Neville Goddard - Don't Force Anything: It Will Come To You

my dear friends I want you to clear your mind of all preconceptions forget everything you think you know about how the world Works about cause and effect about struggle and achievement for the next hour or so I invite you to open yourself to a new understanding a new way of being in the world that is as effortless as it is powerful the world you see around you the circumstances of your life the very fabric of your reality all of this is nothing more than an outward projection of your inner State of Consciousness your thoughts your

beliefs your assumptions about yourself and the world these are the true creators of your experience now many of you may have heard this before you may even intellectually accept it as true but tonight I want you to go beyond me intellectual understanding I want you to feel this truth in the very marrow of your bones for it is only when you truly internalize this principle that you can begin to grasp the immense power that lies dormant within you consider for a moment the natural world around us does a seed struggle to become a tree does

it strain and push against the soil forcing itself to grow of course not the seed simply is and in being it becomes it contains within itself the perfect pattern of its full expression and given the right conditions it naturally and effortlessly grows into that expression you my dear friends are no different you two contain within you the seed of your desires the perfect pattern of your ideal life and just like the seed you do not need to force your desires into being you need only to provide the right conditions for their natural unfoldment but what

are these conditions you may ask they are nothing more nothing less than your State of Consciousness your thoughts your feelings your beliefs these are the soil in which the seeds of your desires take root and grow now let us delve deeper into what it means to force things in your life when you force you are operating from a place of lack of desperation you're saying to the universe I do not have what I want and I must struggle and strive to get it but in doing so you are affirming the very lack you seek to

overcome think about it if you truly believe that you already possess what you Des desire would you need to force it of course not you would simply relax into the knowing that it is already yours this my friends is the great secret the feeling of the wish fulfilled the absolute conviction that what you desire is already yours this is the key that unlocks the door to your desires but how you may Wonder can we cultivate this feeling of the wish fulfilled how can we convince ourselves of something that does not yet appear to be true

in our alter world world the answer lies in the power of your imagination your imagination dear ones is not some frivolous faculty for daydreaming it is the very Workshop in which your reality is forged what you imagine with feeling with conviction becomes the blueprint that your utter world must inevitably conform to so instead of forcing instead of struggling and striving I urge you to use your imagination create a scene in your mind that implies the Fulfillment of your desire make it as Vivid and as real as you possibly can engage all your senses feel the

joy the satisfaction the gratitude that would be yours if your desire were already fulfilled is the crucial part you must persist in this imaginal act you must return to it again and again not with effort or strain but with the calm assurance that what you're imagining is in fact your reality now some of you may be thinking but Neville surely we must take action in the world to achieve our goals and to this I say yes action is indeed necessary but it is inspired action effortless action action that flows naturally from your change State of

Consciousness when you have truly assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled you will find that the right actions present themselves to you opportunities will appear as if by Magic the people and circumstances necessary for the realization of your desire will be drawn to you You by an invisible force this my friends is the law in operation it is not something external to you not some capricious force that must be appeased or manipulated it is simply the way Consciousness expresses itself in the world of let me give you an example to illustrate this principle imagine a

young man who desires to be wealthy if he operates from a consciousness of lack he might force himself to work long hours to scrimp and save every penny to pursue get-rich quick schemes he might even achieve a measure of financial success through these methods but at what cost his life becomes a constant struggle a NeverEnding battle against scarcity but suppose this same young man were to change his Consciousness suppose he were to assume the feeling of being wealthy he would imagine himself living in abundance enjoying Financial Freedom sharing his wealth generously he would persist in

this assumption until it became a conviction unknowing what would happen then he might be inspired to start a business that aligns perfectly with his talents and passions he might encounter a mentor who guides him to lucrative opportunities he might even receive an unexpected inheritance or windfall the specifics don't matter what matters is that his outer world would inevitably conform to his inner conviction of wealth all of this would unfold naturally effortlessly it would be no no need for Force no need for struggle the young man would simply follow the path that naturally opens up before

him Guided by his inner knowing of abundance this my dear friends is what I mean when I say don't force anything it's not about passivity or inaction it's about aligning yourself with the natural flow of life with the law that governs all things now I can hear some of you thinking but Neville what about the challenges and obstacles we face in life surely we must overcome these through effort and struggle you call challenges and obstacles are nothing more than the outp picturing of your own limiting beliefs and assumptions when you force against these apparent obstacles

you are in fact reinforcing the very Consciousness that created them you are saying to the universe yes this is real this is solid this is something I must fight against and in doing so you give it even more power over you but what if instead of forcing against these obstacles you were to Simply assume that they do not exist what if you were to live from the assumption that the pth to your desire is clear and or you would find much your amazement that the obstacles dissolve of their own accord or that Solutions present themselves

with ease and Grace remember my friends the outer world is nothing more than a shadow the reflection of your your inner State change the inner and the outer must follow now let's consider another aspect of this principle of not forcing many of you in your quest for spiritual growth and understanding may have encountered teachings that emphasize discipline effort and control you may have been told that you must force yourself to think positive thoughts that you must struggle against negative emotions that you must exert iron control over your mind but I say to you this too

is a form of forcing and it is ultimately counterproductive for in attempting to control your thoughts and emotions through sheer willpower you are implicitly affirming their power over you you are saying these thoughts these emotions are real and Powerful instead I urge you to Simply observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment without resistance see them for what they are States Of Consciousness that have no power other than that which you give them and then gently but firmly turn your attention to the state you wish to embody this is not forcing but allowing is not struggle

but surrender to your true self to the God within you that is the source of all creation let me share with you a personal experience that illustrates this principle many years ago when I first began to explore these truths I found myself in diof financial Straits bills were piling up creditors were calling and I could see no way out of my predicament my first instinct was to force of solution I worked longer hours I scried and saved I worried and Fred but the more I forced the worse my situation became it was as if the

universe was conspiring Against Me closing every door I tried to push open then in a moment of quiet desperation I remembered the truth I had been studying I realized that my outer circumstances were merely a reflection of my inner state of lack and limit ation and in that moment I made a decision to change my instead of focusing on my apparent lack I began to imagine myself as financially secure I created a scene in my imagination where I was paying my bills with ease where money flowed to me abundantly where I lived in a state

of Joyful Prosperity at first it felt like pretending but I persisted night after night I would fall asleep in this imaginal scene I would carry the feeling of financial abundance with me throughout my day I refused to be moved by the apparent facts of my outer world and then my friends the miracle occurred within a matter of weeks my financial situation began to change a business opportunity presented itself that I would never have noticed in my previous state of consciousness money began to flow from unexpected sources before I knew it all my debts were paid

and I was living in the very state of Prosperity I had imagined none of this required force or struggle on my part once I had changed my inner State the outer circumstances of my life rearranged themselves naturally effortlessly to match that state all I had to do was to follow the promptings of my intuition to take the inspired actions that naturally arose from my new State of Consciousness this my dear friends is the power that lies within each and every one of you you do not need to force your good into being you need only

