Video Transcript:
In your world today, you've been conditioned to believe that effort, struggle, and constant striving are the pathways to your desires. The world teaches you to push harder, to fight more fiercely, to compete more intensely. But I tell you this: the very act of trying is the confession that you do not have; and as long as you are trying to get something, you are confirming its absence in your experience. Let me share with you a principle that I know to be true, not as theory but as a law I have proven countless times: the more
you try to get something, the more you push it away. This is the law of reverse effort, and it operates with mathematical precision in our universe. When you try to get something, you are automatically confessing that you don't have it, and what you confess, you possess. Think about it for a moment. When you try to fall asleep, does sleep come? No, the harder you try, the more elusive sleep becomes. When you try to remember a name, does it come to you? No, it's only when you stop trying, when you relax your mind, that the name
flows effortlessly into your consciousness. This is the secret I'm sharing with you tonight. Now let me take you to scripture, for the Bible is the greatest psychological document ever written. In the Book of Matthew it is written, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Notice carefully the tense used here; it doesn't say, "believe you will receive it," but "believe that you have received it." This is the key to all manifestation. The great error of humanity is that they are trying to get
what they already have; you are trying to become what you already are. The very moment you desire something, that which you desire already exists in what I call your imaginal act. It is already yours in the spiritual realm, and the spiritual realm is the cause, while the physical realm is but the effect. Let me share with you a personal experience. Years ago, when I was in B.B.O.S., I desired to go to America. Everyone told me it was impossible; during wartime, the quota was small and the waiting list was long. But I discovered this principle I'm
sharing with you tonight. Instead of trying to get to America, I assumed I was already there. I lived in the end, in the feeling of already being in America. I walked the streets of New York in my imagination; I felt the cold winter air on my face. I saw the tall buildings. I lived from that state of consciousness. I did not try to get there; I lived as though I was already there. And then, the most extraordinary series of events unfolded. A man I had never met facilitated my journey, and within months I was standing
on the very streets I had walked in my imagination. You see, the secret is not in the trying but in the assuming of the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Now let me show you how this principle operates in every area of your life, whether it's money, love, health, or success. The law remains the same: the moment you stop trying to get it and simply assume you have it, the entire universe reorganizes itself to make it so. But you must understand, this is not positive thinking or wishful thinking; this is the law of consciousness. Consider this:
everything in your world is pushed out of your consciousness. Your consciousness is the only reality. When you try to get something, you are pushing out the consciousness of lack, of not having; but when you assume you already have it, when you live in the end, you push out the consciousness of possession, of having. Let me give you a technique I have taught to thousands, and it has never failed when properly applied. Instead of trying to get what you want, every night as you lay down to sleep, assume you already have it. Feel the naturalness of
having it. Create a scene that implies the fulfillment of your desire. Feel the joy, the satisfaction, the completeness of possession. Then fall asleep in that state. You see, sleep is the state of consciousness where your subconscious mind is most receptive. As you fall asleep, feeling you already have what you desire, you are impregnating your subconscious with the seed of fulfillment. And just as a seed must fall into the earth and die to its current form to be reborn as something greater, your conscious mind must fall into the sleep state while holding the feeling of fulfillment.
This is what is meant in scripture when it says, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field." Your desire, planted in the fertile soil of your subconscious mind through the feeling of fulfillment, must grow and manifest in your world. But remember, you must stop trying. Trying implies effort, and effort implies lack. Instead, live in the absolute assumption that what you desire is already yours. Feel this reality now; experience the joy of possession now. Let every action, every word, every thought spring from the consciousness of already
being what you want to be, having what you want to have. Many of you may be thinking, "But Neville, how can I assume something is mine when my senses tell me otherwise?" This is where the art of consciousness comes into play. Your physical senses show you the harvest of your previous assumptions; they show you the effects, not the cause. The cause lies in your consciousness, and that is where the change must take place. When you walk into your room at night, you don't try to get light; you simply flick the switch, assuming the light. "Will
come on! You don't stand there trying to make the light appear. You act with the absolute confidence that the light will respond to your action. This is how you must be with all your desires. Let me share another principle that few understand: the outside world is dead. It has no power to give you anything or take anything away; it is simply responding to your consciousness. When you try to change things on the outside without changing your consciousness, you are like someone trying to change their reflection in the mirror without changing their face. Your world is
yourself pushed out. Every person, every circumstance, every event in your life is yourself pushed out. When you try to change them through effort, you are working on the reflection. But when you change your consciousness, when you assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled, the reflection must change. This is why scripture tells us, 'Be still and know that I am God.' This stillness is not physical stillness, but the stillness of trying. It is the sensation of effort; it is the complete acceptance that what you desire is already yours. Consider the lilies of the field, how they
grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. Yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. This is not a lesson in laziness, but a profound spiritual truth. The lily doesn't try to grow; it grows by allowing the life force within it to express itself perfectly. You are that lily. Your desires are the perfect pattern of your unfolding, but when you try to force them into being, you interfere with the perfect pattern; you introduce struggle where there should be only allowance. Let me give you a practical exercise. Tonight, when you go
home, take your desire, whatever it may be, and create a scene that would imply its fulfillment. Make it as natural as possible. If your desire is for a new home, feel yourself living in that home. Feel the texture of the furniture; walk from room to room; feel the joy of ownership. Then—and this is crucial—don't try to make it happen. Simply know that by feeling the reality of it, you have set in motion the law that must bring it into your physical experience. Remember, the feeling is the secret: not the trying, not the effort, but the
feeling. Feel as you would feel if your desire were already a physical fact. Persist in that feeling and watch how life rearranges itself to match your assumption. Now, let me address something that often confuses people. They ask, "But Neville, doesn't this mean we should do nothing?" No, that's not what I'm teaching. Action will come, but it will be inspired action, not forced action. When you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you will be moved to take whatever action is necessary. But it will feel natural and effortless. Think of a composer writing music. He doesn't
try to compose; he listens inwardly and records what he hears. Think of a great artist painting; they don't try to paint; they allow the image within to express itself through them. This is how you must be with your desires. The great secret is this: the feeling of the wish fulfilled is the very feeling that seals its fulfillment. The more you try to get it, the more you affirm its absence. But when you live in the end, when you possess it in consciousness, the trying ceases and the having begins. Let me share one more Biblical reference
that beautifully illustrates this principle: 'Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.' This is telling you that the moment you desire something, it is already accomplished in consciousness. Your work is not to get it, but to accept it, to assume it, to live in the end. As we conclude tonight's discussion, I want you to grasp this fundamental truth: everything you desire, desires you. Everything you want, wants you. But as long as you try to get it, you create resistance. The moment you assume you have it, all resistance dissolves.
Tonight, dare to assume you are what you want to be. Dare to assume you have what you want to have. Don't try to make it happen; know that it is already done. Live from that assumption and watch the miracle unfold. Remember, consciousness is the only reality. What you are conscious of being and having, you must become and have. The world is yourself pushed out. Change your concept of yourself and you change your world. Stop trying to get it, and you'll have it. This is the law, and there is no other way under heaven by which
anything is accomplished. The Kingdom of Heaven is within you, and all that you desire is already there, waiting for you to stop trying to get it and simply to accept it as yours. Now go in peace, knowing that what I have told you tonight is true. Apply this law. Test it. Prove it in the laboratory of daily life; for I tell you, with God, all things are possible, and God is your own wonderful human imagination. Many of you came to me after our previous discussions asking, 'But Neville, if I stopped trying, won't everything fall apart?'
Let me tell you a story that will illuminate this principle further. There was a lady in my audience in New York who had been trying to sell her house for two years. She had listed it with countless agents, reduced the price repeatedly, and was constantly trying to make the sale happen. After hearing this principle, she did something remarkable. She went home that night and did what I'm teaching you: instead of trying to sell the house, she assumed it was already sold. She sat in her favorite chair and constructed a scene." implication of the sale was
completed. In her imagination, she held the check in her hands, feeling its crisp texture. She felt the joy and relief of the completed sale. Most importantly, she stopped trying to sell it. Within one week, a buyer appeared who purchased the house at her original asking price. You see, the lady's constant triumph was her confession of not having, and therefore, she could only reap the harvest of not having. The moment she assumed the completed state, the law of consciousness had to operate to bring it into her experience. Let me take you deeper into scripture, for remember,
the Bible is not telling the story of historical events but is revealing eternal psychological truths. Consider the story of the Israelites trying to enter the promised land. For 40 years, they wandered in the wilderness trying to reach their destination, but it was only when they stopped trying, when they followed the instruction to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, that the walls of Jericho fell, and they entered their Promised Land. This is not just a historical account; it is your story. Your desire is your promised land, and your trying is your wilderness wandering.
