You are in a Simulated Dream, here's how to Control it (Neville Goddard)

welcome deliberate Creator to yet another wonderful and rare lecture by Neville Goddard where he describes certain dreams showcasing that we live in a dream world I am purposefully bringing the more mystical and Spiritual Works of Neville GD to you to deepen our understanding to show you that he knew that we live in a plastic world made up of dream stuff and God is the dreamer inside you dreaming this dream with you as the Inner Man the idea of a dream world is as ancient as recorded history and perhaps even older as hermus magistus revealed to

us long before Jesus that is the all is mind the universe is mental the all is dreaming infinite dreams so this concept is not new but the way Neville puts it into perspective by marrying the concept of dreams with a law of assumption it is truly a mystical experience as we are all seeking to live a fuller life filled with blessings and all that we desire well here in this lecture Neville in his own magical and mystical style assures you that you can have it all so long as you understand that you are in a

dream of God and dreams are plastic God talks to you in your dreams and visions and if you are awake enough you can interpret it wisely and control it you and I are trying to remember that we are dreaming God is dreaming the dream of Life stick around to the very end and I will summarize for you this wonderful lecture as the poetic ways of Neville need further unraveling sometimes as his every word carries more meaning than surface level understanding now without further ado let's enjoy The Marvelous wisdom of our beloved Mystic today's subject is

it is within we are told the kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed nor will they say Lo here it is all there for the kingdom of God is within you can we take this literally I look out of the see of faces I see the room and everything I see seem so completely independent of my perception of it is it really within me when Blake said all that you behold though appears without it is within in your own imagination of which this world of mortality is but a shadow is that

true everything in this past enormous world is the human imagination the only thing vast enough to contain the immensity of space then is the human imagination one with the presence we call God I identify god with human imagination and in doing so I close the gap between God and man now if all things are possible to God I should be able to test this theory if God truly is my imagination and all things are possible to him I should be able to test it and we're called upon to test it to test yourself and see

do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in the unless of course you fail to meet the test but how to make the test how should I go about making the test well first of all I'm going to ask of you what I ask of everyone that I address Paul said in his letters to the Galatians let him who is taught share all good things with him who teaches no Paul was not asking for any Earthly Goods that to have he was asking them to share with you the results of their experiments that he turn

could take their stories and tell it to others to encourage their faith so I'm going to ask you to test it and then share with me the results of your testing not only that your dreams your Visions I would like to hear them for that's how God reveals himself to himself in man we are told if there is a Prophet among you I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision and I will speak with him in a dream now this is what a friend of mine did here recently this man I

must tell you is a very successful I wouldn't say businessman he's a writer but he's always busy writing for pictures writing for TV and his income is enormous he never misses a meeting in LA and here recently he sent me this letter he said you've asked me to share with you any experience of mine such as a vision a dream or my practical downto Earth experiences in the application of this principle while here is a dream he said first of all I must preface the dream and then he asked me in his letter if I

was familiar with Barkley Square where the central character tries to convince the girl that he can move from one century to another say the 20th century to the 18th century and then he Likens it to someone on a river and his destination is around the B his pres is where he is on the boat his future is around the band but someone elev about the Earth having a view of both sides of the river would see the man's future and his present as present where that man is going and where he is will be present

to the one elevated but he said my dream began in this manner I was The Observer from above I looked down and I saw infin possibilities of man you couldn't conceive of a plot rather plot of a tragedy or some glorious plot some horrible thing or some marvelous thing but every conceivable plot that man could ever conceive everyone was present worked out in the most minute detail and strangely enough they were all contained in a prone man here is the form of a prone man that we said don't ask me how infinite States Of Consciousness

infinite possibilities could be limited by the form of a man but there it was I'm only telling you what I experienced did I contemplated this it was the deadest thing I had ever seen and yet I shouldn't use the word dead because something that is dead suggests it must have lived is a previous life to it it is now dead so it's simply an inanimate thing I looked at it and then I began to wake on Sunset bulard opposite Ralph's Supermarket people were on the sidewalks there were cars on the street but everything was frozen

