Neville Goddard The Art Of Imagining

welcome to the reality revolution I'm your host Brian Scott and today we are going to return to the lovely world of neville goddard for a lecture that i had not heard anywhere from his own recordings and it is absolutely magnificent of course we go back to imagining the real point here that I want to make when we talk about imagination becoming a reality is the baseball metaphor when you're creating reality it is you swing at the ball and you miss 30% of the time you might hit it it's an art it's like learning to play an instrument Neville Goddard uses that metaphor and analogy all the time there's an art to it once you realize what you've created you can go back and fine-tune your reality and that's how I've experienced it in my own life but also understanding the way your subconscious mind works and how you're always creating reality at all times even when you don't think you are so neville goddard has a wonderful lecture about this delivered on may 11th 1965 the art of imagining [Music] tonight is the art of imagining I hope you will listen carefully and apply it it will not fail you every natural effect in this world has an imaginal cause the natural effect is only seeming it's an illusion I don't care what the effect is the most normal natural thing in this world and the reason why we do not recognize that it is produced by some imaginal or you could use the word spiritual cause is because that our memory is so fading is so short we can't relate the thing that is taking place physically to anything we did in some imaginal moment and so if one could only believe that we're not contending as Paul said against flesh and blood meaning the natural world we're not contending against flesh and blood but against this darkness the present darkness Ephesians 6:12 what does he mean by this present darkness it means our ignorant of these invisible spiritual causes so we contend not against the flesh and blood but against spiritual darkness then he invites us to take the sword the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God and then he tells us to pray at all times in the spirit now how would I take this instruction given to us in Scripture and apply it in a practical manner last Sunday night a couple of friends were home for dinner I must tell you the story that you may appreciate how this thing works they both worked at RCA that is the showroom that RCA had in LA one was in the Whirlpool division the other in the TV division the one who was in the TV division is still there and he's been there for years the one who was in the Whirlpool division was there for two years and he worked honestly and faithfully up to the end of last year all through the great rush at Christmas he was on the job his sales record was terrific everything was perfect then came New Year's Eve and he was paid off and told that that was the end of his service after two years there this chap from Duke University he's an intelligent fellow he worked for years downtown with Gulf Industries and then after almost 13 years he quit he was tired of it took off a few months then got this job with RCA he's only forty years old he will be 40 his next birthday and after two years at RCA doing a wonderful job he was fired well Sunday night at home he asked me this question he said Neville when we create reality as you say imagining creates reality must we always do it consciously deliberately or can we do it without knowing that we're doing it well may I tell you you can't stop doing it it's not only in the waking day it's through the night there is only one creative power and that is your own wonderful human imagination so then he told me this story he said we live together as you know we have a home in Eagle Rock that's our home we have two cars but when I got the job I would drive to work taking Bob with me for a week and the next week he would drive and drive me so we had a saving of car saving of gas saving of everything but it was bumper-to-bumper we would take the Santa Ana freeway and I would simply despair we got the job at 8 o'clock in the morning and we left we took only a half-hour for lunch so they gave us a half-hour off in the evening so we could simply get home a bit earlier instead of taking a whole hour but we had to be on the job at 8:00 well when Bob drove and this was bumper-to-bumper many a time I don't only thought of it I've voiced it to him and I said oh I wish we were turning off here and going downtown instead of turning this way and taking the Santa Ana freeway so I said to him but many a day as I rode next to him I would as we came to the junction I mentally would turn off and I would turn towards downtown LA now said he I was so shocked when they fired me no one told me anything there was no rumor but the order came through from Chicago that this department must give up one person they went all over the country they had their biggest financial year in the history of RCA last year their biggest they paid higher dividends made more money they had all kinds of things that they didn't have in previous years but that doesn't in any way affect these so-called experts efficiency experts so they are brought in and they take this billion-dollar corporation and they go through the entire thing and then they analyze the departments and this department can give up one man this can give up three that can give up 12 this all comes down from Chicago and it goes across the country so that here on the west coast they had no alternative they had to execute the order that came out from headquarters well he was the last employed in this department therefore the first to go his job was perfect his sales record was excellent and an honest wonderful marvelous lad going on 40 he was shocked beyond measure and when he told me he was fired he didn't quit he didn't