Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Right's title is the Coin of Heaven. There are two
sides to the coin, mind and speech. We're telding the
fiftieth psalm to him who orders his conversations. Arright, I

(00:22):
will show the salvation of God. Now, there is a
work that came out in the first century, just about
the time that our euvantelists were gathering together our gospels.
It's called the Hermetica, and in this break today we

(00:45):
have a translation in four volumes by Walter Scott. So
there are two gifts that God gave to men alone
and to no other mortal creature. These are mind and speech.

(01:10):
And with these gifts these are equivalent to immortality. If
a man uses these gifts rightly, he will differ in
nothing from the immortals, and when he sheds his body

(01:34):
there will be his guides. By then he will be
taken into the truth of the gods and into the
souls of those who are tame to bliss. Now the

(01:54):
Bible speaks much of this gift, but the word is
not all all this speech. It's called the way, it's
called the path, it's called the trade. Here is the
same word I've just translated as conversation from the fiftieth

(02:17):
star to him who all his conversations are right, I
will show the salvation of God. Now the word translated conversation,
which is the Hebrew deheret, it's all too translated. The
way here is thou. That wonderful chapter in products devoted

(02:41):
to Wisdom and Christ is called the wisdom of God
and the Power of God. So now wisdom is personified.
Here you read the words the Lord created me at
the beginning of his way, the very first of his

(03:02):
acts of ow ages ago I was set up before
the beginning of the earth. For that word translated way
could be translated conversation, as we are told his very
first act vide, let us make man in our image.

(03:25):
So here the Lord created at the beginning of his word,
his conversation, let us make man in our image. Now
we are invited to be imitators of God as their children,
and use the same technique. For we have been given

(03:47):
a gift that makes us immortal. The gift is bind
and speech. And if we use these gifts wise, fain
and right face, we differ in nothing from the immortals.
And they would be our guides after we had these bodies,
and take us into the very troop of the gods

(04:09):
and into those souls who obtain the bliss immortality. Now
you and I must fly it. Who must test? Is
it really so? Give me that I can start right
now without any background whatsoever. I know I have a
gift of mine. I can think. I know I can

(04:31):
speak where I dump. I can still think and think
in terms of the words. If I could not express
them in words, I can still think in woman in
these words. That's all that matters. If a man could
only control he is in a dialogue, he would find

(04:52):
it the mostly rewarded of all conversations. Oh it's so easy,
A Shakespeare said, it so easy to teach others teach
twenty what were good to be done? Did he find
it so difficult be one of the twenty to follow
his own teaching? For all day long, man is thinking,

(05:13):
and he thinks. He thinks in words, and he's stopping.
He's carrying on inner conversations with himself. But they're really dialogues.
It's not a monologue. He is conjuring people in his
mind's eye two or more. And then he carries on
these dialogues all through the day, all into the night,

(05:34):
and he's arguing, Now, that is not what we are
taught in scripture God, So let us make man in
our image. No argument. That was a decision made, and
he never wavered in that decision. He's talling men into
his own image. But he granted men the same gift

(05:56):
to go purserved and to misuse that gift. If you
and I this very night could decide what we want
to be in this world. I don't care what it is,
and then carry on these inner conversations from that assumption,
then we are already the man or the woman that
we want to be. And then not graver in that assumption.

(06:19):
We will really be imitating God as dear children. So
I will say to everyone there, test it, try it
to the very limit. I know from my own experience
that it works. We have this immortal gift of mind
and speech, and we do not differ in any respect

(06:43):
from the Gods. If we use it wisely, we will
know we are not only immortal, but we are really
a creative being of the world. Now, listen to these words.
I am the Lord, and there is no other besides me.

(07:06):
There is no God. I have just quoted the forty
fifth chapter, the fifth verse of Isaiah, besides me, there
is no god. He gave me the same talent, gave
us the same talent which is himself, which is mind
and speech. I use the word imagination more off that

(07:28):
I use the word mind. But here the quote acaty.
They said it was mind and speech. But I say,
I have the ability to imagine. I can form my
thoughts in words. I can take my thoughts and form
them into words that would imply the fulfillment of my dream.

