be transformed. Ever. Hold on, I got lost. Everyone can be transformed. Every thought can be transmitted. Every thought can be visibly embodied. Subjective words, the subconscious obsessions, assumptions awaken what they affirm. They are living and active and shall not return unto you void, but shall accomplish that which I please and shall prosper in the things I sent them. They are endowed with intelligence pertaining to their mission and will persist until the object of their existence is realized. They persist until they awaken the vibratory correlates of themselves within the one toward whom they are directed. But the moment the object of their creation is accomplished, they cease to be. The word spoken subjectively in quiet confidence will always awaken the corresponding state in the one whom it was spoken. But the moment it takes— its task is accomplished, it ceases to be. Meeting the one in whom the state is realized Remain in the consciousness of the state affirmed or return to its former state. Whatever state has your attention holds your life. We're gonna read that again. Whatever state has your attention holds your life. Therefore, to become attentive to a former state is to return to that condition. Remember not the former things, neither consider things of old. You can't put old wine in new bottles. So this pretty much saying is whatever has your attention, it has you. When you watch a sad movie, you don't got to try to feel sad. You watching a sad movie, sad. When you watching a horror movie, you don't got to try to feel scared. When you give your attention to a scary movie, when you watch an action movie, Feeling excited is what happens when you give your attention to an action movie. When you give your attention to that thing you've been thinking about that happened when you were 8 years old— you 30 now, but it's this thing that happened when you was 8 years old and your dad didn't do this and your mom should have did this— when you give your attention to that thing, it's going to have an effect. And it's not the thing making you feel that way, it's what you putting your attention on. That's making you feel that way. So you gotta discipline your attention to go to places that excite you, it motivates it, it inspires it. I don't care how many times you watch the Titanic, it's a sad movie. It don't magically become a happy movie because you watched it 50 times. I don't care how deep you understand it and know why they did it and what, what state of mind it was, it's still gonna make you sad. Make you sad because of what it is. Put your attention on the things that inspire you. You want to feel inspired, pay attention to inspirational things. If you want to feel like dirt, pay attention to dirty things. Pay attention to things that suck the life out of you. But quit looking at bad things and expecting to feel good. It don't make no sense. It's illogical. You want me to just put my head in the sand? Yeah, long enough to feel better. You want me to just act like it didn't happen? You gotta act like it didn't happen. Just shit, quit thinking about something else. As dope as the mind is, it can really only entertain one thought at a time consciously. You can only hold 5 to 7 concepts at a time. And with all this social media and stuff, most people can't even juggle the 5 to 7. Most people down to about 3. It's getting easier and easier to hypnotize people because focus is getting shorter and shorter. You can't hypnotize me. Okay, all right. Nothing can be added to a man, for the whole of creation is already perfected. Uh-oh, what? Let's read that again. Nothing can be added to a man, for the whole of creation is already in him. The kingdom of heaven is within you. Man can receive nothing except what be given him from heaven. Heaven is your subconsciousness. Not even a sunburn is given from without. The rays without only awaken corresponding rays within. I love me some Neville Goddard, man. This man been teaching. Were the burning rays not contained within the man, all the concentrated rays in the universe cannot burn him. We are the tones of health not contained within the consciousness of the one whom they are affirmed. They cannot be vibrated by the word which is said. You do not really give to another, you resurrect that which you asleep within, which is asleep within. The damsel is not dead but sleep. Death is merely a sleeping and forgetting. Age and decay are the sleep, not death, of youth and health. Recognition of a state vibrates or awakens. They say it takes one to know one. Distance, as it is cognized by your objective senses, does not exist for the subjective mind. If I take the wing— the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost part of the sea, Even there shall my hand lead me. Time and space are conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them and move in a psychological time and space. Although physically separated from a place by thousands of miles, you can mentally live in the distant places though it were here. Your imagination can easily transform winter into summer, New York into Florida, and so on. Whether the object of your desire be near or far, Results would be the same. Subjectively, the object of your desires never far off. Its intense nearness makes it remote observation of the senses. It