The walls of Jericho represent all the seeming obstacles between you and your desire, but these walls fall not by effort but by assumption. Now let me give you a practical technique that I call the Sabbath. In scripture, God rested on the seventh day, not because He was tired, but because the work was done. This is your guide: when you properly assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled, you too must rest from your mental labor of trying to make it happen. This is your Sabbath. Every time you find yourself trying to make something happen, catch yourself
and remember the trying is a confession of absence. Instead, assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and rest in that assumption. This is what it means to enter into His rest. Consider how you operate when you truly have something. When you have money in the bank, do you try to have it? No, you simply know it's there. When you are in your own home, do you try to be there? Of course not; you simply are there. This is how you must be with your desires. Let me share another principle that few understand: your consciousness is
God's gift to you, but what you do with it is your gift to God. When you try to get something, you are essentially telling God that His gift is incomplete, that something is missing. But when you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you are accepting the gift in its completeness. Many of you have asked me about taking action. Never you say, "If I stop trying, should I stop doing?" No, my dear friends, action will still occur, but it will be inspired action rather than desperate action. When you assume the state of the wish fulfilled,
you will be moved to take whatever action is necessary, but it will feel natural and effortless. Think of a bird building its nest: it doesn't try to build; it simply follows its inner pattern. The action flows naturally from its state of consciousness. This is how your action should flow—not from trying, but from being. Here's a profound truth: the universe cannot give you what you want. It can only give you what you are. As long as you are trying to get something, you are being someone who lacks that thing. But when you assume the consciousness of
having it, you become someone who has it, and the universe must respond accordingly. Let me give you another technique to apply this principle: I call it the morning watch. When you first wake up in the morning, before you engage with the world, take a few moments to establish the feeling of your wish fulfilled. Don't try to make your day good; assume it is good. Don't try to be successful; assume you are successful. Start each day not by trying to get what you want, but by assuming you already have it. Remember the words of scripture: "Let
the weak say, 'I am strong.'" Notice it doesn't say, "Let the weak try to become strong." This is the law of assumption in operation: you assume the state you desire to express, and that assumption, persisted in, will harden into fact. Consider your own experience: when you know something with absolute certainty, do you try to know it? No. The "try" comes only with uncertainty. This is why I tell you; the feeling of certainty of already having or being what you desire is the key to manifestation. Many of you are wondering about the time it takes for
your assumption to become your physical reality. Remember, time is not a distance we travel; it is a bridge we cross in consciousness. The moment you fully assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you have crossed that bridge. What appears as time is simply the journey of that assumption through the dimensions of your world. Let me share another secret: the feeling of relief is one of the most powerful feelings you can cultivate. When you try to get something, you feel tension. But when you have something, you feel relief. This is why it's so important to capture
and maintain the feeling of relief that comes with fulfillment. I've taught thousands of students, and those who succeed are invariably those who master this art of feeling relief instead of trying. They learn to live from the end instead of trying to reach the end; they understand that the end is where we begin, not where we arrive. Now, some of you might be thinking, "But my desire seems so big, so impossible." Let me remind you of something: size exists only in the world of effects, not in consciousness. In consciousness, the... Oak is not bigger than the
acorn; they are the same thing in different states. Your desire, no matter how grand it seems, is not bigger than your capacity to assume its fulfillment. This is why scripture tells us, "All things are possible to him that believeth." Notice it doesn't say, "to him that tries," but "to him that believeth." Belief is not trying to believe; it is the feeling of knowing. When you know something, you don't try to know it; you simply know it. Let me tell you about one of my most remarkable students. She was a woman who had been deaf in
one ear for over 40 years. Medical science had declared her condition permanent, but she understood this principle deeply. Instead of trying to hear, she assumed she was hearing perfectly. She didn't try to heal her ear; she simply lived from the assumption of perfect hearing. Within two months, her hearing was completely restored by her doctors. This brings us to what I call the law of perpetual creation. Every moment of your life, you are creating through your assumptions. When you try to get something, you are assuming you don't have it and therefore creating more of not having
it. This is why it's so crucial to master your assumptions. Here’s a practical exercise I call the daily reset. Three times each day—morning, noon, and night—take a moment to reset your assumptions. Ask yourself, "If I had what I desire, what would I be assuming right now?" Then assume that. Don't try to make it true; know that your assumption makes it true. Remember the biblical story of the Prodigal Son. Notice that the father didn't try to make his son return; he assumed the return in his heart, and that assumption drew the son home. This is how
your consciousness works: it draws to you whatever you assume to be true. Let me share one more technique: the MIRAC method. When you look in the mirror, don't try to see what you want to see. Instead, assume you are seeing what you want to see. Your physical reflection may not change immediately, but persist in this assumption, and your reflection must conform to your consciousness. Now, some of you might be wondering about action. Remember this principle: right action flows naturally from right consciousness. When you assume the state of your wish fulfilled, you will be moved to
take whatever action is necessary, but it will be inspired action, not desperate action. Consider how you act when you have something you once wanted. There's no trying, no forcing, no struggling; you simply act from the state of having it. This is how you should act now—from the assumption of already being or having what you desire. Let me address those of you who are impatient for results. Impatience is just another form of trying. When you truly assume something is yours, you become patient because you know it's already yours. The seed doesn't try to become a tree;
it contains the tree and naturally becomes it. Here's what I call the Sabbath state. In this state, you rest from all trying because you know it is finished. This doesn't mean you become inactive; it means you act from the certainty of fulfillment rather than the uncertainty of trying to achieve. Remember, every time you find yourself trying, it's your signaling. Don't try to stop trying; that's more trying. Instead, simply assume the state where trying is unnecessary because you already have what you desire. As we conclude tonight, let me leave you with this final truth: you are
not going to get what you want; you are going to get what you are. Therefore, instead of trying to get something, be the person who already has it. Live from that assumption and watch as your world reshapes itself to match your new state of consciousness. The practice is simple, but it requires vigilance. Watch your assumptions as carefully as you would watch your step in a dangerous place. Your assumptions are creating your future right now. Remember this principle: "Stop trying to get it." Habit is not just a technique; it's a fundamental law of consciousness. It operates
whether you believe in it or not, just as gravity operates whether you believe in it or not. Go forth now—not to try, but to assume; not to become, but to be; not to get, but to have. For in consciousness, where all creation takes place, what you assume as true is true, and what you believe you have, you have. And now, my dear friends, our discussion comes to a close. But remember, what you've heard tonight is not just information to be remembered; it's truth to be lived. Let every moment of trying become your reminder to assume.