to assume the feeling of already being doing or having that which you desire the rest will follow as naturally as day follows night now I can sense that some of you may be struggling with this concept you may be thinking but Neville I've tried to imagine my desires as fulfilled and nothing has changed am I doing something wrong be patient with yourself remember you are undoing a lifetime of Habitual thinking and feeling you are challenging deeply ingrained beliefs about the nature of reality itself this is no small task and it may take time and persistence

but do not mistake persistence for Force persistence is simply the consistent application of a principle it is returning again and again to the feeling of the wish fulfilled not with strain or effort but with calm Assurance think of it this way when you plant a seed in the ground you dig it up every day to see if it's growing of course not you trust in the natural process of growth you provide the right conditions water sunlight fertile soil and then you allow the seed to do what it naturally does your desires are like seeds planted

in the fertile soil of your Consciousness provide the right conditions the feeling of fulfillment the Assumption of already being what you wish to be and then allow the natural process of manifestation to unfold this allowing this trust in the law is the very opposite of forcing it is a state of relaxed awareness of knowing that what is yours must inevitably come to you now let us address another common misconception some of you may be thinking but Neville if I don't force things if I don't strive and struggle won't I become lazy and unproductive my dear

friends nothing could be further from the truth when you align yourself with the law when you live from the state of the wish fulfilled you will find yourself more energized more inspired more productive than ever before but it will be a different kind of productivity it will not be the Frantic activity of someone driven by fear and lack it will be the joyful purposeful activity of someone who knows their own power who trust in the perfect unfoldment of their good you see when you false you are operating from your limit Li mited egoic self you

are trying to make things happen through sheer willpower but when you allow when you trust in the law you are aligning yourself with the infinite power of your true self of the God within you and this power my friends is Limitless it knows no bounds it can accomplish in a moment what might take years of forced effort but it operates according to spiritual principles not Material ones it responds not to your actions but to your state of consciousness so I urge you let go of the need to force let go of the belief that struggle

and strain are necessary for achievement instead cultivate the art of allowing learn to live in the state of the wish fulfilled no matter what your alter circumstances may be telling you this is not always easy I know the world around you may seem to contradict your inner knowing at every turn but remember the outer world is only a shadow it is your inner world that is the reality the positive force stand firm in your assumption no matter what the evidence of your senses may tell you no matter what others may say hold fast to the

truth of your imaginal act for it is this and this alone that has the power to reshape your world now let me address a question that often arises when I speak of these principles some of you may be wondering but Neville what about the suffering in the world what about Injustice and inequality surely we must take action to change these things this we must take action but it must be inspired action action that Springs from a changed Consciousness for if we act from the same Consciousness that created these conditions we will only perpetuate them no

matter how Noble our intentions if you wish to change the world my friends you must first change yourself you must first embody the change you wish to see for the outer world is nothing more than a reflection of the inner states of the collective Consciousness imagine a world where every individual understood and applied these principles imagine a world where each person lived from the state of their wish fulfilled where no one felt the need to force or struggle or compete can you see how radically different such a world would be this my dear friends is

the great work to which we are all called it is not a work of outer reform but of inner trans formation it is not a work of force but of allowing the Divine pattern within each of us to unfold naturally and perfectly and make no mistake this work begins with you right here right now in this very moment you have the power to change your world by changing your Consciousness you have the power to let go of force and embrace the art of allowing so I challenge you my friends for the next week commit to

living from the state of your wish fulfilled choose one desire one change you wish to see in your life create a scene that implies the Fulfillment of this desire make it as Vivid and as real as you can then every night before you sleep enter into this scene feel it live it make it so real that when you open your eyes you're almost surprised to find yourself back in your present circumstances but don't stop there carry the feeling fulfillment with you throughout your day no matter what your outer World shows you hold fast to your

inner knowing Don't Force don't struggle simply allow and watch my friends watch how your world begins to change watch how doors open that you never knew existed watch how the very circumstances of your life rearrange themselves to match your new State of Consciousness this is the law and action this is the power that has been given to you that lies dormant within you waiting to be awakened remember you are not some helpless victim of circumstance you are not at the mercy of external forces you are the operating power in your world you are the god

of your Universe creating your reality with every thought every feeling every assumption so Choose Wisely my friends choose to live from the end choose to embody the state of your wish fulfilled choose to trust in the law to allow your good to Flow To You naturally and effortlessly for in this Choice lies your freedom in this Choice lies your power in this Choice lies the key to creating the life you truly desire and as we come to the close of our talk this evening I want to leave you with one final thought the principle we've

discussed Don't Force anything is not just a technique for manifesting your desires it is a way of life a state of being that aligns you with the very Rhythm of the universe when you seize to force when you learn to allow you open yourself to the infinite intelligence that pervades all things you become a channel through which the Divine can express itself in the world and in this state of allowance of surrender to your highest self you will find a peace and a joy that no outer circumstance can shake you will move through life with

Grace and ease knowing that all is well that all is unfolding perfectly according to the Divine pattern within you so go forth my dear friends and apply what you have learned let go of force embrace the art of allowing and watch as Miracles unfold in your life for you are the miracle you are the power you are the Divine made manifest thank you and may God bless you all I speak to you about the divine power of living alone the Magnificent state of being complete within yourself now you may think this contradicts what Society has

taught you about relationships and marriage but I tell you with complete conviction living alone is one of the highest states of being can achieve let me be perfectly clear when I speak of living alone I am not speaking of mere physical Solitude I speak of that glorious State of Consciousness where you recognize that you are complete whole and perfect exactly as you are for you see the world has sold you a lie a magnificent deception that you needed another to be complete but I tell you now you are already complete for you contain within yourself

all the powers of God consider the first words in scripture about man let us make man in our image notice it doesn't say let us make man and then give him someone else to make him complete No Man was created complete whole perfect in the image of God this is your natural state Your Divine inheritance many of you come to me speaking of loneliness of emptiness of the need for partnership but I tell you now these feelings arise not from being alone but from not recognizing your own completeness you are seeking outside yourself what can

only be found within the Kingdom of Heaven is within you not in another person let me share with you a principle that I have tested and proven countless times the state of living alone when properly understood and embraced is the most powerful State of Consciousness you can occupy for in this state you are not divided your energy is not scattered your focus is not diluted you are one with yourself one with god consider this when you are in a relationship where does your focus go it goes to the other person their needs their wants their

moves their expectations but when you live alone properly understanding this day your focus remains on the only creative power in existence your own wonderful human imagination now some of you might be thinking but nille isn't this self are we meant to share our lives with others let me be very clear there is no other what you see as others are aspects of yourself pushed out therefore when you focus on your own completeness you are actually expressing the highest form of love the recognition of the Divine in yourself I think about the great Mystics and Prophets

