THE INVISIBLE MAN

We do it too often.

We go through life finding ourselves looking for help on the outside.

When we look for help on the outside we are looking for a second cause of our lives?

So what are second causes?

SECOND CAUSES

It is where you believe that anything other than you is responsible for your life and is the cause of what has been created thus far in it.

We tend to learn to believe something on the outside is to blame or is at cause for our challenges or circumstances. How could we be responsible for everything that has transpired in our lives? We didn’t consciously choose that failure or that random act of violence did we?  

It is where you could believe that – possibly a God outside of yourself is punishing you or testing you or giving you what you desire based on your deserve-ability or worthiness or something you have to earn by doing something to please the outside higher power. It could be that you feel that you are the victim of circumstance or conditions. Where something causes you to react or create the life you don’t want or like.

Second causes are always easy to use to blame others or other things especially when you grow up not knowing the law or the Law of Attraction principles or ideas.

STRICT religious BACKGROUND

As I grew up in a very strict religious background I found myself believing that God was testing me with every temptation and I was totally unworthy of the goodness I was taunted with. A good life, a good home. a good wife. a good bank account, good friends, etc. etc.. If I didn’t get them it sure that it was my fault because I wasn’t worthy or sinned in someway for Heavenly Father etc etc.

I was taught that God was letting "Satan" tempt me everyday in every way. That he had millions of invisible followers that were energetically shouting at me to commit “sin”.  All my power seemed to be coming from God.  My power and the causes of my life was on the outside of me according to the experts I grew up listening to – who of course had my best interest at heart, right? Right?

I believed that I was not strong because I was taught that I was not strong. Especially not strong enough to pass temptation after temptation without someone else’s help on the outside of me spoon feeding me the power to do so. The church I grew up said it was “Christ Jesus” who I had to rely on. But then I was told that I couldn’t pray to him specifically because I had to go through the Father. I thought this was weird when I heard it.

BRAIN WASHING BY AUTHORITY FIGURES IS NORMAL

Little did I know the brain washing I was taught was that I was weak and needed other people who were in superior positions to me. They taught I needed authority figures in my life. Which were the authority figures in my life. When authority figures sells you on their authority as legitimate you have to wonder why they are screaming so loudly about respecting them and listening to them. Obviously you have a need for parents or someone like them to take care of your person as you are a baby since you can’t physically take care of yourself.
                          

I found as I got older I was waiting to ask permission to live my own life.  I needed God, the parents and the church leadership to make me less of a sinner. Practical waiting for permission to breathe it felt like.

Supposedly from what I learned as a young person all real power resided with others. Or so I was educated.  The power never was in me. The power to be saved or redeemed I was taught was in my doing a good job of begging to be saved, helped, or to be worthy to have the desires of my heart. And who was teaching me these things? Church leadership and family, friends, teachers etc.. Did I agree with them? Just as long as there wasn’t anything else to contradict the info in my experience – I didn’t know any different. Have you been there too?

Now if you have gone down this same path or close to it you came to find those beliefs were just plain ole’ HOGWASH!  Some, might call it “off the mark” or “a sin” or what I would call F. B.S.

F.B.S, equals False Belief Systems.

I was caught in a system that I was taught those beliefs that said I was a sinner from birth or in my case after 8 years old. Now it was a great system to grow up to….escape….so that I had some scriptural knowledge of the bible so when I happen upon Neville years later I would get many of his ideas I was exposed to quicker than if I hadn’t been exposed to the Bible.

TEMPTATIONS ONLY EXIST IN YOUR MIND

Now as I believed in my earlier years “in temptation” I would avoid it and do everything not to have it in my life. Then when temptation came in any area I would fervently pray day after day to escape it. Today I look back and see what I bought into – and it proves to me with hindsight that what Neville and Blake says is really true –

“what seems to be seems to be”.

I believed it in as Neville has spoken about in one of his lectures. I believed certain things were a temptation and felt wrong or evil because I had a desire to partake of them. And still when I didn’t partake I still felt that guilt from considering it or “being tempting.” As this Neville quote will explain to you that when you believe something you actually believe it is that way - because “it seems to be” that way. So I bought energetically into it as the truth because I imagined what I was “being tempted” was true. So it seem to be that is was true – I just had no idea I was creating reality along with it as I imagined it into being!  Have you ever done this?

 Now lets go to Neville’s quote.

From THE LAW OF ASSUMPTION

Radio Lecture #05 - Neville - Station KECA, L.A.    07/1951

See Radio Lecture #5 - will take you away from this page

“We see by this that it is not superior insight but purblindness that reads into the greatness of men some littleness with which it chances to be familiar, for what seems to be, is, to those to whom it seems to be.

Experiments recently conducted at two of our leading universities revealed this great truth about the law of assumption. They stated in their releases to the newspapers, that after two thousand experiments they came to the conclusion that, “What you see when you look at something depends not so much on what is there as on the assumption you make when you look. What you believe to be the real physical world is actually only an assumptive world.” In other words, you would not define your husband in the same way that your mother would. Yet, you are both defining the same person. Your particular relationship to a thing influences your feelings with respect to that thing and makes you see in it an element which is not there. If your feeling in the matter is a self-element; it can be cast out. If it is a permanent distinction in the state considered, it cannot be cast out. The thing to do is to try. If you can change your opinion of another, then what you now believe of him cannot be absolutely true, but relatively true.