dwells in consciousness, and consciousness is closer than breathing and nearer than hands and feet. Man, I love this book. Consciousness is the one and only reality. This is a theme that comes up over and over again in Neville's writings. Consciousness is the The one and only reality, not figuratively but actually. Nothing exists until you become conscious of it. All phenomena are formed of the same substance vibrating at different rates. Out of consciousness I as man came, and to consciousness I as man return. In consciousness all things exist subjectively and are awakened to their objective Existence by belief. The only thing that prevents us from making a successful subjective impression on one at a great distance, or transforming there into here, is our habit of regarding space as an obstacle. A friend 1,000 miles away is rooted in your consciousness through your fixed ideas of him. To think of him and represent him to yourself inwardly in the state you desire him to be, confident that this subjective image As true as if it were already objectified, awakens in him a corresponding state which he must objectify. The results will be as obvious as the cause was hidden. The subject will express the awakened state within him and remain unaware of the true cause of this action. Your illusion of free will is but ignorance of the cause which makes you act. Prayers depend upon your attitude Their success and not upon the attitude. The subject has no power to resist your controlled subjective ideas in him unless the state affirmed by you be true of him, is a state he is incapable of wishing as true of another. In that case, it returns to you, the sender, and will realize itself in you. It's gonna take hold on somebody, provided the idea is acceptable. Success depends entirely on the operator. Not upon the subject, like compass needles on their pivots, are quite indifferent as to what direction you choose to give it. If your fixed idea is not subjectively accepted by the one toward whom it is directed, it rebounds to you from whom it came. So if you call me stupid, and I know I'm— I know I'm smart, that thought gotta go somewhere. That seed has been buried somewhere. If I don't receive it, guess who it's coming back to? You call me ugly. I know. I saw it. I seen. I seen it. I was there when I was there. I saw it. I know I look good. I feel like I look good. I think I look good. I know I look good every level. Guess who that suggestion got to come back to? Got to come back to you. Watch your mouth, especially when you talking to people who not finna receive that suggestion. Watch your mouth. Who is he that will harm you if ye be followers of that which is good? I have been young and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor this seed. There shall, there shall no evil happen to the just. Nothing befalls us that is not of the nature of ourselves. A person who directs wishes out will be injured by its rebound. If he fails to get subconscious acceptance of the other, as ye sow, so shall ye reap. Furthermore, what you can wish and believe of another can be wished and believed of you, and you have no power to reject it if the ones who desire it for you accept it as true. The only power to reject a subjective word is to be incapable of wishing the simplest truth to it. To give presupposes the ability to receive. I like that. To give presupposes the ability to receive. The possibility to impress an idea upon another mind presupposes the ability of that mind to receive that impression. Fools exploit the world, the wise transfigure it. It is the highest wisdom to know that in the living universe there is no destiny other than that created out of imagination of man. There is no influence outside of the mind of man. Whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are good, report. If there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Never accept as true of another what you would not want to be true of yourself. Never accept from another what you would not like to be true about yourself. People probably thinking I'm crazy when they first start working with me. They be in my office and they crying and all over the place about how their life is shit, never worked out, and it's just one thing after another and they can't do this no more. Like, okay, you ready to feel better? You ready to put that down so you can pick this up? And they probably like, he don't even care about Yeah, it's not that I don't care about you. I know that crying with you, in agreement with you on that circumstance, is not what you need. You don't need to jump in the quicksand with you. You get out of the quicksand. You don't need a pity party. You need motivation. You need inspiration. You need a reminder who you really are, of whose you really are, because you forgot who image you was with. You forgot the power of words. You've got the power of your thoughts. You don't need me to jump in that quicksand with you. You need me to stand firm on these things that I know and help you remember who the fuck you are. Help you remember you could be doing, have anything that you desire. Take you back to that mindset of a one-year-old who saw other people. It's like, I want to do that. Who saw other people talking? It was like, I want to do that. You failed a thousand times, but you kept Up