but everything was frozen three-dimensional but Frozen and I knew that I alone could animate them as I knew that I myself was frozen I looked at myself I'm just like the others all Frozen and I knew only as I became alive would they become alive and so I took a step and I seemed to pass through an invisible curtain at that very moment of taking the step everyone became alive and began to move the sound the noise the action everything and I knew there was something I was trying to remember what is it I am

trying to remember I kept on walking I must have gone a block it seemed like a normal walk the kind of walk I take every day and everything is alive and independent of me and then I remembered as I remembered I turned around and looked and changed the focus of my attention and plac it back above and everything once more became Frozen and life less from this exalted State I remembered I didn't talk to them and for some strange reason I wanted to speak with people and at that moment I found myself in the living

room where a party was in progress but they were frozen and as I entered I was frozen and I wondered am I the host am I the guest they all seem to know me and I don't know one of them and for a moment I panicked for I knew the party would come to an end and I didn't know where to go so I remembered I completely forgot one second before as I became involved in the party then I'm trying to remember something I remembered the Sunset Boulevard experience remembering that and how I escaped from

it I walked over to a seat a chair I sat down and close my eyes and then I changed the focus of my attention and once more place not hair for the party but above I open my eyes and they're all Frozen everyone is frozen and then I felt myself once more above at this exalted State I looked way down and here is myself on a bed and I had what I considered a wonderful idea now I know I can change move myself from his present State into the most desirable state that I would like

to experience and then I realized how impossible that would be from this level I can't change any state these states are permanent I would have to go down and identify myself with that being and from that level once more play the game and so at that moment I began to awake I'm on my bed and I have no knowledge of the dream to me it's 6:30 in the morning I can conceive that I have a dream I went to my library and started to make a recording of your last lecture and something you said triggered

the dream and it all came back in detail as I've just told you then I said did I dream it last night or did I dream it long long long ago I don't know but however it thrilled me and so I thought I'd share it with you then at the very end to make it a light letter he said I went to my doctor and he said in fact he congratulated me on my rapid physical recovery and he asked me if I'd done something or and if so tell him all about it so I said

I did it all in my imagination I imagine I was in your office and you were saying to me exactly what you said and then I began to explain to him how imagination works that imagination creates reality he said to me in an elderly philosophical manner you know my wife thinks things like that wasn't very flattering but he said this is a strange experience we were out driving recently on a Sunday afternoon and the radio was turned in to a ball game and this man is coming to bed and I dislike him and I said

to my wife he shouldn't me the big league he can't hit he can't catch and he can't run what right is he playing in the big Le and she said to me you shouldn't think things like that you should think nice things about him and see him doing wonderful things he said all right I will I'll see him hit a home run he steps to the plate and the first ball pitched he bels it into the bleaches and then said he to his wife I'll never do that again it's too fast but I must tell

you the lecture that triggered the memory of his dream for here we all are seated in this room and we think we are here and completely this and what his dream signifies we will not take to heart and yet you're the animating power of the universe the whole vast world is moving around you because you're identified with the present State well the thing he began to recall was this I found myself in dream but not knowing that it was dream I found myself on a crowded subway train in New York City I was talking to

my friend David but the train was literally crowded to the gun I heard the voice of the conductor saying please do not press against the doors they may spring but the people couldn't help it but in spite of the crowd I could see them individually distinctly and the ladies were more beautiful than each other I mean they're all beautiful and beautifully GED and I turned to my friend David I said David how can I believe how can you believe that all that we behold though it appears without it is within in our imagination and this

whole vast world is simply a shadow how could these lovely ladies be in me and the train and the train was as long as a station alive out what he agreed you couldn't possibly on this level accept it then the train stopped and we got off walked up the stairs to the Plaza then he said to me you're going buy the post office aren't you I said yes he said do me a favor and post these letters for me I took the letters and said are they properly stamped and addressed and I casually not because

