Speaker 1 (00:00):
New ideas require many reiterations and restatements before they become
part of the generally accepted currency of thought. The idea
that I've been fining together over since I started back
(00:20):
in nineteen thirty eight is still new. It comes with
a shock to anyone who hears it, even after you've
heard it for years and years and think you're living
by it. I have discovered that one is not really
living by it. It has not yet become a part
(00:40):
of their theme. And that is that imagining creates reality.
I say this because I identify imagine with God's inaction.
To me, man is all imagination, and God is man
(01:04):
and exist in us and we in him. The eternal
body of man is the imagination, and that is God himself.
If by God I mean the creator of the universe,
the maker and the master of the whole vasque universe.
(01:28):
I identify that creator with the human imagination. Then man
should be more careful as to what is imagining. So
I can give lip service to the statement imagining creates reality.
And yet if I am observed in the course of
a day, if I observe what I'm imagining, I would
(01:51):
find a numbered moments in my life in one twenty
four hours or other the rating eighteen, where I am
imagining things I do not wish to experience. If I
really believe that imagining creates reality, I would be more careful,
(02:13):
more concerned about what I'm imagining. So I will give
it lip service and say imagining creates reality, and go
blindly on imagining anything other than what I want to create,
beginning with the morning paper and reacting to things if
you do not know, rather than be true, there could
(02:34):
be plenti by some press agent, tracted by some lobbyists
you do not know. And here we react as we read,
and then we go through the life in just twenty
four hours, and finding most of the twenty four hours
we spend imagining what we do not wish to experience.
(02:58):
If men would only look upon the world as a
world of a pimis, behind which the reality of imagining lay,
he would find the truth. He would find God. As
a story told in the seventeen chapter of the Book
of Acts. Now it's a story. Whether it was historically
(03:22):
true or not, it doesn't really matter which. Trying to
push a point to the foe, it is saying that
the men of Athens spent all day in the marketplace,
looking for a new idea, either telling one or hearing one.
(03:45):
Then came upon the scene one called Paul, and they wondered,
what has this babbler to say? What is his new idea?
And he told them the idea of Jesus and the resurrection.
And we are told. The Epicureans and the Stoic philosophers
(04:05):
mocked them and scoffed at him. Others say, we will
hear more about this later. And he said to them,
and this is all ironical if you read it carefully,
He said, O, men of Athens, I see in every
way you are very religious. For as I passed by,
(04:28):
I observe the objects of your worship right away. That's irony,
the objects of their worship. When he said, I noticed
this inscription over an order to an unknown God, what
to theirforre worship? Unknown? I declare to you when he
(04:54):
tells them of the only God, the God that created everything.
And he is not a god afar off. He is
in dwelling, He is within every single being in the world,
the God of the universe, not made with hands. You
won't find him in a temple, in a church, in
(05:16):
a cathedral, or the little objects of your worship, which
you make up man with your own hands, and then
worship him and call him Apollo. For here the God
that I speak of is within everyone. That's the God
of whom I speak That's the God that raises from
(05:37):
the day. Well they left and their mocked when we
are told you went on from Athens to current what
he performed there. No one knows why the Athens ever
took him up, because there were the wise men. They
were called the very learning men of the day. He
happened today tourre this cough, but anything that is not
(05:59):
part of their great, voluminous words. But I am telling you, if,
as Paul said to the opinions, if you would only
feel after him, you'll find him. If you would feel
after him, you would find him. Find what find the
(06:20):
God of the universe. For he gave us not the
spirit of the world, but the spirit of himself. That
spirit of himself in man is man's own wonderful human imagination.
Whom you say I am. That's God, the one inn
(06:40):
only God, and there is no other God. Therefore he
is in every man, every woman, every child, God of woman.
It is the God in that being that allows that
being to breed, to live, to experience what we call
life in this world. That is the immortal youth. So
(07:03):
the eternal body of man is the imagination, and that
is God himself, the one we speak of in the
New Testament as Jesus. That is God. Or where is
it something on the outside. No, he is in you
when you say I am, that's Jesus. Now the world
(07:25):
is taught differently. Therefore it comes as a shock when
they're hearing. They don't want to hear it. They will
listen if they could simply improve their life in this world,
get more money, do things that they want to do,
and still hold on to this little object on the outside.
So he spoke, I observe the objects of your worship.
