this is Eyvette from my world of
metaphysics and today we're going to
listen to at your command by Neville God

help change your life if you new to my
world of metaphysics this is the channel
that brings you all the law of
attraction metaphysical lessons in an
easy-to-understand manner so don't
forget to Like and subscribe and tap
that Bell okay now let's get started
this is at your command by neville
goddard
preface this book contains the very
essence of the principle of expression
had I cared to I could have expanded it
into a book of several hundred pages but
such expansion would have defeated the
purpose of this book commands to be
effective must be shortened to the point
the greatest command ever recorded is
found in the few simple words and God
said let there be light in keeping with
this principle I now give to you the
reader in these few pages the truth as
it was revealed to me neville goddard
command degree of thing and have it come
to pass most decidedly he can man has
always decreed that which has appeared
in his world and is today the cream that
which is appearing in his world and
shall continue to do so as long as man
is conscious of being man not one thing
has ever appeared in man's world but
what man degree that it should this you
may deny but try as you will you cannot
disprove it for this decree is based
upon a changeless principle you do not
command things to appear by your words
or loud affirmations such vain
repetition is more often than not
confirmation of the opposite decree is
ever done in consciousness that is every
man is conscious of being that which he
has decreed himself to be
the dumb man without using words is
conscious of being dumb therefore he is
decree himself to be dumb when the Bible
is read in this light you will find it
to be the greatest scientific book ever
written instead of looking upon the
Bible as the historical record of an
ancient civilization or the biography of
the unusual life of Jesus see it as a
great psychological drama taking place
in the consciousness of man claim it as
your own and you will suddenly transform
your world from the barren deserts of
Egypt to the promised land of Canaan
everyone will agree with the statement
that all things were made by God and
without him there is nothing made that
is made but what man does not agree upon
is the identity of God all the churches
and priesthoods of the world disagree as
to the identity and through nature of
God the Bible proves beyond the shadow
of a doubt that Moses and the prophets
were in 100% Accord as to the identity
and nature of God and Jesus life and
teachings are in agreement with the
findings of the prophets of old Moses
discovered God to be man's awareness of
being when he declared these little
understood words I am hath sent me unto
you David sang in his Psalms be still
and know that I am God Isaiah declared I
am the Lord and there is none else there
is no God beside me I go to thee though
thou has not known me i form the light
and create darkness I make peace and
create evil i LORD do all these things
the awareness of being as God is stated
hundreds of times in the New Testament
to name but a few
I am the shepherd I am the door I am the
resurrection and the life I am the way I
am the Alpha and Omega I am beginning in
the air
and again whom do you say that I am it
is not stated I Jesus and the door I
Jesus Sam the way nor is it said who do
you say that I Jesus and it is clearly
stated I am the way the awareness of
being is the door through which the
manifestations of life pass into the
world of form consciousness is the
resurrecting power resurrecting that
which man is conscious of being man is
ever out picturing that which he is
conscious of being this is the truth
that makes man free the man is always
self imprisoned or self freed if you the
reader will give up all of your former
beliefs in a God apart from yourself and
claim God as your awareness of being as
Jesus and the prophets did you will
transform your world with the
realization that I and my father are one
this statement I and my father are one
but my father is greater than I seems
very confusing but if interpreted in the
lights of what we've just said
concerning the identity of God you will
find it very revealing consciousness
being God is as father the thing that
you are conscious of being is the son
bearing witness of his father
it is like the concealer and it's
conceptions the concealer is ever
greater than his conceptions yet ever
remains one with his conception for
instance before you are conscious of
being man you are first conscious of
being then you become conscious of being
man yet you remain as conceived ER
greater than your conception man Jesus
discovered this glorious truth and
declared himself to be one with God not
a God that man had fashioned for he
never recognized such a God he said if
any man should ever come saying look
here all up there believe them not for
the kingdom of God is within you
is within you therefore when it is
recorded that he went unto his father it
is telling you that he rose in
consciousness to the point where he was
just conscious of being thus
transcending the limitations of his
present conception of himself called
Jesus in the awareness of being all
things are possible he said you shall
decree of thing and it shall come to
pass
this is his decree rising in
consciousness to the naturalness of
being the thing desired as he expressed
it and died if I be lifted up I shall
draw all men unto me if I be lifted up
in consciousness to the naturalness of
the thing desired I will draw the