I was curious who he writing just to see that the wor properly sted I wave goodbye to him and turn in the direction of the post office and he went the opposite direction and I found myself waking were they not in me so what conclusion can I reach objectivity and subjectivity Are Holy determined for the individual by the level on which his Consciousness is focused on reflection it subjective when I was actually having the experience it wasn't subjective it was objective only when I woke and reflected upon the experience that I refer to it as

a subjective experience this is now objective an hour from now if you think of this room and the meeting to you it will be a subjective experience a memory image so I say everything is truly within now you can test it you take a dream a Daydream or something you want for yourself or something you want for another and you represent to yourself a scene which if true implies the Fulfillment of that dream you like to do this that and the other and so you construct a scene any kind of a scene implying the Fulfillment

of your desire and then to the degree that you are self persuaded of the reality of that imaginal act it will become fact in your world I could tell you unnumbered stories to support that claim it's not theory of me anymore this is fact based the F experience so when we are told in the Book of Luke the kingdom of God is within you you can take it literally these garments that you and I wear are parts of the Eternal structure of the universe you are wearing the Garment as an act to wear as a

costume you are not the Garment you wear you're doing this for a purpose a Heavenly purpose but you are not these gments you are that being that my by frame discovered who sees it from above and to see this universe from above is so completely unlike what it appears to be seen from this angle it's not this way at all but you come down into this world of death for a purpose now Blake made this observation and he claims he did not write it from his conscious reasoning mind that the words would DCT dicted by

the spirit of Love well God Is Love Therefore if the spirit of Love dictated the words of Jerusalem then is God dictating it and in this he said those in great eternity who contemplate on love or rather contemplate on death said this what seems to be is to those to whom it seems to be even of torments Despair and eternal death but Divine Mercy steps Beyond and redeems man in the body of Jesus now that's something that man can't grasp on this level but I tell you it is true to stand in the presence of

the Risen Christ and commune with him face to face and voice to voice then to have love his infinite love embrace you and as he Embraces you you fuse with him without loss of identity no change in your identity and yet you're one with the body of Christ and then he sends you and he can't send you without himself because you're one with him there's no divorcement no separation from that moment on so when he makes the statement Divine Mercy steps Beyond and redeems man in the body of Christ so in my last little pamphlet

I made this statement and I mean it from experience that you and I are resurrected one by one to unite into a single man who is God so here is a reflection that he saw in his dream a proone containing infinity and the deadest thing he'd ever seen God places a limitation and then takes upon himself that limitation and reaches in this act the very limit of contraction that he may then expand beyond what he was he takes upon himself the limit of opacity and then begins to expand and there's no limit limit to translucents

to transparency this is the world called the world of death but while we're in it and we ourselves are animating it we can take any state we desire there infinite number of states you can be in a poor state or a wealthy State you're no better off as far as the height goes because one is poor and one is wealthy not from a spiritual point of you but while you're in the world of Caesar why not be comfortable why not take a state that cushions and Comforts and so you can take a state of affluence

if you know what it would be like will you affluent assume that you are and see the world as you would see it were it true and then I would say accept it believe in the reality of that un seen imaginal act and if you do it will come to pass because the whole vast world really is within you I don't care what others will tell you it's all within you and everyone moving in your world moves Because of You William James made the statement that the greatest revolution in his time was the discovery that

man by changing the inner attitudes of his mind could change the outer aspects of his life now James belongs to our generation this Century he's gone from the world but he was the great educator of the 20th century and he said the greatest revolution in his time was this discovery while the Great Book of books the Bible makes that statement not as James made it but how would you interpret this whatever you desire believe that you have received it and you will isn't that the one condition imposed upon me or you is to persuade self

that we have it how can I persuade myself when at the moment reason denies it and my senses denied but James said he could change the inner attitudes of his mind can anyone stop you from changing your attitude towards the speaker you may like him or dislike him and if your dislike of him causes him to act to confirm your dislike and you like the dislike well then keep it up if you don't like that reaction you could change your attitude towards him and he automatically and unknowingly would act in the way that you would

like and you can make it with any person in this world so if I am that free that I don't have to get your permission to hold an opinion of you but I can hold it regardless of you and if I hold it and persuade myself of the reality of that opinion of you and you conform to it am I not free I am free to entertain any thought and if I am and it produces results well then I'm a free person even in the world of Seas so here I do hope that I have