Men believe in the reality of the external world because they do not know how to focus and condense their powers to penetrate its thin crust. Strangely enough, it is not difficult to penetrate this view of the senses. To remove the veil of the senses, we do not employ great effort; the objective world vanishes as we turn our attention from it. We have only to concentrate on the state desired to mentally see it; but to give reality to it so that it will become an objective fact, we must focus our attention upon the desired state until it has all the sensory vividness and feeling of reality. When, through concentrated attention, our desire appears to possess the distinctness and feeling of reality; when the form of thought is as vivid as the form of nature, we have given it the right to become a visible fact in our lives. Each man must find the means best suited to his nature to control his attention and concentrate it on the desired state. I find for myself the best state to be one of meditation, a relaxed state akin to sleep, but a state in which I am still consciously in control of my imagination and capable of fixing my attention on a mental object.”

STOP FIXING BLAME - JUST DWELL IN THE SOLUTION

I had this wonderful blog all ready for you and I was doing my final touches and I must hit the wrong button because it all disappeared and I couldn't get it back. So I for about one minute felt that sickening feeling inside and was so upset at myself and the blogger application. Then I thought about what I just wrote and decided I would create my first podcast for you instead. So I took something that was really really upsetting and where I spent hours and hours writing and polishing it up and just gave up the feeling to feel bad about it.

So think about that you can create any meaning out of any situation. Sure I would have preferred you read the blog but it is gone never to be recovered or read. So I recorded my blog and posted it for you here. I covered most of the things from the blog that I could remember. Let me know by e-mailing me if you like the podcast and I will do more of them. Thanks!

DO YOU NOURISH YOUR IMAGINATION?

THE PAST ABUSE OF YOUR IMAGINATION

Many of us ignore the power we have within ourselves. We ignore the power behind choosing a new choice. We ignore the power of ideas. We ignore that fact that using our imagination is something so marvelous it changes our lives. Ignoring isn't just what we do. We forget to use our imaginations because we have entertainment instead. We abuse our imaginations because we tend to use it for entertainment purposes only. Watch a TV show or a movie is helping you get new ideas into your head BUT; The abuse happens because we are passive about it. We don't think. Meaning we have visual images going through our mind but we don't think about them or even change them in our imaginations consciously. We rarely stretch our mind enough with a new idea to play with it internally.

If we had a child that we ignored mostly day in and day out we'd be brought up on charges of emotional neglect, child abuse,  wouldn't we? Even if we didn't know any better. Ignorance is no excuse under the law. Our imagination needs more than just some activity going through its halls.

Your imagination wants to be played with. To be probed. To be alive with more than impressions from the outside world of what is. It wants to be come live within you with new worlds. It wants to contribute to you. It wants to become your warrior of purpose and passion. It may not tell you that because it has no tongue and even though it doesn't have a tongue it has this capabilities you can tap into easily.   

AVATAR

This movie represents almost a lifetime of thinking about a certain subject by James Cameron. At this time the Avatar the movie is the biggest grossing movie ever beating out his last blockbuster Titanic by almost 1 billion dollars. Now I personal have seen it 3 times total on the 3D Screen (2 times of those was also in 3D and on an IMAX screen). James created this world with stunning results. Invented a new way to do 3D and brought the colors out amazingly so in a theater experience you may not have had ever previously. He added value to us with his vision, his story, his ability to invent new ways to let us see a new world. The story had combined elements from other stories and it created a compelling new never before seen story and movie.  That is using his imagination.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO NOURISH YOUR IMAGINATION LATELY?

Your imagination is your servant. It does your bidding. If you have a servant but never instruct them to clean, cook, or drive for you it is the same as not having a servant. How have you used your imagination lately? Have you just watched and read something to be entertained or have you created something new out of those ideas? Have you found a better ideal to live in? Have you imagined a life without the safety net of not knowing exactly what it would be like? Have you given your self some rich intentions to fulfill and went for it - even though you weren't that sure about it? Have you created a new primary aim and through all your imaginations power and then started moving towards having that specific aim?

Have you taken the thing you desire and combined them with other things you desire to create a new vivid picture you can frame within your minds eye? Do you realize that everyday when you see, feel, and hear with only your physical senses you are starving your imagination?

What have you seen, heard, or felt that wasn't there before and then you practiced creating it through faith into your existence? You being a selector and creator of your reality you can take it further than ever before? You have the same capacity as an Einstein, Mozart, or Leonardo da Vinci. The spiritual gifts you develop here on this physical Earth are helping you become more as you become consciously aware that you really can be more and have more. And yet you can assume a state without any spiritual gifts and that state becomes real.

Have you become fascinated with something? Researched every aspect of it? Do you feel curiosity on a regular basis?  Do you learn so you can constantly bring new ideas to expand your life? Do you combined those ideas to make a more efficient home? A more productive business? Happier people around you because you tweaked a new way to live? What big thing have you imagined lately and put it into the play of your life?

WHAT ARE YOU IMAGINING?

So what exactly have you visualized, heard, or felt as true for yourself or someone else lately? A great practice is to let go of your senses at least once a day and create a wonderful scene you'd want to live in your head and act it out within. Take in new magazines you wouldn't normally read. Go play hopscotch after school when the kids are gone or better still take your kids with you if you have any and then play on the swing set. Skip in the rain safely. Play in the snow. Make a snow angel. Get playful and experiment with the life you desire on the inside. Maybe go get tea at the most expensive Hotel in towns dinning room. Take your life to the next level by imagining something you have never imagined before. Go to the biggest toy store in your city and find something that makes you feel like a kid again. Buy it. Play with it for a full afternoon on a weekend. Invite friends.Play dough is fun. Crayons are a hoot too. Draw. Doodle. Ignite your imagination.

Invent something-anything that has never existed-even if it is just in your thoughts. As people are more into and using social networking more they are finding alternative ways to live, generate an income, love, connect, and add value. I watch Alice in Wonderland recently and I loved one lines from it.
     The text is from Through the Looking Glass

  "Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things."

"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

So what six impossible things have you ever imagined as possible? What if you did this like the Queen for one week? Could you find answers you never knew you had? Could you invent a new way of being? Of singing? Of working? Of shopping? Of traveling?  Of generating income?