and trying to pull a bowlegged self. You need somebody who can remind that person. You don't need people on the phone. He did what? Oh girl, I feel all y'all finna do is be sad together, and they finna hang out in that vibration to go make a similar situation in their own life. You don't need a pity party. You need motivation. You need inspiration. You need reminding. You need somebody to shake you and say, wake up, it's a dream, it's just a dream, wake up. Then you go, oh, it's just a dream, it's just a dream, okay. Let's keep pushing. To awaken a state in another, it must first be awake within you. You would transmit to another, can only be transmitted if it is believed in you. Therefore, to give, you receive. You cannot give what you do not have, and you have what you believe. So to believe a state is true of another not only awakens that state within the other, but it makes it alive within you. You are what you believe. So I can't see you as broken. I got— I gotta be broken. Broken is unfamiliar to me. I see you the way God made you. I see you as healthy. Whole and abundant. And it's so clear to me that I can't even wrap my mind around the story you telling me, because it's just— the devil is a lie, as my grandma would say. The devil is a lie, and the truth— the truth will set you free. What scriptures say? The truth will set you free. The truth is that you got everything you need. The truth is you have not because you ask not. Start asking, and you ask with your imagination. You ask with your faith. You don't ask with your mouth. Ask with your belief. Ask with your belief. Ask with your knowing. Okay? You cannot give what you do not have, and you have only that which you believe. So to believe. State is true of another, not only awakens that state within the other, but it makes it alive within you. You are what you believe. Give and ye shall receive full measure, pressed down and running over. Giving is simply believing. For what you truly believe of others, you will awaken within them. The vibratory state transmitted by your beliefs persists until it awakens its corresponding vibration in him of whom it is believed. But before it can be transmitted, it must first be awake within the transmitter. Whatever is awake within your consciousness, you are. Whether the belief pertains to self or another does not matter, but a believer is defined by the sum total of his beliefs or subconscious assumptions. As a man thinketh in his heart, in the deep of his subconscious of himself, so is he. Disregard appearances and subjectively affirm as true that which you wish to be true. Forget about what it looked like, forget about what it sounds like. We got to go beyond the 5 senses. We got to go above what we can taste, touch, feel, hear, and see. What's up, um, YouTube? No, not YouTube, Instagram. Hey, the Instagram comments and stuff be delayed. Y'all gotta come on and kick it with us on YouTube so y'all won't feel like I'm ignoring y'all because I'm not ignoring y'all, but Instagram be behind. Come kick it on YouTube. Make sure you hit the subscribe button while you're over here with us on YouTube. Go on YouTube, type in Big Abundant, this handsome face gonna show up. Click on that, come kick it with us over here on YouTube. Oh yeah, as a man thinketh in his heart, in the deep of his consciousness, so is he. You gotta disregard appearances and subjectively affirm as true that which you wish to be true. If you ever been in a hypnosis session with me, that's what we doing. I'm wrapping it in all these metaphors, and I might make your hand lift up or glue your eyes shut. I do all of that stuff to give the conscious mind something to do. And while the conscious mind going, how the hell did you do that? I go, you are confident, you do it happily, and desire— you feel amazing. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, I want you to just blow out everything you no longer Serves you, and I want you to take another deep breath in. And on that deep breath in, I just want you to imagine that you inhaling confidence. All I'm doing is getting your conscious mind so wrapped up in my voice, music, and all this other. I'm distracting the conscious mind so I can talk to that part of you that believe whatever you tell because the conscious mind gonna reject. That's not true because of this, and I tried that and it didn't work. And yada yada yada. Conscious mind is what's keeping you stuck. We hypnotize you, we get the conscious mind distracted. And when the conscious mind is good and distracted, pour the positive suggestions in, and the conscious mind can't reject it. By the time the conscious mind come on, it's already in there. That's all we doing. We disregarding appearances so we can subjectively affirm it's true that we wish to be true. And this awakens in you the tone of the state affirmed which in turn realizes itself in you and the one of whom it is affirmed. Give and ye shall receive. Beliefs invariably awaken what they affirm. The world is a mirror wherein everyone sees themselves reflected. The objective world reflects the beliefs of the subjective mind. Some people are self-impressed by visual images, others by mental sounds, and still others by mental actions. The form of mental activity which allows the whole power of your attention to be focused on anyone