persuaded you that the whole vast World though you seem so small and insignificant to yourself the whole vast universe is really within you and so you can take it this day and test it you're invited to test it and when you get the results share it with me tell me about it write me a letter and explain what you did and how it worked and if you are blessed this night with a vision I would love to hear it for God makes himself known to man in vision and he speaks with a man through a

dream don't try to interpret the dream tell me just what happened my friend did not attempt to interpret it he told me exactly what happened when my lecture that he was about to record triggered the memory of the dream but all through his experiences what lesson he was learning was this I have forgotten I must remember if everyone could now persuade thems you're trying to remember something you lost the memory of it when you came this low in the scale and you're trying to remember what he was trying to remember was that exalted position where

he saw the whole thing as dead and he came down into the body of death and completely forgot who he really was and people are shocked when you tell them that they are Christ all aims run true to Origins if my origin is God my aim must be gone as the poet said you see Yonder Fields the sess was sesim the corn was corn the silence in the darkness knew and so is a man's Faith born if I believe what scientists tell me that my origin is a worm my end is a worm if I

believe the Bible and my origin is God my end is God and I don't have to choose that anymore I know that from experience I don't have to speculate about the Risen Christ I don't have to speculate about God being loved I stood in the presence of God and His Infinite love I'm not bending my head when I said God is Man as Blake said thou are a man God is no more thy own Humanity learn to adore God Appears and and God is light to those poor souls who dwell in night but does a

human form display to those who dwell in Realms of day so here you're wearing the form of God you are God he gave you his name and the name that he reveals to the whole vast world if you'll take it is I am so that's my name forever it'll be known I'll be known by it throughout all generations but we don't stop there we say I am John a poor John an unknown John an unwanted John and these are the limitations and the restrictions we put upon the name of God but if I will remember

the name I will glorify the name and only put upon it that which is Noble that which is free and if I did it I would walk in that light so do me a favor and try it try it and I promise you from my own experience that you'll get the results you won't have to Hound anyone in this world but no one here is a simple little story two weeks ago just before I closed I was about to close and my wife said to me you know here's a little unfinished business a friend of

ours owes you some money you've never asked him for it you've never written you've never mentioned it to anyone but he owes you the money you're closing up for the entire summer you will not be here until late fall I don't think it's fair to him fair to you fair to me that he continues indepthly without ever mentioning the fact that he owes you the money I said all right you want the money he said yes I said or I will do it my own way I will not asking for it I will not writing

for it I will not phing for it but I will do it in my own way of imagination so I imagined first of all he had the money you can't get it from someone who has the money so I first of all assumed he had it and then I went beyond that you can have money and be unwilling to pay Debs you know you may have millions and owe the grocery store and still won't pay it so I first of all saw him with myone lots of money and then I saw him willing and eager

to pay me and then I received from him whatever he ow me this I did on Wednesday on Friday the phone rang about 4:30 it was my friend he hadn't called me in over a year he said are you busy tonight I said yes I'm lecturing tonight she said that's right it's Friday night well my wife and I will come to the meeting tonight it's perfectly all right so he came to the meeting after the meeting he said you ride home with me and Bill who's my wife she'll go home with the one who brought

you and my wife will go with you with her so he went all to the parking lot and he always drove an old jobi something falling apart but I saw nothing like that in the lot and he took me over towards this wonderful Chrysler the New Yorker model with everything in it that money could buy but he drove me home a new car was under a th000 miles not a word was said on the way home about money not a word was said at home the one who drove my wife and his wife home left

about quar 11 and then 5 minutes later she opened her purse and said Neville this is long long overdue but I think you'll find an order and handed me a check for $1,200 I never asked for it never once in the 5 years he's owed it to me that I ever breathe it and he gave me she gave me $1,200 this is how it works if you believe in the reality of your own wonderful imaginal X it came out of the nowhere and now he has money things rolled in for him he's completely out of