Let every appearance of lack become your opportunity to assume abundance, for in the end, it is not the trying but the assuming that creates your world. When you truly understand this, you will know the peace that comes from ceasing all trying and resting in the assumption of your wish fulfilled. Good night, and God bless you all. Let me share something remarkable with you. Last week, a man came to me after one of my lectures. He was successful by worldly standards—wealthy, respected, accomplished—yet there was an emptiness in his eyes that spoke volumes. He said to me,
"Neville, I've achieved everything I thought I wanted, but I still don't know who I am." You see, my beloved friends, this is the greatest tragedy of human existence: to live an entire life without discovering your true identity. Most people live and die as strangers to themselves, wearing masks so long they've forgotten their true face. Tonight, I want to share with you the profound truth that has transformed countless lives—the truth that will set you free from all limitations. You truly grasp it: that truth is simply this: you are the living manifestation of God Himself, temporarily dwelling
in human form. Now, I know this might sound startling to some of you. You might be thinking, "Neville, surely you don't mean that literally," but I tell you with every fiber of my being, I mean exactly that. Let me share with you why this is not blasphemy, but the very truth that scripture has been trying to tell us. You see, when God speaks of Himself in scripture, He uses one name above all others: "I am." When Moses asked God His name, God replied, "I am that I am." This wasn't just some mystical answer; it was
the revelation of God's nature and, by extension, your nature. Think about it, my dear friends: what is the one thing you cannot deny about yourself? What is the one thing that remains constant throughout all your experiences? It is the simple awareness of being. I here before you say, "I am rich" or "I am poor," "I am successful" or "I am failing." There must first be this fundamental "I am." This "I am" is God Himself expressing as you. This is why Jesus said, "I and my Father are one." He wasn't claiming something unique to Himself; He
was revealing a universal truth about human identity. Let me share an experience that will help illuminate this profound truth. A lady came to me burdened with years of self-doubt and limitation. I asked her to do a simple exercise: for the next five minutes, I said, strip away every label you've ever accepted about yourself. Remove every role, every title, every description. What remains? At first, she was uncomfortable with this exercise. Like most people, she had built her identity on external things—her roles, her relationships, her achievements. But as she persisted, something remarkable happened: she touched that pure
awareness, that simple "I am," and in that moment, she knew who she truly was. You see, my wonderful friends, finding out who you are is not a process of accumulating more knowledge or gathering more experiences. It's actually a process of removing everything that you are not until only your true self remains. Think of it this way: if you had a golden statue and it was covered with layers of paint, finding the gold wouldn't involve adding anything; it would involve removing the layers that hide the gold. Your true self is like that gold—it's already there, perfect
and complete, hidden beneath layers of accumulated ideas about who you think you are. This is why scripture says, "Be still and know that I am God." Notice it doesn't say, "Think about God" or "Study about God." It says, "Be still and know." This knowing comes not through the mind, but through direct experience of your own being. Let me share with you the three fundamental truths about your identity that you must grasp. First truth: you are not your body. Your body is something you have, not something you are. You say "my body," just as you say
"my car" or "my house." Whatever you can possess cannot be what you are. Second truth: you are not your thoughts. You can observe your thoughts, which proves you are the observer, not the thoughts themselves. The true you is the awareness in which thoughts appear. Third truth: you are not your roles or your story. All these are temporary expressions, but you are the eternal expressor. These truths lead us to a profound question: if you are not your body, not your thoughts, and not your roles, then who are you? This is where we must enter into what
I call the sacred silence of self-discovery. Let me share something profound that happened in my own experience. One night, alone in my room in New York City, I entered into a state of deep contemplation. As I sat there, I began to strip away every concept I had ever had about myself. Layer after layer fell away until suddenly—and I want you to listen to this carefully—I experienced myself as pure awareness, boundless and eternal. You see, this is not just theory or philosophy; this is practical metaphysics that transforms your entire existence. Let me share with you the
three levels of self-discovery that you must navigate to find your true identity. The first level: the outer self. This is the self that most people live and die as—the personality, the social mask, the collection of habits and patterns that we show to the world. It's like an actor immersed in a role that he has forgotten he is acting. Let me share a perfect example: a successful doctor came to me completely identified with his profession. His entire sense of self was wrapped up in being Dr. Smith. When he lost his license due to a false accusation,
he fell into deep depression. Why? Because he had confused his role with his reality. You see, my wonderful friends, roles are necessary for the play of life, but they are not who you are. You are the actor behind every role. This brings us to our second level: the inner self. Beneath the outer personality lies what I call the inner self—the consciousness that observes all your experiences. This is closer to your true identity, but even this is not the final truth. Think about it this way: when you say, "I had a thought," who is the "I"
that had the thought? When you say, "I had a feeling," who is the "I" that experienced the feeling? There must be something prior to thoughts and feelings—something that is aware of them. This is why scripture says, "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you"; it is pointing to this deeper level of self, this inner witness that witnesses all experiences but remains untouched by them. The third level, the Divine Self. Now we come to the ultimate truth about your identity: what I call the Divine Self. This is not something to be achieved or attained; it is what
you eternally are. It is the I AM that never changes, never begins, and never ends. Let me share a profound technique for discovering this Divine Self. I call it the reverse inquiry. Instead of asking, "Who am I?" assume the position of pure awareness and ask, "Who is asking this question?" Keep following this inquiry back until you reach the source of all questions. You see, my beloved friends, discovering who you are is not really a process of becoming something new; it's a process of uncovering what you eternally are. It's like the sun hidden behind clouds. The
clouds may come and go, but the sun remains eternally itself. This is why Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." He wasn't speaking of the personal Jesus, but of this eternal I AM that is your true identity. You must learn to distinguish between your eternal nature and its temporary expressions. Let me share with you three practical exercises for discovering your true self. The first exercise: the Silent Witness. Throughout your day, practice being aware of being aware. Don't just experience your experiences; notice that you are the awareness in which all experiences appear. The second exercise: the
Sacred Question. Repeatedly ask yourself, "Who is aware of this moment?" Don't accept any verbal answer; let the question take you deeper into pure awareness. The third exercise: the Divine Recognition. Whatever you experience, recognize that you are the consciousness in which it appears. You are not the passing show, but the eternal witness of the show. You see, my wonderful friends, most people spend their entire lives trying to become something, trying to achieve something, trying to gather experiences. But I tell you this: all that effort is taking you away from the simple truth of who you already
are. Think about it: when you say "I AM," you're expressing the same I AM that God expressed when He declared, "I AM that I AM." This I AM is your true identity. Everything else—your personality, your achievements, your roles—these are merely costumes worn by the eternal I AM. Let me share something remarkable about this truth: once you discover who you really are, all effort ceases. You no longer need to try to become anything because you recognize that you are already everything. This is why scripture says, "Be still and know that I AM God." My wonderful friends,
now we come to what I consider the most transformative aspect of self-discovery: the power of recognizing your true self. This is not merely an intellectual understanding but a living experience that would revolutionize your entire existence. Let me share something profound that occurred during one of my deep meditations. I suddenly realized that everything I had been seeking—peace, joy, fulfillment—was not something to be achieved, but something to be recognized as my very nature. This recognition, my dear friends, is what I call the ultimate revolution. You see, there's a fundamental difference between knowing something intellectually and recognizing it
as your very being. Let me illustrate this with a story that perfectly captures this truth: a lion cub was raised among sheep. It bleated like a sheep, ate grass like a sheep, and thought itself to be a sheep. One day, an adult lion saw this peculiar sight and roared with laughter. The cub, frightened, tried to bleat and run away. The adult lion caught him and dragged him to a clear pool of water. For the first time, the cub saw his own reflection alongside the adult lion's. In that moment of recognition, something profound happened: the cub
didn't become a lion; he recognized that he had always been one. This, my beloved friends, is exactly what must happen to you. You are not becoming God; you are recognizing that you have always been the very expression of God Himself. This is why scripture declares, "Know ye not that ye are gods?" Let me share with you the three stages of self-recognition. The first stage: the recognition of presence. Begin by recognizing that before you are anything, you are. Before you are male or female, rich or poor, successful or unsuccessful, you simply are. This pure sense of
being, this I AM, is your first clue to your true identity. Think about it: you never experience yourself as absent. You might experience different states and different circumstances, but you never experience your own absence. This is because you are the eternal presence in which all experiences appear. The second stage: the recognition of awareness. Now go deeper. Recognize that you are not just present; you are aware. This awareness is not something you have; it is what you are. Everything else appears and disappears in this vast awareness, but the awareness itself never changes. Let me share a
practical exercise I call the awareness watch. Throughout your day, whenever you remember, notice that you are aware. Don't try to analyze or understand awareness; simply recognize that you are the awareness in which everything appears. The third stage: the recognition of identity. This is the deepest recognition: that this awareness, this presence, is not just a quality you possess but is your very identity. It is the I AM that God claimed Himself to be. You see, my wonderful friends, most spiritual seekers make a fundamental mistake. They try to reach God, try to connect with God, try to
become one with God. But I tell you this: you cannot reach what you already are. You cannot connect with what you've never been separated from. You cannot become what you eternally are. Let me share with you what I call the three great illusions that prevent self-recognition. The first... Illusion: the illusion of separation. You believe you are separate from God, separate from your good, separate from what you desire. This is the fundamental illusion that must be dissolved through self-recognition. The second illusion: the illusion of becoming. You believe you must become something other than what you are.