(07:47):
Or man does that with what they call Jesus. They
take different human hands that make a mold of something
they call it Jesus, put it on a piece of wood,
or put it on something else, stick it on the wall,
and then cross themselves for good luck. There is the
object of their worship, something that made themselves. The maker
(08:10):
is greater than the thing made, no matter how wonderful
it's made. Certainly the artist is greater than his work.
And so we make all these things and put it
on the outside, and then vow before it in worship.
I tread you your own wonderful human imagination is God.
That's God. Now, if I would only observe this and
(08:34):
keep it in mind, I should be able to put
Paul to the kist head. Feel after him and you'll
find them. Blake said, the imagination is spiritual sensation. Spiritual sensation. Well,
how would I feel after him and finding? Well? First
(08:57):
of all, he does all things good, bad or different,
and he waits on me just as indifferently, and as
with me when the willing me is evil. Us Brandad
is good because he is a creative power. He kills,
he makes the life, he wounds, he heals. All things
(09:18):
are done by the one creative power. There is another
God who is evil, and one that is good, one
that is altogether loving, and one that is altogether hating.
No only one power, and that power is the human imagination.
So how will I then feel after him? What would
(09:41):
the feeling be like? It were true? What true? If
I am the man that I would like to be,
what would the feeling be like? Yes? For all things
are made by him. And without him was not anything made.
It was made now. If I am dare to assume
(10:01):
that I am now the man that I want to be,
and I persist in that assumption, watching my mind morning,
noon and night. For anything that I find myself dwelling
upon that is in conflict with that assumption, I ignore it.
I put it aside. I will be faithful to this
divine vision, the vision of myself. So anytime I catch
(10:24):
myself whearing to feel less than the thing that I'm
feeling on trying to externalize in my world, I simply
stop it and go back to that assumption. If I
am the man that I want to be, if I
persist in it, and it becomes a fact that I
found him, I don't observe the vaginine as I do
(10:46):
objects in space. I am the reality that is called imagine.
So you don't see God because God is spirit, but
you see the result of His activity in you. He
is active in you as you imagine. You're completely free
(11:06):
to imagine good, bad, or indifferent. So you simply select
what you want to imagine. Would you like to be?
You name it, But you said that I don't have
the background for it. I do not have any the
qualifications for it. It doesn't really matter. Imagining creates reality.
You do not need the qualifications that the world thinks
(11:28):
you need. All you need do is can be to
badly assume that you are the man the woman that
you would like to be. And if it proves itself
in performance, then you from them. So Paul's active openience.
Feel after him and you'll find them. But I have
seen it numberless times in my thirty four years of teaching.
(11:53):
I started back in February of nineteen thirty eight, and
here I am February of nineteen seventy two, and I'm
ready to see it fail. If we the optron power
applied it, it doesn't apply itself. We are the optron power.
For in man is God and God is man's own
(12:16):
wonderful human imagination. So if I dare to assume that
I am the one that I would like to be,
but that's God who is doing it. So how will
I turn then to God tonight? Say? A half dozen
people asked ob it tonight? It takes no time. Gray
(12:36):
voice there request. It's a statement made in the Book
of John, the Epistle of John. If we know that
he hears us in whatever we ask of him, we
know that we have already obtained the request made powerful. Well,
(13:02):
when they're talking to me, they say, I would like
so and so. Instantly it comes within the frame of
my golden room. It's something I would like myself if
I were in their present state of consciousness, I would
like that. It doesn't violate my rule. He doesn't injure someone,
It doesn't take from anyone. Well, now did I hear it?
(13:25):
I heard it? What if I and my father are one,
but then my father heard it. I do not know
the means that will be employed to bring it to pass.
But I can't deny that I heard it if I
heard it and I and my father are one, or
can I not thou say to my inner being, thank
you Father, you heard it, but I heard it. But
(13:46):
if we know that he hears all that we ask
of him, then we know we have already obtained the
request made of him, so as to say to me,
I would like so and self, and then I heard it.
I do not know, as a man called Neville, how
it's going to happen. I do not know. I am
not going to suggest what they do or what they
(14:08):
should do. I only know that I heard it, and
if I heard it, my Father heard it, because he
and I are one. He is my own wonderful human imagination.