Practice. What if you believed 1 impossible thing about yourself today? Just take one thing that would be a blast to believe about yourself even though it might be impossible. What would you believe? Suspend the critical part of your brain and just imagine one impossible thing for yourself! What would it be? What if once you found that one impossible thing for you that then you let that thinking loose on your friends, family, neighborhood, state, country, and world. Wouldn't that be fun? What one thing would you like to imagine as possible that you once believed was impossible? Now what if you imagined 6 just today?

I M POSSIBLE

Have you notice the answer lies in the word impossible. It also spells I M possible. Which is the answer to everything that seems impossible. You go to the I on the inside of you and meditate upon it and let the Universe answer because it knows the answer.

Believe that all things are possible to you and that you are what you want to be. Persist in that assumption and it will harden into fact. Having assumed the life you now live, no one can take it from you but yourself! You have the power to lay it down by no longer being conscious of it, and the power to pick it up again through consciousness.

Lecture #114 ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE 11/03/1967

So what if you accomplish one impossible thing a month in your life? Imagine that would drastically change your life? Giving the impossible things a possibility creates the space to have it hatched out of the Universe into your life. As much as you believe that things look as though they comes from the visible they actually come out of the unseen, the invisible, behind the scenes quantum field.

FACE REALITY

Most people will tell you to face reality. From parents, siblings, teachers, friends, and well meaning strangers they want you to be happy with your cards. Be happy with what your lot is in life. Conform. Don't go against the tide! Be like us.

You want to hear a death rattle? Do it like someone else. Conform to their opinion of you.  Don't invent from your view point. Don't add value to the world. Did you notice that when you read this that you almost get defensive. Writing it and reading it puts the sting back into what most people are doing unconsciously.

You are one in zillion! How about if you act like it now if you aren't already? You imagining the best world for yourself. The desires you have are yours alone. No one will express them exactly the same way as you do ever. You are a finger print of God. You have so much to add to all of our worlds just by being here. Just by attempting and possibly succeeding to believe 1 impossible thing today. And yet your much more than any action or doing you do. Your power lies in your creative choices. What you decide to be. What makes you passionate and excited about living your life! If you were a painter and had a blank canvas what would you paint in your life today?

YOU'RE BORN TO CREATE YOUR REALITY

You are an unique finger print of God. What can you do with you? What can you be that is to be revealed to you? Do you have an inkling?  Do you feel the stirrings within that begin to hatch into that incredible master of your destiny that you are? Each day of your life you choose to be something. You choose to do something. You choose to feel something. Each day you exercise a choice you create your next new reality. Each time you choose this way instead of that way you move toward a different reality. Each time you make a choice you shape the path of your reality towards another destination. Is it where you want to go? Is towards your hearts desire? If it is not then it's just another choice. Its easy to know where to go you just feel it and your insides tell you which way to go. No magic involved just your inner guidance system providing you with maps of desires to head towards. You are a creative being that believes thing into existence. Just feel it as true. Know it as true.

The most creative thing in us is to believe a thing into objective existence. Can you believe that something is already objective to you, even though your mortal eyes cannot see it? Can you walk, drenched in the feeling that it is an objective fact, until it becomes so?

Neville Lecture 116 THE ARTIST IS GOD 05/19/1969

These next few days start to notice when you nourish your imagination. Begin to find the ways to think a new reality into existence for yourself. You are a spiritual being having a human - physical experience. Your power doesn't lie within your physical world it lies within. The outside life is but a shadow of what you continue to imagine as true for you and your world. A reflection of your past history if you will. Dare yourself to change it and challenge your comfort zones so you can ultimately have more and more of what you want. It is in your very capable hands. Just begin with a small thing that you desire and move it up further and further so the bigger things are included in your imaginings! It will be fantastic to hear your stories. Let me know here if your willing to share. Thanks!

Your Best Weapon - Your Own Trojan Horse

THE PAST
The past is yet a memory. As you look back on the past and see your progress - what do you think about it? Do you think that your past has anything to do with your future? Do you think that your past defines what your future will be like?

Many people rely so heavily on the road they have taken whether it be one that is well wore or not. The path chooser has completely forget that they choose the road. Right now if you looked back on your past would change something? What if you could go back and advise yourself to take a completely different path. Would you? How about now. If your future self could come back and advise you to choose a better choice now would you listen to you? What would you have to say to yourself so you would believe that what you had to say was important to change the direction of your life course right now? Would you have to persuade? Would you have to tell of the consequences of up coming choices in this pivotal time-line? What would you do to convince yourself that you in the future was right about the present?

Time travel is happening everyday... in the unlikest places. Every day we time travel in some way to our past in the deep of your mind. We travel to the past and relive it over and over and over again just like we were there in person. What a tragedy that we forgot our power to travel every part of the time-line as we contemplate yesterdays mistakes and goofs and blunders. Many people rely on being comfortable with their past pain and grief. Its sometimes better than actually having to risk something to have  beautiful future. if you find you are stuck you might need to use the little known technique called your Trojan Horse.


If we study the old story of the Trojan Horse we find that the main idea of it was deception. Here is the story in greater detail.

TROY

"Still seeking to gain entrance into Troy, clever Odysseus (some say with the aid of Athena) ordered a large wooden horse to be built. Its insides were to be hollow so that soldiers could hide within it.

Once the statue had been built by the artist Epeius, a number of the Greek warriors, along with Odysseus, climbed inside. The rest of the Greek fleet sailed away, so as to deceive the Trojans.

One man, Sinon, was left behind. When the Trojans came to marvel at the huge creation, Sinon pretended to be angry with the Greeks, stating that they had deserted him. He assured the Trojans that the wooden horse was safe and would bring luck to the Trojans.