This keeps you perpetually seeking, never finding. The third illusion: the illusion of distance. You believe that what you seek is far away, in some distant future or place. This prevents you from recognizing what is already here, already you. Now, let me share with you a profound technique for dissolving these illusions. I call it the recognition practice. Sit quietly and follow these steps: recognize that you are aware right now; recognize that this awareness is not something you created or achieved; recognize that this awareness is the same awareness that God declared as "I am." Recognize that you
are this "I am." You see, my dear friends, the scripture says, "Be still and know that I am God." Notice it doesn't say "become God" or "reach God"; it says "know." This knowing is recognition. Let me share something remarkable about this recognition: when you truly recognize who you are, everything changes while nothing changes. The world remains exactly as it is, but your experience of it is completely transformed. Consider this profound truth: the sun doesn't need to do anything to be the sun. It doesn't need to practice being the sun or try to become a better
sun; it simply is what it is. And from that natural state, it illuminates everything. In the same way, once you recognize who you really are, you no longer need to try to be anything. Your natural state is complete fulfillment, complete peace, complete joy. These are not states to be achieved, but your very nature to be recognized. Let me begin with something that happened just yesterday. A gentleman approached me after my lecture, deeply troubled. He said, "Nille, I understand intellectually that I am God's perfect expression, but my daily experience shows me something entirely different." This, my
wonderful friends, is the gap we must bridge—the gap between intellectual understanding and lived experience. You see, living from your true identity is not about adding anything to yourself; it's about removing the veils that hide your true nature. Let me share with you what I call the three veils of forgetfulness. The first veil: the body identity. Most people are completely identified with their body; they think, "I am this body." But I tell you this: you are not the body; you are the consciousness that animates the body. Your body is in you; you are not in the
body. Let me share a profound exercise called the "cool down." It's just the shift throughout your day: whenever you remember, shift your identity from body to consciousness. Instead of thinking, "I am walking," recognize, "I am aware of walking." Instead of "I am eating," recognize, "I am aware of eating." You see, this simple shift begins to loosen the grip of body identification. It's like stepping back from a movie screen and recognizing that you are the awareness in which the movie appears. The second veil: the thought identity. Deeper than body identification is thought identification. People believe they
are their thoughts, but ask yourself this: if you are your thoughts, who is aware of the thoughts? Let me share something remarkable about thoughts: they come and go, appear and disappear, but you, the awareness in which thoughts appear, remain constant. You are not the passing clouds of thought, but the unchanging sky of awareness. Here's a practical technique I call the thought witness. Throughout your day, practice watching your thoughts without becoming involved in them. See them as clouds passing through the sky of your awareness. Don't try to change them or control them; simply witness them. The
third veil: the story identity. This is perhaps the subtlest veil—the story you tell about yourself: your past, your failures, your successes, your relationships. All these form a story, and most people completely identify with this story. But I tell you this: you are not your story; you are the awareness in which all stories appear. This is why scripture says, "Behold, I make all things new." When you recognize your true identity, you are free to create a new story at any moment. Now let me share with you the three stages of living from your true identity. The
first stage: recognition throughout the day. Begin by recognizing your true nature as pure awareness throughout your daily activities. Whether you're at work, at home, or in conversation, maintain the recognition that you are not the doer, but the awareness in which doing happens. I call this the constant recognition practice. No matter what you're doing, maintain the background awareness of your true nature, like a screen that remains unchanged while different movies play upon it. You remain the unchanging awareness while life's experiences flow through you. The second stage: living from wholeness. Most people live from a sense of
lack, constantly trying to add something to themselves to become complete. But when you recognize your true identity, you live from wholeness. Let me share a profound truth: everything you seek—peace, joy, love, abundance—these are not things to be achieved, but your very nature to be recognized. When you live from wholeness, you no longer seek anything because you recognize that you are everything. Here's a practical application I call the wholeness recognition. Before you begin any activity, recognize that you are already complete. You are not doing the activity to become something; you’re doing it as an expression of
what you already are. The third stage: divine expression. This is the highest stage of living from true identity. Here, you recognize that every action, every word, every thought is not yours, but God's expression through you. You see, my wonderful friends... When Jesus said, "I and my Father are one," he wasn't making a personal claim; he was declaring a universal truth about your identity. You are not a human being trying to express Divinity; you are a Divine being expressing through human form. Let me share with you what I call the Divine Expression Practice. Throughout your day,
before any action, silently acknowledge: "God Himself is expressing as this action through me." This transforms every mundane activity into a sacred expression. Now let me address something crucial: some of you might be thinking, "But Nille, if I am a Divine being, why do I experience limitations and problems?" This is where we must understand the difference between your true identity and your current state of consciousness. Your true identity is like the sun, eternally shining, but your state of consciousness is like the clouds that can temporarily obscure the sun. The sun hasn't changed or diminished; it's simply
hidden from view. This is why scripture says, "Put off the old man and put on the new man." The old man is your limited state of consciousness; the new man is your true identity as a Divine being. For you see, while your true identity never changes, your experience of life is determined by the state of consciousness you occupy. Let me share something remarkable that happened during one of my experiments with consciousness. I was in New York, physically present in my small apartment, but I had learned to occupy the state of consciousness of being in Barbados.
Within weeks, against all physical evidence and probability, I found myself actually in Barbados. This, my dear friends, is the power of consciousness. You see, states of consciousness are like rooms in a vast mansion; your true identity, the "I am," is the inhabitant who can move from room to room. Let me share with you what I call the three levels of conscious transformation. The first level is the recognition of states. Most people are completely identified with their current state. If they're in a state of lack, they believe they are lacking; if they're in a state of
illness, they believe they are ill. But I tell you this: you are not the state; you are the awareness that can occupy different states. Let me share a practical technique I call the State Observer. Throughout your day, practice observing your current state without identifying with it. Instead of saying, "I am depressed," recognize, "I am aware of experiencing a state of depression." This simple shift begins to free you from identification with states. The second level is movement between states. Once you recognize that you are not the state but the occupant of states, you can learn to
move between them at will. This is what scripture means when it says, "In my Father's house are many mansions." Here's what I call the State Shift Practice: Choose a state you wish to occupy—let's say the state of abundance. First, recognize that this state already exists; you're not creating it; you're moving into it. Then ask yourself, "What would I be thinking, feeling, and experiencing if I were in that state right now?" You see, my beloved friends, this is not imagination as people commonly understand it; this is the actual movement of consciousness from one state to another.