manifestation of that desire unto me for
he states no man comes unto me save the
father within me draws him and I and my
father are one therefore consciousness
is the father that is drawing the
manifestations of life unto you you are
at this very moment drawing into your
world that would you on our conscious of
being now you can see what is meant by
you must be born again if you are
dissatisfied with your present
expression in life the only way to
change it is to take your attention away
form that which seems so real to you and
rise in consciousness to that which you
desire to be you cannot serve two
masters therefore to take your attention
from one state of consciousness and
place it upon another is to die to one
and live to the other the question who
do you say that I am is not addressed to
a man called Peter by one called
Jesus this is the eternal question
addressed to oneself by one's true being
in other words whom do you say that you
are for your conviction of yourself your
opinion of yourself will determine your
expression in life he states you believe
in God believe also in me in other words
it is the me within you that is this God
praying then
is seen to be recognizing yourself to be
that which you now desire rather than
it's accepting form of petitioning a God
that does not exist for that which you
now desire so can't you see why the
millions of prayers are unanswered men
pray to a god that does not exist for
instance to be conscious of being poor
and to pray to a god for riches is to be
rewarded with that which you are
conscious of being which is poverty
prayers to be successful must be
claiming rather than begging so if you
would pray for cheese turn from your
picture of poverty by denying the very
evidence of your senses and assume the
nature of being wealthy
we are told when you pray go with an in
secret and shut the door and that which
your father sees in secret with that
will he reward you openly we have
identified the father to be the
awareness of being we have also
identified the door to be the awareness
of being so shutting the door is
shutting out that which I am now aware
of being and claiming myself to be that
which I desire to be the very moment my
claim is established to the point of
conviction that moment I begin to draw
unto myself the evidence of my claim do
not question the how these things
appearing for no man knows that way that
is no manifestation knows how the things
desired will appear consciousness is the
way or door through which things appear
he said I am the way not I John Smith
and the way but I am the awareness of
being is the way through which the
things shall come the signs always
follow they never proceed
things have no reality other than in
consciousness therefore get the
consciousness first and the thing is
compelled to appear you are told seek ye
first the kingdom of heaven and all
things shall be added unto you get first
the consciousness of the things that you
are seeking and leave the things alone
this is what is meant by ye shall decree
a thing and it shall come to pass apply
this principle and you will know what it
is to prove me and see the story of
Mary's the story of everyman Mary was
not a woman giving birth in some
miraculous way to one called Jesus Mary
is the awareness of being that ever
remains virgin no matter how many
desires it gives birth to right now look
upon yourself as this Virgin Mary being
impregnated by yourself through the
medium of desire becoming one with your
desire to the point of embodying or
giving birth to your desire for instance
it is said of Mary whom you now know to
be yourself
that she know not a man yet she
conceived that is you John Smith have no
reason to believe that that which you
now desire is possible but having
discovered your awareness of being to be
God you make this awareness your husband
didn't conceive a man child
manifestation of the Lord for thy maker
is thy husband the Lord of Hosts is his
name the Lord God of the whole earth
shall he be called your ideal or
ambition is this conception the first
command to her which is now to yourself
is go tell no man that is do not discuss
your ambitions or desires with another
for the other will only echo your
present fears secrecy is the first law
to be observed in realizing your desire
the second as we are told in the story
of Mary is to magnify the Lord we have
identified the Lord as your awareness of
being therefore to magnify the Lord is
to revalue or expand ones present
conception of one's self to the point
where this revaluation becomes natural
when this naturalness is attained you
give birth by becoming that which you
are one within consciousness the story
of creation is given us in digests
forming the
first chapter of John in the beginning
was the word now this very second is the
beginning spoken of it is the beginning
of an urge a desire the word is the
desire swimming around in your
consciousness seeking embodiment the
urge of itself has no reality for I am
or the awareness of being is the only
reality things live only as long as I am
aware of being them so to realize ones
desire the second line of this first
verse of John must be applied that is
and the Word was with God the word or
desire must be fixed or United with
consciousness to give it reality the
awareness becomes aware of being the
thing desired thereby nailing itself
upon the form or conception and giving
life unto its conception all
resurrecting that which was heretofore a
dead or unfulfilled desire to shall
agree is touching anything and it shall
be established on earth this agreement
