1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: Will be here every Monday and Friday through April, same place, 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,880 same time. I think you will find tonight a very 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:15,320 practical message. But to understand it we must go back 4 00:00:17,719 --> 00:00:23,960 and see if you really believe the same thing. I 5 00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:28,039 make the claim that the eternal body of man is 6 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:35,880 the imagination, and that is God himself, the one we 7 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:43,320 speak of in Scripture as Jesus Christ. Now we are 8 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,520 told in Scripture to examine ourselves to see whether we 9 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:56,280 are holding to the faith test yourselves, said, Paul, do 10 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,920 you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you, unless, 11 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,879 of course, you fail to meet the tests. Now you've 12 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,079 just had the test, and you and you alone can 13 00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:13,319 judge whether you've failed or not. For you heard the 14 00:01:13,359 --> 00:01:20,519 word Jesus Christ. You heard the word God. Now if 15 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:26,680 it conveyed the sense I would existence something outside of man, 16 00:01:27,599 --> 00:01:32,040 you fail the test. If when you hear the word God, 17 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,120 or the word Jesus, or the word Christ, the word Lord, 18 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,200 and the mind jumps to something outside of you, outside 19 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,000 of man, you fail the test. Now we are told 20 00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:50,879 by Him all things were made, and without him was 21 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:57,319 not anything made that was made. And that I tell 22 00:01:57,359 --> 00:02:03,200 you is your own wonderful human in what is now 23 00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:09,400 proved in the world was one's only imagined. But this 24 00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:13,280 is the greatest of all secrets, the secret of imagining 25 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,199 something that you and I in every one in the 26 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:24,039 world should strive to understand. For the secret of imagining 27 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,240 is the greatest of all problems, to the solution of 28 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:35,960 which everyone should aspire or supreme power, supreme wisdom, supreme 29 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:44,080 delight lies in the solution of this mystery. When you 30 00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:48,879 actually discover it, you discover God. You're finding the creative 31 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,360 power of the universe. And when you're finding He is 32 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,520 your own wonderful human imagination. You can only rarely scratch 33 00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:08,520 the surface of this, mister one, imagination, it seems, will 34 00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:14,599 do little for our wish until we have imagined the 35 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:22,080 wish fulfilled. As Shakespeare said, it hath been taught us 36 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:28,000 from the primal state, that that which is was wished 37 00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:35,159 until it were So. You and I want something, and 38 00:03:35,199 --> 00:03:40,560 we define our objective how to realize it. If this 39 00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:43,759 power is within us, then we are the opera and power. 40 00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:48,319 We do not seek anyone on the outside. It's simply 41 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,960 within us. Well, how do I operating? If I could 42 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:58,680 put it in this simple little frame, The subjective appropriation 43 00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:04,280 of the objective hope is the way to success. It's 44 00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:09,919 imagining as if it were true. What would the feeling 45 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,759 be like if it were true. So I start from 46 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:19,399 the feeling of the wish fulfill I must begin by 47 00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:25,759 feeling that I have already arrived, I have already achieved 48 00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:30,040 my goal. And catch the mood that would be mine 49 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,839 if it were true, and then wear that mood. If 50 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,519 I wear that mood as if it were true, I 51 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,240 realized that in my world a friend of mine was 52 00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:51,199 her tonight she thought that she had failed. This passed 53 00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:58,800 November in her visit to Poughkeepsie fitz Pittsburgh, friends of 54 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,519 hers that she knew where, and they were a little 55 00:05:01,519 --> 00:05:08,160 bit dull because of the seeming recession. One Trend had 56 00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:12,720 worked for twenty seven years at Jones and Lachlan, one 57 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,199 of the great big steel firms of our country. In 58 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:22,160 the months of September and October they let out four 59 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:27,160 thousand workers. He had to put in three more years 60 00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:29,920 three years and two months to complete a thirty year 61 00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:35,480 service with the firm. After thirty years, he could retire 62 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,399 of very good I would say retirement fun. But he 63 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,959 also had six more years ago for his social security, 64 00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:48,920 and then at out four thousand and then it was 65 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,839 rumored in the plant that they're going to close that plant. 