So I could actually say within myself, as though we
were too, thank you you heard it? If I heard it,
and then allow the depth of my own being to
devise the means necessary to bring it to pass, and
(14:32):
then I am not responsible. From that moment on. I
do not call up and say did it happen? I
do not get in touch with him and write them
and say tell me what how? Har thing's coming is
not my concern. I gave what was asked of me,
and all it was asked to be was to hear
use my imagination lovingly on their behalf. Well, I did
(14:56):
it in the trinket of an eye. You'll have been
going to some sweat to do it. I don't have
to go to some church and do it, go to
some synagogue and do it, or some so called holy place.
Wherever I stand should be holy, because the Father is
within me. And where can you go to a more
holy place than where God is? But if I know
(15:18):
God is my own wonderful human imagination, then where can
I go that could be more holy than wherever I am,
no matter where it is. So the request is made.
I heard it, and then, having heard it, I give
thanks to the being within me who has the means,
the wisdom, and the power to externalize it. Knowing that
(15:41):
the entire outside world, that all objective reality is solely
produced through imagining, what is now proven in the world
was one's only imagine. Try to deny that, Try to
deny it. There is a thing in this world that
you can say that's real that was not first only imagined.
(16:06):
So I say to everyone there, take stay, feel after him,
and you'll find him. He didn't say you may find him.
Feel after him and you'll find him. But these ideas
are so new, and yet they aren't you. They go
back into the Old Testament. Here you find the word
for imagination used as the word potterer. Well, if you
(16:29):
say the word paper, go down to the Potter's house
and I'll let you hear my word. So I went
down to the potter's house, and there he was working
at his wheel, and the vessel in his hand was spoiled,
so he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed
good to the paper to do. If you read it
(16:50):
in the form of the story in which it is
stold in the eighteen chapter of Jeremiah, you will think
of a man who playing his hands at his wheel,
pumping away, making a vessel, making some kind of a well,
could be anything a plate, that's not it. The word
potter means imagination. It's like saying to you, go into
(17:10):
your own imagination and see what you're doing with a friend.
You just heard that he was in need. Are you
now going to finish that I'm taking now into a
greater need? Or are you going to rework it into
another vessel as it seemed good to you to do?
You don't go to some potter's house. Roll down to
(17:31):
the potter's house. I'm there. I will let you hear
my word. So I went down to the pother's house,
and there he was working at his wheel, and the
vessel in his hand was spoiled. He didn't throw it
away and discard it. He reworked it into another vessel,
as it seemed good to him to do. So a man,
(17:52):
a friend of ours, he's unemployed, all right. So he's unemployed,
and he doesn't have the qualification for a better job,
and there is no job at the moment for what
he has, So what I will be working, I will
hear him tell me that he has the most marvelous
job and he's gainfully employed. What the job is I
(18:13):
do not know. But I can't say to myself. Well,
if I heard it, surely the depth of my own being,
And so I can say thank you, having reworked him
in my own mind's eye into an entirely different being,
the same frame, but not one unemployed is now gainfully employed.
(18:34):
So feel it. If I can feel this stake, I'm
finding God. For God is spirit I mean, I tell you,
and by spirit, I do not mean some intangible thing.
It actually is the human form divine. But I speak
of the human imagination. It is a form, it's a reality.
(18:54):
It is the divine form. So the eternal body of
men is the human imagination. And that is God himself.
And there is no other. God said I killed, and
I make alive, I wound and ideal. I do all things,
and none can deliver out of my hands this description.
(19:20):
But man, when he hears the word God, he thinks
of something else in space. Well he doesn't quite know,
but something in space. If there were God in any
way condos within you something that is other that your
own wonderful human imagination. You've got the wrong god. If
(19:40):
there were Jesus causes you to think of a man
who lived two thousand years ago and died two thousand
years ago, and rows two thousand years ago, you got
the wrong one. You're told Jesus is within you. It's
within me. I should find it exactly where he is
in me, And then who but I have found him.
(20:02):
He is my own wonderful human imagination. That's Jesus, and
all that is said of him. Every child born of
woman is going to experience to discover he is Jesus.
And there is no other Jesus. So you're told in
scripture in the seventeenth of Matthew. In the end, there
is Jesus only, why you're told now in the book
(20:26):
of John the first of Job. And when he appears,
we shall be like him, because when he appears and
is only Jesus, the life have to be like him.