Only two people, Laocoon and Cassandra, spoke out against the horse, but they were ignored. The Trojans celebrated what they thought was their victory, and dragged the wooden horse into Troy.

That night, after most of Troy was asleep or in a drunken stupor, Sinon let the Greek warriors out from the horse, and they slaughtered the Trojans.

TROJAN HORSE
How do you use the Trojan Horse Technique to better your life? Most people think that they have to face reality, they must be realistic, that they must face the facts, and anything that has to do with your five senses.

Your have been using this techique every time you get what you want when it wasn't available before in your life. Its the same technique you used to capture your lovers heart. Each time you expect an outcome you can't for see on the outside as absolute. What do you think it is?

Every person who can imagine has this ability and possibly even masters at it. The TROJAN HORSE is what you did as a kid often. It is pretending something is true. Not unlike viruses or rogue programs that fake your computers anti-virus protector it pretends to be something else. The TROJAN HORSE was a gift or was it just a pretend gift? See using your imagination to pretend scenarios and scenes you'd like to live is no different than fooling the ego or memory from the past.

As you vividly imagine what it feels like to be in love, to driver that luxury car, to broker that $100 million real estate deal - it is using the TROJAN HORSE. Your pretending something is true until it becomes true. No you don't have to convince the whole city of Troy only you.

BREAKING IT DOWN
When you start to imagine you can close your eyes to your own past. Get this- your past doesn't really exist except in your memory. You have some amnesia and you wouldn't remember your past at all. Now the ego loves to say " Hey You! That isn't you. You have never done that. What makes you think you can now? Huh? You're not this person."

The ego would love for you to think it has some mysterious power over you. It doesn't unless you give it power over you. If you understand the function of the ego you aren't plugged into idea that it halts your progress. The ego is here to serve you. "What?" you might gasp. It remembers for you so you can actually have a physical life. So you can bend over and and tie your shoes. So you can drive your bike, car, or motor home. It has this memory of the past so you don't have to learn everything all over again and again. It also has memories attached to it so you can run away from the Sabre Tooth Tiger when it wants dinner. It is also one that remembers your emotional pain and convinces you that it is something to run from. Its a fight or flight reaction that resides in your memories.

So what you say to your EGO is this when it says something non-supportive of your new assumption, new desire, and entering the new state - Thank you. Please tell me things that support my desire or please do not speak. And then go in and do the TROJAN HORSE technique. Pretend you already have what you want FROM the place of already having it! Receive it as yours. LIve it as yours for as long as you can. 10 hours to 20 seconds would be a place to start. Whatever makes it feel real to you. Liev in that promise land that your dream, assumption, new state is real.

BUILD IT
Construct it like you already had it within your mind. As you come from the place you have notice what you'd feel, say, and do next while you just got it in your life. Would you imagine calling all your friends when this happen for you? Would you get an award for this accomplishment? Would you feel sand ooze through your toes because your on the whites sands in the Caribbean? What structure would it be? Feel yourself with it surrounding you as real. Pretend you have exactly what you desire. Play with it. What calls would you receive now because of it? Would you fly some where because of it? Would you have a different taste in your mouth because of it? Just pretend. Pretend with vivid imagining flowing through you.

What happens after when its not yet here after I build it? Do what the Troy people did bring your TROJAN HORSE in and celebrate the war is over. You no longer have to fight to have what you want because you have already received it. Now the difference between you bringing your dream or assumption into your heart as already done and the TROY deception is that when the TROJAN HORSE opens up and reveals what is inside you'll have exactly what you want because you created the TROJAN HORSE in the first place. You are deceiving your senses that whatever you see in the outer world is the only thing that is real. Your go in side and create an inner landscape, and inner world of pretending, that opens up and slays the memories that you can't do this or that. You have suspended your disbelief just enough with pretending that it becomes real. You worship inside the gate of the promise land what is real to your spiritual senses instead of to your outer senses.

THERE IS NO DECEIVING YOUR TRUE SELF
The TROJAN HORSE works because you are not deceiving your true self. Your involving it. Your using your spiritual capacities to teach you what is possible in your world. You are "pretending" long enough to line your vibrational frequency up inside of you to send it out to the outside world. It is lining things on the outside to reveal it you that you are already in the world through your assumption, state, or heart felt dream.

Ignoring the idea that you have to be somebody else or strive to have something or yearn for something is the idea that is a physical only component of your world. You must let go and Pretend what you desire is true until it becomes true on the outside physical world.

BE PLAYFUL
As you grew up parents, teachers, and others tell you to be serious. Obviously there is a time to be serious but not when your going for your goal, dream, assumption, or new state you are entering. Being playful makes all the difference. Being playful allows you to make small adjustments to feel the right vibrational on the inside of you. Being playful allows you to make mistakes and not think it is the end of your world. being playful with your intentions allows you to see what other easy adjustments you can make if it didn't come out the way you'd dream it would be.

There are many paths to what you desire. They all start on the inner path of having them first. Building an inner world mental equivalent of your desired dream or assumption as yours already is one of the first steps to telling, yelling, and pronouncing to the Law (or Law of Attraction many people call it now) that your desire is yours. Then as you really accept it as yours it comes into your world by unknown means.

STOP WAITING - START RECEIVING
The universe is triggered by you having the mental and spiritual thought of your desire, dream, or assumption as real. If you focus on that you don't have it - your receive that too. There is a vibrational match within you that says "YES! I have what I desire!" that you want to line up. Ask and you'll Receive it! There is nothing that stops the universe from delivering to you except you. And obviously not on purpose. You just don't know you have interfering beliefs about what your desire is. Another programed thought stops it from coming into your reality. That is what is so great about revising your energy in receiving it. If you didn't get it - just revise that you did. Feel it fully again that you now have it. STOP paying attention to what is in your world in regards to NOT having it. START to see, feel, and hear only that you received it already. Play in your imagination you can now call adventure land that it is yours!

