Hi everyone Agnes here it's been a while since I did a 'Neville Nugget' for you. Now today's
"nugget" is from my all-time favourite book of Neville's 'The Law and The Promise.' And
it's from the chapter on 'Moods,' and it goes like this: 'The boundless opportunities opened
by recognising the shift of the focus of imagining is beyond measure. There are no boundaries,
the drama of life is an imaginal activity in which we bring to pass by our moods rather than by
our physical acts. Moods so ably guide all towards that which they affirm. They may be said
to create the circumstances of life and dictate the events. The mood of the wish fulfilled
is the high tide which lifts us easily off the bar of the senses, where we usually lie stranded.
If we are aware of the mood and know this secret of imagining, we may announce that all that our
moods affirm will come to pass.' Okay so I'm gonna go through this a little bit. Now he talks about
'the drama of life is an imaginal activity,' so whatever drama you're experiencing in the
on the outside currently whether it's at work, with your finances, with a romantic interest,
with your family, it is there because of the mood you have been in. Such as what you think about
certain people, what you think about certain things and the general tone of you, as Neville
says the state that you are in. Okay, so the state being - are you in a state of happiness? Are you
in a state of depression? Are you in a state of anxiety? Are you in a state of unloved-ness? Or on
the other end of the scale - Are you in a state of incredible joy, feeling free, feeling adventurous,
feeling beautiful, feeling sexy, feeling you know creative? Any of these are different moods, these
are the positive moods, these are the moods that propel us towards desired end results okay. Now,
it's the mood that creates what comes to us not the physical acts okay.
So, 'the mood of the wish fulfilled is the high tide which lifts us easily off the bar
of the senses,' now what's he talking about? The mood of the wish fulfilled, so you being
in the feeling you would have if you had what you wanted..
..which is the wish fulfilled okay, that's what lifts you up - he calls it 'lifts us easily off
the bar of the senses,' meaning what you're seeing if it's not to your liking it lifts you away from
that and the the emotions associated with that because if you're looking at something let's say
it's not what you want you then bring that into you and then you have an emotional response.
However, if we as human beings realise to do it the other way around which Neville talks about
repeatedly throughout what he's written is that rather than letting the external dictate your mood
or your emotion - in our '2022' words - how we feel. You set the mood, you set
the emotion deliberately by choosing thoughts that are uplifting, positive, what you want kind
of thoughts, and then that mood goes forward and has a influence on the situation. So
it's don't let the mood out there as in what's going on out there, the feeling of what's going on
out there affect you here on the inside. You set the tone, you influence through what you do here,
and here, and in your gut which is where the feeling is, that's where we often feel it
okay. So do it deliberately, practice this where you go 'okay that situation isn't to my liking,
now what is the feeling I would love to have if I knew I had that right now?'
So you bring that feeling up, joy, fun, relaxedness, being at peace, being happy
and from that place that energy goes forth and touches the experience that you will then
bring back towards you okay. The energy of us influences the outside okay. So
looking at the last bit little bit 'if we are aware of the mood and know this secret
of imagining we may announce that all that our mood affirms will come to pass.' So it's not
about changing the outside it's about changing the inside, projecting it out using the law of
assumption, the law of projection which Neville talks a lot about, the law of assumption and
projecting that forth with the law of projection to then create a much greater desired result.
So I can tell you that this book was life-changing for me and
you know sometimes you can think that you understand Neville and after you've read
him for a year or 2, or 3, or 5, or 10, you can go back and read the exact same
book, lecture and see it with totally different eyes. And I can tell you reading this book
30 years after I started reading Neville it's very different what I see and what I hear and I
am just starting to begin to understand Neville at a deeper level after all these years. So continue
the reading, enjoy his beautiful, beautiful, beautiful stories and his breaking down of things
and you know I've been thinking for a while to do a course, a 12-week course on Neville's
teachings and I would definitely start with this book, so I will announce that soon
and lots of love to you everyone. I will put the 'Neville Nuggets' playlist down below for you and
there's also a 'Neville Goddard' playlist down below for you as well for those of you that would
like to really start to apply what Neville teaches - not just read it but take it off the page,
take it in and then project the learning onto your particular situations that are causing you
some disturbances today. So lots of love everyone and I will see you as always in the next YouTube.