choosing. Direction is the one— direction is the one to cultivate until you can bring all to play on your objective at the same time. So all of this saying, some people go, I can't visualize. Okay, well, if you can't visualize, you probably good at feeling. If you can't feel, you probably what we call auditory. Like on TV, they make it like when people Close their eyes, they all just vividly— like, they're imagining they at the beach. They gonna really see the water and see the sand and see the birds and hear the children. Some people can't do that. A lot of people can't. Don't think you can't use visualization just because you're not one of those people who can close your eyes and create a scene. What can you do? Are you really good at feeling like you at the beach? Can you imagine what it would feel like if you felt the sun hitting your face? Could you imagine the feeling of your feet being in the sand? If that don't work for you, could you imagine the sound of the water? Can you hear the water in the background? If that don't work for you, can you see the water in the distance? You got 5 senses. Which one work for you? If you like to eat a lot, you olfactory. No, that's smell. Gustatory is taste. Then you gustatory. Okay, what you eat at the beach? Do you get on an ice cream cone? Remember what the ice cream tastes Like, stop getting distracted by the fact that you can't visualize. When most people say visualize, what they really mean is imagine, and everybody imagines different. That's one of the things that hypnotists do. A hypnotist talk to somebody, they really sizing them up to see which primary sense they operate out of. If you saying things like, I can't see that happening, I don't see that working on me, you visual. You're saying, man, that sounds crazy to me. That sounds That sound out of this world. Your auditory, talking about the sound of it. You say, I'm not gonna let you handle me like that. You ain't gonna have that kind of control over me. You ain't gonna weigh me down. You talking about how it feels. You talking about the weight of it. You, you, um, but as you practice this stuff, you're gonna find out how you imagine. Once you find out how you imagine, you can use that down on the strength in your faith, bro. We're gonna have a whole little workshop, man. We, we getting in here. What's going on, Asha? Come up on YouTube with us. Okay, so let's go. Should you have difficulty in understanding the terms visual images, mental sounds, and mental actions, here's an illustration which should make their meanings clear. Hey, imagine Imagine he sees a piece of music knowing nothing at all about music notations. The impression in his mind is purely visual image. Imagine he sees the same piece, but he can read music and can imagine how it would sound when played on the piano. Imagination is mental sound. Also reads music and is a pianist. As he reads, he imagines himself playing the piece. The imaginary action Mental action. So it just gave an example of all these different types of imagination, the same scenario. One just imagined the music on paper as notes. One imagined hearing the music. One imagined playing the music. But they all were imagining music. Visual images, mental sounds, and mental actions are creations of your imagination, and though they appear to come from without, they actually come from within yourself. They move as if moved by another, but are really linked by your own spirit, magical storehouse of imagination. They are projected into space by the same vibratory law that governs the seeing of the voice or picture. Speech and images are projected not as speech or images, but as vibratory correlates. Subjective mind vibrates according to the modifications it undergoes by thought and feeling of the operator. The visible state created is the effect of these subjective vibrations. Feeling is always accompanied by a corresponding vibration that is a change in expression or sensation in the operator. There is no thought or feeling without expression. What's going on? There is no thought or feeling without expression. Every— anything that you feel, you're going to express. Everything that you think, you gonna express. So really turning things around is done in the process of changing your thinking, changing your feeling. Straight to the head, you know, that's the only way I give it. That's the only way. So there is no thought or feeling without expression. No matter how emotionless you appear to be, if you reflect with any degree of intensity, there is Always an execution of slight muscular movement. People go, when I look at their handwriting, how can you look at my handwriting and know all that? Because as you writing, you thinking and feeling as you write. And as you think and feel, as you think certain thoughts, you grip that pen a different way. And as you think other thoughts, you loosen up on the pen. When you think about something that really gets you excited, you tend to press down harder. When you open-minded, you tend to open those letters up. When you know like you know like you know, you tend to constrict those letters. Oh, I— the reason we can look at handwriting and analyze— why y'all ain't tell me my hair was crazy? I'm all balled up over here. But anyway, the more that we understand this, the more we look at that