there is only one cause for the phenomena of life that causes God housed in you God is a
person in the most literal sense of the word believe me for I know this from experience
God the only Creator is Pure Imagination working in the depth of your soul God began a good work
in you and he will bring it to completion on the day God's creative Powers unveiled in you
God's creative power and wisdom is defined in scripture as Christ when Christ unveils
himself in you you will know you are God's power and God's wisdom
God your own wonderful human imagination underlies all of your faculties including perception and
streams into your surface mind least disguise in the form of creative productive fantasy
when you ask yourself what you can do to transcend your present limitation of life
you are dwelling upon the means God does not ask you to consider the means but to define the end
speaking to you through the medium of Desire God asks the question what want is thou of me
then he tells you not to be concerned with the ways and the means for his ways are unsearchable
they are inscrutable and past finding out this statement you will find in the 11th chapter of
the book of Romans so don't be concerned as to how God will fulfill the end only know that he will
can you believe your desire is fulfilled can you believe it is true
if you can it is yours for the taking for nothing is impossible to one who believes
now let me share with you three stories which came to me during the summer the first letter was from
my friend Benny in it he told of lying prone on his bed face down where he felt as though someone
grabbed his shoulders and as he was lifted up he heard the words take a stand intuitively
he knew he had to make the decision now as to whether he was going to believe that imagining
creates reality or disbelieve it scripture tells us he who is not with me is against me
there is no neutral ground for I have not come to bring peace but a sword to set a man against
his father and a daughter against her mother why because a Man's enemies are within him everyone
must eventually take the stand that imagining creates reality and swim or sink with this concept
now a few days later while in meditation Benny felt himself being held from behind by three men
as they raised him he watched the sun rise and heard the words look behold and recognition
and he remembered a passage from my book your faith is your fortune recognition of this
truth will transform you from one who tries to make it so into one who recognizes it to be so
soon after this a friend asked Ben to pray for him he wanted to be the property manager of the
neville goddard | imagination creates reality | law of attraction | how to manifest | the law of attraction | Law of Attraction | law of assumption | best method | Neville Goddard lecture | your youniverse
company he worked for although he had been passed by year after year Benny told him what to do and
imagined hearing the friend tell him the job was now his a few months later the job was vacated and
his friend was given the position with an increase in salary and greater responsibility just as he
had imagined what did Benny do he imagined to whom did he pray to his own wonderful human imagination
God the creator of all life is like pure imagining in you underlying all of your faculties including
perception he streams into your surface mine least disguised in the form of productive fantasy
Benny took a stand he prayed for his friend and he believed his prayer was answered
he tested himself in the windows of Heaven opened and poured forth blessings for all to see
now Benny knows that With God all things are possible God is your mightier self emptying
himself God took on the form of a slave and is now found in the likeness of man abdicating his
power Pure Imagination took upon himself the limitations of Flesh thereby becoming human
it is God who weaves your every desire into cubic reality waiting upon you effectively
and swiftly regardless of whether your desire is for evil or for good
the one who conjures thoughts in the mind of a Hitler or Stalin is the same power
as the one Conjuring thoughts in the mind of a pope or the Archbishop of Canterbury
there aren't two Gods there's only one the 14th and 53rd chapters of the book of Psalms
are identical each telling us the fool says in his heart there's no God but the Lord looks down
from heaven upon the children of the many to see if there are any that act wise and seek the Lord
here we find that in the eyes of God wisdom is equated with seeking the Lord
and if God is all wise and all-powerful then any search other than for the Lord is stupid
you may be the greatest mathematician or scientist the most intelligent and honored man among men but
if your search is not for God you are stupid in his eyes called upon to look for the cause
of creation what are you doing losing yourself in the phenomena of life when something happens
search your thoughts and you will discover your own wonderful human imagination to be the cause
of your experience because God is a person at the present time he's wearing a mask called Neville
but the ones speaking to you now knows himself to be the Ancient of Days
every being in the world is a mask worn by God for housed in man is man's imagination
a thought acted upon is an imaginal act think imagine a horrible earthquake and
God will give it to you imagine think of a war and God will provide that too
imagine peace and you will have it God will give you health if you will but imagine being healthy
imagine success and you will have it the moment you think you are feeding
your imagination which is a person I use the word person deliberately for you are a
person you are the mass God is now wearing for God became you that you may become God
now let me share another letter with you last year this lady living about 60 miles north of San
Francisco was possessed with a desire to come to Los Angeles and attend my lecture leaving word at
her office she drove her car to the San Francisco airport where she took a plane to Los Angeles
there she was met by a friend and immediately came to the lecture after the lecture she joined
a group of four women and one man for coffee where she expressed her hunger having missed
lunch and dinner that day the gentleman sitting beside her then said I'd like to buy you a steak
and as she looked into his face she heard a voice within her say this is your husband
