Speaker 1: I'm very glad that you can't tonight, for I have
a story to tell you, and the one who gave
it to me is here tonight. But I'll prepare you
for it first, for I've been teaching it for years
and years and years. We can hear it and never
apply it. While you speak night after night. We are
the after paw. It doesn't operate it since.
Speaker 2: Quite in time, her chief pl you know it.
Speaker 3: Many years ago, being of a silent thinking that nothing
was particulars my eyes says in contan, But that means
you thinking of paying one in particular thing.
Speaker 4: Can be a sur be Where my eyes let that.
Speaker 5: Size huge first, where the press shattered that into many
many pieces, I.
Speaker 4: Says at this time into the human prayer reading in
the little set. As I looked at it, I said,
be was my sense I pack looking at myself.
Speaker 3: I became very rightly w as I looked at it,
it began to glow, and then read the intensity that
I would say.
Speaker 6: That night of the sun. And then it exploded, and
then I aver in light. He was saying that I
I had rejected.
Speaker 4: With my boat.
Speaker 3: I could not believe that by myself was the pair
of the phenomena of my life.
Speaker 4: That he did it, she did it, say did it?
The world did it? But certainly I am not respective.
Speaker 7: Era happen because others are the present. And then I
am looking at the soul which the building rejected.
Speaker 2: This is mirdless thing.
Speaker 4: It's the last willing, and it's madness desire sitle bring
you actually either world as.
Speaker 7: The world of the prayer, behind which the reality.
Speaker 4: Of imagine lay defining the truth. Everything is good in
the human imagination. By that I mean the individuals imagination
in what I am the bring of heaven and the earth.
Speaker 7: And as to be heard whether the person that it
is the me in that issue which the world more
parity is but a shadow.
Speaker 3: By doing either can have said either.
Speaker 4: This argues most of the same thing.
Speaker 8: The given is the foundation, said, it is the tree
it they is it fo human It is the truth.
But the tree is beauty and fad that it has
to be contained, will come out events be a plant,
a wonderful than.
Speaker 4: That was in the beginning to time. And that because
the Great I know of no other feciality.
Speaker 7: I know other gostel than the liberty Both are y
and mind.
Speaker 4: To exercise the divine.
Speaker 2: Part of imagination.
Speaker 7: Men, as you are personal, you nor of a doctor, and.
Speaker 4: The version of that is using his gift and anything
that becomes has that we may be as he is.
But that the name is imagination, and there is man,
and that and the.
Speaker 7: Eternal man is the imagination, and that is bad inself.
Speaker 4: The that.
Speaker 2: Jesus now sat here.
Speaker 4: That air about you, your own wonderful human imagination is
the god of the unit. That is the one woken
up as the Lord Jesus. That's the one. Is it
really true? Well, we're called up the testic just and
see if it's true. I have a letter on the tonight.
I really need to read it, but I'm not gonna.
I can read it just as you will that I've
told you the contents of the letter. This general hasn't
been here in years. That's my story because the ebail
for you know who's been coming since the Ebel and
reticing is that I must tell you this story. It
may not make sense, but I must sell it, for
it's the first time that I have ever used my training.
According to the things that I've heard you say, I
am a psychologist and I wait two years trying to
talk people out of their mental problems when I could
even me have imagined them whole unhappened. Now Here is
the joy, he said. A friend of mine with me
saying that he was in many ways abnormal. She and
her husband adopted a little baby girl, and something very
saying went wrong with the child. The child was four
years old and still could not speak, and the few
words did not regardless her that it's simply not intelligible.
But in the four years talking to her there was progress.