know what to say I couldn't tell him then I waited now that he has the job and he brought it up to me last Sunday night this suddenness on his part he was fired suddenly no warning whatsoever was only the emergence of a hidden continuity now how to find that hidden continuity where was the cause the cause upon the surface is physical it came from Chicago that this efficiency expert went over all the field and concluded that this department could save money by giving up one man could get along without one man and that one without so and so and on the surface it seemed but the cause was the decision made by a man in Chicago wasn't so at all when Bob got to that Junction on a morning after two years then he lost himself in a daydream and more kept on driving towards RCA but Bob enjoyed the ride and moved downtown well I've said time and again the potency of the imaginal act is its implication that's the potency of the imaginal act well what turning downtown would imply would it not imply that he is not working at RCA he either quit the job or he was fired but it would imply he is not working at RCA well he enjoyed these imaginal journeys where he was not bumper-to-bumper on the Santa Ana freeway then came the sudden emergence of what he had planted so Paul is right we are contending not against flesh and blood but against this time of darkness we are totally unaware of what we are doing not what he is doing the one who wrote out that decision and sent it off to LA that he was the one who had to be fired he wasn't the cause he had to write it and so he is undoubtedly honored by the company for saving so many salaries if you multiply all their outlets and he could say one to a dozen at each of these outlets it would run into a fortune in spite of what they made they made more than they ever made before but that is not the problem the problem is are we contending against flesh and blood is he going to fight the boss and say to the boss why did you fire me or is he going to recognize the cause of it well tonight what thrills me Bob now recognizes the cause of it because he came over during the evening and he said must I always deliberately determine my imaginal Act or could I do it unwittingly just without reality considering the consequences could I set it in motion well he asked the question and before I could answer him he smiled he's not only found Christ he knows Christ people think Christ is something in space something in time 2,000 years ago Christ is your own wonderful human imagination Christ is the creative power and wisdom of God there is no other creative power personified in Scripture as a man certainly it's a man for the creative power of God takes a man as its agent to express love give me a man to express hate give me a man to express anything in this world I need a man so a man personifies the creative power and the wisdom of God has told us in Paul's letter to the Corinthians Jesus Christ the power and wisdom of God 1:24 so here is the personification the world not knowing this will take him for a little icon and make some little fetish of it and they worship something outside of themselves and they go to church and cross themselves before a little cross of wood or stone some little precious metal and call it Jesus Christ and the whole vast world with just a few I mean just a few so we were discussing last Saturday night at another dinner party and a friend of mine who isn't here tonight he said Neville Why should there be so few people in this audience hearing this fantastic thing that you're talking about well he happens to be a PhD so I said to him tell me there are three and a half billion people in the world how many PhDs are there well he had to admit fewer percentage-wise than possibly I'd get in the course of a year there are fewer people who can claim they have a PhD than I address in the course of a year so then he came to his senses that you can't judge by numbers it's not numbers do you really believe that you are contending not against flesh and blood but against this kind of darkness where you are completely unaware of the creative power that is yours that you are causing all of the phenomena of your life you fire yourself but it seems to come from Chicago that was the order from Chicago and expressed through your immediate boss in your department and you were surprised because your memory is so short you forgot you set it in motion you didn't know what you were doing when you relaxed as your friend Mort took the car down the freeway towards RCA and you relaxed and imagined you were going towards downtown LA which you know so well because you worked for Gulf Industries for almost 13 years you knew all the restaurants all the places all the people while he's now working for único which is almost a neighbor of Gulf industries with all the old friends and the restaurants and all the places that he knew so well that is exactly where he headed in his imagination so there are two powers one the inner motive which is causal and the outer which is under compulsion so everything that happened to him had to happen the order the direction the firing and the only thing that well he was surprised that he was fired an honest worker with a wonderful sales record but what thrills me that last Sunday night he could say to me do we always have to set this thing in motion deliberately or could we do it unwittingly now he knows if he only remembers what he said to me last Sunday night if man could only remember the awakening man always remembers and he watches carefully exactly what he is doing in his imagination well that's the entire world you are creating everything in your world and no one else is doing it [Music] there are only instruments through which you are expressing this enormous power so the natural effect is only seeming it always has an imaginal