231 Faith In The Imaginal Act

"Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and incomprehensible things you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3 Incomprehensible from a certain point of view, but so clear, so breathtaking and obvious from another. Turn to yourself. You’re not calling on a power outside of yourself. One of the most difficult things for me was truly letting go of secondary causes. I said there was no other power but my own imagination, but I held a little idea deep down that the thing I call my imagination was still some other power, something ever so slightly separate from me. Let go of a little you and a big you. It’s you, momentarily captivated with the notion of being little and big. You’re so much more. Turn to yourself. As you do, more and more layers will peel back. You’ll see so clearly how everything is responding to you.

Isn't it funny how we trust the word of a teacher we've never met and likely never will more than we trust the only one that matters. Ourselves! 

One night I something dawned on me. I have no problem keeping my promises to my friends and family. I imagine them just as they want to be and I refuse to let doubt creep in. The question I asked myself in that moment was, "Then why the hell do I continue to cave and settle, breaking my promises to myself?" My string of broken promises ended that night.

What I really want to impress on you today is that you are beautiful. You are holy. You’re perfect. Your awareness of being is God. You are the operant power. The filter you’re using to view yourself and your world is the only thing making you think you’re less than.  What we see through the filter or our state of consciousness is so convincing we believe what we see and experience in the physical world is the only reality. And as we remain convinced, it feels nearly impossible to detach from it and trust the reality called imagination or awareness.  I can never make you believe you're a limitless being experiencing yourself as a limited person. No amount of programs or books or podcasts can make you see just how wonderful you are. It is a first person present tense, singular experience. Everything really is already first person present tense, singular but it seems that there are powers and influences outside of your control. Because you believe them to be outside of you. 

You are so much more than you've let yourself believe.

"I didn’t need to find an empty room to get into the silence. The stillness is always with me. It is me. The immovable rock of my salvation. My I Amness. The I Am never changes. My states do. But as long as I continued to believe I am the state I am presently entertaining, I could get lost in it.  Just breathe. Loosen my focus for a moment..."

I received so many wonderful topic suggestions last week. Thank you for all the great ideas!   This episode is the first of my responses.  "I must not wait for facts to believe that I am the man that I want to be. I produce the facts if I know who I am." Neville 

My state was the cause and a new state is the solution.  "Consciousness is the one and only reality. There is no one to whom we can turn after we discover that our own awareness is God. For God is the cause of all and there is nothing but God." Neville Goddard

“Desiring is thinking of; living it is thinking from. Don’t desire it, live it! I go to bed tonight desiring? No, go to bed living it. Sleep as though you were now the man that you formerly desired to be, just as though it were true.” Neville Goddard

Drop every reasonable explanation of why you can’t be the person you want to be. Not by fighting it or avoiding it, but by embracing the new state. Fasten yourself to it in Imagination.