Then one day he said to me, I do not
feel any longer that I am abnormal. So now I
say to myself, I am not abnormal. H He fight
his stain to her that that's not quite the approach,
and then get the thought, and he told me to
sell that for reasons. In my own things, I find
a home that I want, I begin to imagine that
I'm living in that home, and then doubt settling this
to re doubts. That doubt materializes into a person, and
that person has more mind than I have, and he
buys the home, leaving me out in the cold. I
know from that experience that the every person in my
world only reflects a mood in me. Everyone that I leave. Well,
I know them for a strangers who buys the home
that I wanted. When the doubt set in, the doubt
materialized into a person I just know him. But he
only reflects that mood of doubt in me. So he
has more money and he buys the home, and I
am out in the cold. So I reconstructed a sentence
for this dingy, and I said, no longer must do
say I am not abnormal. You must now begin to
say I am perfectly normal. Sad I do not feel that,
he t I do not care whether you feel it
or not. You must begin to persuade yourself that you
are perfectly normal by repeating within yourself, I am perfectly normal.
The day she began with the child, went into a
comel sort of tongue was asleep that it was difficult
to rout. She could not be awakened. She asked me
to examine the child. I said, no, take her to
a medical clinic and have them examine the child. But
as he began from his suggestions to assume I am
perfectly normal, within twenty four hours, the child a vote.
They made the test in the medical sentence, and thunder
alert and bright she was only the out picture statement
of that mother who adopted her. The mother began to feel,
I am abnormal. Cout she adopts a little child as
a girl, and the girl, for four years couldn't talk,
And when you begin, it was all gobbled. It made
no sense. She only bore witness to that same peculiar
claim of the mother who adopted us. And when he
changed the pattern of speech within us and said I
am perfectly normal, the child by the medical clinic founder
not only alert, but perfectly help me and returning to
a normal state in this world, the whole back world
is yourself pushed out. All that will behold, though it
appears without, it is within in your own wonderful human imagination,
of which this world of mortality is but a shadow.
Why I found him, I found him of whom the
prophet spoke. They spoke of Jesus, and the world is
thought to believe he is a man who lived two
thousand years ago, and who was crucified two thousand years ago.
And I am telling you he is crucified on humanity.
And the one crucified on humanity is man's own wonderful
human imagination. That's Jesus, and there is no other Jesus.
That is Jesus. He is buried in man. He is
the dreamer in man, and he is dreaming this dream
of life. What are we feeding him? Well, I'll tell
you what we're feeding, because he is capable of anything
in this world. And listened to these words from Deuteronomy,
the thirty second chapter, the thirty ninth verse of Deuteronomy.
And these are the words of the Lord. I kill,
and I make a live. I wound and I heal,
And there is nothing that can deliver out of my head.
There is only one creative power in the world. The
one who kills is the one who makes the lives.
The one who wounds is the one who heals. And
there is no other power than there's one power. And
that one power is your own wonderful human imagination, that
is God. There is no other God. He is buried, indeed,
and the day will come he will awaken within me.
When I puss. It is now like a turner from
this world of seeming reality on the outside to a
world of imagination. So you're to live in your own
wonderful human imagination. If you do, and you really turn
into a being who believes is the reality of his
own imaginal acts. You are vain on the birth of reverse.
It does not say when he tells you no one knows,
not even the sun, only the far. Don't ask me
when taking I'll tell you the signs of it when
you actually begin to trust your own wonderful human imagination,
when you can sit quietly, all alone, asking help of
no one, and really believe that your imaginal act is
a creative fact, and that, in the interval of time necessary,
it would externalize itself and become a reality in your world.
You're on the verse of reverse, as you're told. Unless
you are born again, you cannot entire the Kingdom of Heaven,
even though the Kingdom of Heaven is within you. The
Kingdom of God is within you, and God is in
his kingdom. Although He is in his kingdom, and that
kingdom is in you, you can't enter it unless you
turn from this world of materiality, believing it is the call,
believing it is the reality, to live in your own
wonderful human imagination. When you do, you'll find yourself on
the very birds of being reborn. So you're worn. Do
not ask me when I will tell you not even
the sun knows. I'll me the fall, but I'll give
you the symptoms of it. When you can trust your
own wonderful human imagination, that will be the symptom. Can
I stand here tonight and take any request doesn't cost
me anything, and it's a joy if it's within what
I call the Golden rule? Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you. Ask nothing of me
that you would not ask for yourself. Do not ask
me to hear any youth in this world that you
would not really want done to you, Because Christ Paul
I could not do it. I use the Golden rule.