(07:50):
Am I now bold enough to assume that I realized
my ream before it is visible in my world? Now
listen to this fantastic promise as we read it in
the eleventh chapter of the Vocal Mark. Whoever will say
to this monthing be removed and cast into the sea,

(08:14):
and will not doubt it is hard, but believe that
what he says will come to pass. It will be
done for him. Now you can take the word munking
either actually, or you can take it simply as an
enormous problem. But what the problem is, and you can
just say to it, be removed and be cast into

(08:37):
the sea. If you will not doubt in your heart
that what you say will come to pass, it will
be done for you. Now the next verse powers with
this statement. Therefore, when you pray to believe that you
have received, and you will, I am called upon to

(08:58):
assume that I am the mayor that I would like
to be. And in spite of the montainous opposition that
would deny it by reason denies it. My sense is
deny it. Everything denies it. But I will persist in
that assumption, and then it will be done for me
in a way that no one knows. So can you

(09:21):
conceive of this way spoken of in scripture? Now, the
early Christians were called the people of the Way, and
the word way is simply the new conversations. As told
us anyhesions put off the old nature, which belongs to
your form of conversations, and put on the new nature

(09:45):
created after the likeness of God. So I'm identified with
my conversations. That my nature is simply my conversation. So
mine or other speech is the imager mind, and mind
is the image of God. If I were know what
God is, well, then look at my speech, for it

(10:10):
is the image of mind, and mind is the image
of God. So going to be are told in Deuteronomy,
the Word is not far from you it is in
your mouth and on your charm that you can do it. See.
I have set before you this day good and evil,

(10:31):
life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life that you
may have, and you and your descendants may live. Choose life.
But I can't deny the right of choice put before me.
The entire thing is good and evil, life and death,

(10:52):
blessings and cursing. But the suggestion is given, choose life.
I want to actually wrap someone out. Why leave it
alone and choose something altogether lovely. Ill take care of itself.
That mountain it seems to be my opposition. ILL take

(11:13):
care of itself. It's all within me if I use
the talent correctly. And my gift from God to myself
is mind and speech. And I need not wait for
the evidence to support. In spite of the lack of evidence,
I can precede it. Evidence will follow. The most creative
thing in us is to bring a thing into being.

(11:36):
And when the thing comes into being, it follows what
I did in my own wonderful inner conversations. We are
speaking beings speaking animals, and as we are told, he
gave it to us alone, and to no other mortal creature.
And this makes us the equivalent of the immortals. We

(11:58):
are immortal by reason of the gift to mind and speech.
Now I can misuse it, and the whole vast, manifested
world goes to show us what use or misuse we
have made of the gift of God. Wars of simply
brought about in the same manner. I will go back
to nineteen nineteen. My father was no profit. He was

(12:22):
not a man of the world, living in a small
little island in the West Indies. And around the table
I can hear him diguity power. He was a ship
chamber and supplied the ships with all their needings, especially groceries.
And so he sat to stay at the table, and
he said to his mother that it is to my mother,

(12:43):
his wife, and to all of us, there will be
another war in twenty years. And that's nineteen nineteen. The
boys were coming home from Europe after the First World War,
and mother said to him, Joseph, why do you say that.
Look at our sons. Will all be just right for
a war if it is going to happen in another

(13:04):
twenty years. He said it would take place in another
twenty years, and he even named the opponents then Germany,
Italy and Japan. Japan was not in the least in
the First World War, and fifty was not on the
side of Germany. It was on the side of the Allies.

(13:25):
He named these three. He got it from the captains,
and he got it from the store, and he got
it from the office of the ship that he supplied.
And he believed what they said. And he simply expressed
what he heard. But he heard it and he believed
it well. The war broke exactly twenty years later, on

(13:46):
the first of September nineteen thirty nine, when England declared
war in Germany as Germany moved into Poland. Now here,
that's not prophecy, is simply that these words are coming
to pass a simple little man in a little island,
unknown to the world, and he is voicing something. He

(14:09):
was not alone, because he was only giving voice to
those things said to him aboard the ships. And that's
how man thought. And today man is thinking in the
same way, misusing his one talent, which is his speech
and his mind. You could start now to come to
act all the nonsense in the papers and all the

(14:30):
nonsense on TV and radio by simply assuming that you
are what you were like to do, ignoring everything they
would oppose it, and dare to assume it to the
point of self conviction that you believe it? Do you
know it will come to pass? For this is the