is never made between two persons it is
between the awareness and the thing
desired even our conscious of being so
you are actually saying to yourself
without using words I am now if it is a
state of hell that you are desirous of
attaining before you have any evidence
of health in your world you begin to
feel yourself to be healthy and the very
second the feeling I am healthy is
attained the two have agreed that is I
am and health have agreed to be one in
this agreement ever results in the birth
of a child which is the thing agreed
upon in this case health and because I
made the agreement I express the thing
agreed so you can see why Moses stated I
am it sent me for what being other than
I am could send you into expression none
for I am the way beside me there is no
other if you take the wings of the
morning and fly into the uttermost parts
of the
world or if you make your bed in hell
you will still be aware of being you are
ever sent into expression by your
awareness and your expression is ever
that which you are aware of being again
Moses stated I am that I am now here is
something to always bear in mind you
cannot put new wine in old bottles or
new patches upon old garments that is
you cannot take with you into the new
consciousness any part of the old man
all of your present beliefs fears and
limitations are weights that bind you to
your present level of consciousness if
you would transcend this level you must
leave behind all that is now your
present self or conception of yourself
to do this you take your attention away
from all that is now your problem or
limitation and dwell upon just being
that is you say silently but feeling to
yourself I am do not condition this
awareness as yet just declare yourself
to be and continue to do so until you
are lost in the feeling of just being
faceless and formulas when this
expansion of consciousness is attained
then within this formless deep of
yourself give form to the new conception
by feeling yourself to be that which you
desire to be you will find within this
deep of yourself all things to be
divinely possible everything in the
world which you can conceive a being is
to you within this present formless
awareness a most natural attainment the
invitation given us in the scriptures is
to be absent from the body and be
present with the Lord the body being
your former conception of yourself and
the Lord - your awareness of being this
is what is meant when Jesus said to
Nicodemus ye must be born again for
except ye be born again he cannot enter
the kingdom of heaven
that is except you leave behind you your
present conception of yourself and
assume the nature of the new birth you
will continue to out picture your
present limitations the only way to
change your expressions of life is to
change your consciousness for
consciousness is the reality that
eternally solidifies itself in the
things round about you
man's world in its every detail is his
consciousness out pictured you can no
more change your environment or world by
destroying things than you can your
reflection by destroying the mirror your
environment and all within it reflect
that which you are in consciousness as
long as you continue to be that in
consciousness so long will you continue
to out picture it in your world knowing
this begin to revalue yourself man has
placed too little value upon himself in
the book of numbers you will read in
that day there were giants in the land
and we were in our own sight as
grasshoppers and we were in their sight
as grasshoppers this does not mean a
time in the dim past when man had the
stature of giants today is the day the
eternal now when conditions round about
you have attained the appearance of
giants such as unemployed the armies of
your enemy your problems and all things
that seem to threaten you those are the
giant that make you feel yourself to be
a grasshopper but you are told you were
first in your own sight a grasshopper
and because of this you were to the
Giants a grasshopper in other words you
can only be to others watch you are
first to yourself
therefore to revalue yourself and begin
to feel yourself to be the giant a
center of power is to dwarf these former
Giants and make of them grasshoppers all
the inhabitants of the earth are as
nothing and Hido according to his will
in the armies of heaven and among all
the inhabitants of the earth
and none can stay his hand nor say unto
Him what doest thou this being spoken of
is not the Orthodox Scot sitting in
space but the one and only God the
everlasting father your awareness of
being cell awake to the power that you
are not as man but as your true self a
faceless formless awareness and free
yourself from your self-imposed prison I
am The Good Shepherd and know my sheep
and am known of mine my sheep hear my
voice and I know them and they will
follow me awareness is the Good Shepherd
what I am aware of being is the sheep
that follow me so good a shepherd is
your awareness that it has never lost
one of the sheep that you are aware of
being I am a voice calling in the
wilderness of human confusion for such
as I am aware of being and never shall
become a time when at which I am
convinced that I am shall fail to find
me
I am as an open door for all that I am
to enter your awareness of being his
Lord and Shepherd of your life so the
Lord is my shepherd I shall not want is
seen in its true light now to be your
consciousness you could never be in want
of proof or lack the evidence of that
which you are aware of being this been
true why not become aware of being Great
God loving wealthy healthy and all
