Hi, how are you today? So, you know you are creating with your imagination, your
thoughts and feelings. But you want to know more about it? How the process works?
You're at the right place. Neville Goddard is a master in explaining how
the process of creating works. And we are the main actors. You are the creator
and you have all the tools to create anything you want. So, let's listen to Neville Goddard.
It may seem incredible, but it is true. The world in which we live is a world of
imagination. In fact, life itself is an activity of imagining. All that we behold,
though it appears without, it is within. In our imagination of which this world
of mortality is but a shadow. Nothing appears or continuous in being by a
power of its own. Events happen because comparatively stable imaginal activities
created them and they continue in being only as long as they receive such
support. Therefore, the secret of imagining is the
greatest of all problems - the solution of which everyone should aspire. For
supreme power, supreme wisdom, and supreme joy lie in the solution of this great
mystery. When man solves the mystery of imagining, he will have discovered the
secret of causation. And that is imagining creates reality. Divine
imagining and human imagining are not two powers at all, but one. The valid
distinction which exists between them lies not in the substance with which
they operate, but in the degree of intensity of the operand power itself.
Acting at high tension, an imaginal act is an immediate objective fact.
Key low, an imaginal act is realized in a time process. Human history, with its
forms of governments, its revolutions, its wars, and in fact the rise and fall of
nations, could be written in terms of the imaginal activities of men and women. All
imaginative men and women are forever casting forth enchantments and all
passive men and women who have no powerful imaginative lives are
continually passing under the spell of their power
if imagination is the only thing that acts or is in existing beings or men as
Blake believes then we should never be certain that it was not some woman
treading in the winepress who began that subtle change in men's minds or that the
passion because of which the earth has been drenched in blood did not begin in
the imagination of some shepherd boy lighting up his eye for a moment before
it ran upon its way the future is the imaginal activity of
man in its creative March imagining is the creative power not only of the poet
the artist the actor and orator but of the scientist the inventor the merchant
and the artisan it's abuse in unrestrained unlovely image making is
obvious but it's abuse in undo repression breeds sterility which robs a
man of actual wealth of experience imagining novel solutions to ever more
complex problems is far more noble than to restrain or kill out desire life is
the continuing solution of a continuously synthetic problem
imagining creates events our world created out of names imagining comprise
are numbered warring beliefs therefore they can never be a perfectly stable or
static state today's events are bound to disturb our yesterday's establish order
imaginative men and women in very unsettled a pre-existing peace of mind
hold fast to your ideal in your imagination nothing can take it from you
but your failure to persist in imagining the ideal realized imagine only such
states that are of value or promise well to attempt to change circumstances
before we change our imaginal activity is the struggle against the very nature
of things there can be no outer change until there is first an imaginal change
everything we do unaccompanied by an imaginal change is but futile
readjustment of services imagining the wish fulfilled brings about a union with
that state and during that union we behave in keeping with our imaginal
change this shows us that an imaginal change will result in a change of
behavior however our ordinary imaginal
alterations as we pass from one state to another are
not transformations because each of them is so rapidly succeeded by another in
the reverse direction but whenever one state grows our staple has to become our
constant move our habitual attitude then that habitual state defines our
character and is a true transformation now let me call your attention to the
design on the cover of this record you will notice a man sitting on a park
bench imagining himself to be in a home this is the secret of those who lie in
bed awake while they dream things true they know how to live in their own dream
house until in fact they do man through the medium of a controlled waking dream
can predetermine his future that imaginal activity of living in the
feeling of the wish fulfilled leaves man across a bridge of incident to the
fulfillment of the dream if we live in the dream thinking from it and not of it
then the creative power of imagining will answer our adventurous fencing and
the wish fulfilled will break in upon us and take us unawares name is all
imagination therefore man must be where he is in imagination for his imagination
is himself it makes sense doesn't it as Albert Einstein said the state of mind
that created the problem can be the same state of mind that will solve it if we
want something different in our lives we have to change something about our minds
we have to live in the end we have to live as if our desire is already
fulfilled because life will confirm who you are how you see this world and how
you feel about it that's why Jesus didn't say I want to be
this or that he said I am he had faith to realize that imagination is not
something tied to the senses or enclose within the spatial boundary of the body
is most important although man moves about in space by
movement of his physical body he need not be so restricted he can move by a
change in what he's aware of however real the scene on which sight rests men