writing, we understand it. As you write, you're thinking, as you're talking, you're making it feel— fellas, yo, yo, your woman ever walked in the house and you know she upset, you know what's wrong with you? She go, nothing, I'm fine. Like, fine my ass. Because as she's saying, as she's saying, I'm fine, she's thinking and feeling that thing that she's not fine about. And you— the voice not gonna mask the energy that come with the— I'm fine. That's not— that's not fine energy. You're not fine. But you always thinking and feeling, and the things you thinking and feeling are going to be expressed in your world. They're going to be expressed in your world. The eye, though shut, follows the movements of the imaginary objects, and the pupil is dilated or contracted according to the brightness or the remoteness of those objects. Respiration is accelerated or slowed according to the course of your thoughts. The muscles contract correspondingly to your mental movements. This change of vibration persists until it awakens a corresponding vibration in the subject. Which vibration then expresses itself in a physical effect, and the word was made flesh. Oh man. Energy, as you see in the case of radio, is transmitted and received in a field, a place where changes in space occur. The field and energy are one and inseparable. The field or subject becomes the embodiment of the words or energy received. The thinker and the thought The operator and the subject, the energy in the field, are one. I am my father. Man, y'all better quit playing. We're gonna read that again. The thinker and the thought, the operator and the subject, the energy in the field are one. Were you still enough to hear the sound of your beliefs, you would know what is meant by the music of the spheres. The mental sound you hear in prayer is coming from without is really produced by yourself. Oh, you thought God was an old white man sitting in the clouds waiting on you to die before he was gonna rock with you? Didn't— better come out of that. The mental sound you hear in prayer is coming from without, is really produced by yourself. Self-observation will reveal this fact. As the music of the spirits, defined as the harmony heard by the gods alone, it's supposed to be produced by the movements of the celestial spheres So too is the harmony you subjectively hear from others, heard by you alone, is produced by the movements of your thoughts and feelings in the true kingdom or heaven within you. That's why they say if a tree fall and nobody hears it, did it make a sound? No, it doesn't. It's not considered a sound until a human eardrum breaks it down and turns the vibration into sound. Before anybody's ever translated, it's purely vibration. And once it strikes the eardrum, it needs a mind before it can become sound. It can't become sound without a mind to translate the vibration. It's just nobody is around to hear it. It's, it's just vibration. It's just in the air vibrating. Then when it strikes the eardrum and a mind is on the other side of that eardrum to translate the vibration, now it's sound. So it's just an act. It's just a wish. So you lock down on the fact that it's really possible, it really can be done, until you manifest and make it obvious to the mind it's just a thought. But the minute that thought penetrates the mind and gets the mind involved in the thought, now it's real. All right, we rocking, man. We rocking, we rocking, we rocking. So where were we at? So were you still enough to hear the sound of your beliefs? Know what is meant by the music of the spirits. We read all that. So chapter 6, Good Tidings. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation. A very effective way to bring good tidings to another is to call before your mind's eye the subjective image of the person you wish to help and have him affirm that which you desire. Let me read that again. A very effective way to bring the tidings to another is to call before your mind's eye the subjective image of the person you wish to help and have him affirm that which you desire him to do. Mentally hear him tell you he has done. This awakens within him the vibratory correlate of the same, which vibration persists until its mission is accomplished. It does not matter what it is you desire to have done or whom you select to do it. As soon as you subjectively affirm that it is done, results follow. Failure can result only if you fail to accept the truth of your assertion, or the state affirmed would not be desired by the subject for himself or another. The only way it's not gonna work— they can't see it for theyself under no circumstances. It ain't gonna work. Or if they can only see it for theyself but could never see it for another, it's not gonna work. In the latter event, the state will realize itself in you, the operator. Now, they can't receive it, it's gonna come back to you. So be careful what you sending out, because if the person can't receive it, it's gonna come back to you. That's why I don't never mind expecting, uh, speaking abundance and health and wealth and prosperity over people. Because if you too small-minded to receive it and you gonna get you back, guess who's coming to? And I'll take it. I'll take it. I hope you take it, but if you don't, I'll take it. The seemingly harmless habit of talking to yourself is