cause it always does so if you bear that in mind you will never be surprised no matter what happens to us somewhere along the line you did it my father came home broken a really broken man I'm going back now oh I was just in my teens only two were out of school and the eight remaining were still in school that's how long ago that was no one knew certainly I didn't mother didn't know he didn't know no one knew why it should happen to him on reflection I realize now what an ambitious man my father was he started with nothing I mean nothing in the most literal sense of the word behind the eight-ball but he had ten children and he assumed all responsibility he never once shifted responsibility not my father he would go hungry but his family couldn't go hungry not that he did go hungry but he would have that's the kind of man that he was we were never conscious of the fact that we were poor so in our consciousness he never built poverty in our minds we had nothing but we didn't know it well if you don't know it then you don't have it so we were never made aware that we were poor never not for one second in fact my mother would say to any one of us who did something unbelief er gotten that you were a Goddard you never questioned your mother guess you forgot there for Goddard must be something important but it wasn't on reflection it wasn't but she made it important so where was the cause was it not in the belief that to bear the name of Goddard being the child of Joseph and Wilhelmina Goddard was important where they're all judged by human standards they're all important no one locally is strong enough financially to buy them out there's no one locally but no one who could buy them out because no one has 25 million dollars to buy them out and they didn't have a penny but mother built it into our consciousnesses have you forgotten you our Goddard I can see it now on a Sunday morning when I should have been in church what possessed me that morning that I didn't go because mother corralled us all and Here I am sitting on the outside without shoes and just a little shirt my father came down and he got off the car and he saw me and the first act was one whack across the face a son of his on a Sunday morning not in church and sitting here on the street without shoes and an enormous blow could have deafened me but that was his attitude towards this building in us the feeling of being important isn't that all imagination he had nothing but not in his own mind's eye he had nothing in the world of Caesar today those that he trained and left in the world they can't be bought out by any local company because they don't have enough money to buy them out well that's what I'm getting at concerning this wonderful fantastic law of imagining we are not contending against flesh and blood so he is important all right let him be important not a things wrong with that he can fire you no he can't not a thing can happen to you unless in you you first let it happen so you can dream as Bob dreamt and may I tell you he wanted more money and greater responsibility than he got at RCA at RCA he got more money than he received at Gulf industries after 13 years at Gulf today he's getting more than he got at RCA and greater responsibility he has an office staff of maybe 25 girls under him taking care of the credits for the company único you don't know of it I didn't know it till he told me they make or manufacture or distribute all kinds of electrical can openers every conceivable electrical can opener so they are running into all kinds of things where the credits were all jammed up and he came in and in just one month he resolved the whole picture he's making more money with greater responsibility than he had at his previous company that's what he wanted he was going downtown to a new place where all these things would be in order so I asked you to believe me I know that you believe it but you'll go out and tell it to others who still believe in some little personal Jesus Christ a little man may I tell you they're not just in the little walks of life you'll meet them as great scientists you'll meet them in every walk because they specialize in their own game and they hold on to a certain little icon - because they don't know they haven't had the visions they haven't had the experience so you will not just find this superstition among people who wash your floors no you will find it in every walk of life from the Pope down may I tell you they haven't had the experience so they don't know this mighty power that is housed in them and not on the outside and when it begins to unfold because you are exercising it then comes the most glorious drama as it unfolds within you you will see in what I've told you so far that conflict between David and Goliath Goliath depended upon the armament of the world to achieve his end and David went unarmed armed only with the Word of God that's all he had just the Word of God and brought down those who would oppose him with armaments of Caesar you try it try it and see how it works I tell you it will not fail here's the wonderful story of william butler yeats he said I thought intently of a fellow student I had a message for him but I hesitated to write this message two days later I got a letter from a place several hundred miles away in the letter he said to me you appeared suddenly in a very large gathering of people in a hotel where I am and I said to you because of the crowd would you please leave now and return later and he said to me in the letter I vanished but I did return at midnight and gave him the message I had intended to give him that I would not commit to writing now said he william butler yeats in his essay called the essence of good and evil and this is the section called magic you can buy the book or rent the book go to the library and read it it's under the caption