(14:51):
coign of heaven. One morning back in nineteen fifty four,
I think it was my wife awoke from this deep,
deep sleep in all your vision for the boys to
speaking from the depth of her own self and speaking
to her, and these are the words. You must stop
spending your thoughts, your time, and your money. Everything in

(15:16):
life must be an investment. She came rushing into the
living room to the library, and then she took the
dictionary out to see the difference in meaning between the
words spending and investing, and the difference was the spain
is the layout without hope of return, while to invest

(15:40):
is to expect return on equity. One is to not
expect anything on what you do, and the other lays
to expect a return on equity. But they mentioned three things.
You also have time that you must invest, not spend.
Your thoughts must be an invested. I'm not spent and

(16:02):
your money invested are not spent. So you must stop
spending your thoughts, your time, and your money. Everything in
life must be an investment. Now. She wrote those words
for me back in nineteen fifty four. I think it
was it's a vision, a perfect vision for everyone to

(16:25):
take hold of, and a ply it so I know
what to do? What am I doing? You read the
morning paper and then you're disturbed and you do not
know the character is spoken out, but you're disturbed by
the thing's rave, and then you react and you're wasting
your thoughts, your time. At that moment. They may even

(16:47):
force you to go out and do something concerning the
money that you have. Someone is putting on pressure to
get you to invest in a certain thing. And it's
not an investment at all. It is a waste least.
You have control over your thought and over your child.
But I give my time to reading the either paper

(17:08):
or some little trivia that someone suggests that I can read,
or I take it into the book called the Word
of God and read God's words and take the word
as I did today, I took the word way and
then as I took the word away, and it leads
you into trade. Now, listen to the word trade, the

(17:29):
same mean, the same word. It's garret forever. The soul
of your foot shout trade I have given you. Can
you imagine it's a fantastic gift forever the soul of
your foot shout trade I have given to you in
the first chapter the third verse of Joshua, I don't

(17:51):
care what it is. Well, now, the same word trait
is conversation. So I'm treading out the wine press, as
I said, and carry on my conversations. And whatever I
am actually doing in my conversation, I'm threading out as
the wine press. And what am I treading the bitter
wine or the sweet wine? It's entirely up to me.

(18:16):
Wherever the soul of your foot show trade that I
have given to you, it's sturned for me, so I
can sit down and bring you into my mind's eye
and simply tread it. Have you tell me what physically
you haven't told me, but I wish you had told me,
and you would like to tell me, and simply carry

(18:37):
on a conversation, which is a dialogue. I hear you
tell me, and I rejoice in what you tell me,
and then I congratulate you in what you have told me,
And do I believe it? That is investing my time.
That's investing my thoughts and it works that way, as

(18:57):
I told you here. Recently, the lady not come back
to thank me usially when she was hair opening night,
but back in June of last year of this year,
pardon me, June this year, she wrote a letter asked
me to use my imagination on her behalf, that she
would like to dispose of a certain property and she's

(19:21):
asking five hundred or six hundred and fifty thousand dollars
for it. Well, I did not know what it was,
but she asked it offing and I invested my time
on her behalf. I invested my thoughts on her behalf
and heard her tell me that all that she asked
to me has happened as all that I heard, then

(19:44):
I dropped it. It only took me what a half
minute to work myself up into that emotional state of
feeling a happy state for her. She was hair opening night.
She hasn't been back since, but I got a letter
from her to a three weeks ago telling me that
everything he asked to me has come to pass. And

(20:05):
she also added to that and many more so if
what he said is true. Then she sold the property
that she had valued at six hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
plus many things more. He said, Now, all that it
took from me is to invest my thought, to invest
my time. I charge you nothing for it. He has

(20:28):
not given me one penny. I do not expect her
to give you one penny for it. There was no
arrangement between us. She only asked me to use my imagination,
loving me on behalf of her. And so I had
the time, and I have the thought, and I have
the gift. The gift is my own wonderful human imagination,

(20:49):
which is God and the ability to speak. And so
I carried it on the dialogue. So our control in
a dialogue is far more rewarding. You have no if
you try it, but it becomes a habit, and all
through the day you find yourself investing rather than spending.