attributes that you admire it is just as
easy to possess the consciousness of
these qualities as it is to possess
their opposites for you have not your
present consciousness because of your
world on the contrary your world is what
it is because of your present
consciousness simple is it not too
simple in fact for the wisdom of man
that tries to complicate everything
Paul said of this principle it is to the
Greeks on wisdom of this world
foolishness and to the Jews
those who look for signs a stumbling
block with the result that man continues
to walk in darkness rather than awake to
the being that he is man has so long
worshipped the images of his own making
that at first he finds this revelation
blasphemous since it spells death to all
his previous beliefs in a God apart from
himself this revelation will bring the
knowledge that I and my father are one
but my father is greater than I you are
one with your present conception of
yourself but you are greater than that
which you are at presence aware of being
before man can attempt to transform his
world he must first lay the foundation I
am the Lord that is man's awareness his
consciousness off being this God until
this is firmly established so that no
suggestion or argument put forward by
others can shake it he will find himself
returning to the slavery of his former
beliefs if he believed not that I am he
ye shall die in your sins that is you
shall continue to be confused and
thwarted until you find the cause of
your confusion when you have lifted up
the Son of man then shall you know that
I am he that is that I John Smith do
nothing of myself but my father or that
state of consciousness which I am now
one with does the works when this is
realized every urgent desire that
Springs with a new shall find expression
in your world behold I stand at the door
and knock If any man hear my voice and
open the door I will come into him and
sup with him and he with me the I
knocking of the door is the urge the
door is your consciousness to open the
door is to become one with that that
which is knocking by feeling oneself to
be the thing desired to feel one's
desire as impossible is to shut the door
or deny the search expression to rise in
consciousness to the naturalness of the
thing felt is to swing wide the door and
invite this one into him
bah diamond that is why it is constantly
recorded that Jesus left the world of
manifestation and ascended unto his
father Jesus as you and I found all
things impossible to Jesus as man but
having discovered his father to be the
state of consciousness of the thing
desired he but left behind him the Jesus
consciousness and rose in consciousness
to that state desired and stood upon its
until he became one with it as he made
himself one with that he became that in
expression this is Jesus simple message
to man men are but garments that the
impersonal being I am the presence that
men call God dwells in each garment to
certain limitations in order to
transcend these limitations and give
expression to that which as man John
Smith you find yourself incapable of
doing
you take your attention away from your
present limitations or John Smith
conception of yourself and merge
yourself in the feeling of being that
which you desire just how this desire or
newly attained consciousness will embody
itself no man knows for I or the newly
attained consciousness has ways that he
know not of its ways our past finding
out do not speculate as to the how of
this consciousness embodying itself for
no man is wise enough to know the how
speculation is proof that you have not
attained to the naturalness of being the
thing desired and so are filled with
doubts you are told he who lacks wisdom
let him ask of God but gives to all
liberally and upbraideth not and it
shall be given unto him but let him ask
not doubting for he who dances as a wave
of the sea that is tossed and battered
by the winds and let not such a one
think that he shall receive anything
from the Lord you can see why this
statement is made for only upon the rock
of faith can anything be established
if you have not the consciousness of the
thing you have not the cause or
foundation upon which thing is erected a
proof of this established consciousness
is given you in the words thank you
Father when you come into the joy of
Thanksgiving so that you actually feel
grateful for having received that which
is not yet apparent to the senses you
have definitely become one in
consciousness with the thing for which
you gave thanks God your awareness is
not mocked you are ever receiving that
which you are aware of being and no man
gives thanks for something which he has
not received thank you far there is not
as it is used by many today a sort of
magical formula you need never utter
aloud the words thank you Father in
applying this principle as you rise in
consciousness to the point where you are
really grateful and happy for having
received the thing desired you
automatically rejoice and give thanks
inwardly you have already accepted the
gift which was but a desire before you
rose and consciousness and your faith is
now the substance that shall clothe your
desire this rising in consciousness is
the spiritual marriage where two shall
agree upon being one and their likeness
or image is established on earth for
whatsoever ye ask in my name the same
give I unto you whatsoever is quite a
large measure it is the unconditional it
does not state if society deems it right
or wrong that you should ask it it rests
with you do you really want it do you
desire it that is all that is necessary