throughout history did they not often Retreat into Solitude did they not find their greatest Revelations when alone this was not by accident my dear friends they understood this principle that I share with you tonight that in solitude we find our true power let me explain this further when you live alone properly understanding the state you are not running from relationships you are not hiding from love instead you are claiming your Divine birthday of completeness you are saying to the universe I am complete I am whole I am sufficient unto myself consider the words of scripture

be still still and know that I am am god notice it doesn't say be still and know that we are God or be still and find someone else to make you God know it speaks of that individual recognition of your own divine nature this recognition comes most powerfully in solitude many of you spend your days seeking completion in relationships seeking happiness in Partnerships seeking fulfillment in romantic connections but I tell you now this is like seeking water in a Desert Mirage the water you seek is within you the love you seek is within you the

completion you seek is within you let me share with you profound truth that most of the world has missed when you truly Embrace living alone you experience a freedom that no relationship can provide this is not the freedom to do whatever you want though that certainly comes with it this is the freedom to be whoever you truly are without the distortions and compromises that relationships often demand think about it in a relationship how much of yourself do you compromise how many of your dreams do you modify how many of your desires do you supress but

when you live alone embracing the state fully you are free to be exactly who you are to pursue exactly what you desire to live exactly as you choose this is not about being selfish or uncaring rather it is about being true to your divine nature for how can you truly love others if you are not first true to yourself how can you give freely if you are constantly compromising your own truth let me share with you another principle that I have tested and proven the state of living alone when properly understood is the most powerful

manifestation State you can occupy for in this state your imagination is not cluttered with the thoughts beliefs and limitations of others your creative power flows purely and directly consider this when you are in a relationship how often do you modify your imaginal acts based on what your partner might think or want how often do you limit your dreams to accommodate their reality but when you live alone your imagination is free to swore to whatever Heights it chooses many of you feel living alone because you have been taught that it means being lonely but I tell

you now loneliness is a state of consciousness not a circumstance you can be surrounded by people and feel intensely lonely or you can be completely alone and feel deeply connected to all of life the secret is this when you truly Embrace living alone you discover that you are never truly alone for you are one with God one with all of creation this is not a philosophical concept this is a living reality that you can experience when you properly understand and embrace Solitude think of it this way every great invention every magnificent work of art every

profound spiritual Revelation these not come from individuals who are willing to be alone with their thoughts alone with their imagination alone with their God this is not coincidence my dear friends this is law let me share with you another truth that many find difficult to accept relationships often serve as distractions from your true purpose they can become comfortable hiding places where you never have to face yourself never have to grow never have to become who you truly are but when you live alone properly understanding this date you have no choice but to face yourself you

have no choice but to grow you have no choice but to become who you truly are this is why many fear Solitude because it forces them to confront their own divine nature consider the story of Jesus going into the Wilderness for 40 days this was not a punishment this was not a hardship this was a necessary step in claiming his divine nature the Wilderness the Solitude was not an obstacle to overcome it was the very means of his transformation many of you have been taught that relationships are the path to growth to learning to becoming

better people but I tell you now why relationships can certainly teach us things the deepest growth the most profound learning the most complete transformation always happens in solitude think about it when you are constantly in relationship constantly adjusting to another's presence constantly accommodating another's reality how can you truly know your yourself how can you truly hear your own inner voice how can you truly follow your own Divine guidance let me share with you another principle that I have tested and proven the state of living alone when properly understood is the most powerful healing State you

can occupy for in this state you are not taking on the energies the emotions the problems of others you are free to focus entirely on your own healing your own growth your own transformation consider this when you are in a relationship how much of your energy goes to managing the other person's moves how much of your time is spent dealing with their issues how much of your attention is diverted from your own healing Journey but when you live alone all of that energy all of that time all of that attention can be focused on your

own growth and healing many of you fear living alone because you have been taught that we need others to heal to grow to become whole but I tell you You Now While others can certainly support our healing Journey the deepest healing always happens in solitude in that Sacred Space where it's just you and God I of it this way when you break a bone yes doctors can set it friends can support you but the actual healing happens within your own body no one else can do that healing for you in the same way your deepest

emotional and spiritual healing can only happen within you in the Silence of your own being let me share with you another truth that Society often tries to deny relationships often create more problems than they solve they often bring more complexity than Clarity more confusion than certainty more distraction than Direction but when you live alone properly understanding the state life becomes remarkably simple your decisions are your own your time is your own your energy is your own the Simplicity is not a limitation it is a profound Freedom that allows you to focus entirely on your Divine

Purpose consider the great spiritual teachers throughout history yes they interacted with others they taught others they loved others but their power their Clarity their connection to Divine truth came from their willingness to be alone to be complete within themselves many of you spend your lives seeking the perfect relationship the perfect partner the perfect connection but I tell you now what you are read is seeking is your own Perfection your own completeness your own divine nature and this can only be found within yourself think about it how many relationships have you entered hoping they would make

you happy make you complete make you whole and how many times has this strategy failed this is because you are seeking outside yourself what can only be found within let me share with you another principle that I have tested and proven the state of living alone when properly understood is the most powerful creative state you can occupy for in this state your created energy is not divided not compromised not diluted by the needs and demands of relationship consider this when you are in a relationship how much of your Creative Energy goes into maintaining the relationship

itself how much of your creative power is spent on managing the Dynamics handling the conflicts navigating the compromises but when you live alone all of that Creative Energy can be directed toward your Divine Purpose many of you feel living alone because you have been taught that creativity flourishes in relationship in Connection in Partnership but I tell you now while collaboration can certainly produce wonderful things the most profound creativity always emerges from Solitude from that Sacred Space where you are one with your own imagination think of it this way every great book every magnificent Symphony every

prong philos opical Insight these came not from committees or relationships but from individuals who were willing to spend long hours alone with their thoughts alone with their creativity alone with their God let me share with you another truth that many find difficult to accept relationships often drain our energy rather than enhance it they often deplete our resources rather than multiply them they often diminish our power rather than amplify it but when you live alone own properly understanding this state your energy remains intact your resources remain your own your power remains undiluted this is not selfishness

this is stewardship of your Divine gifts consider the words of scripture what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul I tell you now many relationships cause exactly this a losing of oneself in the attempt to gain or maintain connection with another many of you have been taught that relationships are necessary for growth for learning for becoming who you are meant to be but I tell you now what relationships can certainly teach us things the most profound growth the deepest learning the most complete becoming always happens in

solitude think about it when you are constantly adjusting to another's presence constantly accommodating another's reality constantly compromising your own truth how can you truly grow me we are meant to do how can you truly hear your own inner guidance how can you truly follow your own Divine path let me share with you another principle that I have tested and proven the state of living alone when properly understood is the most powerful manifestation State you can occupy for in this state your manifestation energy is not divided not compromised not diluted by the needs and desires of