The outer world must then reorganize itself to match your new state. The third level is permanent transformation. This is the highest level of conscious transformation, where you learn to stabilize in higher states of consciousness. Let me share something profound about this level: most people visit higher states occasionally—moments of peace, joy, or clarity—but they don't know how to remain there. They're like someone who visits a beautiful mansion but doesn't know they can live there permanently. I call this the Divine Occupation; it's the art of not just visiting but occupying divine states of consciousness. Here's how you
practice it: First, choose a chosen state—let's say the state of perfect peace. Second, recognize that this state is your natural state as a Divine being. Third, instead of trying to achieve peace, assume you are peace itself. Fourth, live from this assumption regardless of external circumstances. Now let me share with you what I call the three obstacles to transformation that you must understand and overcome. The first obstacle is mental habits. Your old patterns of thinking will try to pull you back to familiar states. This is why scripture says, "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your
mind." Let me share a technique I call the Pattern Breaker: whenever you catch yourself in an old thought pattern, stop and ask, "Who is aware of this pattern?" This immediately shifts you back to your true identity as the awareness. The second obstacle is emotional attachments. Even when we want to change, we often have hidden attachments to our current state. This is why Jesus said, "Let the dead bury their dead." Here is what I call the emotional release: recognize that your emotions are not you; they are experiences passing through you. You can let them go because
you are the unchanging awareness in which they appear. The third obstacle is physical evidence. The physical world will continue to show you evidence of your old state while your new state is taking root. This is where most people falter. Remember this profound truth: the physical world is not the cause of your state of consciousness; it is the effect. When you maintain a new state despite contrary evidence, the evidence must change to match your state. Let me share with you the three laws of conscious transformation. The first law is the Law of Consciousness: whatever state you
occupy in consciousness, you must express and experience. The second law is the Law of Assumption: you become what you assume yourself to be. The third law is the Law of Expression: your outer world is the expression of your inner state. My dear friends, tonight we enter into the very heart... Of conscious transformation, the practice of perfect states—this is where we move beyond mere understanding into the actual art of living from enlightened consciousness. Let me share something remarkable that occurred just last week: a lady came to me in deep distress about her financial situation. Instead of
trying to change her circumstances, I showed her how to occupy the state of divine abundance. Within days, opportunities began appearing that she hadn't seen before. You see, it wasn't the world that changed; it was her state of consciousness. Let's explore what I call the three perfect states that form the foundation of enlightened living. The first perfect state: divine love. Most people think of love as an emotion or a relationship between separate beings, but I tell you this: divine love is a state of consciousness—your natural state as a divine being. Let me share a profound practice
I call the love recognition. Throughout your day, recognize that love is not something you feel, but what you are. Instead of trying to feel love, recognize that you are love itself expressing. You see, when Jesus said, "God is love," he wasn't describing a quality of God; he was describing God's very nature, which is your nature. This recognition transforms every relationship because you're no longer trying to get love or give love—you are being love. The second perfect state: divine wisdom. Wisdom is not accumulated knowledge but a state of consciousness that knows through direct recognition. It's what
scripture means by "Be still and know." Here's what I call the wisdom practice: before making any decision, shift from thinking to direct knowing. Instead of analyzing pros and cons, enter the state of divine wisdom and let the answer reveal itself. You see, my wonderful friends, when you occupy the state of divine wisdom, you have access to all knowledge. This is why Solomon didn't ask for knowledge; he asked for wisdom, and all knowledge was included. The third perfect state: divine power. True power is not the ability to control or dominate, but the state of knowing that
all power flows through you as divine expression. Let me share the power recognition practice: throughout your day, recognize that any power you express—whether thinking, speaking, or acting—is not your personal power but divine power expressing through you. Now let me share with you the three stages of practicing perfect states. The first stage: recognition. Begin by recognizing that perfect states are not something to achieve but your natural condition to realize. Like the sun doesn't practice shining; it simply is. Likewise, you don't need to practice perfection; you need to recognize your perfect nature. Practice what I call the
perfect recognition: throughout your day, before any activity, recognize, "I am the perfect expression of divine being expressing as this activity." The second stage: occupation. This is where you learn to fully occupy perfect states regardless of external conditions. Most people let circumstances determine their state, but I tell you this: you must determine your state regardless of circumstances. Here's a profound technique I call state occupation: choose a perfect state—let's say divine peace. Now occupy that state completely, letting go of all resistance to current conditions. You're not trying to change conditions; you're occupying the state that will naturally
transform them. The third stage: expression. This is where perfect states become your natural way of being. You no longer need to think about occupying them because you recognize they are your true nature. Let me share what I call the three aspects of perfect expression. The first aspect: spontaneous expression. Perfect states express spontaneously, without effort or planning. Second aspect: complete expression. Perfect states express completely, not partially or gradually. Third aspect: eternal expression. Perfect states express eternally, not temporarily or conditionally. Now let me address something crucial about practicing perfect states. Many people ask, "But Neville, how can
I maintain perfect states when the world shows me imperfection?" Remember this profound truth: the world you see is the out-picturing of your state of consciousness. When you occupy a perfect state, the world must transform to match that state. This is why scripture says, "Be ye perfect, as your Father in heaven is perfect." Let me share with you what I call the three keys to maintaining perfect states. The first key: absolute recognition. Recognize that perfection is not a future achievement but your present nature. The second key: complete acceptance. Accept your perfect nature without trying to improve
or change it. The third key: natural expression. Let perfection express naturally, without forcing or controlling. I want to reveal to you why these words hold such tremendous power and how you can use them to manifest everything you've ever desired. You see, most people spend their entire lives searching outside themselves for power, for permission, for validation. They believe their desires must be achieved through hard work, struggle, and external forces. But I tell you this: all power resides within your own consciousness. When you declare, "I am the power," you are acknowledging the fundamental truth of existence. You
are recognizing that the force that moves the stars and grows the flowers is the same force that flows through your consciousness. Let me tell you something profound about these four words: when you speak them, you're not making a mere affirmation; you're declaring your true nature, your essential being. You're acknowledging the creative force within you. Consider this: every great achievement in human history began with someone recognizing their inner power. They didn't wait for external permission; they didn't seek validation from others. They understood that all power flows from within. You see, most people have it backward: they
say, "When I have this, then I will be powerful." But I tell you this: you must first assume your power, and then all things become possible. These four words, "I am the power," are not just words to be spoken; they must be felt. They must be lived; they must become your dominant state of consciousness. Let me share with you what happens when you truly embody these words: the entire universe must reorganize itself to reflect your new self-concept. This is not metaphysics; this is law. Most of you sit here tonight thinking about what you want to
manifest, but I tell you this: manifestation is not about getting something you don't have. It's about revealing what already exists within your consciousness. When you declare, "I am the power," you're not creating power; you're acknowledging what has always been true. This recognition changes everything. Your entire world must shift to align with this declaration. You see, most people approach manifestation like beggars, hoping and wishing for their desires to be granted. But when you know, "I am the power," you approach life as a creator, knowing that what you decree must manifest. Let me share something profound about
consciousness: your consciousness is the only reality. Everything you see in your world is simply consciousness made visible. Therefore, when you declare, "I am the power," you're literally reshaping your entire universe. Think about this: every morning when you wake up, you're either reinforcing your powerlessness or claiming your power. There's no neutral position. Every thought, every feeling, every assumption is either aligning with "I am the power" or denying it. You see, these four words are not just a positive affirmation; they are a recognition of the fundamental truth of your being. When you truly grasp this, manifestation becomes
as natural as breathing. Most of you have been taught to look for power in external circumstances, in money, in relationships, in social status. But I tell you this: all these things are merely effects; the cause lies in your consciousness. Consider what happens when you truly know, "I am the power." You no longer beg, you no longer plead, you no longer hope; you simply decree, and by law, your decree must manifest. Let me share with you why these words are so transformative. When you declare, "I am the power," you're shifting your entire self-concept. You're no longer
seeing yourself as a victim of circumstances, but as the creator of circumstances. You see, most people spend their lives reacting to what they see, but when you know, "I am the power," you understand that what you see is simply your consciousness pushed out. Therefore, to change what you see, you must change your consciousness. Think about this: every great achievement began with someone knowing they were the power. They didn't wait for conditions to change; they changed conditions by changing their consciousness. Let me share with you what happens in the depths of consciousness when you truly embody
these four words: your entire world begins to reorganize itself to match your new self-concept. You see, most people believe their circumstances dictate their state of being, but when you declare, "I am the power," you reverse this process. Your state of being now dictates your circumstances. Consider this: every moment of your life, you're either expressing power or expressing limitation. There is no middle ground. When you truly grasp these four words, you cease giving power to external conditions. Let me tell you something profound about manifestation: when you know, "I am the power," you stop asking how things
will manifest. You understand that the power that knows the way will make the way. Most of you sit here tonight thinking about your problems, your limitations, your obstacles, but I tell you this: these are merely shadows cast by a consciousness that has forgotten, "I am the power." You see, when you truly embody these four words, you enter a new dimension of being. In this dimension, problems don't need to be solved; they simply dissolve in the light of your consciousness. Think about this: everything you see in your world right now is the result of your previous