(21:10):
If you catch yourself spending, you stop it because it's
a waste. And then you put on a new record.
So take off the old man, the old nature, which
belongs to the form of conversations, and put on the
new nature, which belongs after the image of God. Read

(21:30):
that in the fourth chapter of Ephesians. So I'm only
quoting from scripture. It's all there if man could only
see it. But then man is put upon his own
He has to stand upon his own feet and become
the offering power. You just can't turn around and say, well,
I am doing something good in the world. Before God
will be boding. Listen to the words, I am the Lord.

(21:55):
There is no other besides me. There is no God.
He actually became as we are that we may be
as he is. And his name, forever and forever is
I Am. So when you are told I am the Lord,

(22:15):
it's just as though you said I am the I Am.
For the word translated Lord means I am, so I
am the I Am. And there is no other besides me.
There is no God. So that is the God of scripture.
Your own wonderful human imagination is God, and there is

(22:38):
no other God. Now you have been given the gift
of God, which is the ability to speak and the
form thought, the form images in your mind's eye. And
now you're told to go out because before I this
very day, I said before you're both good and evil.
Choose either one, But I suggest choose life rather than death.

(23:03):
Choose the good rather than the evil. Choose the blessing
rather than the cursing. So in the very beginning he
created me, at the very beginning of his way of
his conversation. So, as we are told by the Great Bard,
it has been taught us from the primal state that

(23:23):
he which is was wished until he were, and he
never wavered in that wish. Let us make man in
our image, And so he did it in love. And
love is not love which falls us when it alteration finds.
So I see something that I love daily, and I

(23:44):
wish something wonderful for it that I hear a rumor,
or I even see something that is in contract with
what I have heard. But love is not love, which
alsos when fit alterational fines. So I go back to
what I actually heard, and I persist in the hearing,
and persist in that, and then it conforms to what

(24:04):
I have heard and continue to hear. So that is
how we create in this world. But if I allow
my senses to dictate the change, and then I accept
the evidence of my senses, well then I'm not really
applying this doore Wisely, I must deny the evidence of
my senses unless they conform to what I have assumed

(24:25):
that I want to be in this world. I must
deny reason if it is in conflict with what I
really want to have real in my world. And if
I do it, I will get the evidence in my
world it will come. So we have the coin of heaven.
The two sides to the coin is the gift of

(24:45):
God to man and to no other mortal creature, and
the gift is mind and speech. With these two is
does not differ in any respect from the immortals. And
when he sheds the certain body of his these will
be his guyes, and by then he'll be laid into

(25:06):
the truth of the gods and into the company of
the soul. To pertain to immortality attained to bliss. So
tonight you take these seriously and try it. If you
do not want something for yourself, there's some frame you
want it all and without his consent, without his knowledge,

(25:28):
don't tell him. Pears can be assumed that he is
the man that you like him to be, or she
is the woman you will like her to be, and
you persist in that assumption without their knowledge. If it's loving,
it doesn't really matter if they know it. Always exercise
it lovingly on behalf of another. And if you do it,
then you're not using cursing, You're using a blessing. And

(25:51):
if you do it lovely, then you're doing the good thing,
and you're doing the lovely thing in this world. And
so you avoided that little pitfall. To give you both,
I lay be for you to say both good and evil,
life and death, blessing and cursing. For he said in
Deuteronomy again in the thirty second chapter, I even I

(26:16):
am he, and there is no god beside me. I kill,
and I make a lie, I wound and I heal,
and there is none that can deliver out of my hands.
So entirely up to me what choice I'm going to make.
I can kill, I can make a lie, I can wound,
and I can heal. I can bless, and I can curse.

(26:36):
But we're told choose life. So you are already one
that in the very beginning he created for his own
lord and gave you himself. He actually became as we are,
with all the weaknesses and all the limitations of man,
that we in time may become as he is, fully

(26:58):
conscious of the gift that he gave us buying and speech.
And through these gifts we are and more creating anything.
Because now we have the choice of anything, but we
know what to choose. Don't you take it seriously? And
this very day, in spite of what the papers will

(27:18):
say concerning unemployment, concerning the lack of this, and the
lack of that, and all the things, ignore it, and
see yourself gainfully employed, if that's what you want. And
in spite of the priest, see yourself making more you
made before. Not rubbing someone out, leave them alone, not
rubbing anyone out or displacing anyone. Have good news for them.

