the objective reality of this world is solely produced by the human imagination in which all
things exist tonight i hope to show you how to subjectively appropriate that which already exists
within you and turn it into an objective fact your life is nothing more than the out picturing of
your imaginal activity for your imagination fulfills itself and what your life becomes to
to say i am going to be rich will not make it happen you must believe rich is in by claiming
within yourself i am rich you must believe in the present tense because the active creative
power that you are is god he is your awareness and god alone acts and is his name forever and
ever is i am therefore he can't say i will be rich or i was rich but i am rich
claim what you want to be aware of here and now and although your reasonable mind denies it
and your senses deny it if you will assume it with feeling your inward activity established
and perpetuated will objectify itself in the outside world which is nothing more than your
imaginal activity objectified to attempt to change the circumstances of your life before you change
its imaginal activity is to labor in vain this i know from experience i had a friend who hated
roosevelt yet wanted him to change every morning while shaving my friend would tell roosevelt off
he found great joy and satisfaction in this daily routine yet could not understand why roosevelt
stayed the same but i tell you if you want someone to change you must change your imaginal activity
for it is the one and only cause of your life and you can believe anything in
if you will not accept the facts your senses dictate for nothing is impossible
to imagination and imagining persisted in and believed will create its own reality
now all things exist in god and he exists in you and you exist in him your eternal body is
the human imagination and that is god himself your imagination is an actual body in which
everything is contained when you imagine the thing itself comes out of that divine body
the story of jesus is a wonderful mystery that cannot be solved until you discover
from experience that he is your own wonderful human imagination
we are told that god speaks to man in a dream and unveils himself in a vision
now vision is a waking dream like this room while a dream occurs when you are not fully awake
a few years ago this vision was mine i was taken in spirit into one of the early mansions on fifth

avenue in new york city at the turn of the century as i entered i saw that three generations were
present and i heard the eldest man telling the others of their grandfather's secret
these are his words grandfather used to say while standing on an empty lot i remember
when this was an empty lot then he would paint a word picture of what he wanted to build there
he saw it vividly in his mind's eye as he spoke and in time it was established
he went through life in that manner objectively realizing what he had first subjectively claimed
i tell you everything in your outer world was first subjectively appropriated
i don't care what it is desire can be your empty lot where you may stand
remembering when that which you now have was only a desire if i now say i remember when i lectured
at the woman's club in los angeles i am implying i am no longer there and am where i want to be
remembering when you were poor i have taken you out of poverty and placed you in comfort
i remember when you were sick by taking you out of sickness and placing you in the state of health
i remember when you were unknown implies you are now known
by changing my memory image of you i can now remember when you
with all of your fame and fortune were unknown and broke that was the secret of grandfather's success
this is what i learned in a vision do not put this thought aside because it came to me in a vision
in the 12th chapter of the book of numbers it is said that god speaks to man through the medium
of dreams and makes himself known through vision if god makes himself known to you through vision
and speaks to you in dream what is more important than to remember your dreams and visions
you can't compare the morning's paper or any book you may read to your vision of the night for that
is an instruction from the depth of yourself god in you speaks to you in a dream as he did
to me when he took me up on a trip in time to that beautifully staffed mansion at the turn of
the century as spirit i was invisible to those present but i heard more distinctly than they
and comprehended the words more graphically than they because they had their millions and who is
going to tell one who already has millions how to get them i entered their environment to hear
their story in order to share it with those who will hear and believe my words and then try it
this doesn't mean that just because you heard my vision you are going to enjoy wealth
you must apply what you heard and remember when if you would say i remember when i couldn't afford to
spend 400 a month for rent you are implying you can well afford it now the words i remember when
it was a struggle to live on my monthly income applies you have transcended that limitation
you could put yourself into any state by remembering when you can remember when your friend
expressed her desire to be married by remembering when she was single you are persuading yourself
that your friend is no longer in that state as you have moved her from one state into another
when i say all things exist in the human imagination i mean infinite states for everything
possible for you to experience now exists in you as a state of which you are its operant power only
you can make a state become alive you must enter a state and animate it in order for it to outpicture
itself in your world you may then go back to sleep and think the objective fact is more real than its
subjective state into which you have entered but may i tell you all states exist in the imagination