Then if it comes within the framework of the Golden rule,
it's so easy. What would the feeling be like if
it would prove that you are what you want to be,
that they are what they want to be, that they
have what they want to be. Don't ask me how
it's going to happen. I do not know. The depth
of your own being has ways and means that you,
the conscious surface being, know not all. It knows exactly
how to do it, So don't ask how it would
be done. So when doubt sets in, as he said
in his letter to me, when the doubts set in.
That doubt materialized in the form of a person who
also wanted that home and had more money and bought
it and left me out in the cold. I can
tell from the uprising of moods within needs. I'm going
to meet certain people, and I do the mood. You
can suppress the mood. As Churchill says, the mood determine
the fortunes of people, rather than the fortunes determine the mood.
Don't ignore that, great man. He said that the mood
actually determines the fortunes. So I would catch a mood,
but then catch the mood of your wish fulfill What
would the feeling be like if it were true? Imagine
the wish? What would it be like? How would I
feel if it were true? In spite of all things
round about you that deny it, you walk as though
it would truth. And in a way that you do
not know, and you need not know, it will externalize
itself within your will, and you will actually receiving. Listen
to these words with God, all things are possible that
you will read in the nineteenth chapter of the Book
of Matthew. Now we'll go to the ninth chapter of
the Book of Mark. All things are possible to him
who believes. He equates God with the believer in man.
All things are possible to him who believes that Mark
Matthew with God, all things I possible. So he equates
the believer in man with God. Well, the believer in
me is my own wonderful human imagination. What other thing
in man? But in reality? Which is the imagination than believes?
Is the dreamer in man? I got a better night
than I did. The dreamer and the waking eye are
one of the same beings. Can I believe? Or am
I going to allow certain doubts? Now? He is a psychologist,
train to talk people out of their mental problems, port
them on the couch, put about the trayer, and talk
to mother, and spend years when he can easier, He
confess have imagined them whole and perfect and happy. But
he said, I believe that I was, through my training,
compelled to spend these awkward years, as anyone who works
at a job spends his time in an an awkward manner.
If you're not enjoy what you're doing, Jane, is simply
a job, and you're doing something that is to you
aw if you like it. Like my brother Victim, who
has made a fortune. The very smell of the ship,
the very smell of the boat, the smell of his store,
he loves it. He goes there in the morning, and
the odor of his store, I can't stand it. He
goes into the grocery store and everything about it, he
just loves the odor, all the combinations of the odors
of the grocery store. He goes into his department store,
all the things of the department store, that's the odor.
It affects them. He loves it. Goes to a hotel
and the rest of naturally is all in service that
affects them, and he loves it. He soul loves it.
He's in the mood of success. So fall in love
with something that really excites you. Feel that you are
already what you want to be. And I tell you,
from my own experience and from this man's experience, that
it will work. Now Here is a man who heard
me years ago. He came home one day and I thought,
now here's a man teaching people how to live correctly.
And I had two books that were completely out of print.
You can't buy them. But I thought, if I could
get them to someone doing that kind of work who
is serious. He is a trained psychologist. I'll give them
to him. So I gave them these books. I don't
think he's read them. First of all, they're named after
the mountains of Switzerland, Zermatt and Foklon. But it's all imagination.
The man who wrote it, I presume he's gone now.
He was ninety four when I last heard from him.
But I gave him these books. They were new and
completely out of print. You can't get the books. You
might find her in some secondhand but they were never
popular books because they were very walloonous books. But he
wrote them in the form of a dialogue, like a Plato.
He introduced five characters, and each one with the scientist,
one was a philosopher, one was the mystic, one with
something else, and they all discussed, and he had the
central one, who was the mystic, explaining the phenomena and
the cause of the phenomena of life. And so he
wrote these volumes and I gave them to him. I
asked him the other night, because he's here for the
second time in years, and he mentioned the way he
told me about them. I don't really think he really
read them with understanding or ready read them, because it's
told like a play would tell a story, introducing characters,
because the one person is speaking as the scientist, as
the mystic, as the philosopher, as the atheists. He had
them all present, only five characters. But this book are
completely on imagination. And it's called the Zermat Dialogues and
the Opland Dialogue. And I went down to the bookstoing
long Beach called acres of books, looking for them, and
all mister Smith is gone now. He was then in
his eighties, and I was looking all over the philosophical
department and the other departments always said you wouldn't find
them there. You will find them under Switzerland, the mountains.