(27:42):
And you go from step to step. The man who
knows sits in the White House. He had no beginning
anymore than we had. He came from a very poor
little family, a grocery store in the background. You fail
miserably running for governor of this state. He running for

(28:04):
the president of your first time. And who would have
thought he had one chance of a snowball in hell
to sit in the White House. There he is now,
and no one can deny that he is the president
of this tabulous country. There he is, and his chances
of success, depending on how he applies this law, are
very good. If he applies it wisely. For the second term,

(28:27):
it's entirely up to him if he knows this law.
But he must have some knowledge of this law, having
failed so miserbly in one of fifty states to run
for governor, and then to come back and run for
the head of fifty states and get it. But that's
the man. And if he knows this principle and doesn't
play too much politics, playing appearances, then you can't stop him.

(28:51):
But does he know it? I do not know if
he knows it or not. I only know that this
is the law taught in scripture, and scripture teaches it.
Whatever you desire, believe you've received it, and you will.
And whoever says to this mon can be removed and
cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his
heart that what he says will come to pass. It

(29:14):
will be done for it. Can you imagine it's a
fantastic promise that a man sitting alone, having no background whatsoever,
and everything is against him, and he has that talent
to become the man he wants to be by simply
using this gift, and he sits down and communes with himself.
As we are told in the folk arm be angry,

(29:38):
but sin not commune with your own heart upon your
beds and be silent, be angry, but sin not, or
if you blow your top if you want to, but
sin not. What means sin now to know what to
do or not to do. It is the sin that's sinning.

(29:58):
The word sin means to is the mark. So you
know what to do. If you don't do what you
know you ought to do, then you're sinning. Now you're
told you will die in your sins unless you believe
that I am He. So a man who does not
believe that he himself is the God to whom you
formerly prays will die in his sins because you're got

(30:20):
to pray to a false god if he turns on
the outside. There is no outside God. I am the
Lord besides me, there is no mother, there is no
other God. I am the only Lord. Your own wonderful consciousness,
that wonderful human imagination is God. And so if you
don't believe in it, you die in your sins. Before

(30:41):
you will not do what you ought to do. So
the body was quite right, because it's not the easiest
thing to do. So he said, I can eat here
and teach twenty what were good to do? Then to
be one of the twenty to follow my own teaching.
Letst thou go out determined up to falter, but to

(31:02):
actually follow our own teaching. Know what to do? Carry
on an in the conversation from the premise of the
wishful bills, and then persist in that assumption. If I
this night on my beate, if I keep that story
before me, as the fourth chapter of Psalm tells me
the fourth Psalm, commune with your own heart upon your bed,

(31:24):
and then be silence. Commune in what sense? Carry on
a dialogue? What dialogue from the premise of my wishful
fills well? With Who would I share it? Well? I
would share it with my wife first of all. Then
my daughter would be the next one to know it.
Then my circular trains would come into it. They would
know it well. Then carry on the dialogue with them,

(31:48):
help them congratulate you on your good fortune, and then
accept it as an accomplished pact. It will be done
for you, and fall asleep in that dialogue. Don't argue
that would only try that you are not aware of it.
That is something to be done, that some opticle to
be overcome. No, you go to the end of the matter.

(32:08):
Always go to the end and if I dwell in
the end as though it were present more than all
that I do, then I sleep in that assumption. So
I assume the feeling of the wish fulfill and then
sleep in that assumption, and then carry on the dialogue
from that assumption. And this control in a dialogue is

(32:29):
far more rewarding that you'll ever dream of. It comes
out in actual fruit bearing the fruit of that assumption.
This is the gift that God gave to every being
born a woman and to no other mortal creature. And
the gift is mind and speech. And these two mind

(32:54):
and speech, this is equivalent to that of immortality. And
if a man uses them wisely, he differs in no
respects from the immortals when he takes off this little garment,
and he must. Eventually they will be his guides, and

(33:17):
they will take him into the truth of the gods
and into the souls who will pertain to bliss those
who are in control of their thoughts and their speech.
So we stop spending our thoughts, our time, and our money,
and we start to invest our thoughts and our time
and our money. For everything in life must be an investment.