life will give it to you is you ask in
his name his name is not a name that you
pronounce with the lips you can ask
forever in the name of God or Jehovah or
Christ Jesus and you will ask him famed
name means nature so when you ask him
the nature of a thing results ever
follow to asking the name is to rise in
consciousness
become one in nature with the thing
desired rise in consciousness to the
nature of the thing and you will become
the thing in expression therefore what
things soever ye desire when he prayed
believe that he received the money shall
receive them praying as we have shown
you before is recognition the injunction
to believe that he received his first
person present tense this means that you
must be in the nature of the things
asked for before you can receive them to
get into the nature easily general
amnesty is necessary
we are told forgive if ye have ought
against any that you're far there also
which is in heaven may forgive you but
if ye forgive not neither will your
father forgive you this may seem to be
some personal guard who is pleased or
displeased with your actions but this is
not the case
consciousness being God if you hold in
consciousness anything against man you
are binding that condition of your world
but release man from all condemnation is
to free yourself so that you may rise to
any level necessary there is therefore
no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus
therefore a very good practice before
you enter into your meditation is first
to free every man in the world from
blame for law is never violated and you
can rest confidently in the knowledge
that every man's conception of himself
is going to be his reward so you do not
have to bother yourself about seeing
whether or not man gets what you
consider you should get for life makes
no mistakes and always gives man that
which man first gives himself this
brings us to that much of used statement
of the Bible on tithing teachers of all
kinds have enslaved man with this affair
of tithing for not themselves
understanding the nature of tiling and
being themselves fearful of lack they
have led their followers to believe that
attend
part of their income should be given to
the Lord meaning as they make very clear
that when one gives the tenth part of
his income to their particular
organization he is giving his tenth pass
to the Lord or is tithing but remember I
am the Lord your awareness of being is
the God that you give to and you ever
give in this manner therefore when you
claim yourself to be anything you have
given that claim or quality to God and
your awareness of being which is no
respecter of persons will return to you
pressed down shaken together and running
over with that quality or attribute
which you claim for yourself awareness
of being is nothing that you could ever
name to claim God to be rich to be great
to be loved to be all wise is to define
that which cannot be defined for God is
nothing that could ever be named tiling
is necessary and you do tithe with God
but from now on give to the only God and
see to it that you give him the quality
that you desire as man to express by
claiming yourself to be the great the
wealthy the loving the all-wise do not
speculate as to how you shall express
these qualities or claims for life has a
way that you as man know not of its ways
our past finding out but I assure you
the day you claim these qualities to the
point of conviction your claims will be
honored there is nothing covered that
shall not be uncovered that which is
spoken and secret shall be proclaimed
from the housetops that is your secret
convictions of yourself these secret
claims that no man knows of when really
believed will be shouted from the
housetops in your world for your
convictions of yourself are the words of
the God within you which words are
spirit and cannot return unto you void
but must accomplish where until they are
sent you are at this moment calling out
to the infinite that which you are an
hour conscious of being and not one word
or conviction will fail
to find you I am the vine and he are the
branches consciousness is the vine and
those qualities which you are now
conscious of being are as branches that
you feed and keep alive just as a branch
has no life except it be rooted in the
vine so likewise things have no life
except you be conscious of them just as
a branch withers and dies if the SAP of
the vine ceases to flow towards it so do
things in your world pass away if you
take your attention from them because
your attention is as the SAP of life
that keeps alive and sustains the things
of your world to dissolve a problem that
now seems so real to you all that you do
is remove your attention from it in
spite of its seeming reality turn from
it unconsciousness become indifferent
and begin to feel yourself to be that
which would be the solution of the
problem for instance if you were
imprisoned no man would have to tell you
that you should desire freedom freedom
or rather the desire of freedom would be
automatic so why look behind the four
walls of your prison bars take your
attention from being imprisoned and
begin to feel yourself to be free feel
it to the point where it is natural the
very second you do so those prison bars
will dissolve apply this same principle
to any problem I have seen people who
were in debt up to their rears apply
this principle and in the twinkling of
an eye debts that were mountainous were
removed I have seen those whom doctors
had given up as incurable take their
attention away from their problem of
disease and begin to feel themselves to