He didn't know the content of the book. Go over
to the place and look on the Switzerland, and there
they were fly from my two books. And I parted
with him, and I gave him to him in the
fault that because he is a psychologist, a trained one,
that these were showing that causation is all imagination, that
imagining creates reality. What am I imagining? So they came
to him the embodied imagination, and that to what you
haven't eaten? And they were concerned because you've been left
alone and he had not eaten, and he said, I
have food you know not of And the food is
what are you feeding your imagination? Morning, noon and night.
You read the morning paper and you react, and you
don't know one character there, any of them, and you
react even before you get to the end of the page,
based upon some biased reporter. But you react. That's what
you said, the Lord. For the Lord is your own
wonderful human imagination. That's God, and there is of other gods.
That is the Jesus of Scripture, that's the Jehovah of
the Old Destaine, and he is housed in you. That's
why you are immortal. So you can drop right now now.
I tell you you will make no difference to your immortality.
Chop off your head, burn you and turn it into dust.
You are in a mortal being. You cannot cease to
be because God became as you are that you may
be as he is. And so you're going through these
with these trained peculiar diets, and we simply produce what
we think what we feed about. You can learn a
lesson from the animal world. When we were children, we
had ducks, chickens, all kinds of things that you have
in a fall. And we were a large family. There
were ten children, nine boys and one girl, and we
had a father, mother, and grandmother Paul Livy in our
hot and mother would say to us, take the two
or three ducks and put them away, because I've want
them in two weeks and we'll have a ducted us.
So you take the three ducks and you put them away.
But she meant that you would change their diet, because
when I was a boy, fish was plentiful and cheese.
You could bring in all kinds of fish. We had
no refrigeration, so if it wasn't sold in the evening
early evening, it rocked, so you can other use it
for sprained bait the next day, or you've fed the animals,
that is the ducks. So we would take the fish
while we kept them alive, and they fed on ducks
on not fish, and they got fat and they were
altogether healthy. But you couldn't eat that bird until you
took it and isolated it and put it in a
cage by itself and stuffed it with meal, corn, sour milk,
anything of that nature. And at the end of ten days,
that bird having been said ondly on say milk or
corn or anything you had of that nature. The whole
system changed, and so when you cooked it, it was
like a milk said bird. If you didn't do it,
you couldn't eat it. It's all fish, and I would know.
I can see it now in my mind's eye. My
mother said, nevill get a few ducks and put them away.
And I'm playing cricket and playing soccer. I forgot it,
but I remembered it was only about five days before.
So I took the ducks and put them away. But
five days was not enough to purge you completely of
the fish. Right, you could spell that they fall over
the neighborhood on Sunday afternoon, we're going to have dust.
And we knew we couldn't have duck because you couldn't
eat it. You look at a duck and you're eating fish,
so it repulse. Of course, we got a good spanking
for it, because we didn't do what mother commanded us
to do the time that he told us to do it. Well,
that is just like everything else in this world. You
feed that, he said, I have food, you know, not
how you feed For a few days, a couple of
weeks on a changed mental diet, in this case, in
twenty four hours when she took the diet that he
gave up, I am perfectly normal. The child went into
a deep, deep sleep from which he could not be
awakened without a struggle, and then the twinic day. But
she's not only bright, but she is healthy. He's completely right.
She was simply the outfiction statement that that girl lived
with which he said, I am abnormal in many ways.
You take a new diet tonight, and just like the duck,
and it may take your day, it may take gobi,
it may take you two bis. If you actually persist
in the change diet, you will outpict you that diet,
that change of diet, and your whole vast world will change.
We are the only beings to whom he gave speech.
He actually became man, and this inner speech is of
marvelous gift, and you can't stop it. You're doing it morning,
noon and night. You go to bed talking to yourself.