(33:45):
If you're riding on the street, car. You're riding on
a bus, thought idle the time shows your eyes to
the auchius. It's not altogether attractive, and carry on your
inner dialogue and invest that time. By the time you
get to your destination, you've invested wisely between getting on
the bus and getting off, if it's only twenty blocks away,

(34:07):
and you spent that in a very wise manner, and
you actually used the coin of heaven. It gave you
the coin of Heaven. Before you judge it, try it.
May I tell you, if you try it wisely and
really believe in it, it will prove itself in the testing.

(34:27):
And then it does really matter what others will say.
You have come that it works. You have the evidence
to support it, so it doesn't really matter what the
world will say. If you try to open up some
conversation with a brain or total stranger concerning this, they
might laugh at you, but it doesn't really matter. You
remain unshaken. I have had a moment. Friends, you are

(34:51):
in a quarty and you do not know the people,
and something leads from this to that, and suddenly you
find yourself breaking into a conversation of this nation, and
they become indifferent and they turn their back and go
elsewhere perfectly, all right, I'm not offended when it happens
that way. It doesn't really matter. One night, many years ago,

(35:17):
he's now gone from this world. You might have known
him by his reputation Walter of Dambrosh. He was a
great musician. I met him at the Harvard Club in
New York City, and this friend of mine didn't used
to be to him and introduced me as a great metaphysician,
which is silly. I never identify myself with metaphysics at all,

(35:42):
although the word is very good. But dam Rasch said
to me, and what's cool? Is your background Germanic school
or the French school of metaphysics or what's school of metaphysics?
And I said none, it's only my own vision. Well,
dam Rosh system be with it, turned around and walked away,

(36:07):
completely ignored me completely from that moment. Oh my goad.
He had to have some school recognized school, the Germanic school.
If I have said, well, I studied the Germanic concept
of metaphysics or the French concepts or the English concepts, No,
I said, I have no background of that nature. It's

(36:28):
only what I have actually experienced. I'm talking about my
own personal experience. And dam Roush turned around and off
you went. And that was his meeting with me for
just one short little moment. Now he is gone, and
my friend who deduced me to him, he has gone
too from this world. And there is no transforming power

(36:49):
in death as we are, so we are there none.
What's up there? From a fief fair, I'm a seat fair.
If I'm stupid here, I'm just as stupid there. And
if I'm looking for some background of the Germanic background,
I'm looking forward there too. And we'll go blindly by,
and he'll walk by and no one will recognize us.

(37:12):
He's bringing light into the world. He came into the world.
The world was made by him, and the world knew
him not. He came to his own, and his own
knew him not. They turned their backs upon it. As
he comes to the world and tells of the world
how it's brought into being through the word of God.

(37:33):
Can he tell you that you of God and ask
you to imitate God as their children? Well, as God
did it this way, and I must imitate him as
a their child. Tell me exactly how he did it?
So we are told through faith to understand that the
worlds were created by the Word of God, so that
things that are seen were made out of things which

(37:53):
do not appear. Is that how it's done? If there's
not yet a player what we should all life? But
I will assume that I am what I would like
to be and it has not yet appeared. Is that
how he did it? Yes, he calls the thing that
isn't seen as though it were, and the unseen becomes me. Well,
now I'll do the same thing if I must imitate

(38:15):
him as a deir child. So it is not yet
real in my world that I am the man that
I like to be, But I will dare to assume
that I am, and to prove it. I will carry
on this in a dialogue with a circle of friends
that would know it when it happens. But I'll try
it on, not as something to be something that is already.
So I carry it on from the preface of the

(38:37):
wish fulfill and sleep in that assumption just as though
it were true, and see how it works. Then it works,
and when it happens, it all happens in it a
marvelous way that you think it would have happened anyway.
It always works that way. It is so simple, and

(38:58):
the ways are so perfectly. When it happens, you're inclined
to say to yourself, and your friends will convince you, well,
you know, it would have happened anyway. You see how
it happened. If you met so and so, and so
and so introduce you to so and so, and through
these introductions it happened. Now would I have a met
this one, and would he introduce me to that one?