be well in spite of the evidence of
their sense to the contrary in no time
at all this so-called incurable disease
vanished and left no scar your answer to
whom do you say that I am sick ever
determines your expression as long as
you are conscious of being imprisoned or
diseased or poor
long will you continue to out picture or
express these conditions when man
realized that he is now that which he is
seeking and begins to claim that he is
he will have the proof of his claim this
Q's given you in words whom seek ye and
they answered Jesus and the voice said
by him he Jesus here means salvation or
Savior you are seeking to be salvaged
from that which is not your problem I am
is he that will save you if you are
hungry your Savior is food if you are
poor your savior is riches if you are
imprisoned your Savior is freedom if you
are diseased it will not be a man called
Jesus who will save you but health will
become your Savior
therefore claim I am he in other words
claim yourself to be the thing desired
claim it in consciousness not in words
and consciousness will reward you with
your claim you are told you shall find
me when you feel love to me well feel
after that quality in consciousness
until you feel yourself to be it when
you lose yourself in the feeling of
being it the quality will embody itself
in your world you are healed from your
problem when you touch the solution of
it who has touched me for I perceive
virtue is gone out of me yes
the day you touch this being within you
feeling yourself to be cured or healed
virtues will come out of your very self
and solidify themselves in your world as
healings it is said you believe in God
believe also in me for I am he have the
faith of God he made himself one with
God and found it not robbery to do the
works of God go you and do likewise
yes begin to believe your awareness your
consciousness of being to be God claim
for yourself all the attributes that you
have heretofore given an external God
and you will begin to express these
claims
for I am NOT a god of far off I am
nearer than your hands and feet nearer
than your very breathing
I am your awareness of being I am that
in which all that I shall ever be aware
of being shall begin an end for before
the world was I am and when the world
shall cease to be I am before Abraham
was I am
this I Amos your awareness except the
Lord build a house they labor in vain
that build it the Lord beam your
consciousness except that which you seek
is first established in your
consciousness you will labor in vain to
find it
all things must begin and end in
consciousness so blessed indeed is the
man that trusteth in himself for man's
faith in God will ever be measured by
his confidence in himself you believe in
a God believe also in me put not your
trust in men for men but reflect the
beam that you are and can only bring to
you or do unto you that which you have
first done unto yourself no man taketh
away my life I lay it down myself I have
the power to lay down in the power to
take it up again
no matter what happens to man in this
world it is never an accident it occurs
under the guidance of an exact and
changeless law no man manifestation
comes unto me except the father within
me draw him and I and my father are one
believe this truth and you will be free
man has always blamed others for that
which he is and will continue to do so
until he find himself as cause of all I
am comes not to destroy but to fulfill I
am the awareness within you destroys
nothing but ever fill full the molds of
conception one has of one's self it is
impossible for the poor man to find
wealth in this world no matter how he is
surrounded with it until he first claims
himself to be wealthy for signs follow
they do not proceed
to constantly kick and complain against
the limitations of poverty while
remaining poor in consciousness is to
play the fool's game changes cannot take
place from that level of consciousness
for life in constantly out picturing all
levels follow the example of the
prodigal son realize that you yourself
brought about this condition of waste
and lack and make the decision within
yourself to rise to a higher level where
the fatted calf the ring and the road
awaits your claim there was no
condemnation of the prodigal when he had
the courage to claim this inheritance as
his own others will condemn us only as
long as we continue in that for which we
condemn ourselves so happy is the man
that condemned me through self not in
that which he earth for till life
nothing is condemned all is expressed
life does not care whether you call
yourself rich or poor strong or weak it
will eternally reward you with that
which you claim is true of yourself the
measurements of right and wrong belong
to man alone to life there is nothing
right or wrong as Paul stated in his
letters to the Romans I know and am
persuaded by the Lord Jesus that there
is nothing unclean of itself but to him
that his team if anything to be unclean
to him it is unclean
stopppp asking yourself whether you are
worthy or unworthy to receive but which
few desire you as man did not create the
desire your desires are ever fashioned
within you because of what you now claim
yourself to be when a man is hungry
without thinking he automatically
desires food when imprisoned he
automatically desires freedom and so
forth your desires contain within
themselves the plan of self-expression
so leave all judgements out of the
picture and rise in consciousness to the
level of your desire and make yourself
one with it by claiming it to be so now
for my grace is sufficient for the