the most fruitful form of prayer. What you say, bigger? Oh, I'm glad you asked. I said the seamless, harmless habit of talking to yourself is the most fruitful Talking form of prayer. to yourself is the most fruitful form of prayer. A mental argument with the subjective image of another is the surest way to pray for an argument. You ever mentally had an argument with somebody as you on the way to them and know they on the way to you and you already getting your lines ready so you can know how to handle that ass and you already know what you gonna say? You go in there, lo and behold, They show they was ready just like you was ready. You are asking to be offended by the other when you objectively meet, so you subjectively ask for an objective argument. He is compelled to act in a manner displeasing to you unless before the meeting you countermand or modify your order by subjectively affirming the change. It's gonna be done on earth as it is in heaven. Kingdom of heaven is within you. So you start an argument in heaven, that, that argument is going to be objective. You store peace in heaven, that peace is going to be objectified. So what are you creating in heaven? I know y'all argued the last 15 times y'all seen each other, but this 16th time different. If and only if you willing to go in heavy and change. All right. Unfortunately, a man forgets his subjective arguments, his daily mental conversations with others, and so is at loss for an explanation of the conflicts and misfortunes of his life. As mental arguments produce conflicts, so happy mental conversations Produce corresponding visible states of the times. Man creates himself out of his own imagination. Make him in who image? Oh man, y'all better quit playing. I better quit playing. Let me make man and make them how and whose image? Man creates himself out of his own imagination. Yo, this character, uh, this character became a full-blown man. This, this character that we refer to as Big Abundant, a dude named Jeremy Shaw created Big Abundant in his imagination. And Jeremy Shaw imagined Big Abundant so long and saw Big Abundant so vividly and so clearly that Jay Shaw Became Beyoncé, became Sasha Fierce. Quit playing with me. Will Smith became the Fresh Prince. Can y'all see it? Can y'all see it? Look through the scripture. How many times did God change people's names? Abram became Abraham. Like, oh, y'all better quit playing with this stuff, man. But in order to become Big Abundant, I had to be born again. Jeremy Shaw was not Abundant. Jeremy Shaw had to be crucified so that we could resurrect Big Abundant. Like, y'all better quit playing with this stuff, man. Y'all better quit playing with this stuff. One day I was streaming and a dude came in the stream that knew Jeremy Shaw. He met Big Abundant for the first time. He was confused as he say, Yeah, same body, different mindset. It's a different operator operating the show. This operator is confident. This operator is charismatic. This operator is wise. This operator is abundant. This operator thinks always look out for him. He can't win. He can't lose for winning. The old concept itself couldn't lose for winning, but this concept. I always win. I changed the concept of self. You got to change yourself. You got to quit looking in the mirror, seeing the smudge on your face, and trying to wipe it off the mirror. Wiping it off the mirror ain't gonna do no good. You got to wipe it off of you. You trying to change the mirror. The mirror not what's broken. Let's get back into this book. If the state desired is for yourself and you find it difficult to accept as true what your senses deny, call before your, your mind's eye the subjective image of a friend and have him mentally affirm that you are already that which you desire to be. That's why we're starting the Big Abundance Mastermind, because we're going to get a group of people Who gonna put their minds together and help each other see these things already done? So if I can't see it for me, I'm gonna go in my imagination, have you see it for me. I'm imagining Oscar telling it to him. I'm imagining Soul telling it to him. I'm imagining my mama and them being proud of me, my grandma and them being proud of me. In hypnosis, we call that dissociation. Association. We're gonna disassociate you from the situation. A lot of times when you're too close to it, the senses won't shut up. The things you could see, touch, taste— I can't even talk. The things you can see, taste, touch, feel, and see— I said twice. Oh well, you're so close to them. A lot of times the hypnosis will disassociate you from the situation. Call it a 6-step reframe. We'll have you imagine sitting in a theater and then imagine you, another version of you, sitting down Sitting up in the projector room, and the version of you in the projector room can look down and see the version of you sitting in the theater. That version, you can see the version of you looking at the screen, watching the version of the thing that you can't stand to see. So we just reframed you from— I mean, we just separated you from this situation. Now that we separated you, we got your hands off of— you ever heard people say let go and let God? That's what it means. That's how we let go and let God. We got So God can change. God isn't gonna pry nothing out of you and change