can gaze and one never before witnessed he can always remove the monkey if it
upsets his concept of what life ought to be this ability to mentally move from
things as they are to things as they ought to be is one of the most important
discoveries that men could make it reveals man is a center of imagining
with powers of intervention which enable him to alter the course of observed
events moving from success to success through a series of mental
transformations of nature of others and himself how does he do it
self abandonment that is the secret he has to abandon himself mentally to his
wish fulfilled in his love for that state and in so doing live in the new
state and no more in the old state now we can commit ourselves to what we do
not love so the secret of self commission is faith + love faith is
believing what is incredible we commit ourselves to the feeling of the wish
fulfilled in faith that this act of self commission will become a reality and it
will because imagining creates reality imagination is both conservative and
transformative it is conservative when it builds its world from images supplied
by memory and the evidence of the senses it is creatively transformative when it
imagines things as they ought to be building its world out of the generous
dreams of fancy in the procession of images the ones
that take precedence naturally are those of the senses nevertheless a present
sense impression is only an image it does not differ in nature from a memory
image or the image of a wish what makes a present sense impression so
objectively real is the individuals imagination functioning in it and
thinking from it whereas in a memory image or a wish the individuals
imagination is not functioning in it and thinking from it but is functioning out
of it and thinking of it if the individual would enter into the image in
his imagination as the design on the cover of this record suggests then would
he know what it is to be creatively transformative then would he realize his
wish and then he would be happy every image can be embodied but unless man
himself enters the image and thinks from it it is incapable of birth therefore it
is the heighth of folly to expect the wish to be realized by the mayor passage
of time that which requires imaginative occupancy to produce its effect
obviously cannot be effected without such occupancy we cannot be in one image
and not suffer the consequences of not being in another imagination is
spiritual sensation enter the image of the wish fulfilled then give it sensory
vividness and tones of reality by mentally acting as you would act were it
a physical fact now this is what I mean by spiritual sensation imagine that you
are holding a rose in your hand smell it do you detect the odor of roses well if
the rose is not here why is its fragrance in the air through
spiritual sensation that is through imaginal sight son
scent taste and touch man can give to the image sensory vividness if he does
all things will conspire to aid his harvesting and on reflection he will see
how subtle were the threads that led to his goal he could never have devised the
means which is imaginal activity used to fulfill itself if man longs to escape
from his present sense fixation to transform his present life into a dream
of what might well be he has but to imagine that he is already what he wants
to be and then feel the way he would expect to feel under such circumstances
let him like the make-believe of a child who is remaking the world after its own
heart create his world out of pure dreams of fancy let him mentally enter
into his dream that he mentally do what he would actually do were it physically
true he will discover that dreams are realized not by the rich but by the
imaginative nothing stands between man and the fulfillment of his dreams but
facts and facts are the creations of imagining if man changes his imagining
he will change the facts man and his past are one continuous structure
this structure contains all of the facts which have been conserved and still
operate below the threshold of his surface mind for him it is merely
history for him it seems unaudible a dead and
permanently fixed past but for itself it is living it is part of the Living age
we cannot leave behind us the mistakes of our past for nothing disappears
everything that has been is still in existence the past still exists and it
gives and still gives its results man must go back in memory seek for and
destroy the causes of evil however far back their life this going into the past
and replaying a scene of the past in imagination as it ought to have been
played the first time I call revision and revision results in repeal changing
our lives means changing the past the causes of the present evil are the
unrevised scenes of the past the past and the present formed the whole
structure of man it is carrying all of its contents with it any alteration of
content will result in an alteration in the present and future live nobody so
that mind can store a past well worthy of recall should you fail to do so
remember the first act of correction or cure is always revised if the past is
recreated into the present so will the revised past be recreated into the
present or else the promise that though your sins are like scarlet they shall be
as white as snow is alive imagine the scene the most beautiful scene that you
wish not be there in that scene mentally be there as the wish is fulfilled you
want a new car imagine the scene where you have that core be there dodge the
quarks meld interior how does it smell can you feel the wind in your hair when
you are touching the car can you feel the Sun on your
can you feel the happiness for having this new car that's the whole secret you
can create anything you want and life will confirm who you are that's the law