concepts about yourself. Change the concept by knowing, "I am the power," and your world must change. Let me share with you the true meaning of these words: when you declare, "I am the power," you're not making a positive statement; you're acknowledging your true identity. Most of you have been taught to look for causes outside yourself, but when you know, "I am the power," you understand that you are the only cause in your world. Consider this carefully: every condition in your life right now is simply a shadow of your consciousness. When you truly know, "I am
the power," you cease fighting shadows and start changing consciousness. Let me tell you about the transformative nature of these four words: when you declare, "I am the power," you're not just changing your thoughts; you're changing the very foundation of your reality. You see, most people live their entire lives believing they're victims of circumstances, but when you truly embody "I am the power," you understand that circumstances are merely reflections of consciousness. Consider what happens when you wake up each morning knowing, "I am the power." Suddenly, obstacles become opportunities; problems become possibilities; every challenge becomes a chance
to demonstrate your creative power. Let me share something profound about these words: when you declare, "I am the power," you're not making a future promise; you're claiming a present reality. This distinction changes everything. Most of you sit here thinking about what you want to create in your future, but I tell you this: there is no future creation; there's only present assumption. When you know, "I am the power," you understand that what you assume now must manifest. You see, these four words are not just a statement; they are a complete shift in consciousness. When you truly
embody them, you stop looking outside yourself for anything. Think about this: every time you say, "I can't" or "It's too difficult," you're denying these four words. You're giving your power away to external conditions. Let me tell you what happens when you consistently maintain this... Consciousness: your entire world must reshape itself to reflect your new self-concept. Most of you have spent years accumulating evidence of your limitations, but when you know "I am the power," you understand that all past evidence is irrelevant; only your present assumption matters. Consider this: every great achievement in your life began with
a shift in consciousness. When you knew you could, you did. These four words simply make this knowing permanent. Let me share with you something profound about these four words that most will never understand. When you declare, "I am the power," you're not just making a statement; you're activating the very force that created the universe. You see, most people spend their lives waiting for permission to be powerful. They wait for the right circumstances, the right credentials, the right moment. But I tell you this: the only permission you need is your own recognition that "I am the
power." Consider what happens in your world when you truly embody these words. Your relationships change because you no longer seek power from others. Your work transforms because you no longer depend on external validation. Your entire life shifts because you're operating from a new dimension of consciousness. Let me tell you about the subtle shift that occurs when you consistently maintain this state: you stop asking, "When will my desire manifest?" because you understand that manifestation is not a future event; it's a present moment recognition. Most of you have been taught that power is something to be acquired,
but when you declare, "I am the power," you understand that power is your natural state. Everything else is learned powerlessness. You see, these four words challenge everything you've been taught about cause and effect. When you know "I am the power," you understand that consciousness is the only cause and everything else is effect. Think about this: every time you say, "I hope" or "I wish," you're denying these four words. You're placing power outside yourself in some future event or external circumstance. Let me share with you what happens when you maintain this consciousness consistently: your entire world
must rearrange itself to match your new self-concept. This is not theory; this is law. Most of you sit here tonight thinking about your past failures, your current limitations, your future obstacles, but I tell you this: all of these are merely shadows cast by a consciousness that has forgotten, "I am the power." Consider this: every moment of your life, you're either expressing power or expressing limitation. There is no neutral ground. When you truly grasp these four words, you cease giving power to anything external. Let me reveal to you the deeper meaning behind these four words. When
you declare, "I am the power," you're not making a casual statement; you're aligning yourself with the fundamental creative force of the universe. You see, most people live their entire lives believing that power lies in their actions, their resources, their connections. But I tell you this: all these are merely expressions of consciousness. When you know "I am the power," your actions flow from this knowing. Consider what happens when you approach each day from this consciousness: you no longer wake up wondering what the day will bring. You wake up knowing that you bring to the day whatever
you decree in consciousness. Let me tell you about the transformation that occurs when you live from these four words: you stop seeking validation from others because you understand that all validation comes from within. You stop fighting circumstances because you know that circumstances are merely shadows. Most of you have spent years trying to change effects while leaving the cause untouched, but when you declare, "I am the power," you go straight to the cause: your own consciousness. You see, these four words contain within them the secret of all creation. When you truly embody them, you understand that
everything in your world is simply your consciousness pushed out. Think about this: every time you blame external conditions for your state, you're denying these four words. You're giving away your creative power to shadows. Let me share with you what happens when this consciousness becomes natural to you: you stop asking, "How will this happen?" because you understand that the power that knows the way will make the way. Most of you sit here thinking about what's possible and what's impossible, but I tell you this: possibility and impossibility exist only in consciousness. When you know "I am the
power," all things become possible. Consider this: every limitation in your life right now exists only because you've accepted it in consciousness. When you truly embody these four words, all limitations dissolve. Let me share with you something profound about these four words that will forever change how you view manifestation. When you declare, "I am the power," you're not just speaking words; you're awakening to your true identity. You see, most people spend their lives seeking power through achievement, through accumulation, through recognition. But I tell you this: all seeking ends when you realize that you are what you've
been seeking. Consider what happens when you truly grasp these words: you stop looking for signs, you stop waiting for permission, you stop seeking approval because when you know "I am the power," what else could you possibly need? Let me tell you about the shift that occurs in your relationships when you embody these words: you no longer need others to complete you, to validate you, to empower you. You become complete within yourself, and paradoxically, this completeness attracts more fulfilling relationships. Most of you have been taught that power comes from doing, but when you declare, "I am
the power," you understand that power comes from being. Your doing then flows naturally from your being. You see, these four words revolutionize your entire approach to manifestation. You stop trying to make things happen and start allowing them to unfold from your consciousness. Time you say, "I'll try" or "I hope," you're actually denying your power; you're placing the fulfillment of your desires in some uncertain future. Let me share with you what happens when you maintain this consciousness consistently: your entire world must reshape itself to reflect this new self-concept. This is not magic; this is law. Most
of you sit here tonight thinking about what you need to do to manifest your desires, but I tell you this: manifestation is not about doing; it's about being. When you know, "I am the power," the doing takes care of itself. Consider this: every great achievement in history began with someone knowing their power. They didn't wait for conditions to be perfect; they understood that conditions respond to consciousness. See, most people spend their lives in reaction mode—responding to circumstances, adapting to conditions. But I tell you this: when you know "I am the power," you create circumstances; you
determine conditions. Consider what happens when you approach each moment from this consciousness: you no longer see problems as obstacles; you see them as opportunities to demonstrate your creative power. Let me tell you about the transformation that occurs in your financial world when you embody these words: money ceases to be something you chase and becomes something you attract through your consciousness of abundance. Most of you have been programmed to believe that success requires struggle, but when you declare, "I am the power," you understand that success is simply the natural expression of your consciousness. You see, these
four words completely transform your relationship with time. When you truly know "I am the power," you cease postponing your good to some future date. Think about this: every time you say, "When I have this, then I'll be powerful," you're denying your present power; you're placing your power in external conditions. Let me share with you what happens when this consciousness becomes your natural state: your entire experience of reality shifts. What seemed impossible becomes inevitable. Most of you sit here tonight thinking about your past failures, your present limitations, your future uncertainties, but I tell you this: all
these are merely shadows cast by a consciousness that has forgotten its power. Consider this: every moment of your life, you're either expressing power or expressing limitation; there's no middle ground. When you truly grasp these four words, you cease giving power to anything external. Let me share with you the final and most crucial understanding about these four words: when you declare, "I am the power," you are making the ultimate declaration of independence from all external influences. You see, tonight marks a turning point in your life. From this moment forward, you will never again see yourself as
powerless. You will never again give your power away to circumstances, to other people, or to past experiences. Consider this moment right now as you sit here absorbing these words: you have a choice. You can continue living as you have been—seeing power as something outside yourself—or you can claim your true identity by knowing, "I am the power." Let me tell you what your world will look like when you fully embody these words: everything that once seemed like an obstacle will become a stepping stone; every challenge will become an opportunity to demonstrate your creative power. Most of
you came here tonight seeking answers, but I tell you this: the only answer you need is already within you. It is the knowing, the absolute conviction that "I am the power." You see, these four words are not just a technique or a method; they are a complete revolution in consciousness. When you truly embody them, your entire world must transform. Think about tomorrow morning when you wake up: will you rise as the same person who came here tonight, or will you rise knowing, "I am the power," ready to create your day consciously? Let me share with
you this final truth: there's no power outside of you. There never was and there never will be. All power resides in consciousness, and you are that consciousness. From this moment forward, let every breath you take be a reminder that "I am the power." Let every heartbeat affirm this truth. Let every step you take be from this consciousness. Remember, you are not becoming powerful; you are simply recognizing what has always been true. You are the power that creates worlds. You are the power that moves mountains. You are the power that transforms lives. Tonight, make this sacred
commitment to yourself: promise that you will never again deny your power. Promise that you will never again give your power away. Promise that you will live every moment from the consciousness that "I am the power." For this promise lies your freedom, and this recognition lies your transformation. In this knowing lies everything you have ever desired. Go forth now, not as seekers, but as knowers; not as hopeful dreamers, but as conscious creators; not as victims of circumstances. That is the "M" for when you know—truly know—"I am the power," nothing in this world can stand against you.