now this lady has been married and divorced four times so she had specific desires for her husband
which she felt must be fulfilled she wanted to be happily married to a man who lived by his truth
she wanted him to love and respect her as well as her 17 year old son having imagined such a man in
September she attended my meeting in October and married the gentleman she met here the following
January the gentleman added his story to her letter saying having played with the idea of
being married I went to a pawn shop last September and purchased a plain gold band which I placed on
the third finger of my left hand every day I wore the ring and every night I slept in the feeling of
being happily married my friend thought he could not get the feeling of being married
without a physical aid but you don't need anything outside of your imagination to catch the mood
having been an alcoholic this gentleman imagined his wife never mentioned his past for although he
had not tasted alcohol for nine years he had paid the price in his search for God you see
the alcoholic is searching for truth thirsty he finds a false prophet in the form of alcohol while

those who will not touch it and criticize those who do haven't even started their search but I
have news for them one day they too will know a hunger which will not be satisfied by Bread
they will know if they're so great they will make the mistake of clothing it in the form of a bottle
but because it will be a false thirst The Thirst will remain then they will
discover the true hunger and the true thirst which is for the hearing of the word of God
now in the third letter a gentleman writes having borrowed from the bank every month
when I sent in my payment I reduced the total amount in my record book
one day as I was writing my check and recording its payment I closed my eyes and saw two zeros
under the balance due column then I gave a sigh of relief because the note was paid
for the next three months I persisted in seeing those double zeros and rejoicing and being debt
free then came an unexpected surprise our company paid us a mid-year bonus which was so large I
was able to pay off all of my bills including the bank loan and deposit the rest in the bank
now I think this gentleman and I must be two peas in the same pod because money seems to burn in his
pocket too instead of keeping the money in the bank as the rational mind would do my friend
began to think about how to spend it so of course he found a way he bought a tape recorder to bring
and record my message to whom did my friend turn when he wanted the bank loan paid he turned to God
he did not get down on his knees and asked some outside God to do it for him he didn't go to
church and consult a priest Rabbi or Minister he didn't contact a so-called truth teacher but
simply closed his eyes to the obvious and saw two zeros in the balanced due column
then for the first time in the history of his company a mid-year bonus was paid
this happened to him because of his use of the law and his knowledge of who God is
not everyone who seeks God finds him but there are those like Philip that when they find him
they bring their brother Nathanael Andrew Found Jesus and brought Peter you too will
find Jesus when you exercise your imagination and bring those you love to his awareness
if great wealth befell you with not your wife or husband your children as well as those in your
immediate circle benefit from your good fortune and if it befell them would it not befall you
so we benefit each other as we search out God and test him
Revelation tells us to be either hot or cold but never to be lukewarm if you do not believe me to
the point of testing the law you are lukewarm but one day like Ben you will take a stand
you either before me or against me you will try to believe that imagining creates reality or rejected
you will be hot or cold about it and that is better than being lukewarm
I have discovered that those who hated me at first when I took from them their Idols the icon in
their mind called Jesus have become my finest students so many people claim they believe in
Jesus but cannot Define him unable to place him in time and space they are defiant when I say Christ
in you is your hope of glory full of insults they are cold some have even been violent but one day
they will find him of whom Moses and the prophets wrote turn around and be embraced by the Lord
I started telling this story in the 1930s and here we are in the 1960s during these 30 odd
years I have found those who really opposed me those who were so moved and Disturbed they were
determined to disprove my words but since they couldn't do it they too have found God
to be their own wonderful human imagination the Bible is addressed only to the human imagination
in Blake's famous letter to the Reverend Dr Trussler he makes this comment why is the
Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book is it not because it's addressed to
the imagination which is spiritual sensation and only immediately to the understanding or Reason
the Bible is imaginative instruction when it unfolds in you it is more real than anything here
yet it is all imagined for God is all imagination and so is man
the Eternal Body of man is the imagination and that is God himself there is nothing but this
one body called Jesus who is the lord god Jehovah I tell you God became as we are that we may become
as he is no one took God's life he laid it down himself saying I have the power to lay it down
and the power to lift it up again the fall into fragmented space was deliberate and he who fell
has the power to gather us all together one by one into that single body who is all love his body is
above the organization of sex in it there is no Greek no Jew no bond No free no male no female
when you wear it you understand Paul's statement I consider the sufferings of
this present time not worth comparing to the glory that has been revealed in me
in that body you know yourself to be the real man and this fleshly body is nothing
you will realize that you were never male or female but have always been God
remember everything is yours for the taking if you want it take it if you cannot claim it for
yourself ask a friend for help if you want to be happily married do what my friends did you
want to pay off all of your debts whatever you desire is yours all you have to do is imagine
you have it for everything in life is yours for the taking now let us go into the silence [Music]