66 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,920 She reminded him of the youth of imagination, which he 67 00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:03,759 had used with him successfully in her previous visit to Pittsburgh, 68 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,439 but he left it off. Those things would have happened anyway. 69 00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:15,319 She reminded him of six distinct request on his spot 70 00:06:16,879 --> 00:06:20,920 that he thought he could not realize. Everyone came to 71 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,959 pass as she reminded him, and then she took a 72 00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:29,639 vision of mine and explained it to him. She said, 73 00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:34,639 what I told you the last time, never had a vision. Well, 74 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,319 the Bible tells us that the depths of our own 75 00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:41,199 beings speaks to us through the medium of dreams and viition. 76 00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:46,519 So here in this dream of mind for the dream, 77 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,399 if you will, it was just as real as this. 78 00:06:50,079 --> 00:06:56,000 I was taken in spirit into an enormous mansion, and 79 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:02,759 here three generations were present. But why was invisible? And 80 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:08,120 that was the grandfather. The father was explaining to his 81 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:14,040 children the secret of his own father's success. So there 82 00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:18,600 was the grandfather that departed from the world, leading behind 83 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,000 him an enormous fortune for the benefit of his son, 84 00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:26,319 and then his grandchildren, And so the father said to 85 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,600 the children. Grandfather used to say, while standing on an 86 00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:37,240 empty lot, I remember when this was an empty lot. 87 00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:43,079 Then he would paint a word picture so vividly of 88 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,319 what he intended to do with that empty lot that 89 00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:49,160 it ceased to be an empty lot. And you saw 90 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:55,000 the structure that he intended to biddle. But he acted 91 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,680 as though it was already a completed act. He began 92 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,800 with the feeling of having arrived at his ideal for 93 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:11,279 that empty lot. Then I awoke on my bed, and 94 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,639 I recall the dream, and I knew that the depth 95 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,759 of my own being had constructed that scene to instruct me. 96 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,879 There is one facet of the great use of this 97 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,920 power called imagination, which is God. It was too early 98 00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:34,080 to rise, so I went back to sleep, and I 99 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:41,919 redreamed the dream. This time I am the grandfather. I 100 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,440 am not the father telling the story. I am not 101 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,080 an eavesdropper listening to the story as it was told 102 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:54,919 in the original dream. I am now the grandfather, and 103 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,200 I would say to everyone, by standing on an empty lot, 104 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:04,840 I remember when this was an empty lot. So she 105 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,399 reminded him of this technique. Now she said, you are 106 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,279 afraid that you might be let out. After twenty seven 107 00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:19,639 years and two months in Jones and Loughlin, I will 108 00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:27,759 now remember when you were afraid. I will remember when 109 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:34,200 you thought it all came to an end. That's one 110 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,320 he said. Two years ago, I was interviewed, and I 111 00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:42,080 thought it a very good interview. But after two years 112 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,679 it is never a player in the trade paper, and 113 00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:47,759 I wondered, what have they done with it? Have they 114 00:09:47,799 --> 00:09:52,480 simply forgotten it, mislaid it, or deliberately not used it? 115 00:09:53,639 --> 00:09:58,039 She said, I will read that magazine and I'll be 116 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,279 lifted up by it. It's hereously written, as you tell me. Well, 117 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,679 I will take that book right now in my hand 118 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,440 at magazine and I will read it all about you. 119 00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:13,480 She went into two or three others. Then she returns. 