So within me the whole thing unfolds itself, that everything
said of him, at least whether people believe it or not,
(20:47):
I have experienced, and personally I do not care whether
they accept it. Or not any more than faulty the
wise name, the Epicurians and the Stoics. They cough at
him and then left at him and mocked him. So
he went down to college. He simply did the work
he came to do. So he told the story and said,
(21:09):
you have worship you what something on the outside, And
here you put an inscription over the altar to an
unknown god. You say the unknown what you know? Say?
If unknown, I will tell you have a known god.
Now take my word for it and figure it out
for him, and you'll find him. How would I fight?
But then, if I wanted to be in New York
(21:34):
and I put my body downder the bed tonight when
I go to bed, I must assume that I am
already in New York. Well, how would I know that
I am there? If I have all imagination, I must
be wherever I am in imagination. But if I am
in imagination in New York, Now think of the world.
(21:54):
Think to California, southern California, where you face the body
or do you see it on the bed as you're thinking, Well,
then you're not in New York. Do you see it
three thousand miles away to the rest of you. Well,
then you are in New York. For were you in
New York, you would see the body in your mind's
(22:15):
eye three thousand miles away in Los Angeles, and you'll
be thinking from New York rather than thinking out in
New York. So the whole thing is simply finding out
this fantastic power, creative power in man and how it operates.
For there is no problem in the world comparable to
(22:38):
this problem of solving the mystery of imagine. For supreme
power and supreme wisdom and supreme delight is in store
for the one who conquers this mystery. So whether you
be in jail, all right, so you're in jail, and
you dare to assume that you're free. You aren't going
(23:00):
to break through the doors and be picked up, And
he sank to a longer term is simply assume that
you are free. Who to day on death row, many
of them prayed that their sons would not be put
in the chamber, and they believed their prayers. And so
the Supreme Court brings in a verdict no more killing
(23:25):
of men because they kill someone. Whether you approve or disapprove,
that's not the point. All things are possible in God's
worth all things. So I am not going to pass
any opinion whether this thing is right or wrong. I'm
not going to be involved emotional as to whether they
did the right thing or the wrong thing. I only
(23:48):
know from personal exprint. If I had a son there,
I want him free. If you were there. He's not there,
But if he were there, I want him free, regardless
to what he did. As one who loves his son,
I'd want him to breath. But I am not going
to pass any opinion or any judgment concerning the Supreme
(24:11):
Court's decision. The thing is, all things are possible. You
will tell me what you want, and if it comes
within the framework of what I call the Golden rule,
which is simply doing unto others as you would have
an other do unto you. If it fits that frame,
well then you are on the right course. Or then
(24:33):
you can't do it physically, No, you do not have
the power or the wisdom to do it. But there's
something in you which is your essential being. It can
do it. It knows exactly how to do it. Can
you trust them? Can you trust this being within you
to have heard what you heard? I heard it on
this level will request made. And if I heard it
(24:55):
on this devil, certainly the breadth of my own being
heard it and on that. Yet he has ways and
means I do not have unders level. Therefore, I'm not
concerned as to how it's going to work. I only
know it will work by simply assuming that I am
already the one I want to be. If I dare
to assume it and remain faithful to it, then it
(25:17):
becomes a fact. So imagine. Plus this kind of faith
faith in God, and God is your own wonderful human imagination.
So faith in God is the way to success. Will
imagine it as though it were true, and then you
(25:38):
walk your way, not knowing how it's going to become true,
But it will become true. Why invite you to test it?
Just try? It cost you nothing. And if I take
from you your gods has politic from their feelians their gods,
then it's a blessing. If you can lose your God,
(26:00):
it's a good thing because the real God you can't lose.
You can never lose me, you can never lose the
sense of I am. You can lose everything else, but
you can never cease to be aware that you are
that start, and so if I can't take that from you,
but then I can't take the real God from you.