my strength is made perfect in weakness
have faith in this unseen flame until
the conviction is born within you that
it is so your confidence in this claim
will pay great rewards just a little
while and he the thing desired will come
but without faith it is impossible to
realize anything through faith the
worlds were framed because faith is the
substance of the thing hoped for the
evidence of the thing not yet seen don't
be anxious or concerned as to results
they will follow just as surely as day
follows night look upon your desires all
of them as the spoken words of God and
every word or desire a promise the
reason most of us fail to realize our
desires is because we are constantly
conditioning them do not condition your
desire just accept it as it comes to you
give thanks for it to the point that you
are grateful for having already received
it then go about your way and peace such
acceptance of your desire is like
dropping seed fertile seed into prepared
soil for when you can drop the thing
desired in consciousness
confident that it shall appear you have
done all that is expected to you but to
be worried or concerned about the how of
your desire maturing is to hold these
fertile seeds in a mental grasp and
therefore never to have dropped them in
the soil of confidence the reason men
condition their desires is because they
constantly judge after the appearance of
being and see the things as real
forgetting that the only reality is the
consciousness back of them to see things
as real is to deny that all things are
possible to God the man who is
imprisoned and sees his four walls as
really is automatically denying the urge
or promise of God within him of freedom
a question often asked when this
statement is made is if one's desire is
a gift of God how can you say that if
one desires to kill a man
such a desire is good and therefore
godsend
in answer to this let me say that no man
desires to kill another what he does
desire is to be freed from such a one
but because he does not believe that the
desire to be free from such a one
contains within itself the powers of
freedom he conditions the desire and
sees the only way to express such
freedom is to destroy the man forgetting
that the life wrapped within the desire
his ways that he as mam knows not of its
ways are past finding out thus man
distorts the gifts of God through his
lack of faith problems are the mountains
spoken of that can be removed if one has
but the faith of a grain of a mustard
seed men approach their problem as did
the old lady who on attending service
and hearing the priest say if you hit
but the faith of a grain of a mustard
seed you would say unto young do
mountain be thou removed and it shall be
removed and nothing is impossible to you
that night as she said her prayers she
quoted this part of the scriptures and
retired to bed in what she thought was
faith on arising in the morning she
rushed to the window and exclaimed I
knew that old mountain would still be
there for this is how man approaches his
problem he knows that they are still
going to confront him and because life
is no respecter of persons and destroys
nothing it continues to keep alive that
which he is conscious of being things
will disappear only as man changes in
consciousness deny it if you will it
still remains a fact but consciousness
is the only reality and things but
mirror that which you are in
consciousness so the heavenly state you
are seeking will be found only in
consciousness for the kingdom of heaven
is within you as the will of heaven is
ever done on earth you are today living
in the heaven that you have established
within you for here on this very earth
your
heaven reveals itself the kingdom of
heaven really is at hand
now is the accepted time so create a new
heaven enter into a new state of
consciousness and the new earth will
appear the former things shall pass away
they shall not be remembered not coming
to mind anymore
for behold I your consciousness come
quickly and my reward is with me
I am nameless but will take upon myself
every name nature that you call me
remember it is you yourself that I speak
of as me so every conception that you
have of yourself that is every deep
conviction you have of yourself is that
which you shall appear as being for I am
NOT fooled God is not mocked
now let me instruct you in the art of
fishing it is recorded that the
disciples fished all night and caught
nothing then Jesus came upon the scene
and told them to cast their nets in once
more into the same waters that only a
moment before were barren and this time
their nets were bursting with the catch
this story is taking place in the world
today right with a new the reader for
you have within you all the elements
necessary to go fishing but until you
find that Jesus Christ your awareness is
Lord you will fish as did these
disciples in the night of human darkness
that is you will fish for things
thinking things to be real and will fish
with the human bait which is a struggle
and an effort trying to make contact
with this one and that one trying to
cure us this being or the other being
and all such effort will be in vain but
when you discover your awareness of
being to be Christ Jesus you will let
him direct your fishing
and you will fish in consciousness for
the things that you desire for your
desire will be the fish that you will
catch because your consciousness is the
only living reality you will fish in the
deep waters of consciousness if you
would catch that which is beyond your
present capacity you must launch out
into deeper waters for within your