Now go ahead and play with your vibration by pretending that you have it now. Put yourself in the place you have it now. Think and feel from the place it is your already. Do it now. Don't wait. Get yourself in that place that you not only are convince you have it that when someone points out that you don't have it or it isn't here yet - YOU TOTALLY IGNORE their "lies" and continue to experience your ultimate desires of being fulfilled already.

And let it happen now. You deserve it. Your desire it. You have the ability to know that it is yours so let it in to your outer world! Practice the TROJAN HORSE technique and know what is coming out of your HORSE will be a spiritual sensation being manifested as yours! Now time travel until you feel you have your desire and it will be yours!

Happy Time Traveling!
Gary Nordgren

Some quotes to support this material from Neville Goddard:

" You can take it in a financial sense, take it in the social world; take it in any way whatsoever. That is what came to me a few days before I closed. For if I could find something more simple to tell them than I think I have told them, this would be it: to enter into the state and not simply think of the state. Thinking from it differs from thinking of it. I must learn to think from it. A man who this night came into a million dollars, from that moment that man is made aware that he has a million, when prior to that he had nothing. He is thinking from the consciousness of having a million dollars. He is not thinking of it; he is walking in the consciousness of having a million dollars. He's not hoping for it, wishing for it; he is actually in it."

  IMAGINATION
Lecture #412  Neville   07/14/1969


and another Neville Goddard quote:

" Now, how will I know that I have changed the feeling of "I"? By beginning first with an uncritical observation of my reactions to life and then noticing my reactions when I think I am identified with my choice. If I assume that I am the man that I want to be, let me observe my reactions. If they are as they were, I have not identified myself with my choice, for my reactions are automatic and so if I am changed I would automatically change my reactions to life. So the changing of the feeling of "I" results in a change of reaction… which change of reaction is a change of environment and behavior. But let me warn you now. A little alteration of mood is not a transformation; it's not a real change of consciousness. Because as I change my mood for the moment it can quickly and rapidly be, I would say, replaced by another mood in the reverse direction. When I say that I was changed, as that gentleman changed his mood, his basic mood, his state of consciousness, it means that having assumed that I am what the moment denied, what my reason denied, that I remain in that state long enough to make that state stable, so that all of my energies are flowing from that state. I am no longer thinking of that state, I am thinking from that state. So that wherever a state grows so stable as to definitely expel all of its rivals, then that central, habitual state of consciousness from which I think defines my character and is really a true transformation or change of consciousness. Whenever I reach that state of stability, watch my world mold itself then in harmony with this inner change, and men will come into my world, people will come to aid and they will think they are initiating the urge to help. They are playing only their part. They must do what they do because I have done what I did. Having moved from one state into the other, I have altered my relationship relative to the world round about, and that changed relationship compels a change in behavior relative to my world. So they have to act differently toward me."

CHANGING THE FEELING OF "I"
Lecture #325 - Neville    06/28/1955

Fashion, Passion, Compassion

FASHION
As we gawk at the glamour of runway models and see the beauty that sells the "new fashion" product. We typically just see the outside of the model. We forget that the internal dialogue got her to where she is walking down a isle in front of hundreds, thousands or possibly millions of people.

These beautiful models have to start somewhere. Some are discovered. Some have had a deep desire to model from an early age, and some find out what they can do it because of their beauty and style wins the hearts of those around and presents the path to them.

Now as the beauty fades from a youthful glow and turns into a more mature experienced beauty these models reinvent themselves to serve a bigger cause or in different communities. They become actresses, make exercise or diet products, become moms, create their very own fashion lines of clothing, purses, perfumes, etc. that gets them into multiple ways to express themselves.

Some who are models are passionate about being a fashion model, some are not. The glamour doesn't make all people equally happy or feel any kind of emotion. What they believe about being a model in fashion industry does.

Many people see a beautiful looking person in a magazine or in person and practically worships the idea of them, lusts after them in some way, or are infatuated with them. They appear to be rich and beautiful so that must mean that they are happy, satisfied, and have a wonderful life.

We assume these people are certain things by what we see from our perspective. Remember we are placing value on things that we know little or nothing about if we are not in the modeling world.

Sometimes we can't help compare our lives to those who we might look up to or think they have something more than we might have. That is normal. That is until you realize that being someone else is not really all that satisfying...ever. Being you and becoming more of the God self that you are and in your own authentic expressions from creating through your passions leads you to a happier life.

PASSION
If there is a passion that you'd like to do that you are not currently pursuing - will you take a moment to notice it now – what it is or what might be. Just take a few minutes out of your busy life to connect with yourself and what matters to you. Your passion is something that makes you feel like a kid and time flies so fast when your doing it. You’d do it for free and you do it because it makes you feel good!

Make list on some paper or your computer what your passions are or might be.
Once you have a list or at least one thing then you'd want to really feel out aspects of it like this. Take a paper and do what we call a mind map as in the link below.

EXAMPLE of A MIND MAP and PASSIONS http://nev8.com/passions.html

After you have one or more passions written down take a long look at them. What would it be like if these passions were a part of your life everyday? Contemplate that for a few minutes. How could you take on one or more of them and start to live these passions now?

Part of living your passions is getting great joy from them. As you put them into your life they become even a greater way to live than without them.

People have to want to live a greater life to truly tap into what their passions could be if they don’t know. The discover of your passions and the installing them into your life is quite thrilling. Sometimes when you start making your passions come true you have doubts about why you didn’t start living your passions much sooner than you did. If you still don’t know what your passions are – guess. If not then just open yourself up to knowing. Just say out loud to the Universe or the inside listener “I would like my passions to reveal to me as soon as possible. Thank you for granting my request!” It will come. Look for it.