You wake in the morning talking to yourself, and whether
it's someone pleasant or not, you're still talking to yourself.
Some are obvious when they do it, but most of
us are not that obvious. But we're doing it anyway.
We're carrying on little mental conversations with ourselves. But what
are we carrying on arguments? Or are we boldly affirming
and asserting that I air and then name what I
want to be. In her case, he gave her what
she should say, and she argued with them, and she
couldn't say because I do not feel that yet, don't
wake to feel it, he said, said to her, do
it now. I am perfectly normal, because if you say
I am not abnormal yet, that's not a creative thing
toward your goal. In fact, it may be destructive. You
want something positive, not something legative. I am not abnormal.
I am perfectly normal. Damed the child the pictured self.
So everyone in your world is yourself pushed out. Blame
no one. Don't even blame yourself. Just change the diet.
They only reflect what you have been doing and may
be still doing. When you see it. You change the diet,
and the diet is something worse all within you. So
you assume that you are now the man the woman
that you want to be. Walk in that assumption as
though it were true, Live in it, just as though
it is true. And Dane, who knows that diet may
not take more than twenty four hours. I'm quite sure
it would not take more than a few weeks to
project itself in a way that you do not know.
How do you know this little duck? And I'm speaking
with an experience. I'm not telling a story that someone
told me. I was the once thank for not getting
those ducks the very day the order was given. And
mother was a kind of a disciplinarian that she always
kept her word. If you promised you a bicycle, if
she gave you a bite because you would do something,
she kept it. If you promised you are beating that
you didn't do something, she kept that too. She was
a great disciplinarian. I came back during the First World War.
I went them on a schooner to the word what
is now called the Virgin Islands. Then they were owned
by Denmark, Standa Cruz and what is not Saint Thomas
and then Saint John. We bought them during the war,
the First World War, that is, we in America bought them.
But then I was a British subject, and I went
down on a schooner to get cattle because we didn't
raise cattle in Barbados and we needed the meat, and
they had the dairy all denmark on them, so there
were dairy people bought the cattle put from a board
the ship and started back with Barbados, and we were
becand of Martinique. Martinique has a huge montinous volcano. We're
out of sight of the island, so they couldn't rescue us.
And there's no radio in those days, the possibility of
contacting the mainland. And there we are simply drifting, stopped
moving an inch in the course of a day. And
the cattle are dying. They're all dying. We were eight
days late coming into Barbados, and all the cattle are
gods from the bills and the lack of fool the
lack of water. And I thought, well, now when I
came in a home, they'll be so happy to see me,
because I thought I was gone because the submarines, the
German submarines, were shooting at everything in the area, even
a little schooner. So I came in and I came
home reading me with open arms. By that very day,
Mother said to me, I don't want you to go
out to the sun. You've had enough son on that
schooner for these many days at sea. I must have
been two weeks at sea and no possibility of any
shade burnt to a crisp. Don't go out. Well, I
had guinea pigs and I had rabbits. I had to
go and see how my guinea pigs and rabbits were
coming on. But she told me not to go. I
thiget my first day home. Certainly mother will not call
it against me. So I went out, disobeying her order.
When I came back and said that I tell you
not to go out. Yes, mother, I thought, well, now
after my first day at home, him dead till I
am resurrected. That didn't pacify her. Adults that caught that
shoe and shue wanka, and she let me had. She
was the most mildest disciplinarian. She promised you what you've
got it. If you promise you anything, you got it
during the whipping from telling you a change of diet.
And in our case we are the lord and the
Lord pieced upon words. He is the word. And so
what are you saying to yourself in the course of
twenty four hours? I a mean one, I am this,
I am that, change it completely changing and say within yourself.
I am happily blessedly marriage if that's my objective in life.
Reason denies it, Your sense is denied. I am blissfully
happy and steep as though it were true. I can
tell you that story from my own personal experience. It
works that way. And when I told the details of
how it happened, people saw the means employed which I
certainly didn't manufacture them, not consciously, and judged me harshly
for telling the means. But as you're told in scripture,
I have ways and means. You know not all my
ways the past. Finding out all you do is simply
going the new diet. For when I found the girl
to whom I've now married, I'm blissfully happy with her.