others consider this when you are in a relationship how often do you modify your desires to accommodate your partner how often do you compromise your dreams to maintain Harmony how often do you settle for less than what you truly want because it's easier than dealing with conflict but when you live alone your desires remain pure your dreams remain intact your manifestations remain undiluted this is not selfishness this is alignment with your divine nature think of it this way every great achievement every magnificent creation every profound breakthrough these came not from compromise or consensus but from

individuals who were willing to stand alone in their Vision alone in their purpose alone in their truth let me share with you another truth that Society often tries to deny relationships often create more limitation than Liberation they often bring more constraint than Freedom more obligation than opportunity more burden than blessing but when you live alone properly understanding this state you are TR free free to pursue your dreams without compromise free to follow your guidance without explanation free to be who you truly are without apology consider the great innovators throughout history yes they may have had

teams and supporters but their greatest Innovations came from their willingness to stand alone in their Vision to trust their own imagination to follow their own guidance many of you spend your lives seeking Security in relationships seeking safety in Partnerships seeking stability in connections with others but I tell you now the only true security the only real safety the only lasting stability comes from your connection with your own divine nature think about it how many relationships have you entered seeking security only to find more insecurity how many Partnerships have you formed seeking safety only to find

more danger how many connections have you made seeking stability only to find moas this is because you are seeking outside yourself what can only be found within the security you seek is not in another person it is in your recognition of your own divine nature the safety you desire is not in a relationship it is in your connection with your own I let me share with you another principle that I have tested and proven the state of living alone when properly understood is the most powerful abundant State you can occup for in this state your

resources are not divided not compromised not deluded by the needs and demands of relationship consider this when you are in a relationship how much of your abundance goes to maintaining the relationship itself how much of your resources are spent on managing the Dynamics handling the compromises navigating the conflicts but when you live alone all of those resources can be directed toward your defined purpose many of you Fe living alone because you have been taught that abundance comes comes through partnership through sharing through combining Resources with another but I tell you now while sharing can certainly

multiply abundance the most profound abundance always flows from your recognition of your own completeness think of it this way every great Fortune every magnificent Empire every profound Legacy these came not from relationships or Partnerships but from individuals who were willing to stand alone in their Vision alone in their purpose alone in their truth let me share with you another truth that many find difficult to accept relationships often create more scarcity than abundance they often bring more limitation than expansion more constraint than Freedom more obligation than opportunity but when you live alone properly understanding the state

you experience true abundance not just material abundance though that certainly comes but the abundance of being full of yourself of living fully your truth of expressing fully Your Divine Nature consider the words of scripture seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and all these things shall be added unto you the Kingdom of Heaven is not in another person it is within you when you seek it there everything else naturally falls into place many of you have been taught that relationships are necessary for success for achievement of creating the life you desire but I tell you

now why relationships can certainly support our success the most profound achievements the greatest successes the most complete Creations always come from our willingness to stand alone in Our Truth think about it when you are constantly adjusting to another's presence constantly accommodating another's reality constantly compromising your own Vision how can you truly create what you are meant to create how can you truly achieve what you are meant to achieve how can you truly succeed in Your Divine Purpose let me share with you another principle that I have tested and proven the state of living alone when

properly understood is the most powerful peace State you can occupy for in this state your peace is not dependent on another's mood not compromised by another's stress not diluted by another's chaos consider this when you are in a relationship how much of your peace is disturbed by your partner's moods how much of your tranquility is disrupted by their stress how much of your Serenity is compromised by their chaos but when you live alone your peace remains intact your Tranquility remains undisturbed Your Serenity remains complete many of you fear living alone because you have been taught

that peace comes through relationship through sharing through sharing your life with another but I tell you now while relationships can certainly bring moments of of Peace the most profound peace the deepest Tranquility the most complete Serenity always comes from within think of it this way every Great Sage every magnificent teacher every profound Master did they not find their greatest peace in solitude did they not discover their deepest wisdom in silence it is the secret of making the universe respond to your desires of shaping reality itself through the power of your imagination now I know what

some of you may be thinking never you might say how can this be possible how can my mere thoughts and imaginings affect the solid tangible world around me and to that I say not only is it possible it is the very Foundation of all creation the Bedrock upon which our entire existence is built you see my dear friends the world you perceive around you the chair you're sitting on the air you're breathing the thoughts of the person next to you all of it is nothing more than a reflection of your own Consciousness the universe in

all its infinite wisdom and glory is responding Moment by moment to the state of your imagination to the assumptions you hold about yourself and the world let me be clear when I speak of imagination I'm not referring to Idol or Daydreams or freaking fantasies no I speaking of something far more profound far more fundamental to your being your imagination properly understood and appli is your very self it is God in action within you it is in essence the creative power of the universe focused through the lens of your individual Consciousness now I can see the

skepticism in some of your eyes you're wondering if this is true why isn't my life perfect why do I face challenges and setbacks and to that I say because you have yet fully awakened to your true nature to the immense power that lies Dom within you you see most people go through life believing they are at the mercy of external circumstances they believe that their lives are shaped by forces beyond their control by their upbringing their environment their genes or even by some capricious deity who dos out blessings and curses at will but I am

here to tell you with absolute certainty that nothing could be further but from the truth you my dear friends are the operant power in your life you are the one who shapes your reality who determines your fate and you do this not through your actions in the outer world but through the States you occupy in your imagination now let me explain what I mean by States a state is a mindset a way of being a particular arrangement of your Consciousness when you embody a state be it one of wealth health love or success you are

in that moment that very thing and here's the crucial point the outer world has no choice but to conform to the States you have assumed this my friends is the law that governs all creation it is immutable unchanging and it operates with perfect Precision in every moment of your existence the world is nothing more than a mirror Faithfully reflecting back to you the state you have assumed but here's where most people stumble they look at their current circumstances at the limitations and lack in their life and they assume that this is their reality they accept

it as an unchangeable fact not realizing that by doing so they are perpetuating those very conditions you see the secret to changing your life to making Universe respond lies in your ability to disregard the evidence of your senses and instead live from the end what do I mean by this I mean that you must have the courage and the imagination to see your desires already fulfilled to experience in your mind the joy and satisfaction of your wish realized this might my friends is the art of assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled it is the