present consciousness such Fisher
desires cannot swim to launch out into
deeper waters you leave behind you all
that is now your present problem all
imitation by taking your attention away
from it turn your back completely upon
every problem and limitation that you
now possess dwell upon just being by
saying I am I am I am to yourself
continue to declare to yourself that you
just are do not condition this
declaration just continue to feel
yourself to be and without warning you
will find yourself slipping the anchor
the tire due to the shallow of your
problems and moving out into the deep
this is usually accompanied with the
feeling of expansion you will feel
yourself expand as though you were
actually growing don't be afraid for
courage is necessary you are not going
to die to anything by your former
limitations but they are going to die as
you move away from them for they live
only in your consciousness in this deep
or expanded consciousness you will find
yourself to be a power that you have
never dreamt of before the things
desired before you shoved off from the
shores of limitation are the fish you
were going to catch in this steep
because you have lost all consciousness
of your problems and barriers it is now
the easiest thing in the world to feel
yourself to be one with the things
desired because I am your consciousness
is the resurrection and the life you
must attach this resurrecting power that
you are to the thing desired if you
would make it appear and live in your
world
now you begin to assume the nature of
the thing desired by feeling I am
wealthy I am free I am strong when these
fields are fixed within yourself your
formless being will take upon itself the
forms of the things felt you become
crucified upon the feelings of wealth
freedom and strength - remain buried in
the stillness of these convictions then
as a thief in the night and when you
least expect it theses qualities will be
resurrected in your world as living
realities the world shall touch you and
see that you are flesh and blood for you
shall begin to bear fruit of the nature
of these qualities newly appropriated
this is the art of successful fishing
for the manifestations of life
successful realization of the thing
desired is also told us in the story of
daniel in the lion's den here it is
recorded that daniel while in the lion's
den turned his back upon the lions and
looked towards the light coming from
above that the lions remain powerless
and Daniel's faith in his God saved him
this also is your story and you too must
do as daniel did if you found yourself
in a lion's den you would have no other
concern but lions you would not be
thinking of one thing in the world but
your problem which problem would be
lions yet you are told that daniel
turned his back upon the man looked
towards the light that was his god if we
would follow the example of daniel we
would while imprisoned within the dead
of poverty of sickness take our
attention away from our problems of
debts or sickness and dwell upon the
thing we seek if we do not look back in
consciousness to our problems but
continue in faith believing ourselves to
be that which we seek we too will find
our prison walls open and the thin sort
yes whatsoever things - realized another
story is told us of the widow and the
three drops of oil
the Prophet asked the widow what have ye
in your house and she replied three
drops of oil he then said to her go
borrow vessels close the door after ye
have returned into your house and begin
to pour and she poured from three drops
of oil into all the borrowed vessels
filling them to capacity with oil
remaining you the reader are this Widow
you have not a husband to impregnate you
all make you fruitful for a widow is a
barren state your awareness is now the
Lord or the Prophet that has become your
husband follow the example of the widow
who instead of recognizing an emptiness
or nothingness recognized or something
three drops of oil then the commands to
her go within and closed the door that
is shut the door of the senses that tell
you of the empty measures the debts the
problems when you have taken your
attention away completely by shutting
out the evidence of the senses begin to
feel the joy symbolized by oiled of
having received the things desired when
the agreement is established within you
so that all doubts and fears have passed
away then you too will fill all the
empty measures of your life and ill have
an abundance running over recognition is
the power that cultures in the world
every state that you have ever
recognized you have embodied that which
you are recognizing as true of yourself
today is that which you are experiencing
so be as the widow and recognize joy no
matter how little the beginnings of
recognition and you will be generously
rewarded for the world is a magnified
mirror magnifying everything that you
are conscious of being I am the Lord the
God which has brought the out of the
land of Egypt out of the house of
bondage thou shalt have no other gods
before me
what a glorious revelation your
awareness now revealed as the LORD thy
God come awake from your
dream of being imprisoned realize that
the earth is yours and the fullness
thereof the world and all that dwells
therein you have become so enmeshed in
the belief that you are man that you
have forgotten the glorious being that
you are now with your memory restored
degree the unseen to appear and it shall
appear for all things are compelled to
respond to the voice of God your
awareness of being the world is at your
command this is the end of at your
command by neville goddard