Since the day I've met her back in nineteen thirty six,
I was completely involved. I wasn't divorced, and in those
days in New York City are divorced without It only
became legal after the very very very wealthy Robfeller doctor
is outside and have brought petal the prayer on the
state to pass a decent, modest, normal modern law allowing
people who cannot live together to separate and then seek
a normal divorce Prior to that, all divorces were simply collusion.
All divorces you paid someone to find someone and then
they signed these little things. You went before the judge
and they all knew it was collusion. Anyway. Well, here
I am completely involved in marriage, and I want to
marry this girl. I met her the very first second
I saw, and that she doesn't know it because she
can be and my wife, she doesn't know it yet.
And simply I've slept as though we were blissfully happy.
She on that bed, I'm on my base. He wasn't
a sect. It was simply she was there in the
room in our lovely home, and I was in my bed.
She was on her base. So I didn't make it
an emotional thing of that nature. And the girl who
was my former wife, who refused even left the state,
those not to be given a sum. One day I
got a call from the court telling me to come
on down. They needed my advice. I went down to
the court, wondering what am I doing. Go to the
court in the morning when they brought her in and
I peeded her case before these three judges, and she
said to me, asked him, I got her all that
was a very decent thing for you to do, Neville.
And I know you want a divorce, give me the papers.
I didn't have the papers on me, and she and
I got into a taxi and rode to my hotel
and I gave her the papers. Now that's supposed to
be illegal, So I'm telling now you can't serve up
your own papers if I didn't know that, Give her
the papers, and I got my divorce in the city
of New York, so I know it works. It took
me one week to do it. That's all that it
took me. One week. I simply went sun to sleep
in the assumption that my wife will sayre and it's
the girl to whom I'm now married and who bore
us a glorious daughter. And it's been since nineteen thirty six.
So here, this heavenly state was denied me because I
wasn't feeling myself the right food. I have food, you know,
not all, and the food our words, and you repeat
them within yourself. What am I saying? As Blake said,
Oh what have I said? What have I done? All
powerful human words? What have I said? What have I done?
For all powerful human words? If men only realize what
he's doing when he's taking seemingly ironing to our of
who cares, who knows? Who knows? The only one that
cares knows, And he is your own wonderful human imagination.
That is God, that the Jehovah of the Old Testament
and the Jesus of the New and there is no
other God. And he's buried in you, and he's dreaming
in you. And sure you want to awake when you
are awake the day that you actually move in through
the lifeful imagination. For you trust your imagination and live
in it. You're not far from the threshold. But I
can't tell you the day or the hour. No one knows,
but the father, and the Father is your own wonderful
human imagination. I saw it so clearly. This is a
stone that the builders rejected. But what the bill is
rejected has become the chief cornerstone. He was the Lord's doing,
and it is marvelous in our sight. So I rejected
the fact that I was the cause of the phenomena
of my life. I couldn't believe it. I thought everyone
outside of myself called it. Then I realized, when I
saw the vision, here is a stone, a course and
it fragmented in the numberless thought. As he said, the
one who bought the home, that's a fragmented part of
my own being. My doubt brought me the being. He
materialized my doubt a man, a person, and he bought
the home I wanted because he had more money. I
materialized that. He came out of me. So the whole
thing fragmented. And then when it came together and formed
itself into a man seated in the loads, and I
look at it, I'm looking at myself that I realize
I am the cause he is the dreamer in me.
One day he is going to awake from this dream,
and when he awake, I am key, and he and
I are one. This is the story I am trying
to tell the whole vast word because I know it's true.
And the day will come you will know it's true.
There is no other God than your own wonderful human imagination.
I still will invite you, although I've told you to
do it yourself, I still invite you, if you feel
uneasy about it, to ask of me. For in the end,
may I tell you we are one. Now that it's
go into the talent good. So on Friday. I'm going
to show you the parallels between David of the Old
Testament and Christ of the News. I know, trained as
we are, it is the most difficult thing to separate
our preconceived opinions from what we're actually looking at. So