COMPASSION
As you start to live your passions which requires you to let go of the past imperfect performances and have compassion for yourself without reservation. Many people who start living their dreams sometimes find they are judging themselves for not living their dreams sooner because it was so easy to get started. Have no fear this is a process not an event.

As you embrace your passions and compassion for yourself you’ll find a freedom seldom felt before. You will have a better instinct for going more towards your good. You’ll find that compassion for yourself might start with you but will extend to others easily once you give it to yourself.

IMAGINING WHO YOU WANT TO BE
As you are more tuned into your passions and what you feel purpose doing you then can imagine greater things for yourself. Each state you claim consciously helps you climb to another level and you see and feel more than ever before. Each level of your awareness helps you expand beyond it. You see farther at each awareness level.

Let go of your excuses and start to live your passion changes your life course. Even thinking and feeling you have some conscious control over the consequences in your life can be life altering. Realizing that when you see your “truth” from the inside and feel it to be true on the outside – it becomes a reality.

Two quotes from Lynne McTaggart: Author of The Intention Experiment and Living The Field.

“So the implications are that observation, even after the fact, determines the final outcome. The observer entirely controls whether that which is observed comes into being – at any point in time.”

“As Wheeler once noted in 2006, two years before he died: ‘We are participators in bringing into being not only the near and here but the far away and long ago.’ In his fertile imagination, he even imagined the entire universe as one giant wave in need of observation to have brought it into being. In this instance, perhaps the observer will turn out to be God (Imagination).”

Added Imagination with parenthesis by Gary Nordgren.

As the first quote from Lynne McTaggart has us thinking as Neville has shown us in written word and lectures in so many ways,

“Remain faithful to your assumption, and that Being who is going to erupt in you will take you to that end. If you find yourself moving from your fulfilled desire, go back to it, and once more assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Do this and your assumption will harden into fact.”

“I would try to sustain it without effort, that is, I would live and act as though it were already a fact, knowing that as I walk in this fixed attitude my assumption will harden into fact.”

REMAIN FAITHFUL TO YOUR IDEA

Lecture Lesson #05 − Neville − Class Room Instruction 1948

Neville Lectures to Change Your World Subscription

“An assumption will harden into fact. If an assumption creates its own reality then there is no such thing as fiction. I may forget what I assumed today and when it appears I may not recognize my own harvest, but it could not enter my world had I not brought it in by an imaginal act.”

HE IS MY RESURRECTION

Lecture #59 – Neville 06/28/1968

Observing something from the inside by assuming it definitely follows and confirms the first quote from Lynne McTaggart. Revising something that has happen changes the reality as the first quote suggests brings it into being. Can you believe this reality you imagined is true even after the facts presented themselves on the outside?

These quotes are not talking about some superman or superwoman – it is talking of humans. That means you. You have this power that Neville says you have and the several of brightest scientific minds has agreed also with their studies in the last 40 years. That means you can create reality even with revision. You can observe something on the inside no matter whether it is in the past or the present you can create it and bring it out of nothing by imagining the outcome you desire on the inside.

Neville thought of the words Jesus Christ, God, Imagination, I AM, to be interchangeable with each other as meaning the same thing. As you read the second Lynne McTaggart quote above putting in Imagination it makes it much more powerful to our subject I think.

Imagining what you desire forgives you about your past results. It forgives the state that you no longer are in. Your state dictates your fortune! Letting yourself have the state you’d prefer on the inside seems like trickery at first until you experience your own reconstruction of mental images coming to life on the outside world. Let the truth begin even if it seems like trickery!

It’s a thrill when you realize your first experience of imagining some experience into reality. When you continue to busy your brain in image making in imagination and all the while expecting state changing results you are beginning to know you are HE. HE who would can affect His world by imagining movement from within!

You become what I call the master over yourself. You start to imagine and reality changes more and more rapidly as you believe you can affect reality. As you are become more and more aware of who you are you start to awake to the real you of power, love, and kindness! You can’t help but become your brothers keeper and see, hear, know, and feel others peoples lives improve to a more lovelier life for them. You imagine your brother or into stranger into a new state and they go into eventually. You imagine your relatives to be in a happier, healthier, and richer states and they start improving their attitude and their states right in front of you if you see them often enough!

You now know that if you don’t look back and see others any better or valuable than you because you now know you can use your imagination to enter into your own spot. As you embrace your passions – the things you love to do. Go ahead and give yourself some self-compassion for all the things you didn’t do in the past or did do that you decided you shouldn’t have done. Let go of any energy that doesn’t make you feel good about you with compassion. If you need to revise the past situations or conditions do that. Learn from your past what is valuable for the future and let all else go.

Take a few seconds and imagine the ideal images, voices, feeling you’d prefer to have running through your senses. Persuade yourself that this new ideal situation is the real scene from the past. Your memory will support that since our memories are easily plastic. In fact every time you remember a past situation you change the memory of it! So at least give yourself what the most ideal condition would have been and dial that up in one or more of your senses.

So afterwards check yourself. Think about the past situation. Does it feel the same or has it changed? If it still is not neutral or positive for you dial up your senses again and engage one or more of them and over ride the past situation with the idealized situation or condition.

So lets say someone told you that you weren’t very smart and you have played that in your head and feelings way too long. Imagine what you’d want that person to say to you. Make it first and foremost believable to you. So maybe an ideal thing that they would have said instead would be “At first glance at you I thought you weren’t very smart then I realized that with a little applying yourself you can be as smart as you want to be.” Or “You know I prejudged you to not be very smart but once I got to know you I found you are very smart and capable to handle anything that comes your way!”

If you see things happening to you from the outside take another snapshot. Make it exactly the ideal action you’d prefer in the scene from the past so you can blow the past images away with a strong powerful, bright, up close image.