when a state is entered subjectively it becomes objective in your vegetative world
where it will wax and wane and disappear but its eternal form will remain forever and can
be reanimated and brought back into being through the seed of contemplated thought so i tell you the
most creative thing in you is to enter a state and believe it into being now causation is the
assemblage of mental states which occurring creates that which the assemblage implies
let's say i have two friends who would empathize with me not sympathize if they heard my good news
i put them together and listen all in my imagination as they talk about me and what
has happened in my life being true friends i hear their words of joy and see their happiness
reflected on their faces then i allow myself to become visible to them and feel their hands shake
and embrace as i accept their congratulations as a fact now i have assembled a mental state
which occurring created that which the assemblage implied therefore i am its cause

as i walk firmly believing in the reality of what i have done and that imaginal act becomes a fact i
may question myself as to how it came about then remembering my imaginal act i would say i did it
if i did it then did not god do it yes because god and i are one i am
are you going to continue to believe there is another on the outside or are you going to believe
the great confession of faith which i would urge you to accept it's the great shema hear o israel
the lord our god the lord is one if the lord is one he can't be two therefore if his name is i
am and you say i am you must be one with the lord who brought the world into being
listen to these words by faith we understand that the world was created by the word of god
so that things that are seen were made out of things which do not appear
here we see that the word of god is an imaginal activity which joined by faith created the world
and faith is nothing more than the subjective appropriation of an objective hope
now when you discuss your desire with me you cannot see my imaginal act relative to you if you
tell me you need a job and i accept that thought when i think of you i remember your need but if i
changed your words and heard you tell me you loved your job i could remember when you needed one for
now my memory bank contains the fact that you have a job you like very much and when we meet again
you tell me that you have it you are only bringing confirmation of my imaginal creative act
now if imagination works this way and it proves itself in the testing time and time again
what does it matter what the world thinks it costs you nothing to try it
and what a change in life it will produce for you try it for you will prove it in performance
this may be in conflict with what you believe god to be
maybe you still want him to be someone on the outside so that there are two of you and not one
that's all right if you do but i tell you god became you that there would not be you and god
he became you that you may become god if god became you his name must be in you
and it is for if i ask you anything you must first be aware of the question before you can respond
and your awareness is god you may not be aware of who you are where you are or what you are but you
do know that you are aware of what your senses and reason dictate you may believe that you
are limited unwanted ignored and mistreated and your world confirms your belief in your
imaginal activity and if you do not know that your awareness is causing this mistreatment
you will blame everyone but yourself yet i tell you the only cause of the phenomena of life is an
imaginal activity there is no other cause if you believe in the horrors of the world as they are
given to you in the paper and on television your belief causes the horrors to continue
believing the news of a shortage you will buy what you do not need
blindly accepting the pressure to perpetuate an imaginal activity that keeps you frightened
all through scripture you are told to let not your heart be troubled be not afraid and fear
not if fear could be eliminated there would be no need for psychologists and psychiatrists
i say to everyone the whole vast world is now in your human imagination and you can bring any
desire out of it by believing it into being first you must know what you want then create an image
that fulfills it would your friends know and talk about it imagine they are with you now discussing
your fulfilled desire you could be at a cocktail or dinner party that's being given in your honor
or maybe it's a little get together over tea create a scene in your mind's eye and believe
it's reality in that invisible state will produce the objective state you desire for all objective
reality is solely produced by imagination the clothes you are now wearing were first imagined
the chair in which you are seated the room that surrounds you there isn't a thing here that wasn't
first imagined so you can see that imagining creates reality if you don't believe it you are
lost in a world of confusion there is no fiction what is fiction today will be a fact tomorrow
a book written as a fictional story today comes out of the imagination of the one who wrote it
and will become a fact in the tomorrows if you have a good memory or a good research system
you could find today's facts not every fact is recorded because not every thought is written
yet every person imagines a man feeling wrongfully imprisoned and desiring to get even
will disturb the world because all things by a law divine and one another's being mingle you
can't stop the force that comes from one who is imagining because behind the mask he wears you
and he are one start now to become aware of what you are thinking for as you think you imagine only
then can you steer a true course to your definite end if you lose sight of that end however you can