If I can take any other thing from you and
(26:22):
you worship it, you have the false start. And I
did your service in taking anything but the reality, because
I can't take the reality from you. So all out
of services and ceremonies will mean nothing, nothing about your
father's business, which is yourself doing noble things in this world,
(26:44):
imagining the best, and it will count the best. That's
why I say. If it seems I reiterate, and we
stayed night after night after night, it's essential because if
you're perfectly honest with yourself this day, and you observe
what you were imagining in the course of one day,
(27:04):
you'd be ashamed of what you imagine. And yet you
are imagining things you do not want to happen, and
yet you will give lip service to the statement imagining
creates reality. And then one moment later, a friend of
mine up in San Francisco. She was a friend of
a mutual friend, and they didn't get on very well,
(27:26):
only at moments. One night, riding with her, we went
down or maybe seventy five miles down the peninsula for
a dinner, lovely dinner, and all the way back, this
very very heavy fault could hardly see a few yards
before you. And she was talking of this friend of mine,
who she claimed to be a friend of hers, and
(27:48):
she would rant against this woman so and so on.
So I wouldn't even print it. You couldn't print it.
It burned the page. And then at the end of
her statement she was saying, God bless her soul. She
shut up the entire seventy five miles lasting this woman,
and then she would qualify the whole thing and is
all forgiven, God bless her soul. So she is still here.
(28:13):
That one has gone from this little section of time,
and she's still playing the same part using her imagination
in early where she doesn't want in this world, and
things went from bad to worse in her world, and
we're still that way. And she can't for one moment
believe she is the cause of the phenomena of her life.
(28:34):
Oh no, she can't for one moment. And yet I
had one long seventy five mile drive where it would
take a whole lifetime to read that harvest what she
said in that long drive from dinner back home. So
man has a very weak memory, and he doesn't remember
what he did these things. But there's a depth in
(28:57):
man who does not forget. We are born in relations
be not the seed. God is not marked as a
man soul, So shall he read when we are told
by the poet you see yonder fields. The sessimum was sessimon,
and the corn was corn. The darkness and the silence view,
(29:21):
and so is a man's faith born. So you don't
recognize your own harvest, but it couldn't make a mistake.
Everything is after the identical seed. You plan the seed,
what seed was. If I've forgotten what it was, we
wait till the tree comes up. You'll know, because it
can't be other than what was plenty. If I plant
(29:43):
an out, well, then the ork is going to spring
up into the oak tree. I plant that sort of
an acorn, that's going to be the oak tree. But
if I thank something else, well then wait. If I've
forgotten what I plan to wait, the harvest will show
me and then denies his own. So I'm telling you
(30:03):
that your own wonderful human imagination is God is the
God of scripture, befoundly God. Whether in the Old Testament
you call him the Lord, or call him Jehovah, or
call him God, or in the New Testament you call
him Jesus. It's the same thing. This is the creative
power in man, and that creative power in man is
(30:25):
man's own wonderful human imagination. Why repeat unnumbered stories I've
told you in the past. I could start with new ones.
But what you know the technique, and the technique is simple.
If all things are created out of man's human imagination
for him, that you start imaginally what he wants to be.
(30:49):
If he does successful, follow him. But in the meanwhile,
try to prove the plant, because when you hear for
the first time that your imagination is God, it's an
awful shock, because, as the poet said, behowl this vine.
I have found it a wild tree whose wanton strength
(31:11):
had swallen into irregular twigs. But I've prone the plant,
and then it grew temperate in its rain expense of
useless leaves, and not it, as you see, into these
keen full flusters, to repay the hand with wisely wounded it.
So when you first find that the vine spoken of
(31:34):
in the Bible, I am the vine ovitinity, I am
the true vine and my father is the vine dresser,
and you discover what that vine is my imagination for
then the whole thing when into leaves, useless leaves and branches,
it was not producing grapes when I thought to prune
the tree. By observing what I am imagining, in the
(31:56):
course of twenty four hours, becomes a habit. Drain. The
next day I do a little bit better, the third
day better still by the end of a week. I
made a habit now of watching water, imagining, and don't
rape instantly, put it, stop it, stop imagining, don't indulge yourself.
(32:17):
I have heard people say to day, but just one
more second. It's such a pleasant thing to carry him off,
And so it is mine dying. He is cutting off
some one all in his imagination, knowing he's going to
reap the fruit of him. Now, if you know that
you aren't, what's going to be spent a next to
five seconds of precious time in finishing that emotion. Stop
(32:39):
that emotion and get on a new train. And then
that you prove the plant, and finally that fans will
reward you with fee food justice because you're wisely wounded it.