Use whatever sense you have going on in the scene and scramble it. Play it backwards ten times really fast. Put clowns feet on the person who would be the person that might have been ignorant of your true potential of your unlimited capacity. Put a clowns nose on them. Make them look and act funny. Then pop them into a gorilla outfit and pop them into a cows outfit and then pop them into a hot dog bun’s outfit walking around trying to stay standing up. See them keep falling down and getting up. In fact slow them down so slow it is comical to you. Make their speech slow. Make their mind slow. Make them looked confused. Now put a dunce hat on them or put them in a Santa suit and see kid after kid very fast sitting on their lap and see every kid peeing on their lap. See their mouth sewed up like in the Matrix where Neo couldn’t talk. See them struggle and wonder what is going on and why they can’t talk. Looking at you in horror and the only thing that can come out of their mouth is positive about you.

See you have the power over the images or the moving picture – you can change every aspect of it with whatever you can imagine. Change the feelings about the past with revision. It doesn’t have to be serious unless you insist has to be that way. Make the revising as fun as you want it to be!

So take it upon yourself whether you look at the fashion of the world and see good or your passions and see life giving blood to pour avalanches of compassion on yourself to be who you need to be in each moment to create the next moment. Know you are the creator of yourself and give yourself a ton of love, compassion, and room for growing from one state, life, circumstance, or condition to the more ideal one you’d prefer! Just know you sitting there can do this. There is no special blood you need or tons of training. You already are master at creating your life. Now just become conscious of doing it. Choose a more ideal life for you in the coming year of 2010 and decide you will be what and who you want to be!

Follow The Leader

Who in your life is a leader? Who do you follow? Today we are inundated with information. Are you selecting what information is coming in to and registering in your brain consciously or by habit? Do you watch or read the news regularly? Ask yourself if it is helping to you accomplish the desires of your heart? Are you taking what you watch or read and revising it to be the ideal? If your not then you are following the conditions and circumstance most likely of what you focus on. That is your leader. Are they going where you want?

Do you feel that the Law is idle while you listen to news or read it? If you do it to relax or to just be current without revising what is coming in at that moment your being lead through their views.

What causes your life?

News and many blogs are written by people who think they and you are at the mercy of conditions and causes outside of themselves. Telling them that Imagining Creates their reality they would scoff, laugh, and ridicule you to no end.

"Imagining Creates Reality? Your delusional!"

There is a story of a fox that tried to reach some grapes even though with all his jumping to get the grapes he couldn't reach them. After many tries he rationalized that they were sour anyway so it was good he didn't get them.

Now the fox could imagine all she wanted and still not become any taller. Right? Of course that usually isn't the nature of nature is it? Yes, nod your head. People assume that if imagining lead to createing reality they would know about it. They take an a view opposite it just like the fox who never tasted the grapes made up that the grapes were sour.

Now with using the law by imagining creates reality - you have infinite possibilities to assemble your desires in and for your life. More than you could ever fathom. If you look around your life and see the physical manifestations that are all around you from your car to your house to your gloves you had a desire to have them and felt, saw, or heard them as part of your world or reality. Now you might have wanted a bigger house or a more compatible spouse and yet you imagined them to be part of your life in some way.

What you received was conditioned by your beliefs about what you deserve, what you think is possible and what is your reality for you. So that bigger house may have been about "what you could afford" instead of the universal law delivering to you the bigger house with that extra bed room.

The most difficult thing is to think, believe, and imagine living outside your current reality without practicing the desire consciously. With practice it gets easier and easier. Many people start reading Neville and get very excited to read about the possibilities that could be for them. They forget to start there own story of imagining creates reality. They want to dare to believe it but scared to try it. You really have to let go of your conditioning and give imagining creates reality as an possibility to actual take imagining events into your physical world. And that requires you becoming a leader of your life.

I was in a group that meet every month for about 12 months and the people were wonderful in this group. I have to say I enjoyed this group more than any other I had attended up to then. As we discussed the popular buzz name for the Law which is the "Law of Attraction" I found that many of the people were enjoying the great energy in the group and many didn't apply this Law to their lives except in a minimal way. Including me.

After about 1 year of meetings I realized that I was enjoying the group even though I was not really applying much of the Law to my life in the way I coulda, shoulda or woulda. Now I can do metaphysical guilt like the best of them. Do you love that idea that you know you coulda, shoulda or woulda be in a different place because we have intellectual knowledge. I laugh now at that notion if I have not emotionalized it. I know I won't have it unless I use my one of senses first or more senses before any physical manifestation it never comes that I have it already.

When you expect something instantly -"Where is it already?" or keep looking for it - its like praying from a place of deep want or yearning. What your focused on is not being there as your reality.

I started looking at many peoples lives who were reading Neville or Universal Laws principles and they weren't really getting the results they wanted. Now I knew that I wasn't to the degree I desired either. In 2005 I really started taking on the idea that applying it was what was needed more than just reading it to feel good. And where do we apply it? In our life and experiences.

My computer business at that time I felt passionless for and I had reached my goal 0f keeping the business alive over 6 years. I loved the people and just got tired of not feeling like what I did mattered long term. I fixed and sold computers. "BIG DEAL!" I thought.

I stop enjoying doing that because it wasn't really what I loved to do. I did many months of soul searching and realized that I need to help people full time to do my mission which was to Help people"Get" that they are more than they believed (including me).

I had been on this journey forever towards finding solutions because I coached many people along the way. I then opened a part time coaching business and started coaching professional. I loved it! It was something that feed my soul totally. I was still struggling with my computer business along with some personal relationship issues and couldn't find a business model that worked well for coaching. I attended a coaching club once a month and the people who were leading that group were full time well paid coaches. The last meeting I attended one of the coaches and I was talking. She told me your really not really focused on being a coach, your more of an entrepreneur. I stop going after that because I took her criticism pretty hard. I stopped pursuing the coaching business I was doing and went and got a job. I really didn't realize she lead me to a conclusion I hadn't nor should I have accepted your reality as greater than mine. I didn't realize that truly I was on the leading edge of what coaches are working on four years later.