debt and free of that feeling of oing frames money over so many many years so try it and then share with me the results of your experiment and now I think I'm going to ask my friends the ushers to pass among you should we take every dream seriously or only certain ones and how do we distinguish the difference did you hear the question should we take every dream seriously or only a few and how will we distinguish the difference between the significant dream and just an ordinary Dream well first of all every dream is a

communication from God every dream has has meaning but we are Past Masters at misinterpreting the dream quite often we need the help of someone who understands the universal language of symbolism and there is a universal language of symbolism but if for instance I had a dream concerning a pig it doesn't mean I'm going to have rast pork for dinner a pig is a universal symbol are the Redeemer of the universe and the Redeemer and the Creator are one so follow the reasoning behind the pig what was it in the story of the pig I had

that dream here was this little pig in an enormous interior where they were displaying flowers and plants all kinds of vegetation and just closing time I noticed there's a little little pig little run and so seeing no one around I picked him up and placed him on something as tall as this and then I took some flowers and I took some uh green leaves and made a bit for him and I also knew that it may not be the best food for him but he could survive on flowers and leaves until someone opened the place

the next day and then as happen in dreams it just quickly shifted and now I'm on the inside of an enormous supermarket and looking down here's the Pig and the pig is a tall thin rangy fellow quite thin when I found him he was at a tiny run and then I looked at him I knew he was the same Pig and I said to my daughter Vicki I said Vicki get me some crackers for the plate and she said I haven't any money Daddy I said all this belongs to us ask no favors go and

take it take some crackers meanwhile I started needing something to feed him and my brother Victor came by and he said what are you doing I'm getting some food for my pig and then he added some very thick looking gravy three heaping uh handfuls I thank him I started to complete this kneeing and then my daughter went over to a huge pyramid of crackers and she pulled one from the base which unbalanced the entire picture and they all fell as they fell it revealed a little candle about 4 in tall and the candle was lit

and I say to her that's my candle then the words from scripture came into my mind the words of job and the words of Proverbs the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord and when his candle shines upon my forehead by its light I walk through Darkness so I say to Vicki do not put the crackers back that's lit now it must never be hid again never be put under a bit under a bush under anything now that that light is lit he must remain lit and then I woke well here is the

fake the universal symbol of the Redeemer but I have found that imagining creates reality and told it there isn't a day in my life I don't have opportunities to exercise it the thinness of the pig revealed to me I had not been as faithful to the feeding of Christ as I should have been he symbolized Christ and I knew how to feed him by exercising my imagination lovingly on behalf of others when I saw the opportunity to help and didn't exercise my imagination lovingly on behalf of the other who needed help I didn't feed him

I am feeding Christ every time I exercise my imagination in a loving manner so that's the interpretation of that dream if I didn't know the language of symbolism I would have wondered what am I dream what a plate and the whole thing would have seemed so stupid yet that was communicating to me my lack of exercising what I knew not everyone knows imagining creates reality so you can't judge them but if you know it and you don't exercise it you are not feeding Christ any other questions [Music] please rock water and wine you find it

all through the Bible The Rock will be the most literal translation of the scripture the most literal water is when you see the psychological meaning behind the story so you from that literal story you bring forth water you're told in the Book of Genesis he came into the field and the well was covered with a rock a stone he rolled away the stone and watered the sheep and then he rolled it back again so every man comes to the Rock which is the Bible the rock of God he sees if he knows how to read

he can read it but he has to turn it into water so he turns Stone into water getting the psychological meaning of the story his use of that story psychologically converts water into wine so we told in Timothy's letter Paul Paul's letter the Timothy drink no more water use a little wine for your stomach sake and your many infirmities other words don't completely absorb the psychological meaning all day long and never apply it thinkink a little wine now now if you take that literally you may go and get plaster but he doesn't mean it that

way he means take what you know of the truth and use it the use of it turns the water into wine didn't you I can't hear both you know I I'm not hearing you correctly it's a chow you say or a child how to be a child is the greatest of all significance the child is something created the Christ is always symbolized as a child always the child Christ is the creative power and the wisdom of God and that power is always personified as a child always in the 8th chapter of proverbs and and when