And then you keep that uying going, and the buying
will pay enormous diffidence. I know from experience. When you
(33:01):
go to bed at night, let your last thought be
something noble, something wonderful. If you are now of those
you love, are now what you would like to be,
and drop off into the deep in that state. I'll
make it a happen, as we tell you can't a seed,
and then the seed becomes an act, and the act
(33:23):
becomes a habit, and the habit becomes a character. So
if I seem to repeat myself, it's because I have
to be. So. If anyone here, then I could honestly
tell me that in the course of twenty four hours
they have observed what they were imagining and had not
(33:44):
a thing to find. Faces, well, I would like to
hear that. And I will not call you a liar,
because I'm not here to judge. But it would be
modest thing if you could tell me that. But I
know that all of us are victims, and we get
into the habit of the internal conversations that are not pleasant,
(34:05):
and we think that no one observes, no one sees.
So as we are told in the Book of Ezekiel,
we should some of men go down and see what
the elders of the House of Israel are doing. So
I went down to the house to observe the elders
of the House of Israel, and where they were, each
in his own room, carving on the wall. What war
(34:29):
the wall of your own interior? The wall is calved,
and they are making abominable things. And they say, whether
no one sees this, the Lord has forgotten this breathought
because they did it in the silence that no one knows,
when the only reality is their own wonderful human imagination,
and that is fully aware of what man is doing,
(34:51):
and rewards men good, bad or indifferent with his imaginal act.
No one can tell me that you could not the
night star to become if you want to be prosperous,
that's that reptive germ. What you mean by a posterous
would not be what another means by it, but what
you And just make yourself what would it be like
(35:15):
if he were true? Just what would it be like?
And then go about to the business really as though
it is true, instead of spending your precious time reading
about Howard Hughes who cares? I asked a friend of
mine who asked me if I'm following the story. I said,
(35:35):
you know, he doesn't know me, and I don't know him,
and I'm quite sure that if I met him, he
would not really buy me a sandwich. So what am
I concerned about? He doesn't say by a ring, he
doesn't buy my clothes, he doesn't contribute to my way
of living, and I am supposed to be concerned about
what he's doing. He doesn't interest me none whatsoever. I
(36:00):
must spend my precious time reading about how our views.
My heart almost goes out to the man Irving who
wrote the thing, because the so called wise evidence of
life and the wise ones of the other one got taken,
and they are so wise, taking for a half million dollars.
And so I'm not saying that I would want it
(36:21):
duplicated in my life, but it almost serves them life
to pull that upon the people. And sooy who cares
about you? Is really what is his contribution to life?
So he has made two billions, So what hasn't bought
your dinner hasn't done anything for you? And so what
(36:43):
is your concern? Will take the story of scripture, see
it as it really was intended in the beginning to
be seen that your own wonderful human imagination is that
God's spoken of inscription, and by him all things were made,
and without him was not anything made that is made.
(37:03):
Start writing. In this room, you're wearing clothes wearing, you're
sitting on chairs, You're in a house. Everything here is
first only imagine the clothes you're wearing, the chairs on
which you are seated, the building now houses you. Everything
here was first only imagined, and then it became an
objective fact. So objective reality is solely produced through immagative
(37:28):
Now you want to objectify something entirely different from what
you have so far. For now, change the imaginal act
to attempt to change circumstances. Before I change, the imaginal
activity is the struggle against the very nature of things.
I can't do it because my imaginal activity is producing
the objective realities. And I can't change that objective effect
(37:52):
until I change what is causing it. And the cause
is an unseen imaginal activity. As we are told, he
brings things that are not seen and calls them as
though there were seen, and they become seen. Things that
are now seen were made out of things that do
not affair. That's what we're told in the Book of Hebrews.