120 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,360 Now she's here to night, he said. In December, I 121 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:24,399 received the magazine. It's very well written and very very humorous, 122 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:31,840 all about this man. Then she said, I heard on 123 00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:36,200 the radio that Jones and Rockman had decided not to 124 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,679 close the plant but instead to spend thirteen million dollars 125 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,360 on the planet in modernizing and then, beginning January, the 126 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:52,840 first to with Paul to recall over four thousand workers 127 00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:57,919 that they had let out. Now he is walking on air, 128 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,360 but like all of these dollars, he will still forget it. 129 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,399 You still turned to a god outside of himself. This 130 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,799 to him would have happened anyway. There would have spink 131 00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:16,919 that thirteen million got back the four thousand, that thing 132 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,120 that was found after two years, and printed, Oh, that 133 00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:24,320 would have happened. And man goes blindly on worshiping a 134 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:30,279 false God because he does not know God. The only 135 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,759 God is your own wonderful human imagination. The only name 136 00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:40,639 forever and forever that is his name is I Am. 137 00:11:40,919 --> 00:11:44,799 So that is my name forever. So when you come 138 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,440 to the people of Israel and they ask you what 139 00:11:47,799 --> 00:11:53,440 is his name, justin't be saying I Am. That is 140 00:11:53,519 --> 00:11:56,960 who I am, and by this name I shall be 141 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:02,600 known throughout all generations. There is no other name. You 142 00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:07,279 cannot separate I AM from yourself. That's your essential being. 143 00:12:08,159 --> 00:12:12,120 And when you say I am your all imagination. You 144 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,600 cannot stick imagination on the outside and point to it. 145 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,559 So you do not observe it as you observe the 146 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,320 fruit of imagining. You do not observe imagination as you 147 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,080 do objects in space because you are the reality that 148 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:35,240 is called imagination. This is what we teach here night 149 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:40,320 after night. Now you contest it. What would the feeling 150 00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:44,039 be like if it were true that I am now 151 00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:46,679 the man that I would like to be. What would 152 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,200 the feeling be like? That's the mood, for the mood 153 00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:54,679 determines the fortunes of people. Rather than the fortunes determine 154 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,279 the mood and put to just the opposite. If I 155 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,039 had a million, he said, I will feel so good. 156 00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:07,960 Now see it as if you had it. Catch the mood, 157 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,240 and the mood will create that objective hope. If that 158 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,440 is your hope, What would the feeling be like if 159 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,399 you are now the person you want to be? And 160 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,720 catch that mood and wear that mood as you would 161 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,600 have stood of clothes, and that mood will actually create 162 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:32,720 an objective state that reflects that mood. That's what she did. 163 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,080 She put herself into a mood, actually feeling that you 164 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,320 was reading a story of a friend, and here it 165 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,320 came is a complete spread, two full pages all about 166 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:50,159 this man, and then a little news bulletin on the radio, 167 00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:54,720 and then confirmation from him on a telephone call from 168 00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:59,480 his wife confirming the news bulletin that they're all back 169 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,480 on the I'm here now, as he said for years. 170 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,799 After twenty seven years, I walked through that plant, I 171 00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:10,240 thought I'll go crazy. I wanted to climb the wall 172 00:14:10,279 --> 00:14:15,120 because of the noise. But I heard the hammers and 173 00:14:15,159 --> 00:14:19,000 the bellows and the furnaces and all these thousands of 174 00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:25,919 workmen that constant, constant, din. I want to climb the wall. Now, 175 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,039 after four thousand were let out, my footsteps echoes through 176 00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:35,240 the entire area. I would like to run and scream, 177 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,960 running towards my office. What he does in the plant, 178 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,240 I do not know if he goes towards his office, 179 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,799 And doubt he has an executive position in that place, 180 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,279 and it's not working at the furnaces. But so you 181 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,080 can't imagine, and four thousand were let out, how empty 182 00:14:53,159 --> 00:14:57,080 the place was, and everything simply echoed, and my footsteps 183 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,200 seemed like some hundred things as I walked through that 184 00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:04,399 plant towards my aupue, and many a moment I wanted 185 00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:07,759 the simply jump up and start running. It seems so empty. 