magic he said I have no knowledge whatsoever of that visit I do remember that I desired intensely to give him a message I also know I hesitated to commit it to writing but I have no knowledge of my visit to him and no knowledge of my appearance and my return to give him the message but he enclosed in his letter to me the message now is that not imagination what did it he's thinking of a friend he intensely desires to tell him something which he doesn't write but he has no knowledge that he appears seemingly to the friend in bodily form as solidly real as though he were in the flesh I have done it dozens of times to those he who wrote me I appeared to them by some intensity of imagination I appear to them and they saw me at the moment I didn't have any knowledge I have a few where I do recall deliberately doing it with my sister and with a few others but with the majority it was all done without any conscious knowledge of my projection in space and time but it was still all imagination so you are influencing every being in this world to play the part they must play to bring to birth what you are imagining so let us go back and pick up a thread that you must get tonight the imaginal power is in its implication what am i implying when I bring before my mind's eye a certain series or a certain I would say scene what does the scene imply I'm turning downtown downtown LA well that implies I'm not working at RCA does it not well you take the same cue and the power of the imaginal act is in its implication so tonight when you are alone whether you were in bed or just before you go to bed and you bring before your mind's eye a scene well now what does the scene imply are you going to argue with someone who owes you a dollar well that implies that he hasn't paid you are you going to tell him what you think of him that only affirms it it makes it all the more that he isn't going to pay you do you bring him before your mind's eye and thank him for having done what in the world of Caesar he has as yet not done everything is in the implication what is the scene that you are conjuring some of us don't even want to be paid that we may say to the one I always knew you wouldn't do anyway I mean that gives a certain emotional reaction a certain thrill and we delight in telling him that he's a thief without using the word thief so we can do that so the scene the power of that scene is its implication so it's not a little goodie this or goodie that or someone else forget it bow before no one in this world but no one as Blake brings out so beautifully that thou art a man God is no more thy own humanity learned to adore so when man would bow before a man because of something he's accomplished in this world forget him God became you individually the same God no other God there's only one God he became you he is housed in you when you say I am that's he when you begin to imagine that's his creative power and that act of imagining is Jesus Christ that's Christ now prove Jesus Christ as we are told do you not know that Jesus Christ is in you unless of course you fail to meet the test 2 Corinthians 13:5 so if you call upon the name of Jesus Christ you don't call upon the name of Jesus Christ you don't pray to Jesus Christ you simply confess the lordship of Jesus Christ well Jesus Christ being your own wonderful human imagination you confess the power and the wisdom and the lordship of Jesus Christ which is the power of God then this thing begins to unfold in you the whole thing unfolds within you everything I have told you is true it is all true I didn't hear it from a man I didn't read it in a book I read the Bible but I didn't see it until it happened in me [Music] that's how blind one becomes until it actually happened you can't quite envision it you can't quite see it until it happens and then it's so altogether different in retrospect from what it appeared to be in Prospect you thought of someone 2,000 years ago and you thought this is how it happened and it wasn't so at all it all is happening in you so you begin to actually put into practice what he who was sent and the one who is sent may I tell you the cue of it all is to encourage you to participate in the risen Christ not to talk about him to tell you about the one who slumbers in you that you may participate in his resurrection in you then you will know to what extent he really has been sent or is he simply playing a little part let no one talk down to you and tell you that you're simply blasphemous if one is sent he will tell you who you really are and the being you really are is God God became you that you may become God and the whole wonderful story as recorded in both the old New Testament is all about you I know in my own case I was a dreamer from the time I was a child I was a dreamer so when I was fired and I worked for JCPenney and one day like my friend Bob in my little envelope of a few pennies that's all that they gave you really you paid rent in those days luckily for me I wasn't renting I couldn't have bought one and I was a young boy 18 years old 19 when they fired me all I could buy was my vegetable dinner and milk on what they paid me then you were fired and you had not as you have today insurance against being fired you can draw it for weeks or months none of those things happened back in 1923 when I was fired so all of a sudden you're out you're fired but I was a dreamer I know today we're I not the dreamer I wouldn't have been fired I would be today running the elevator for them that's what I'd be doing I might have been the captain of the elevator operators all of a sudden they put it all into automation so I'd be out of a job anyway but because I dreamed like my father dreamed he dreamt of something more noble for his family and himself well I dreamt of something Noble didn't have a family then of my own just