Nothing can deny you; nothing can limit you. This is your moment; this is your time; this is your power. Now rise up and claim it. Rise up and live it. Rise up and be it. For you are the power. You have always been the power, and you will always be the power. Let this be your final understanding, your ultimate truth, your eternal knowing: "I am the power." And so it is. You are here because your imagination—that divine and creative force within you—has drawn you to this exact moment. Let us understand the profound truth: in all
existence, there are no accidents. Every moment, every encounter, every single word you're absorbing right now was predetermined by the state of consciousness you have been occupying. Your presence here is a testament to the... the law that governs all things: the law of consciousness. You see, while millions walk this Earth, only a select few will receive this message—not because it's hidden, not because it's exclusive, but because only those who are ready to awaken to their true power will be drawn to it. This is the law, working with mathematical precision. Consider, for a moment, out of all
the possible moments in time, out of all the possible messages you could be receiving, you are here now, reading these words. This is not coincidence. This is consciousness expressing itself through the perfect pattern of divine timing. Now let me share with you what I know to be true through my own experience: the very fact that you are here means you have reached a point in your spiritual evolution where you are ready to understand the deeper mysteries of existence. You are ready to grasp that which only a few will ever comprehend. Your outer world, every detail
of it, is nothing more than your consciousness pushed out. The fact that you are receiving this message now is evidence that within you there exists a state of readiness, a state of spiritual receptivity that has manifested this very moment. Many will say this is too simple to be true. They will look for complexity, for difficult paths and arduous journeys. But I tell you this: the greatest truths are always the simplest. The truth that your consciousness is the only reality is so simple that most will miss it entirely. Now let me share with you why this
message finds only those who are ready to receive it. You see, in this vast world of endless chatter and noise, only those who have reached a certain frequency of consciousness will be able to hear these words and understand their profound meaning. Consciousness, being the only reality, operates with perfect precision. Just as a radio must be tuned to the exact frequency to receive a particular broadcast, your consciousness had to be tuned to this exact spiritual frequency to receive this message. This is not theory; this is law. Consider for a moment: there are billions of thoughts being
thought at this very instant, countless words being spoken and written, yet you are here, your attention fixed on these specific words. This is not random. This is the law of consciousness operating with divine accuracy. I tell you with absolute certainty, your presence here is a sign that you have been prepared—through all your past experiences, through every moment of doubt and questioning—to receive this truth. You have been led here by the God within you, that infinite creative power that is your true self. Now let us understand something fundamental about this moment. While others are seeking external
solutions, running from teacher to teacher, from book to book, you have been drawn to this message because somewhere within you there is a knowing—a knowing that what you seek is not outside of you, but within. Your consciousness, that infinite creative power, has brought you to this moment because you are ready to step into a new dimension of understanding. While others sleep in the dream of externalization, you are being awakened to the truth that all power lies within your own wonderful human imagination. Many will read these words and dismiss them, returning to their sleep of mortality.
But you—you who have been chosen by your own higher self to receive this message—will recognize the ring of truth in these words. You will feel the stirring of remembrance in your soul. The very fact that these words resonate with something deep within you is proof that you are among the few who are ready to awaken from the dream of limitation. While others continue to worship at the altar of external power, you are being called to recognize the God within. Now let us delve deeper into why this particular moment holds such significance. You see, in the
infinite sea of possibilities, your consciousness has drawn you to these words because you are ready to understand the magnitude of what I am about to share. This message is not meant for the masses—not because they are excluded, but because they are not yet ready to comprehend the profound simplicity of what I am sharing. They are still asleep in the dream of external causation, still believing that their reality is something happening to them rather than from them. Consider this: out of all the moments in time, out of all the possible messages you could be receiving, your
consciousness has orchestrated this precise encounter. This is not chance; this is divine law expressing itself through the perfect pattern of your awakening consciousness. I tell you with absolute certainty that the very fact that you find yourself drawn to these words is evidence of your spiritual readiness. While others chase shadows in the external world, you have been prepared to receive the truth that all creation begins within. Now let me share something that few will understand, but you will recognize as truth: your presence here, reading these words, is not separate from your desire to understand the deeper
mysteries of existence. Your desire and its fulfillment are one, happening in the eternal now. Most people will continue to believe that their desires are separate from their fulfillment, that there must be a gap in time between wanting and receiving. But you—you who have been drawn to this message—are ready to understand that desire and fulfillment are one, separated only by our consciousness of lack. You see, while others spend their lives waiting for something to happen to them, you are being awakened to the truth that everything happens from you. Your consciousness is the only reality, and everything
you experience is simply your consciousness pushed out into the world of shadows we call physical reality. The fact that you continue to resonate with these words is... proof that you are among the Chosen Few who are ready to step into their Divine inheritance—not chosen by any external Force, but chosen by your own expanded Consciousness, your own Readiness to receive this truth. Now let me reveal to you why this message finds only those who are prepared to receive it. In all of creation, there exists a perfect law that brings the Seeker to the truth precisely when
they are ready to embrace it—not a moment before, not a moment after. You see, while millions chase after material success and external validation, you have been drawn to these words because something within you— that Divine spark of awareness—recognizes a deeper truth. Your Consciousness has expanded to the point where you can receive what I am about to share. Consider this profound truth: in this very moment, countless individuals are seeking answers, yet only a precious few will encounter this message. This is not because the truth is hidden, but because Consciousness must be prepared to receive it. Just
as a seed must be ready before it can sprout, Consciousness must be ripened before it can embrace higher truth. I tell you with absolute certainty: your presence here is no accident. In the infinite wisdom of Divine Law, you have been brought to this exact moment because you are ready to step into a new dimension of understanding. While others remain caught in the web of external causes, you are being awakened to the truth that all causes lie within. Now let us understand something that few would ever grasp, but that you will recognize as truth. The very
fact that you are receiving this message is evidence that within you exists a state of consciousness that is ready to transcend the limitations of conventional thinking. You are ready to step into the awareness that your imagination is God in action within you. Most will continue to seek their good in the world of effects, never realizing that all effects spring from the one cause: Consciousness. But you— you who have been drawn to these words—are ready to understand that Consciousness is the only reality, and all else is merely its shadow. You see, while the masses continue to
pray to a god outside themselves, you are being awakened to the truth that the Kingdom of Heaven is within you. Your Consciousness is that Kingdom, and your imagination is the god power operating within it. Now let me share with you something that very few would ever understand, yet you will recognize its truth in the depths of your being. The fact that you continue reading these words is testament to a spiritual Readiness that has been cultivated through countless states of Consciousness. You see, while the masses remain hypnotized by the shadow world of effects, believing that what
they see is what creates their reality, you have been prepared to receive the reverse of this truth. Everything you see, everything you experience, is preceded by a state of consciousness that you have occupied. Consider this: at this very moment, billions of people are engaging with countless different messages, yet you are here, your attention fixed on these words. This is not chance, not coincidence, but the perfect operation of Divine Law. Your Consciousness has drawn you to exactly what it needs for its next level of unfoldment. I tell you with complete conviction: the very fact that these
words resonate within you is proof that you have reached a level of spiritual maturity that few attain in a single lifetime. While others chase after effects, you are being guided to understand the one and only cause: Consciousness itself. Now let us delve deeper into why this message finds so few ready recipients. You see, the human mind is conditioned to seek complexity, to believe that spiritual truth must be difficult to attain and must require years of study and practice. But I tell you this: the deepest truths are so simple that most will miss them entirely. Most
will continue to believe that their good must come from something or someone external to themselves. They will continue to worship at the altar of circumstances, never realizing that circumstances are merely the shadow cast by their own State of Consciousness. But you— you who have been drawn to this message—are ready to step into a new understanding. You see, while others spend their lives trying to change effects, you are being awakened to the truth that only cause can be changed, and that cause is your own wonderful human imagination. Your Consciousness is the only reality, and all phenomena