186 00:15:08,159 --> 00:15:10,639 She says, all right, that's something I will remember when 187 00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:17,399 and she applied that technique when your footsteps scared you 188 00:15:17,879 --> 00:15:21,720 and you wanted to run towards the office. Now it's 189 00:15:21,759 --> 00:15:25,679 the clackap all over again. So I tell you I 190 00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:29,919 know from my own experience that these moods you catch 191 00:15:29,919 --> 00:15:33,159 a mood. I could tell from the mood that possessed 192 00:15:33,159 --> 00:15:35,840 me through the day that I would meet a certain character. 193 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,440 And I met that character. It may be someone I 194 00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:42,879 knew or some total stranger, but I could tell from 195 00:15:42,879 --> 00:15:45,799 the very mood that possessed me, I am drawing into 196 00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:50,360 my world an affinity with that mood. You can catch 197 00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:53,279 a mood and create the world that is in harm 198 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,480 me with the mood. Anyone can do it. In fact, 199 00:15:57,519 --> 00:16:01,399 you're doing it morning, noon and night anyway. So when 200 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,960 you turn to some external god, you are turning to 201 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:10,799 a false god. There is no external god. Examine yourselves, 202 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,480 said Paul the Seaweller. You are holding to your faith 203 00:16:15,879 --> 00:16:20,519 tests yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is 204 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,600 in you, unless indeed you fail to meet the tests. 205 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,919 You've just had the tests. So if you think of 206 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,559 some being on the outside, but I use the word 207 00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:35,200 Jesus Christ, you have the wrong Jesus Christ. Or we're 208 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,799 told by him all things were made, and without him 209 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,320 was not anything made that is made. Look into the room. 210 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,600 All this was once only imagined. That suit you wear, 211 00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:49,720 the dresses you wear, the hat you wear. Everything here 212 00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:53,840 the building is once only conceived in the human imagination 213 00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:59,639 and then executing. And if all things were made by him, 214 00:17:00,039 --> 00:17:01,919 well did I first come down to find out who 215 00:17:01,919 --> 00:17:05,599 he is? I can't go beyond my own imagination. I 216 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,960 exactly what I imagine. I see the results, So I 217 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,160 go back All things made by him? Yes, good, bad, 218 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:18,559 and indifferent. He waits on me just as quickly and 219 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,319 just as indifferently when the will in me is evil 220 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,960 as when it is good. Is that in scripture? You'll 221 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,200 find it inscription. Read it in the Book of Deuteronomy. 222 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:37,559 I call I make a lie, I wound, I heal, 223 00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:44,079 and none can deliver out of my hands. I I 224 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:49,000 am the Lord. Read it. See that in the thirty 225 00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:52,559 second chapter of the Book of Deuteronomy. There is no 226 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,440 other God. I am the Lord, your God, And besides me, 227 00:17:56,519 --> 00:18:01,759 there is no other God. I am is that God. 228 00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:05,000 And if you're told he the forty six song, be 229 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:11,839 still and know that I am God. A man who 230 00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:14,839 will not believe it. And yet he has evidence morey, 231 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,279 noon and night that his own wonderful creative power, which 232 00:18:18,319 --> 00:18:22,160 is his own wonderful human imagination, is producing the phenomena 233 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,400 of life. He sees it all around him, but he 234 00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:30,519 shuns it away. It's easier for him to genuine likely 235 00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:34,279 for some little thing made by the human hand. So 236 00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:36,559 he put him on the wall and cross himself for luck. 237 00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:40,680 I think, oh, that's it, that's good. Now've done my 238 00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:44,160 duty today. So he goes to church and he sings 239 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,279 the hymns with all the others. And if he's not 240 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,720 done my duty and give generousy to the church perfectly, 241 00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:51,519 all right. If you get any pressure out of it, 242 00:18:51,759 --> 00:18:55,559 do it. But that's not serving the true God. If 243 00:18:55,559 --> 00:18:59,200 you want a social gathering, certainly go to church, go 244 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,519 to the coffee break following the service, and as one 245 00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:05,559 percent of those who come out of service, what was 246 00:19:05,599 --> 00:19:09,319 the text today? And he will look at you with 247 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:14,119 some breaker, Look what what was the text? What did 248 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,000 he say? What was the theme of his subject? Today? 249 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,799 They don't know. But it's a place to go on 250 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:26,000 certain days of the year, especially on Christmas, on Eastern 251 00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:29,400 and days of that nature. Others make it an appointed 252 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,200 go once a week. The thing they're doing God a favor. 