the family of my father but I dreamt of a noble state in this world and dreaming that way and losing myself in it I had to be fired so they fired me and with that being fired I went out determined that after a little while I wouldn't work for anyone else so I got a little job at Macy's I went to the boss and he sent me over to Macy's I got a job there and then I quit Macy's they didn't fire me worked there for ten months and I quit and from that day on to this I have never worked for another person oh yes I had Broadway shows I seemingly worked for them but when Schubert's employed me or all the others employed me who never occurred to me that they employed me I was using my talent so it never occurred to me that they were my boss I lost completely the concept of boss in fact if there is one word that I almost hate it's the word boss who has a boss so when in my daughter once spoke of her boss I can't tell you my reaction she works for a man who could tonight if he's dreaming well he could be fired he's no boss she has no boss in fact no one has a boss in this world the only boss is God and you are he he became you you are God God became man that man may become God does he have a boss he has no boss so and your own wonderful imagination dream nobly and try to catch that which Bob did there was motion it was an internal motion an internal motion really is causal the external is under compulsion so all the outer motions like riding this decision to fire him or one of them he was the one and all these things that happened to him all that was under compulsion and he was the compulsive being that did it but what thrilled me last Sunday night when he came over from his chair and set at the base of mine and said tell me must I always to apply this principle of imagining do it deliberately do it knowingly because this is what I did Neville so he answered himself I can't tell anyone might thrill when those who hear me find the secret by their own experience it seemed to him at the moment to be disastrous so he was fired but he's under the present system of an unemployment insurance he has his home not completely paid off but it's well paid off he's meeting all the payments on it and his friend the two of them own the home together and so he went down and got what he's due he pays on it after all every penny he draws when he goes to get it he paid for it why shouldn't he get it I see nothing wrong with going and getting it you've paid in over the years on all that they're asking of you so he goes and gets it and then one morning he decides in fact I was with him the day the phone rang at home and they had been trying to get him at único come and see us tomorrow for some examination or some interview so he went down and started the next month he's making more money greater responsibility which is so important in this world just responsibilities I can't tell anyone what a thrill it is to bear responsibility when people say I don't want it oh they don't know what it is if it's only to buy the food for your wife that she doesn't have to do it if it's only that if it's only the clothes she wears at least you're going to pay for it just responsibility when man tries to shirk these things he doesn't know what he's missing in this world so I tell you go out God became you that you may become God and God in you is your own wonderful human imagination so you go out and try it and may I tell you no matter what is asked of you do grant it if it comes within the code of your that is your wonderful ethical code of decency no matter what request you're not a doctor if anyone calls you and asks any help of you that is of a physical nature financial nature you aren't a banker you don't know a thing about these things you can still grant it there are three and a half billion people in the world who are our agents for you the surgeon is one agent the dentist is an agent the banker is an agent there are all agents to fulfill what you have imagined has happened so you simply imagine this happened and you lose yourself in the joy of the fulfillment of their request now when it happens they may tell you you know what happens it happens this way and that way and the other and they will give you all of the means through which it happens but you are still faithful I hope you will be to the cause it's the cause who ran through the means so the means he was fired that's means he was disappointed he didn't remember then he took off for a while enjoyed himself and then this request comes all that is part of it for it would not be complete until he got a job paying more with greater responsibility that was the flower that was the fulfillment it's not just being fired going down the road he wasn't just going down the road to escape bumper to bumper he was going down this place because he was going down town to a better job that paid more with greater responsibility so that's what he was doing in his imagination as his friend Mort drove the car if he's trying to run away he'd be fired from another job but he lost himself in a more glorious end so let everyone here take the same technique and apply it you are not a little ISM maybe you'll say today if someone asks you what are you or who are you you'll say I'm a Christian or I'm a Jew or I'm not this really if you aren't I wouldn't know what to tell you that you really are because you aren't you are something infinitely greater than any little ism in this world infinitely greater and all these little isms will all pass away all vanish into nothing meaning nothing but if you really have one grand book that we really I would say worship let it be the Bible turn over any page and it fires the mind but any page today I simply turned it over and here I spoke earlier from the sixth chapter of Ephesians we are not contending against flesh and blood but against this time