and will be moved by seeming others but if you keep your mind centered in the awareness of
dwelling in your destination you cannot fail the end of your journey is where your journey begins
when you tell me what you want do not try to tell me the means necessary to get it because
neither you nor i know them just tell me what you want that i may hear you tell me that you have it
if you try to tell me how your desire is going to be fulfilled i must first rub that thought
out before i can replace it with what you want to be man insists on talking about his problems
he seems to enjoy recounting them and cannot believe that all he needs to do is state his
desire clearly if you believe that imagination creates reality you will never allow yourself
to dwell on your problems for you will realize that as you do you perpetuate them all the more
so i tell you the greatest thing you can do is to believe a thing into existence
now if you keep this law you don't have to broadcast what you want
you simply assume that you have it for although your reasonable mind and outer senses deny it
if you persist in your assumption your desire will become your reality
there is no limit to your power of belief and all things are possible to him who believes
just imagine what an enormous power that is you don't have to be nice good or wise for anything
neville goddard | claim it and forget about how it will manifest | best method | law of attraction | how to manifest | the law of attraction | Law of Attraction | Neville Goddard lecture | your youniverse
is possible to you when you believe that what you are imagining is true that is the way to success
i believe any man who has been successful in his life's venture has lived as though he were
successful living in that state he can name those who aided him in achieving his success and he may
deny that he was always aware of success but his awareness compelled the aid he received
to believe your desire into being is to exercise the wonderful creative power that you are
we are told in the very first psalm blessed is the man who delights in the law of the lord and all
that he does he prospers this law as explained in the sermon on the mount is psychological
you have heard it said of old thou shalt not commit adultery but i say unto you anyone who
lusts after a woman has already committed the act of adultery with her in his heart
here we discover that it is not enough to restrain the impulse on the outside adultery is committed
the moment the desire is thought knowing what you want gear yourself towards it for the act was
committed in the wanting faith must now be added for without faith it is impossible to please god
can you imagine a state and feel that your imaginal act is now a fact
it costs you nothing to imagine in fact you are imagining every moment in time but not consciously
but may i tell you if you use your creative power by imagining a desire is already fulfilled when
you get it the circumstances will seem so natural that it will be easy to deny your imagination had
anything to do with it and you could easily believe that it would have happened anyway
but if you do you will have returned to sleep once again first of all most of us do not even
realize our own harvest when it confronts us and if we do remember that we once imagined it
reason will tell us it would have happened anyway reason will remind you that you met
a man seemingly by accident at a cocktail party who was interested in making money
when he heard your idea he sent you to see his friend and look what happened so really it would
have happened anyway then of course it's easy to ignore the law but blessed is the man who delights
in the law of the lord and all that he does he prospers don't forget the law while you were
living in this world of caesar and apply it wisely but remember you are not justified by its use
justification comes through faith you must have faith in the incredible story that god
promised to bring himself out of you as you this is god's promise to all
and all are asked to believe it it is not what you are but what you trust god to do that saves you
and to the degree that you trust god to save you you will be saved but he has given us a
psychological law to cushion the inevitable blows of life the law is simple as you sow
so shall you reap it is the law of like begets like as you imagine so shall your life become
knowing what you want assume the feeling that would be yours if you had it persist in that
feeling and in a way you do not know and could not devise your desire will become a fact grandfather
made his fortune by standing on an empty lot and saying to himself i remember when this was an
empty lot then he would paint a beautiful word picture of the structure he desired there this
is a wonderful technique you can remember when you were unknown penniless and ill or a failure
remembering when you were implies that you are no longer that and your power is in its implication
use the law and it will take you from success to success as you conceive success to be as far as
i am concerned success is to fulfill the promise and you cannot do that through the law the promise
is fulfilled through faith are you holding true to the faith examine yourself to see if you are
i have told you an eternal story believe it but do not change it the story is this god
became you that you may become god use the law to cushion the blows while god keeps his promise
and then one day when your journey is over you will say into thy hands i commit my spirit thou
hast redeemed me o lord faithful god that's the cry on the cross commit your spirit to your
imaginal act relax and fall asleep knowing its redemption is assured then when you least
expect it god will prove to you that he has redeemed you by awakening in you as you then
you will be born not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man but of god