253 00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:37,000 You're walking with God morning, noon and night. You're taking 254 00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:40,440 to bate with you because You're essential being is God, 255 00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:45,319 and there is no other God. Were He not within you, you 256 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:51,720 couldn't even breathe. Your breath is God. Every child, God 257 00:19:51,839 --> 00:19:56,359 or woman is God incarnate. If men only knew that, 258 00:19:56,519 --> 00:19:59,640 there could be no war in the world. Killing man 259 00:19:59,799 --> 00:20:04,240 is killing God. For every child born a woman is 260 00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:09,359 the incarnation of God. Whether you be black, yellow, pink, white, 261 00:20:09,759 --> 00:20:12,240 or any other car there is no other being in 262 00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:17,359 this world but God. So the incarnation takes place every 263 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,079 time a little child is born, and it wreathes and 264 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,039 you spank it to get it to cry. That moment 265 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,400 was the incarnation of God. How can you kill him? 266 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,000 How can you heard it? Just teach him and show 267 00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:34,599 him what power is latent within him. For the whole 268 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,839 vast world aches for the awakening of the imagination in man. 269 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,680 And the story has told us in scripture is a 270 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:48,000 true story, but not as it stole. The day will 271 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,240 come you'll actually find yourself reenact the entire drama as 272 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,200 told us in the Gospel, and you will know it 273 00:20:57,279 --> 00:21:03,079 in the first person. Thinking of intense experience, and then 274 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,480 you'll know who he is. He comes to us as 275 00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:13,720 one unknown, yet one who in the most wonderful, mysterious manner, 276 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:19,400 lets man experience who he is. And when you experienced 277 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,160 who he is, it's all about you. It's not about another. 278 00:21:24,519 --> 00:21:28,319 The whole vast drama is all about the individual that 279 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,799 you see as a little child right in this wonderful 280 00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:35,599 world of our us. But here tonight, let us keep 281 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,200 it on this level, and on this level tonight, when 282 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,960 you dream of some wonderful objective is this world that 283 00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:47,400 is not yet realized, realize who the dreamer is. And 284 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,119 the dreamer is God. And by a dreamer, I'm in 285 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,000 your own wonderful imagination. Now a day dream. That's God. 286 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,119 That's God in action. Now, do not let your reason 287 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,920 and your senses dictate what is possible. All things are 288 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:08,559 possible to God. So suspain for a moment your reason. 289 00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:12,680 Suspain the senses that are dictating what you must accept 290 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,279 for their demanding of you. Accept the facts of life, 291 00:22:17,559 --> 00:22:20,559 all right. If you could accept the facts of life 292 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,960 and let reason dictate it, you'll never go beyond where 293 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,000 you are. So suspain them, just for a moment, and 294 00:22:28,079 --> 00:22:32,079 try this tecontyque. What would the feeling be like? How 295 00:22:32,079 --> 00:22:35,359 would I feel if they were true that I am 296 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,880 already the man that I would like to be? And 297 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,200 if I am, how would I see my friends? And 298 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,880 how would they see me? It's all within us. So 299 00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:48,799 let my wonderful human imagination see them as they would 300 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,960 have to see me if it were true. Bring into 301 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,960 my mind's eye and let them see me, and let 302 00:22:56,039 --> 00:22:59,200 them talk to me, and let them congratulate me on 303 00:22:59,279 --> 00:23:03,400 my good fortue. And don't duck accept the congratulations of 304 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,720 your friends if you really mean it, actually play the 305 00:23:08,759 --> 00:23:14,000 part all within yourself, and then believe it one hundred 306 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,119 as if we are told in John's letter the fifth 307 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:24,240 chapter of his Purse Epistle, if we believe that he 308 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:30,079 hears this is all that we ask of him, then 309 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:37,720 we know that we have obtained the request made of him. 310 00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:39,960 What if you get the right guard, you have no 311 00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:42,200 doubts in your mind as to whether he heard you 312 00:23:42,319 --> 00:23:44,880 or not, for you know you heard it, and that's God. 313 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,960 But if you're not quite sure that he heard it, 314 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,880 because there are three billions talking to him baking, well, 315 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,480 then you may be not quite sure that he heard 316 00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:57,599 you and you don't think you're good enough, But you 317 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,960 can't deny that. You hear your own