of darkness yes I am unaware of the cause of the phenomena of life so this is a darkness now he tells us pray at all times in the spirit well to pray is to move towards my objective to actually exceed to it to get close get near till finally I can touch it that's to pray when he Bob was riding down and finally he could touch downtown knowing the area is what he wants and it carries with it more money and greater responsibility and finally he finds a job there that's praying you don't pray to Jesus you only confess the authority the power the lordship of your wonderful human imagination and then you exercise it as you exercise it you are putting into practice the story of Christ let no one tell you you can't do it you can do it and do it now all that is told us in the promise will begin like unfolding buds into their flowers it all unfolds within you and you will know by the unfolding tree that you are he you are not another you are Jesus Christ begin now to believe it to exercise him and see how these things begin to unfold within you at the end of these lectures never we would give two minutes of silence as I will do in this one and I will have questions and answers after that two minutes now let us go into the silence [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] question Nevel what does wiser than serpents mean and the Dove answer my dear I wish I could in this short interval answer that the serpent to me is the symbol of Jesus Christ you can't be wiser because he's the power and the wisdom of God it has always symbolized the power and wisdom of God like the Seraphim around the throne they were the fiery serpents but in the early stage of the Bible as we read it in Scripture power and power alone is God the difference between God and man as he walks earth was measured by power almighty power the Dove has always been a symbol of love the holy spirit of tenderness so you could exercise power no question about it without love but the greatest power really is when tempered with love the greatest because in the end there is no other if you are a lady I am a man and I know you and I are one I'm not speculating and you are not female and I am NOT a male you and I will one day know we are above the organization of sex Luke 20 34 we are man and God is man I know that I know that every being in this world is one with me therefore they have to respond to my action because my finger responds if I say write this it can't question my right if I want to brush my hair my hair can't deny my right to brush it and so my hand if I want to use it to bring food to my mouth it can't resist because it's tired so the whole vast world is myself and must respond and play the part necessary to bring to pass what I am in the end all or one all the father this thing is so altogether true you asked about the Dove in the 8th chapter of Genesis here the Dove returns and he Noah puts out his hand and takes the Dove and brings the Dove within the ark to himself that is so literally true that well who would believe it unless they experienced it when the Dove does appear it appears above seemingly outside it is outside hovering above you do put forth your hand you do and the Dove does descend and uses your finger as a perch and you do bring it to yourself and the Dove smothers you and kisses while he is smothering you and kisses and the voice at the side tells you of the affection of the Dove of this being for you everything disappears didn't fly back it can't fly back it remains you are sealed with the Holy Spirit that simple story he put forth his hand and took the Dove and brought the Dove into the ark unto himself well man is the Ark of God as Blake said man is either the Ark of God or a phantom of the earth and sea but he's not any phantom of the earthen sea he is the Ark of God containing with himself the whole vast universe question Nevel the woman at the well Jacob's Well who doesn't have a husband is this indicative of the symbology of not knowing that her maker is her husband is that the story being told there yes tom we are the woman as we are told in Hosea in that day you will call me not Baal you will call me my husband and in Isaiah the fifth of Isaiah your maker is your husband the Lord of Hosts is his name fifty four five so here we do not know we have gone astray and the Bible idolatry is really harlotry its adultery adultery hasn't a thing to do with sex all the so called sex thing is churchianity it isn't scripture and so when a person goes away from the only God which is I am he may go to church every day and all through the day and give his substance to the church and give fortunes to charity and if he has some other God than I am he is really living in adultery you tell that to the good people of the world and they'll just faint from the shock of it because they have every God in this world but that God and so adultery is simply idolatry and idolatry is to have another God so she doesn't know that is we don't know who our husband is because he has to beget this child when I know my husband and I'm faithful to my only husband I'll bring forth his only child can't be another when I have faith in things other than my own wonderful human imagination and I think someone else is important I will say to my friend know who I saw today he was having lunch he doesn't know me from a hole in the wall but I mention his name because I think he is important or he could help me who can help me what person in this world can I turn to and say he is going to help me he will play a part and may seem to be the instrument through which the thing came that I have imagined but he is not any cause of my fortune whether it be good or poor he's not the cause I must find the only cause and the only cause is my imagination all the others play their parts certainly they'll play their parts but how