Cornerstone of all successful manifestation the key that unlocks the infinite potential of your imagination now I can hear some of you thinking but nille how can I possibly feel something that isn't true how can I convince myself of a reality that doesn't exist and to that I say you are already doing it every moment of your life every belief you hold every assumption you make about yourself and the world is nothing more than an act of imagination that you have accepted as truth the only difference is that most people imagine unconsciously allowing their minds to

be shaped by past experiences and current circumstances but you my dear friends have the power to imagine consciously to deliberately choose the States you will occupy let me give you an example to illustrate this point imagine a man who desires wealth he looks at his current bank balance at the bills piling up on his desk and he feels poor he walks down the street sees luxury cars and expensive shots and he feels lack in every moment he is affirming his poverty he is assuming the state of being poor now contrast this with a man who

understands the power of imagination this man regardless of his current circumstances chooses to assume the state of wealth when he walks down that same street he doesn't see things he afford he sees evidence of abundance that is already his when he looks at his bills he feels gratitude for the services he's received and the ability to pay for them in his imagination he feed us the crisp texture of large bills in his wallet he experiences the peace of mind that comes with Financial Security he Sav the freedom to live as he chooses to help others

to pursue his passions without concern for money which of the these men do you think is more likely to manifest actual wealth in the outer world the answer of course is clear the universe can only respond to the state you occupy to the assumptions you hold about yourself and your place in the world now I address a common misconception some of you might be thinking but Neville isn't just positive thinking isn't this just fooling myself and to that I say absolutely not what I'm describing goes far beyond M positive thinking or affirmations you see positive

thinking operates on the level of the conscious mind it's an attempt to override negative thoughts with more positive ones but the power I'm speaking of the power to make the universe respond operates at a much deeper level it's not about thinking positively it's about being positively when you truly assume a state in your imagination when you occupy it fully you are not fooling yourself you are in that moment actually becoming the person who has what you desire you are shifting your entire Consciousness aligning yourself with the reality you wish to experience this is why simply

repeating affirmations or visualizing your desires often fall short these techniques can be useful but they're not enough on their own to truly change your life to make the universe respond you must feel the ality your desire you must experience it so vividly in your imagination now I know what some of you are thinking but neille you might say I've tried this I've imagined what I want I have tried to feel it real but nothing has changed and to that I say persistence is key remember you are undoing a lifetime of Habitual thinking and feeling you

are dismantling deeply ingrain beliefs about yourself in the world this is not always an easy process it requires dedication it requires faith and above all it requires persistence you must be willing to maintain your assumed state even when all evidence points to the contrary you must have courage to disregard the world of Shadows and live fully in the world of imagination let me share with you a story that illustrates this point I once knew a woman who desperately wanted to be married she had been single for years and despite her best efforts she couldn't seem

to find the right partner she came to me frustrated and dis sharpened asking for help I instructed her to imagine every night before sleep that she was already married to the perfect partner I told her to feel the ring on her finger to experience the warmth of her Lover's Embrace to hear the words of love and commitment whispered in her ear At first she found this difficult her loneliness and frustration kept intruding on her imaginal scene but she persisted night after night she lived in Her Imagination as a happily married woman and slowly something began

to change he noticed that she felt different during the day she cared herself with more confidence she interacted with men differently free from the desperation that had previously colored her interactions and then seeming it out of nowhere she met someone the relationship blossome quickly and within a year she was married to a man who matched perfectly the one she had been imagining now some might call this a coincidence but I assure you it was anything but this woman had changed her state had shifted her Consciousness and the universe had no choice but to respond in

kind this my dear friends the power that lies within each and every one of you the power to shape your reality to mold the universe itself through the power of your imagination but let me be clear this is not about controlling others or manipulating external circumstances the only thing you can ever change is yourself but when you change yourself when you shift your state when you assume a new way of being the entire world reshapes itself to mat your new self-concept now I want to address another important Point some of you might be wondering but

NE all about action don't we need to do something in the outer world to make our desires a reality and to that I say inspired action will flow naturally from your assumed State you see when you truly occupy a state of the wish fulfilled when you live from the end your actions in the outer world will naturally align with your desire you won't have to force yourself to take action you won't have to push against resistance instead you'll find yourself naturally drawn to take the right actions at the right time this is because your outer

world is nothing more than expression of your inner State when you change your state your perception changes and New Opportunities become visible to you doors that were previously closed suddenly open people and circumstances that can help you achieve your desire are drawn into your life as is by Magic but remember the action is not the cause of your manifestation it is the result the true cause is always the state you occupy in your imagination this is why two people can take the same actions in the outer World and Achieve vastly different results it's not the

action itself that determines the outcome but the state from which the action Springs now let's delve deeper into the mechanics of how this process works you see your subconscious mind which is really your connection to the infinite intelligence of the universe doesn't distinguish between what you imagine vividly and what you have to experience in the outer world to your subconscious they are one and the same this is why your imaginal acts are so powerful when you imagine something vividly when you occupy a state fully your imagination your subconscious accepts it as reality and once your

subconscious accept something is real it goes toward work to make it so in your outer world this is not some mystical or super natural Pro process is it simply the way Consciousness never for is your Consciousness is the only reality what you assum to be true what you believe in the depths of your being must be expressed in your outer world this is an inviable law of Consciousness now I want to address a question that often arises when I speak about these principles some of you might be wondering but nille what about other people how

can my imagination affect them and to that I say there are no others I know this might sound strange even sistic but bear with me you see the people in your life the circumstance you encounter are all of you pushed out they are reflections of your Consciousness expressions of your assumptions and beliefs this doesn't mean that other people don't exist or that they don't have free will but it does mean that your experience of them your interactions with them are shaped by your Consciousness change your Consciousness and your experience of others will change too let

me give you an example to illustrate this Point imagine a man who believes that people are generally unfriendly unhelpful as he goes about his day he encounters people who seem to confirm this belief the cashier at the store is cured with him his co-workers are distant strangers on the street avoid eye contact now imagine this same man decides to change his assumption he begins to imagine that people are friendly and eager to help he feels this new assumption as true he occupies this new state fully in his imagination and suddenly his experiences begin to change

the same kashia smiles and Strikes up a friendly conversation his co-workers become more open and collaborative strangers on the street offer warm Smiles has the world suddenly changed have all these people suddenly become different of course not what has changed is the man's Consciousness and as a result his perception and experience of the world has shifted this my dear friends is the true power of your imagination it's not just about manifesting material things or achieving specific goals it's about shaping your entire experience of reality it's about becoming the proton to be about living in the

world you want to inhabit now I want to address another important aspect of this work some of you might be wondering about the role of desire in this process you might be asking neb where do our desires come from and how do we know which desires to pursue to that I say your desires are not random they are not arbitrary whims whims fancies your desires are messages from your higher self from the God within you there are invitations to grow to expand to more fully express your divine nature when you feel a genuine desire not

a selfish want but a deep heartfelt longing that is God's way of telling you what's possible for you it's a preview of a potenti potential reality that you have the power to Manifest this is why it is so important to honor your desires to take them seriously when you dismiss your desires as impossible or unworthy you are turning your back on your own Divinity you are rejecting the gift that the universe is offering you but here's the crucial point the Fulfillment of your desire is not the ultimate goal the real P of your desire is