mind, You hear 318 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,839 your own inner conversation, you hear your own inner speech. Well, 319 00:24:04,839 --> 00:24:07,240 if you know that one is God, whether you are 320 00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:10,519 sure he hurts you, now you are told in that 321 00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:14,759 fifth chapter, the fifteenth verse, our first epistle of God. 322 00:24:16,039 --> 00:24:19,960 If we know that he hears us in all that 323 00:24:20,039 --> 00:24:23,920 we ask of him, then we know that we have 324 00:24:24,039 --> 00:24:28,279 already obtained the request made of him. Well, all right, 325 00:24:28,519 --> 00:24:33,279 there's an interval between that imaginal act and its fulfillment, 326 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,279 as there is between the creative act of a man 327 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,519 and the birth of that child. Every little thing has 328 00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:44,960 an interval of time between the act and its fulfillment. 329 00:24:46,079 --> 00:24:51,680 A horse will take twelve months, a woman takes nine months, 330 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:57,039 the little sheep will take five months. A chicken will 331 00:24:57,079 --> 00:25:02,440 take twenty one days. Intervals of time, so the Bible teaches, 332 00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:06,960 every vision has its own appointed hour. It ripens, it 333 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:12,000 will flower. If it be late, then wait for it 334 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:17,400 is sure, and it will not be late. Different intervals 335 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,599 of time, So it may take me a longer time 336 00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:25,400 in this case, with this man two months to bring 337 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:32,039 back four thousands who were unemployed, to put his mind 338 00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:34,880 at rest that he doesn't have now to feel that 339 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,880 he's going to be fired. He's going to put in 340 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,920 out the extra time only a little while. Three years 341 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,680 and two months will complete his thirty years with Jones 342 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,960 and Laughlin, and then once a man of his age, 343 00:25:50,039 --> 00:25:54,160 six more years and then social Security, so he'll have both. 344 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,039 If it happened now, he wouldn't have it. He will 345 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,920 be cut on social Security and he would be let 346 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:06,519 out without a good retirement fun. So she goes back 347 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,160 and she reminds him that it happened before. She couldn't 348 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,880 afford the roof for the house, and she said, I 349 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,519 will see the roof on the house. I remember when 350 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,000 it needed a root, And so she simply remembered. She 351 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,240 told him, I recalled telling you. I remember Wayne, he 352 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,319 needed it. But soon after something happened in his work. 353 00:26:27,839 --> 00:26:30,920 He got the money and the roof is on. The 354 00:26:31,039 --> 00:26:34,680 wife wanted an organ. Couldn't afford the organ, all right, 355 00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:37,759 She said, I remember when you didn't have one. She 356 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,000 has the organ, and she took one after the other. 357 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,680 Of all these things, he's still with all the evidence 358 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,240 in the world, he's still working on some outside God 359 00:26:50,039 --> 00:26:53,519 he thinks he's doing the wrong thing. He feels that 360 00:26:53,559 --> 00:26:57,359 if per chance that man is simply a devil incarnate, 361 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,799 and he's taken me from my real guard, which means 362 00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:03,519 something external to himself, that he fashions out of his 363 00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:06,720 own mind and fashions with his hand to get all 364 00:27:06,759 --> 00:27:09,839 these little nonsenses that you buy and stick them up 365 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,119 as holy objects. First of all, no artists really ever 366 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,480 designed them, they said, a sense to speak of an 367 00:27:17,599 --> 00:27:22,400 artist when you see these horrible monstosophies that we buy 368 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:27,400 and stick around the place and call them religious objects. 369 00:27:28,319 --> 00:27:31,079 So find who he is. He is the living God. 370 00:27:31,079 --> 00:27:35,119 He is a dead god. You want to find me 371 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,200 The one hundred and fifteenth Psalm about the kind of 372 00:27:39,319 --> 00:27:44,680 gods that main worship. The whole psalm is devoted to 373 00:27:44,839 --> 00:27:48,559 the false God that the whole vast world worships. He 374 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,359 had eyes, but he sees, not Anthony, hears, not he 375 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:58,000 any walks, not Anthony, touches not just a dead thing 376 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,480 made by human hands. When the living God is within 377 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:07,000 man as his own wonderful human imagination. So I tell 378 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,200 you that all that you behold, though it appairs without, it, 379 00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:16,039 is within in your own wonderful human imagination, of which 380 00:28:16,079 --> 00:28:21,240 this world of mortality is but a shadow. All things 381 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,720 exist in the human imagination, and everything you see as 382 00:28:25,759 --> 00:28:32,079 an objective reality was produced by imagining. Think of one thing, 383 00:28:32,519 --> 00:28:35,799 just think of one thing that would simply deny it. 384 