many times have you heard people say who do you think I saw today and they're all heirs whom did you see then they tell you some highly-publicized person who the press agent has paid a fortune to keep alive in the press they go this way and all they do they come into the world as we are told we're made subject unto futility not willingly but by the will of him who subjected us in hope Romans 8:22 they come into the world and the publicity gets behind them and they wax they wane they vanish I read in yesterday morning's paper all the big names of just two years ago not one can you sell today on TV they don't know it yet of course they know it but they can't tell the world that they know it you'll find them having residuals but you can't sell them why not because they still aren't known to my generation but the next generation they don't know or care they just don't know so they turn them off turn on something else they're only going to sell what can get the viewers eye they mention all these I do not mention names but there it was in that family section of the LA Times they mention all the names and you can't give them away nobody wants them yet they were stars in their own eyes but today that's part of one's imagining you begin to dream nobly and let everyone play its part to fulfil your dream and keep on dreaming but may I tell you don't forget the promise don't forget the promise a lady wrote me and I took the letter home and read it a week ago tonight she said you are closing at the end of June would you please from now on tell us about the law on Tuesday nights I can't make it on Fridays so would you please tell us about the law well I mentioned that to a friend last Saturday night at a dinner party and one of the guests present said well after all if the promise is unconditional it will happen anyway well then why not tell us all about the condition state and he's right about the law tonight i abided by the request I have spoken only about the law but I am NOT pledged to speak only about the law between now and closing goodnight and that is the art of imagining I loved it fantastic new stories that we get I love the idea of driving somewhere else on your way to work because I as I was reading this for the second time I remembered in my own life that's exactly what happened to me I used to work in the mortgage industry and I'd have to get up super early on an early shift and wake up and I would drive from Orange County to Los Angeles it was a long drive every day I remember taking this long drive and every time I would spend these long drives I would imagine working from my home but I had been in the mortgage business for a long time I was in sales I did a lot of that and so it was I'd get there and it would be a long workday and I would go home and it might have paid okay for a little while but it was a long drive so then the mortgage industry collapsed and everything changed and I had to work from home and it felt like I had been fired from my job because the mortgage industry collapsed it was in that same feeling but I had imagined staying home and as I stayed at home I began to see items that I could sell and I started selling items in a unique in different ways and started my own business and was able to continue to stay at home and over time finally crafted a reality slowly and it was an art it was hit and miss and I got better and better at it as I realized every step of the way I was picking the highway that I chose to the reality that I want to live in my book the reality revolution I described parallel universes with this analogy that we are all on a highway and to your right and left are multiple highways of different futures for you and when you get into another highway that other highway still keeps on going and they're all around us and these roads were built long ago in fact as I continue to think about it all through my life I've always imagined living in different places and the implication always ended up causing a change in my reality the implication is a word that was used multiple times in this lecture and it's important to remember that what does the action that you're remembering imply everybody wants a specific reality and they try to imagine something specifically imagine a reality that implies the change that you want to see I remember I was living in Denver and I was imagining not thinking that it was going to happen but just lovingly imagining being back in California oh how crazy the universe was to bring me back to California because I lived there and moved back to Denver I love Denver but I was just daydreaming about being on the beach in California and being at home and it wasn't soon after I was in a different state literally a different state which is all symbolic to me have you changed the job that you're in or the place that you live by just imagining or daydreaming it's such a common thing and it may have happened to you more than you know go back and look at the different times that you've changed jobs or that you've changed places that you live and think of the original cause and you'll find it in any case I hope that this inspires you continue to work on your imagination because it is an art and there are so many artists in the world there are some fantastic ones and when art gets good it doesn't matter there's no competition between the art your reality is your reality you choose what you want you are God you are all-powerful so begin to create and have fun with it it's a beautiful song you're not waiting for the song to end you're in the flow of the song the song would be useless if you just listen to the very end of it enjoy the song as it plays and that is your own wonderful human imagination all episodes of the reality revolution can be found at the reality revolution dot-com welcome to the reality revolution the one book