to lead you to a new state of being to a new level of Consciousness the outter manifestation is simply I gu you have successfully shifted your state this is why it's so important to focus on the feeling of the wish fulfilled rather than on the specific details of how it would come about when you imagine your desire as fulfilled when you occupy that state fully you are aligning yourself with the essence of what you want and often the universe will surprise you by bringing your desire to pass in way far more wonderful than you could

have planned now I want to address a common concern that arises when people begin to work with these principles some of you might be thinking but Neville what if I imagine something and it doesn't happen what if I assume a state and nothing changes to that I say have patience and above all of Have Faith remember you are working with the very substance of the universe you are engaging with the the fundamental laws of creation this is not always an instantaneous process sometimes the seed you plant in your imagination will Spar quickly manifesting in your

outer World in a matter of days or weeks other times it may take longer but make no mistake once you have planted that seed once you have truly occupied a state in your imagination the wheels of creation are set in motion your manifestation is inevitable as long as you maintain your faith and persist in your assumption this is where many people falter they imagine their desire they try to feel it real but when they don't see immediate results they give up they return to their Old State their old assumptions and then wonder why nothing has

changed but I assure you my dear friends that every imaginal act you perform is fruitful every state you occupy leaves its mark on your subconscious even if you don't see immediate results trust that your imagination is doing its work trust that the universe is rearranging itself to match your new set this trust this unwavering faith is crucial you must have faith in the law faith in the power of your imagination but more than that you must have faith in yourself in your divine nature in your ability to create your reality now let's talk about how

to practically apply these principles in your daily life the first step is to choose your state what is it that you truly desire what kind kind of person do you want to be what kind of Life do you want to live once you've identified your desire create a scene that implies its fulfillment this scene should be short simple and easy to repeat it should capture the essence of your desire the feeling of it being realized for example if your desire is for a loving relationship you might imagine he in a loved one say I'm so

happy we're together feel the warmth of their embrace the love in their voice make it as Vivid and real as possible if your desire is for financial abundance you might imagine looking at your bank statement and seeing a balance that Thrills you feel the sense of security the freedom that comes with financial abundance whatever you're seeing the key is to make it feel real engage all your senses don't just see it hear it feel it smell it taste it if appropriate the more real you can make it in your imagination the more powerful it will

be now here's the crucial part you must enter this scene as if it were happening now not as a future event not as something you hope would happen but as a present reality you must feel the naturalness of it to sense that of course this is your reality I recommend practicing this imaginal scene every night as you fall asleep you see sleep sleep is a powerful time for impressing your subconscious mind Smile as you drift off to sleep your conscious mind relaxes its hold allowing your imaginal scene to sink deep into your subconscious but don't

limit yourself to nighttime throughout your day whenever one moment return to your scene feel the reality of it let the feeling of your wish fulfilled permeate your entire being now I want to address another important Point some of you might be wondering about negative thoughts and doubts you might be asking nille what if I can't stop my negative thoughts what if I doubt whether this will work to that I say don't fight your negative thoughts don't try to force them away instead simply return to your imaginal scene return to the feeling of your wish fulfilled

you see what you resist persists but what you accept and then replace Fades away your negative thoughts your doubts are simply habits of mind they are old states that you've occupied for so long that they feel natural to you but remember you have the power to choose your state you have the power to decide what you would accept as real when doubts arise when negative thoughts INE simply acknowledge them and then gently return to your chosen State say to yourself ah there's that old thought again but I know the truth I know what's real and

then immerse yourself once more in the feeling of your wish fulfilled over time as you persist in your new state these old thoughts and doubts will fade away they'll lose that power over you you'll find it easier and easier to maintain your chosen state to live from the end now let's talk about something that many people struggle with letting go you see there's a seeming Paradox in this work on one hand you must live from the state of your wish fulfilled feeling it as real and present on the other hand you must let go of

attachment to the outcome this can be challenging how can you feel something as real and yet not be attached to it the key is to understand that your job is not to make your desire happen your job is simply to occupy the state the manifestation the out of fulfillment is not your concern that's the job of the universe when you truly live from the end when you fully occupy your desired State you no longer feel a sense of lack or need you're not actually waiting for your desire to manifest because in your imagination it already

has You're simply enjoying the state savoring the feeling of your wish fulfilled this is true Detachment it's not about not caring whether your desire manifests it's about knowing that it has already manifested on the level of imagination which is the only reality the outer world has no choice but to conform to this inner reality in Divine timing and div divine order now I want to address a question that often arises when I speak about these principles some of you might be wondering but n what about morality what if someone uses this powerful selfish or harmful

purposes to that I say the law is neutral like gravity doesn't distinguish between what we might consider good or bad it simply responds to the state we occupy what I assure you that when you truly understand and apply these principles you will have no desire to harm others or to act selfishly you see as you begin to experience your own divine nature as you realize your Oneness with all of creation your desires naturally align with the highest good you begin to understand that what blesses one blesses all that there is no separation between you and

others moreover you realize that you don't need to take from others to have what you want you don't need to compete or struggle you simply need to assume the state of having or being what you desire and the universe will respond accordingly this understanding leads to a profound shift in Consciousness you move from a mindset of lack and limitation to one of abundance and infinite possibility you realize that there is more than enough for everyone that one person's gain doesn't have to mean another's loss now as we near the end of our time together I

want to leave you with a final thought the principles I've shared with you today are not new they are as old as Consciousness itself they have been taught by Mystics and sages throughout the ages often veiled in symbolic language what I've attempt to do is to present these Timeless truths in a clear practical way that you can apply in your daily life but remember the real proof of these principles lies not in my words but in your experience I encourage you my dear friends to test these ideas for your side choose a side create your

scene and live from that state persist even when outer appearances seem to contradict your your imaginal act have faith in the law have faith in your own divine nature and as you do this as you begin to experience the power of your imagination to shape with your reality you will undergo profound transformation you will begin to understand not just intellectually but experientially that you are the operant power in your life you will realize that the UN is not something separate from you but a loving responsive extension of your own Consciousness this realization my friends is

true Freedom it's the key to creating the life you desire to becoming the person you want to be it's the secret to making the universe respond remember the world is yourself pushed out everything you experience is a reflection of your own Consciousness change your Consciousness and you change your world this is the great secret the Great Law it has always been so and it will always be so as you leave here today I urge you to carry this knowledge with you let it Infuse every aspect of your life use your imagination lovingly and wisely create

beautiful Stakes for yourself and for others live from the state of your wishes fulfilled for in doing so you are not just changing your own life you are participating in the grand dance of creation you are fulfilling Your Divine Purpose you are making the Universe respond not just to your individual desires but to the highest and best possibilities for all creation go forth my dear friends and create wonderfully for you are the makers of Your World the authors of your destiny the power is within you the time is now the choice is yours thank you