(38:15):
What you now see he was made out of things
that do not affair well. If that is a fact,
and scriptures had enow for centuries and centuries as fact was,
then put it to the test. Challenge, yes, challenge the
scripture as you're thought in scriptures are challenging. Do you
not realize that Jesus Christ is England. Examine yourselves and
(38:39):
see whether you're holding to the faith well testing test
him and see if he is in me and he
does all things. I'm going to test him. Will I
have tested him over and over and over. I coomed
him faithful. I dared, at moments in my life to
assume that I had what reason told me I did not,
(39:01):
and my senses denied it. But I dared to assume
that I had it. And it happened. It came out
of the door heare, It happened. So I talked that
principle to others. They applied it, and it happened. But
strangely enough, after someone becomes a little bit better off
than their were, their reflect upon it, and because it
(39:22):
always happens in a perfectly normal, natural manner, they say, oh,
but it would have happened anyway, and then they go
thunder sleep again. You could get someone of austerity. You
try to awaken them for a moment. They are alert,
seemingly the alert while you're talking to them. Some to
(39:43):
sleep again. That's humanity. They'll bring me this dream of life,
and they'll see the truth of what they've imagined and
deny that their imagination produced me. So they go sun
to sleep again, back upon the negative state. But I'm
asking you who come here and persist in becoming, to
(40:04):
observe what you are doing in the course of twenty
four hours. You're not alert twenty four hours, but take
say sixteen hours. If you give eight hours to sleep,
will take sixteen hours, and try to observe what you
are imagining. And if you perchance you catch yourself imagine
what you do not wish to experience. Stop it. Stop
(40:24):
it right there and then, and don't give it a
nextra second. Then maybe you're in the midst of an
emotion and you like to complete the emotion and tell
him off completely. Don't stop it, break it, and that
causes a sort of a mental well, a mental abortion,
a mental miscarriage. If you break it without exploding the emotion,
(40:49):
So feel after him and you'll find it. That's what
he tells your Felians. But he pointed out all the
objects of their worship, and every object he pointed out
that something they themselves have made with her hands and
then worshiped. I can see it now when as a
(41:09):
young man in the dancing world, so with a young girl,
a pretty young girl, and she had a little figurine
of what she called the Holy Mother, and before she
took the stage she would get it. The whole thing
was simply brilliant rate of her kisses, and she really
(41:29):
thought that gave her success. She kitted and smuggled with fishes,
and on the stage she would go, and that was
her little object of her worship. She thought that really
was the Holy Mother. I mean, I tell you, without
any criticism of the things, most of these things are
made by people who call themselves artists. And saw Fari
(41:51):
move from any concept of being an artist. The monsters,
things made by the millions, not good armist at all.
But she had her little one, and sitting on top
of the stayed a little dresser, and she would smuggle
with his kisses and then dashed on the stage, and
she danced. I went to a party once. These boys,
(42:18):
one with a priest or, he's going to be a priest,
and he quick to join the war. The other we're
all went into the army. One came out dead, one
came out with one foot missing above the league and
an arm and this one who was the priest or
to be the priest, he came out with something else.
(42:38):
Didn't go back into the priests, but they all were there.
Saint Christopher medals then dived into the pool as their home,
and they attributed their recovery, or their so called coming
out of the army to Saint Christopher. That was before
Saint Christopher was demoted. Now demoted Pope said, there was
(43:02):
nose such of thingers in Christopher. But now before that
they have fifted the entire thing to that one that
are foot missing, are missing, one death, and one with TV.
And that is simply pricipal. He didn't do a good job,
but well, actually were completely I said to my wife,
I said, Darling, suppose they know what I teach, suppose
(43:25):
they have heard what I did? Would they have me here? Oh?
She is certainly that have you here, because as far
as their concern, you aren't saved. You couldn't be saved.
You're a publishmant, so how would you be saved? They
love my father, darly said, my wife loved you more
than they love their own people. But he couldn't be
(43:46):
said because you were the protistant. Therefore, it doesn't really
matter what you do. So don't concern is they you
that you're teaching. They wouldn't even pass an opinion because
it doesn't matter. Only what they have been taught to
believe is true, and that's the only truth. Therefore, enjoy
the day. So I did. I enjoy the day and
(44:06):
observed all this nonsense. So I'm telling you your own
wonderful human imagination is God. There is no other God.
If you think there's another god, then you've got two gods,
and you start with two, you're gonna have four, and
four's gonna give you eight and eight, sixteen, and then
you have millions of gods. There's only one god here?
(44:30):
Or is you the Lord? Our God? The Lord is one,
and that God is I Am. That's his name, forever
and forever and forever. And when you say I am,
you're asking announcing the fact that you are imagining that
is imagination. That's God, and it's the human imagination. And
(44:55):
it is the eternal God of the savior, and the
only savior. It is the Lord God. I am the Lord,
your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. And
besides me there is no savior. So the Jesus of
the News is the Lord God of the old. And
where is he in man? He gave us not the
(45:17):
spirit of this world. He gave us the spirit of himself.
And that spirit of himself is in man. Is man's
own wonderful human imagination.