Have you ever done that? Let someones opinion run or ruin your life? Their comment destroy your momentum or even your confidence in what you were doing? Who was leading who then? I know this woman I saw as one of the leaders of the group but not really the leader of my current reality. I let her idea destroy my momentum. I went and got a job for 15 months and coached a lot less professionally than I did before just because some person shared her opinion and I bought it hook, line, and stinker!

Every time you chase your desire with one of your senses - your feelings, hearing it, and seeing it before it has happened you step out and lead. You lead you to the belief that Imagining does Create Reality! You step up with what all powerful successful people use - FAITH!

When your family, friends, coworkers look at you and think your "nuts" when you might have mention using intention to create what you desire - you are leading from a place called FAITH!

Faith in your ability to create reality as you desire it! Sure it takes time to condition yourself to believe you do actually create your own reality AND it is worth it as you experiment with your experiences! Try it, you'll like it.

See naysayers are naysayers because they are comfortable to a point of living in their protective reality that others, the world, the government, the friends, the family, the co-workers, the bosses, their dogs, their cats, their cars, the economy all have a say in what they experience.

When you look at what you think is first cause of your life will determine your life.

What is first cause? (See Mastering Neville's Advanced Realization Workshop for more info)

First cause is where you believe the causes in your life come from. What do you believe causes your life to happen in the way that it does. If you believe that the cause of your life lies outside of you then you would be following that cause as your leader. So if a employer changes the retirement plan and you buy into that with your energy then you purchased the state of way of being helpless to that business or another business or government regulation as your leader. Ouch!

In a way where you put your attention towards as the cause of your life is leading you. Why I say in a way is because the power lies within your choice to what gains and captures your attention. Your ability to focus on having your desire already is one of the skills you might want to develop as the leader of you.

When you go cross currents of what people believe you actually step out to be a leader of first yourself and second other who notice what your doing. So even though you are being lead you ultimately decide and choose what captures your interest, attention and what you invest into emotionally. You have the the choice to react or respond to your external world's conditions.

"Blake tells us, “Eternity exists and all things in eternity independent of creation which was an act of mercy. By this you will see that I do not consider either the just or the wicked to be in a supreme state, but to be everyone of them states of the sleep which the soul may fall into in its deadly dreams of good and evil when it leaves paradise following the serpent.”

Now, Blake uses the word “mercy” only as one who sees that states are eternal; that in God’s mercy he created all things, not just a few, so that any situation which can be conceived, already exists in eternity. When Blake said, “Eternity exists and all things in eternity independent of creation which was an act of mercy,” he meant that everything you see is dead, a part of the eternal structure of the universe. You are its operant power. When you enter a scene it becomes animated. Then you become lost in your own animation and think it is independent of your perception. Looking at it, you cannot believe you are causing the animation, but you are.

You and I are living souls, buried in a world of death. We are destined to be life-giving spirits through an act of mercy, but until that time we animate what we perceive. Questioning self, Blake asks: “O miserable man that I am, who will deliver me from this body of death?” May I tell you, no earthly power can do it, only God. "

ETERNAL STATES
Lecture # 60 – Neville 09/09/1968
Neville Lectures to Change Your World Subscription

When you first discover this magically ability you can't stop imagining your next reality as what you desire until you have doubt enter in.

When you doubt that the result you want is actually seeing what your desire is - is lacking - in your life. You have yearning, a empty feeling about this thing you desire to manifest into your physical reality. Unless you come from the place or state that you have it already - you know - received it already; as your own then you can have as much as you can imagine and believe you can have. You can doubt your doubts if you like.

In coaching my clients to create incomes without putting having to physically be there; they have to trust that it is possible. They may not know exactly how yet and they have to step out and have faith.

Faith is simpler than you think. Just think of going to visiting a friend, relative, or a place for a vacation out of the state you live.

What is the process?

You believe you can get there by jet, plane, helicopter, car, bus, train, or transporter. You don't start whining that your not there already so you'll never be. You don't say that destination I don't deserve. That destination is only for the special ones. No you feel free to go there because of your desire alone.

Okay so what is the next step?
Planning, packing, preparing your boss with a slip for time off, and getting someone to mind the store while your away.

You assume that it is possible to make it happen now. You don't say because I haven't been to Alaska that I can never go to California do you? No. You just assume you will make the trip - and you start looking forward to being there physically. Anyone who has driven hundreds of miles they have one place on their mind - the destination. Its almost like they are there already in their mind and the trip is all but done while they are driving. What is your experience?

Okay after you desire and then assume you can have your desire what is the next step? Isn't it accepting you are there. So will have new sights, new smell, new, experiences from when you came from. So you create a new experience in your head about it being different than where you were. That is the manifested reality you accept as yours. Its natural.

Now what? That is it. You have a desire, assume you are there, and then walk as if you are there and the scenery around you will change as if by magic. You are magically then.

Your ability to take your desire and imagine being there and accept you have it, Ta da! The simple formula that will take a life time to master - expect when it doesn't because you now call it easy.

So when you watch the news, read a book, listen to gossip, watch a TV show ask yourself what is this leading me to? What or who is the cause of the story?

Lead yourself to the fulfillment of your desires! You can do it! Because you are the operant power that chooses to be a leader of your reality who leads by imagining the reality that they desire.

Who will lead you today? You?

You are a leader just by imagining something different than your comfort zone. Lead yourself where you want to go! Go for your dreams now!

Imagine well!