and may your imagination be blessed tonight I shall share with you the most profound secret of creation how to speak blessings upon yourself and instant transform your entire world so you see when you truly understand how to bless yourself you are engaging in the highest form of creation for you are doing what God does continuously consider the first chapter of Genesis where God speaks blessings upon his creation notice how he didn't ask anyone else to bless his work he blessed it himself this is is the pattern you must follow for you are that same creative

power individualizes you let me share with you why blessing yourself is the most powerful act you can perform first you must understand that when you speak a blessing upon yourself you are not engaging in mere positive thinking or affirmations you are exercising your Divine creative power for you are God individualized as you many of you come to me seeking blessings from others from teachers from gurus from religious leaders but I tell you now no one can bless you more powerfully than you can bless yourself for you are the operant power in your world and your

word is the creative power of God In Action when you speak a blessing upon yourself you are doing what God did in the beginning remember the words and God blessed them he didn't wait for someone else to bless his creation he blessed it himself and you being made in His image and likeness must do the same let me share with you the proper way to speak blessings upon yourself first you must understand that when you say I blessed myself you are not speaking as a mortal being you are speaking as God individualized for your I

am is God and when you speak blessings from your am you are speaking with all the power of creation consider this every time you speak a blessing upon yourself you are literally recreating your world for for your word is God's word and God's word cannot return void it must accomplish that which it is sent to do but and this is crucial your blessings must be spoken with understanding and feeling you cannot merely repeat words mechanically and expect results you must feel the truth of the blessing as you speak it for feeling is the secret and

without feeling words are empty let me give you a perfect example from scripture when I said blessed Jacob he felt the blessing as he spoke it he wasn't just saying words he was feeling the reality of what he was declaring and this is exactly how you must speak blessings upon yourself many of you might be thinking but nebble isn't it selfish to bless myself let me tell you something it is the most unselfish thing you can do for when you bless yourself truly understanding that you are God individualized you are blessing all of creation for

there is no other what you see as others is yourself pushed out let me share with you how to properly structure your self blessings begin with your I am for this is the name of God then speak your blessing with absolute conviction for example I am blessed with perfect health I am blessed with unlimited abundance I am blessed with Divine wisdom but remember these are not mere affirmations they are acknowledgments of what is already true in consciousness for when you speak a blessing upon yourself you are not trying to make something true you are acknowledging

what is already true in the spiritual realm consider this principle I have tested and proven countless times when you bless yourself you are performing the highest Act of Creation for in blessing yourself you are acknowledging your divine nature and what you acknowledge must manifest in your experience let me share with you the three aspect of effective self- blessing first there is recognition when you bless yourself you must recognize that you speak as God individualized not as a mortal being hoping for good but as the Divine Creator declaring what is second there is feeling your blessings

must be accompanied by the feeling of their fulfillment when you say I am blessed with perfect health you must feel the Vitality the strength the well-being that this blessing implies for feeling is the secret of creation third there is acceptance you must accept that your blessing is already fulfilled in Consciousness not that it will be not that it might be but that it is for Consciousness is the only reality and what you accept in Consciousness must externalize itself in your world many of you make the mistake of blessing yourself while looking at your current circumstances

but I tell you now circumstances have no power over your blessings unless you give them that power your blessings create circumstances not the other way around let me share with you a profound truth about self- blessing that most of the world has missed when you bless yourself you are not asking for something to be given to you you are acknowledging what is already Yours by Divine Right For All blessings already exist in Consciousness waiting to be acknowledged and claimed consider the words of scripture before they call I will answer this means that every blessing you

could ever speak upon yourself already exists in Consciousness your speaking of the blessing is not creating it it is acknowledging and claiming what already is let me share with you how to maintain the consciousness of your self blessings throughout your day most people speak a blessing and then return to their old patterns of thought but I I tell you now your blessing must become your constant inner conversation I think about this carefully every time you speak a blessing upon yourself you are literally rearranging the entire spiritual substance of your Universe for your Consciousness is God

and what God blesses must manifest let me give you some specific blessings that I have found particularly powerful first I am blessed with perfect understanding of my own divine nature this blessing opens the door to all other blessings for when you truly understand your divine nature All Things become possible second I am blessed with the constant awareness of my creative power this blessing keeps you mindful of your true identity as God individualized for you see most people forget their divine nature and slip back into mortal thinking third I am blessed with the ability to see

past appearances to the truth of being this blessing helps you maintain your focus on the reality of Consciousness rather than the shadows of circumstances consider how these blessings work together each one strengthens the others creating a powerful foundation for all your other blessings for when you truly understand your divine nature are aware of your creative power and can see past appearances you become a master of Conscious Creation many of you may be wondering how often to speak these blessings let me tell you something it's not about frequency it's about Consciousness one blessing spoken with complete

understanding and feeling is worth more than a thousand spoken mechanically let me share with you another principle about self- blessing that most people miss when you bless yourself you are not speaking to yourself as a mortal being you are speaking as God to his creation for you are both the blesser and the Blessed the Creator and the creation think about this carefully when God said let there be light he didn't doubt whether it was possible he didn't wonder about the process he simply declared it and knew it was done this is exactly how you must

speak your blessings upon yourself consider the power in this understanding when you say I am blessed you are speaking with the same Authority that created the universe for your I am is the same I am that spoke all things into being let me share with you how to handle doubts when they arise after speaking your blessings and they will arise many of you speak a blessing upon yourself and then immediately begin to question whether it will work but I tell you now doubt is simply your former Consciousness trying to maintain its position consider what happens

in nature when you plant a seed the seed doesn't doubt whether it will become what it is meant to be it simply begins its transformation according to its nature your blessings work the same way they are spiritual seeds planted in the fertile soil of Consciousness let me give you a deeper understanding of how this works when you say I am am blessed with perfect health for example you have planted a seed in Consciousness now just as a physical seed needs time to sprout and grow your blessing needs time to externalize itself in your world but

and this is crucial while the outer manifestation may take changeing Consciousness is immediate when the blessing is properly spoken for you see the moment you speak a blessing with understanding and feeling you have altered the entire spiritual substance of your Universe many of you may be thinking but Neville I spoken blessings before nothing changed let me tell you something my teacher Abdullah taught me nothing changes because you spoke the words things Chang because you became what you declare let me share with you another principle about self- blessing that most of the world has missed when

you bless yourself you are not trying to influence God to give you something you are exercising your divine power as God individualized for your Consciousness is God and your word is his word consider the story of The Prodigal Son notice how the father didn't wait for someone else to bless his returning son he blessed him himself this is exactly what you must do you must be both the father giving the blessing and the son receiving it this brings me to a deeper truth about self- blessing when you say I am blessed you are acknowledging both