are simply Consciousness expressed. Now let me reveal to you something so profound yet so simple that most minds will reject it outright. The very moment you are experiencing now, reading these words, was created by a state of consciousness you occupied before you even knew of this message's existence. You see, while the world speaks of coincidence and chance, you are being awakened to understand that every moment is orchestrated by the law of Consciousness with mathematical precision. There are no accidents in a universe governed by law, and your presence here is evidence of this truth. Consider this
eternal principle: Consciousness is the only reality, and everything else is an effect of Consciousness. The fact that so few will receive this message is not because it is hidden, but because Consciousness must first be prepared to receive it. Like a radio must be tuned to the right frequency, Consciousness must be tuned to the frequency of truth. I tell you with absolute authority: your ability to understand and accept what I am sharing comes not from intellectual capacity, but from spiritual readiness. While millions remain caught in the hypnosis of materialism, you have been prepared through countless experiences
to receive this revelation. Now, let us understand why this message appears to so few. In the infinite wisdom of Divine Law, truth reveals itself only to those who are ready to embrace it. Those who have developed the consciousness to receive it—this is not exclusivity; this is the perfect operation of spiritual law. Most will continue to believe that life is happening to them, that they are victims of circumstances, never realizing that circumstances are merely consciousness objectified. But you, you who resonate with these words, are ready to step into the awareness that you are the operative power
in your world. You see, while others pray to a God they believe exists somewhere outside themselves, you are being drawn to the truth that God is your own wonderful human imagination. This is why so few will receive this message: because they are not yet ready to accept their own divinity. The very fact that you continue to read these words, that they strike a chord of recognition within you, is evidence that you have evolved beyond the mass consciousness of victimhood. You are ready to assume your rightful place as a conscious creator of your reality. Now, let
me share with you a truth so fundamental yet so revolutionary that it will completely transform your understanding of reality. The very act of your consciousness engaging with these words is creating ripples in the fabric of your existence that will manifest in ways you cannot yet imagine. You see, while the vast majority of humanity believes that their future is determined by their past, you are being awakened to the glorious truth that your future is determined by your present state of consciousness. This is why so few will receive this message: because they are still bound by the
chains of past-based thinking. Consider the profound implications of what I am telling you. In this very moment, as you absorb these words, you are literally selecting from infinite possibilities the exact experiences that will manifest in your world. Your consciousness is not just receiving information; it is creating reality. I tell you with unwavering certainty: the fact that you are drawn to this deeper understanding is evidence that you have outgrown the limited consciousness of the masses. While others remain trapped in the belief of external causation, you are ready to assume your role as the cause of all
causes in your world. Now, let us delve deeper into why this message reaches so few. The natural man, living in the world of effects, cannot comprehend that everything in their experience is simply consciousness externalized. They seek causes in the outer world, never realizing that the outer world is simply consciousness made visible. Most will continue to believe that their consciousness is an effect of their circumstances, never grasping the eternal truth that their circumstances are an effect of their consciousness. But you, you who have been drawn to these words by the law of divine selection, are ready
to reverse this understanding. You see, while the masses chase after effects, trying to change the world by manipulating external conditions, you are being awakened to the truth that only consciousness can be changed. And when consciousness changes, all else must change with it. This is the law. The very fact that these words continue to resonate within you is proof that you have evolved beyond the mass hypnosis of materialism. You are ready to step into the awareness that your consciousness is the one and only reality. Now, let me reveal to you why this moment carries such profound
significance in your spiritual evolution. While millions sleepwalk through their existence, accepting the illusion of external causation, you have been drawn to this message by the law of divine timing that governs all manifestation. You see, consciousness operates with perfect precision, bringing to each soul exactly what it needs at the precise moment it is ready to receive it. The very fact that you are engaging with these words now is evidence that your consciousness has expanded to the point where it can grasp these deeper truths. Consider what this means: out of all the infinite possibilities that exist in
any given moment, your consciousness has drawn you to this exact message. This is not chance, not coincidence, but the perfect operation of spiritual law. While others remain caught in the web of random events, you are awakening to the truth that nothing is random. I tell you with absolute conviction: your presence here, your ability to comprehend and resonate with these words, is proof that you have reached a level of spiritual maturity that few attain. While the masters continue to seek their good in the world of effects, you are ready to operate from the world of cause.
Now, let us understand something that the rational mind might reject but your soul will recognize as truth. The very consciousness that drew you to this message is the same consciousness that creates and sustains the entire universe. There is no separation, no division; all is one consciousness diversely expressed. Most will continue to believe that they must wait for something external to change their lives, never realizing that the waiting itself is the very state that perpetuates their current conditions. But you, you who have been drawn to these words by divine law, are ready to step into the
awareness that waiting is unnecessary because everything exists now, within consciousness. You see, while others spend their lives trying to make things happen, you are being awakened to the truth that nothing needs to happen; everything already exists in consciousness, and your task is simply to occupy the state of consciousness that corresponds to your desire. You see, while the masses remain focused on the world of shadows—what they can see, touch, and measure—you are being awakened to the truth that all tangible reality is merely consciousness crystallized into form. This is why so few receive this message: because they
are not yet ready to accept that consciousness precedes all manifestation. Consider this eternal truth in this very moment as these words penetrate your awareness. Consciousness! You are literally rearranging the entire universe—not the universe of effects that appears so solid and real, but the true Universe of Consciousness from which all effects spring forth. I tell you with complete authority: your presence here, your continued resonance with these words, is not a matter of choice as the world understands choice. It is the perfect unfoldment of a state of consciousness you entered when you were ready to receive higher
truth. Now let us delve deeper into why this message finds so few ready recipients. The natural mind, conditioned by centuries of materialistic thinking, cannot grasp that everything in the visible world is simply Consciousness pushed out. They seek causes in effects, never realizing that all effects proceed from the one cause—Consciousness itself. Most will continue to believe that their thoughts and feelings are a reaction to their world, never grasping the eternal truth that their world is a reaction to their thoughts and feelings. But you—you who have been drawn to this message by Divine Law—are ready to assume
your place as the conscious operator of this law. You see, while others remain trapped in the belief that time is a linear progression from past to future, you are being awakened to the truth that all time exists simultaneously in Consciousness. The past you remember and the future you anticipate are both present now in your Consciousness. Now, as we grow this divine revelation to its completion, understand this final truth: that even this ending is but a new beginning in Consciousness. The very fact that you have remained attentive through these revelations is testament to your spiritual readiness.
You see, while others may have found these words too abstract, too removed from what they consider practical reality, you have recognized the ultimate practicality of operating from the one and only cause—Consciousness itself. This understanding sets you apart from the masses who continue to live in effect. Remember this: the message you have received today will continue to unfold within your Consciousness, revealing deeper and deeper layers of truth as you are ready to receive them. For truth, like Consciousness itself, is infinite in its expression. I tell you this with finality: you were not drawn to this message
to simply hear words, but to experience an awakening of the god power within you. From this moment forward, you will never again see the world through the eyes of the natural man, for you have been initiated into the mysteries of Consciousness. Know this: as you read this message, you are not the same being who began reading it. Your Consciousness has been altered, expanded, lifted to a new level of understanding. While others may forget what they read moments after reading it, these truths will continue to work in your consciousness, transforming your entire world. For you are
among the few who have been prepared to receive this wisdom—to understand that your Consciousness is the only reality and that all else is simply Consciousness made visible. This is not the end of your journey, but rather the true beginning of your conscious creation. Go forth now, knowing that you have been chosen by your own expanded Consciousness to receive these truths. Let them work in you, through you, as you—not separate from these principles; you are these principles in operation. And remember this: this message found you because you were ready to receive it. Your Consciousness drew it
to you with the same precision that governs the movement of planets and the blooming of flowers. You are that power, that law, that Consciousness made manifest. For those who have ears to hear, let them hear; for those who have eyes to see, let them see; and for you who have been prepared to receive this truth, let this understanding transform every aspect of your being. For Consciousness is all there is, and you are that Consciousness individualized. And now, in the eternal now, where all creation takes place, we conclude this message, knowing that in Consciousness there is
no conclusion—only eternal unfoldment of that which already is.