he created the world before he brought forth anything I Stood Beside him as a little child and I was daily his Delight for I am his creative power his wisdom he who finds me finds life he who misses me injures himself he who hates me loves death and so you find the little child the day will come you'll all bring forth the Christ child everyone will give birth to Christ and bring forth that power of God wrapped in swadling clothes in the form of a little baby that are beautiful that are not frightening in any

way when you are to sleep about and you I to me it's uh self-explanatory you go to bed worried about something and and you hear a voice of authority asking you what are you worrying about and telling you not to worry and reveals itself into glorious eyes and you are concerned no look upon that is the most wonderful symbol of help but let us get off the dreams now and one thing I quite understand when you're in when you have and in this end and you completely feel do you stay in this late no I

wouldn't say that anyone stays in it in the course of a day you and I change state after state after state number the states in the course of the day but we do have one to which we return constantly that's where we live that state that emotion to which we most often return constitutes the true self the true State that's the one always hatching out if I don't like the fruit that it Bears I should do something about planting a new kind of estate or tree but the individual planting for instance like the money I

got from my friend I did it in Wednesday he gave it to me on Friday in the interval I didn't do it again never thought of it again my wife asked me to do it for it was unfinished business so I did it well now the Bible teaches that the vision has its own appointed hour it ripens it will flow if it be long then wait for it is sure and it will not be late not be late for itself no two impregnations have the same interval of time between conception and birth a child if

it be human takes 9 months a horse takes 12 a chicken takes three 3 weeks and so seeds have different intervals of time that's true also of Concepts man can conceive himself to be this that or the other and then that interval between the conception and its birth is determined by the nature of the conception any other questions imin it go always go to the end the end is where we begin what would it be like were it true that's the aimed isn't it I have no concern with the means I go to the end

and the end determines the means he said I have ways and means you know not of my ways of past finding out so all we're concerned with here is the end going to the end remaining faithful for one moment to get the reaction the thrill that emotion that comes with success and then drop it Neville is describing to us the nature of this reality liken to a dream God so completely limited himself on this level of density to dream this game of life but you can go above in the causal realm of mind and change

the course of your life by choosing from the infinite states in the fourth dimension as Neville talked about in this lecture and also in his book thinking fourth dimensionally when we get into this exalted State of Consciousness that is timeless we enter the fourth dimension where all that you can be exists all future paths that you may take are already played out in the body of God in every detail conceivable according to Neville this world that we come into is the world of the Dead therefore God dies to himself to become man to experience a

life that he would not be able to experience if God remembered who he was but this itch in us to remember never goes away we know something is missing and in dreams and en visions we are shown who we are if we are walking on a spiritual path Neville tells the story of his friend's dream which showcases that man enters into a state and it becomes alive all states that we can possibly conceive of exist we can think of it as the more contemporary concept of parallel realities it all exists inside the void-like body of

God that Neville's friend saw in his dream and then he entered into a few States and saw everything to be frozen which essentially means a state is only activated when you enter it poverty and riches are both dead States available to you but dead only when you enter into it that it becomes animated into your world so whatever we identify within this dream we animate it Neville invites us to test it he says that imagination is the only reality is no longer a theory to him it is a fact which he showcases in the story

of his friend who owed him money for over 5 years all of a sudden asking to meet him to return the money he owed it cannot possibly be coincidence as Neville imagined getting the money from his friend on Wednesday and the very next Friday this man calls him to meet a man who was avoiding Neville for years do you see only in a dream world could this work Neville entered the state where this seemingly broke man who owed friends money all of a sudden had money he now had a brand new Chrysler showcasing abundance and

happily paid Neville his due all in the matter of a few days so to summarize this mystical lecture in the simplest terms God God contains infinite dreams in his body ready to be awakened by his individualized aspect that is you when you imagine a state feeling it to be real you give life to it if you persist this state will become your life in no time you will be shifted into a parallel world where what you have imagined is already true so let me ask you this what are you dreaming what are you imagining test

the law and your waking dream will change to prove it to you that your own wonderful imagination is God