your divine nature I am and your Human Experience blessed you are bringing Heaven and Earth together in your Consciousness let me share with you what I call the seven pillars of self- blessing these are the foundational principles that must be understood if your blessings are to have their full creative power the first pillar is recognition you must recognize that you are the one who blesses not your personality not your mortal self but your I am for when you say I am blessed you are speaking as God individualized not as a mortal being seeking favors the

second pillar is Authority when you bless yourself you must speak with complete Authority consider how God speaks in scripture not with doubt not with hesitation but with absolute Authority let there be life These are words of complete Authority the third pillar is feeling your blessings must be accompanied by the feeling of fulfillment not the feeling of wanting to be blessed but the feeling of being blessed for feeling is the secret and without the proper feeling your words lack power the fourth pillar is present tense notice how God never said there will be life he said

let there be light your blessings must be spoken in the present tense for Consciousness knows only now the fifth pillar is persistence not the Persistence of mechanical repetition but the Persistence of maintaining the consciousness of being blessed for your blessing must become your dominant State of Consciousness this the six pillar is understanding you must understand that your blessing is not creating something new it is acknowledging what already exists in Consciousness for all blessings already exist in the spiritual realm waiting to be claimed and the seventh pillar is gratitude when you bless yourself you must feel

grateful not for what will come but for what already is for gratitude is the evidence of faith and faith is the substance of things hope for let me share with you how these Seven Pillars work together when you recognize your true identity as God individualize speak with Divine Authority feel the reality of your blessing maintain present tense awareness persist in the Consciousness understand the principle and feel genuine gratitude your blessing must manifest consider how this differs from what most people do most people speak blessings from their most Consciousness with doubt in their voice feeling the

lack rather than the Fulfillment thinking of future fulfillment giving up at the first sign of delay lacking understanding of the principle and feeling no gratitude until they see results let me share with you what I call the three stages of self- blessing manifestation most people don't understand these stages and that's why they often Give Up Before Their Blessings manifest the first stage is spiritual this happens instantly when you speak your blessing with understanding and feeling in this stage you have literally rearranged the spiritual substance of your Universe this is the most crucial stage for it

is the only stage where real creation takes place the second stage is mental this is where your mind begins to align with your blessing you start to think differently see opportunities differently and respond to life differently many people mistake this for mere positive thinking but I tell you now it is far more than that it is your Consciousness reorganizing itself according to your blessing the third stage is physical this is where your outer world begins to reflect your blessing now here's what's fascinating about these stages they must occur in this order you cannot skip the

spiritual stage and go straight to the physical you cannot bypass the mental stage and expect outter results consider the words of scripture first the blade then the ear after that the full corn in ear this is describing these three stages the blade is the spiritual acceptance the ear is the mental alignment and the full corn is the physical manifestation let me share with you how to recognize when you're in each stage in the spiritual stage you feel an inner knowing a deep peace about your blessing there might be no outer evidence yet but you know

it is done in the mental stage you begin to think thoughts that align with your blessing naturally without effort if you blessed yourself with abundance for example you naturally begin to think abundant thoughts if you bless yourself with health you naturally begin to think healthy thoughts in the physical stage your outer world begins to rearrange itself to match your blessing but and this is crucial by the time you reach this stage you're no longer anxious about it for you see you've already experienced the reality of reality in Consciousness let me give you a deeper understanding

of how these stages work together when you say I am blessed with perfect health you instantly create this reality in the spiritual realm this is stage one then your mind begins to align with this new reality you begin to think like a health healthy person act like a healthy person make decisions like a healthy person this is stage two finally your body and circumstances begin to reflect this new reality but by this time you're no longer desperate to happen because you've been living in the caric conscious both perfect teaches 1 and two many of you

make the mistake of looking for phys physical evidence before you've allowed the spiritual and mental stages to complete their work but I tell you now this is like digging up a seed to see if it's growing you must allow each stage to unfold in its perfect timing let me share with you what I call the four states of Consciousness in self- blessing understanding these states is crucial for your blessing will manifest according to the state from which you speak it the first state is the state of Desire this is where most people begin they speak

blessings from a consciousness of wanting of needing of lacking but I tell you now this state cannot produce results for it perpetuates the very lack it seeks to overcome the second state is the state of hope this is better than desire but still not powerful enough when you speak blessings from Hope you are acknowledging that fulfillment is possible but you haven't yet accepted it as fact in Consciousness the third state is the state of Faith now we're moving into creative power when you speak blessings from Faith you are speaking with conviction with certainty with knowing

but there's an even higher state the fourth state is the state of knowing this is the highest state the state from which God created when you speak blessings from this state you are speaking as God individualized knowing that what you declare must manifest consider how these states progress in the state of desire you say I want to be blessed in the state of hope you say I might be blessed in the state of Faith you say I will be blessed but in the state of knowing you simply say I am blessed let me share with

you how to move from one state to another the movement from desire to Hope happens naturally as you study and understand the law the movement from Hope to Faith happens through testing the law and seeing results but the movement from Faith to knowing ah this is the crucial transition the state of knowing comes when you fully realize your own divine nature when you understand that you are God individual realize that your Consciousness is the only reality that your word is God's word then you naturally speak blessings from the state of knowing many of you may

be wondering how to achieve this state of knowing let me tell you something it's not achieved it's recognized it's not something you become it's something you already are your task is to remove the veils that hide this truth from your awareness let me share with you what I call the five proofs of effective self- blessing these are the signs that tell you your blessing is taking root in Consciousness and must therefore manifest in your world the first proof is peace when you've spoken of blessing effectively you feel a deep peace about it not the Peace

of resignation but the Peace of knowing for you see when you truly know something is done in Consciousness all anxiety about it disapp fears the second proof is naturalness your blessing begins to feel natural to you you no longer have to convince yourself of it it becomes As Natural as breathing As Natural as your own name the third proof is indifference to appearances you find yourself unmoved by contradictory circumstances not because you're practicing positive thinking but because you know the reality exists in Consciousness not in appearance the fourth proof is change inner conversation your habitual

thoughts and internal dialogue naturally align with your blessing you don't have to force it it happens spontaneously because Consciousness always produces thoughts that match its state the fifth proof is inspired action you find yourself naturally taking actions that align with your blessing not from effort or planning but from an inner prompting that feels completely natural remember dear friends that speaking blessings upon yourself is not an act of egotism it is an acknowledgement of your divine nature for you are God individualized and your word has all the creative power of the universe behind it when spoken

from that understanding let the truth of this sink deep into your Consciousness you are blessed not because someone else blessed you but because you have recognized and claimed your Divine inhaling through the power of self- blessing that's the message I want to leave with you tonight not because it's comfortable but because it's true not because it's what you expected to hear but because it's what you needed to hear remember your blessings create your reality when spoken from the consciousness of who you really are and isn't that worth thinking about