it. God gave you dominion over the world. He gave me dominion. He not gonna pry world out of your hand and change it. Look up the word dominion, find out what it mean. I'm waiting on God. I don't know if you waiting on him before he gave you— he gave you dominion. He left you the law and how to change it. All right. If the fake desire is for yourself and you find it difficult to accept as true what your senses deny, call before your mind's eye the subjective image of a friend and have him mentally affirm that you are already there. This establishes in him, without his conscious consent or knowledge, the subconscious assumption that you are that which he mentally affirmed, which assumption Because it is unconsciously assumed, it persists until it fulfills its mission. Its mission is to awaken in you its vibratory, vibratory quality, which vibration, when awakened in you, realizes itself as an objective fact. Another very effective way to pray for oneself is to use the formula of Job, who found that his own captivity was removed as he prayed for his friends. Another very effective way to pray for oneself is to use the formula of Job, who found his own captivity was removed as he prayed for his friends. Fix your attention on a friend and have the imaginary voice of your friend tell you that he is, has that which is comparable to that which you desire to be or have. As you mentally hear and see him, feel the thrill of his And sincerely wish him well. This awakens in him the corresponding vibration of that state affirmed, which vibration objectifies itself as a physical fact. You will discover the truth of the statement, blessed are the merciful, they shall receive mercy. The quality of the mercy is twice blessed. It blesses him who taketh and him who giveth. The good you subjectively accept as true of others will not only be expressed But a full share will be realized to you. People who in the, in this health industry, in this field, you couldn't be in a better field. Don't let nobody tell you that this ain't the field to be in. Through giving peace to others, you giving yourself a double dose of peace, helping others find their way to their abundance. Giving yourself a double dose of abundance, even if you're doing it for free on the front end. A lot of times in this business, when you first start out, you might not start out with a big amount of money. Even if you're giving away for free, the things that you give and the teachers that you're doing, because the reminding— because that's really what we do. We're not teaching nobody nothing. We're reminding people who they really are. This whole time, I ain't told you nothing you don't already know. That's why it feels so good, because it's simply reminding you. It's not teaching you. You ever been trying to remember somebody Name, and you know they name, you just can't recall it in this moment. Then a day or so later, you in the shower, you walking around outside, and the name just pop in your mind. Then you just like, Jasmine, that was her name, Jasmine. You know, that's, that's that same feeling here when we talking about this stuff. That's the feeling of remembering. That's not the feeling of learning. Learning over the day. That's the feeling of remembering. Oh yeah, I used to know that as a I forgot about— I knew that everything we didn't talk about in here, you didn't learn, you, you remembered. That's why it feels so good. That's what clarity is. It's really remembering. Oh yeah, I am created in the image of God, bro. Prodigal son, you better go home. All right, let's keep going. Where were we? The good you subjectively accept true as others will not only be expressed by them, but a full share will be realized by you. Transformations are never total. Force A is always transformed into more force B. The blow of the hammer produces not only a mechanical concussion, but also heat, electricity, sound, magnetic change and so on. So you thought you just helped that person with their relationship. You don't even realize all the other effects you just had. You thought you just took that person through that night and got them through that once. You don't even realize you can even consciously wrap your mind around the vibratory correlate in the subject, not the entire transformation of the sentiment communicated. The gift transmitted, transmitted to another It's like the divine measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, so that after 5,000 are fed the 5 loaves and 2 fish, 12 baskets full are left over. All right, oh, we're gonna wrap this up. All right, y'all, we got one more little short chapter, then we're gonna land this plane. Let me see what time it is. I'll be getting on here and completely losing track of time. Okay, y'all ready to land this plane? We're gonna end this on a real good note. Let's check on Instagram. What's up, Instagram? How y'all doing, man? We over here on YouTube if y'all want to kick it with us. My boy, peace. God, what's up, Miss Bellamy? Yeah, y'all come kick it with us on YouTube, man. Don't be late to the Instagram comments and stuff. All right, let's go. Imagination is the beginning of creation. I need two people to put that in the comments because I need this to resonate. Imagination is the beginning of creation. In the earth, the earth was black. In the beginning, the