(39:18):
And therefore would have happened had I not preceded the
entire meetings by my assumption, And of course then they
has a big question mark, Well it would have happened anyway,
And many a person will say that because when it happens,
it always happens so naturally. Even if it comes suddenly,
it is still in a natural way that it happens.

(39:41):
Nothing comes out of the clouds and dropped in your
lap a huge bag of money. No, if it happens,
it's going to happen naturally. Even though it surprises your
friends and surprises you, it's going to happen in a
very normal, natural manner. So I appeal to you to
use your time and your thoughts wisely by investing them

(40:05):
rather than spend them. And you can start now at
this very moment, to invest your time, invest your thoughts,
and in the north distant future you'll get the fruit
of the investment. What to invest is to expect returns
on your equity. And you have equity in the ability

(40:25):
to think and to think in terms of images, think
in terms of thoughts, and you have time, so you
can actually take it now, uninvest it as I really
script you, and you take one word and go through
the concordance with the one word, and find some genesis

(40:48):
to revelation the use of that word, and how the
translator for all translations are really well what the translator
believes the artists or the author intended. So it's entirely
up to him. The all poaraphrases anyway, So why the
King James version will take the word conversation, and the

(41:10):
other one will take the revised standard version will take
the same word and use the word way. And then
you're confused what does it mean? Look up the word
It does mean both. Now which one is using the
word that the author intended? So if I put off
the old nature which belongs to the old conversation. And

(41:31):
then the other one tells me, I put off the
old nature, which belongs to the old way, which is
simply the course of life. And the way using one
is use conversation in another, and use treading in another,
and use path in another. And the same word Derek

(41:51):
as the Hebrew word put it so that one who
is going to paraphrase the script, he has the field
what he believes also intended when he wrote the words.
But if you take it all together, and if you
test it, you will see that, all right, it is
a way. And the early Christians were called the people

(42:12):
of the way. They've found out the way. Now he
said I am the way, I am the truth, I
am the life. It's like saying they were that I
am the conversation. And he does tell us that to
the words that I speaking of mine are the words
of him who said me. So he is the conversation piece.

(42:33):
Now make him my way, take his word, to make
them my words. But if you believe that I am
he right. If you do not believe that I am He,
you die in your sins, continue missing the mark from
now and to the end. When you actually believe that
I am he. So if you do not believe that
you yourself are the center of scripture, that you are

(42:54):
the God spoken of, well, then you will continue to
miss your mark. The day you actually will accept it
that you are the being spoken of when scripture as God,
as the Lord Jesus. If you believe it, you'll begin
to test it for all things that possible to him.
Then you begin to actually take it into your own
hands to do something about it. If I am here

(43:16):
and all things that possible to him, well, how did
he do it? He brought it into being with the word. Now,
listen to the word. The word that proceeds from my
mouth shall not returned unto me void, but shall accomplish
that which I purpose and prosper in the thing for
which I sent it. It shall not returned unto me void,

(43:40):
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose and prosper
in the thing for which I sent it. Now, the
same thing that is speaking is speaking in you. You
believe you can speak a word by actually assuming that
it is so. Now as you assume that it is so,
you've sent it on its way. It cannot be turned
until you empty. It must accomplish that with your purpose.

(44:02):
I'm prospering the thing for which you sent it. If
you want to quote it is from the fifty fifth
chapter of the Book of Isaiah. That's how God brings
things into the world. And then I'm invited to be
an imitator of God as a dear child. So tonight

(44:23):
take me seriously and go out determined to prove or
disprove what I've told you. I asked you to try
it here not in eternity. Disprove it me I tell you,
or I'm telling you what I know from experience. I
am not theorizing. This is fact. And therefore lo the

(44:45):
thing of this work and stop you from becoming what
you want to be but yourself. If you allow a
seeming object in the world call another to argue out
of this concept, all well and good s to you.
If you believe that there's evil in the world, you
have to fight the evil and join this and join

(45:07):
that and join the other. Or entirely up to you.
If instead of fighting the evil, you choose the good
instead of cursing states, you choose the blessing and choose
life instead of death, all right, then you go about
your own business, investing your time investing your thought and

(45:28):
investing your money rather than spending these things in the world.
For all these joiners are only spending. That's all they're doing.
And they're the ones who get all the publicity in
the paper. And the paper, from beginning to end, is
based upon a negative state.