earth was black void and without form. Close your eyes and tell me what you see when you pray. What you do? When you get hypnotized, what you do? When you meditate, what you do? When you lay down to go to sleep, what you do? Imagination is the beginning of all creation. You imagine what you desire, then you believe it to be true. Every dream could be realized by those self-disciplined enough To believe it. Every dream could be realized by those self-disciplined enough to believe it. People are what you choose to make them. A man is according to the manner in which you look at him. You must look at him with different eyes before he will objectively change. You must look at him with different eyes before you will change. You want your child's behavior to change? You can't give the lecture and look at him through those same eyes. You gotta change the eyes you're looking at them with, Ralph. I gotta see— I gotta see Ralph different. I got— I gotta see him different. Oh, 2 men looking at the prison bars. One saw the mud and the other saw the star. Centuries ago, Isaiah asked the question, who was blind but my servant, or deaf as my messenger that I sent? Who is blind as he, as he that is perfect? Blind as the Lord's servant. The perfect man judges not after appearances but judges right. He sees others as he desires them to be. He hears only what he wants to hear. He sees only good in others. In him is no condemnation, for he transformed the world with his King inherent. Who's the first disciple that Jesus called to order? Okay, we ain't gonna open that door. I'm getting off this. The King that sitteth on the throne Scattered the evil with his eye. Sympathy for living things, agreement with human limitations, is not the consciousness of the human because he has learned to separate their false concepts from their true being. Gotta stop having pity parties with— even if you do have a pity party, pity party can't be the end of the conversation. To him, poverty is but sleep of wealth. Let's read that again. I want everybody to grasp that. To him, poverty is but sleep of wealth. You better wake your wealth up. Wealth, it's time to wake up. Poverty is but sleep of wealth. Sickness is but sleep of health. Man, y'all better quit. He does not see caterpillars but painted butterflies to be. Not winter but summer sleeping, bro. Neville Goddard don't miss. Not man in want but Jesus sleeping. Jesus of Nazareth, who scattered the evil with his eye, is asleep in the imagination of every man, and out of his own imagination must man awaken him by subjectively affirming I am Jesus. Then only then will he— Jesus— will he see Jesus. But man can only see what is awake within himself. The holy womb is man's imagination. The holy child is that conception of himself which fits Isaiah's definition of perfection. Heed the words of Saint Augustine: Too late have I loved thee, for behold, thou wert within, and it was without that I did seek thee. It is your own consciousness that you must turn to as the one and only reality. There and there alone you awake that which is asleep. Though Christ is a thousand times in Bethlehem be born, if he's not born of thee, thy soul is still forlorn. Creation is finished. That's amazing. Exclamation point right there. Don't worry, I got you. I'm gonna put it right. You call your creation into being by feeling the reality of the state you would call. A mood attracts its affinities, but it does not create what it attracts. As sleep is called by feeling, I am sleep. So too is Jesus Christ called by feeling. I am Jesus Christ. I am happy. I am sad. I am mad. I'm this, I'm that. Think about how many times we use I am in a day. Man sees only himself. Nothing befalls man that is not the nature of himself. People emerge out of the mass betraying their close affinity to your moves as they are in general. You meet them seemingly by accident but find they are intimates of your moves. Because your moves continually externalize themselves, you can prophesy from your moods that you, without search, would soon meet certain characters and encounter certain conditions. Therefore, call the perfect one into being by living in the feeling I am Christ, for Christ is the one concept of self through which can be seen the unveiled realities of eternity. Our behavior is influenced by our subconscious assumptions respecting our own social and intellectual rank and That of the one we are addressing. Let us seek for any greatest rank, and the noblest of all is that which disrobes man of his mortality and clothes him with uncurbed immortal glory. Let us assume the feeling, I am Christ, and our whole behavior will subtly and unconsciously change in accordance with this assumption. Our subconscious assumptions continually externalize themselves that others may consciously See us as we subconsciously see ourselves. See ourselves and tell us by their action what we have subconsciously assumed of ourselves to be. Therefore, let us assume the feeling, I am Christ, into our conscious plane, become our conscious assumption, that we all with open face beholding as in a glass of the glory of the Lord are changed into the same image from glory to glory. Let God awake and his enemies be destroyed. There is no greater prayer of man. Bro, I'm finished, man. This is it, bro. Look, I'm, um,