00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:39,200 You can't think of one thing, So you go to 385 00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:43,240 the moon. You first had to imagine it, had to 386 00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:47,200 imagine everything concerning the machine that took you to the moon. 387 00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:51,839 Everything in the world first has to be imagined. And 388 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,079 then execute it. All right, the intelligence that do it 389 00:28:55,119 --> 00:28:58,319 will come, But you take the glop in first and 390 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,279 conceive it and dwelling it as though it were true, 391 00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:06,400 and no power on earth can stop it from becoming self. 392 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,920 Your visions will clarify itself. At night. It's a different 393 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,279 kind of a night. Your days are different. You see 394 00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:18,839 people differently. You can't walk by any man and not 395 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,519 seeing God incarnate can't do it. Even if he has 396 00:29:23,559 --> 00:29:28,559 the most horrible background, and he said simply, well a murderer, 397 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,599 and it's proven that he is. You still see God incarnate. 398 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,920 But so some desleep the poor thing doesn't know it. 399 00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:39,440 Can only just get to it and show him that 400 00:29:39,519 --> 00:29:43,200 he really is God incarnate and the one he thought 401 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,279 he killed. He's been restored to life, not to the 402 00:29:47,319 --> 00:29:50,359 saints of men, but he is restored in a world 403 00:29:50,559 --> 00:29:55,039 just like this, to restore just like this about his business. 404 00:29:55,079 --> 00:29:59,400 He continues his words until he too awakens from this 405 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,559 dream of life. We all will awaken eventually, But why 406 00:30:04,599 --> 00:30:08,640 not start now, Start now to tell man who he 407 00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:14,640 really is. God and man are one. Man is all imagination, 408 00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:18,960 and God is mad and exists in us and we 409 00:30:19,079 --> 00:30:23,000 in him. The eternal body of man is the imagination 410 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:30,039 that is God himself, nothing but God in the universe, 411 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,359 all God. And eventually you and I will awake Because 412 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,359 God is one, not two. You and I are one 413 00:30:40,119 --> 00:30:44,079 without loss of identity. That's one of the faintest misfeas 414 00:30:44,119 --> 00:30:50,559 in the world. Without loss of identity. We are one. 415 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,400 I know that from my own personal experience. We are one. 416 00:30:55,519 --> 00:31:00,160 And yet I am individualized and you are individualized, and 417 00:31:00,279 --> 00:31:05,599 retain forever and forever toward over greater and greater individualization. 418 00:31:06,119 --> 00:31:10,200 And yet we are one. And I will bring that 419 00:31:10,319 --> 00:31:15,799 out to the best viability as we seed with these 420 00:31:15,839 --> 00:31:23,400 sective you will hear it. But tonight, if you're here 421 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,559 for the first time and you want something practical. You 422 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:32,880 apply what I've told you. First, have an objective. You 423 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,920 must have an objective. You can't say, well I don't 424 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,240 know what I want? Well, all right, come back the 425 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:44,440 next time. Ask yourself what would I like of life? 426 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,799 Don't be ashamed to name it? What would I like 427 00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:53,400 of life? Well, then finally get some objective. Now, prayer, 428 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,279 As far as I'm concerned, is nothing more than the 429 00:31:56,359 --> 00:32:01,319 subjective appropriation of the objective. Hope that is the way 430 00:32:01,359 --> 00:32:05,880 to success. I appropriate it subjectively. How do I appropriate 431 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,119 a state subjectively? But I suppose now at this very moment, 432 00:32:11,799 --> 00:32:16,440 I wanted a ball, an ordinary baseball. But there isn't 433 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,960 a baseball in the room, all right, but I want one. 434 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,920 I would actually assume that I am holding a baseball 435 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,640 in my hand until I could feel it. You think 436 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:32,319 you can't feel it while out fly it. Try to 437 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,400 feel what it would be like if you held a baseball. 438 00:32:36,759 --> 00:32:40,279 Now to prove that you have held it, See what 439 00:32:40,319 --> 00:32:44,640 it feels like. The difference now a tennis ball, skinny difference, 440 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:52,279 or write a golf ball, shiny difference, a piece of silk? 441 00:32:52,839 --> 00:32:56,079 You feel any difference if you can distinguish between these 442 00:32:56,079 --> 00:32:59,759 many objects, though they are subjective, then there must exist 443 00:32:59,799 --> 00:33:03,480 some where. If you could actually separate them in your 444 00:33:03,519 --> 00:33:08,119 mind's eye and distinguish between these objicts, I can begin 445 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:14,119 to feel, begin to sense, begin to smell. A rose, Well, 446 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,799 a rose doesn't smell or doesn't actually have the odor 447 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:23,240 of another flower. I can detect the rose. Now a lily, 448 00:33:23,559 --> 00:33:28,200 an easter lily, I can detect that. But what does 449 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:33,200 it do. Well, I'm going to get them shown. One 450 00:33:33,279 --> 00:33:36,240 must be of Nevil and send him a flower, and 451 00:33:36,319 --> 00:33:38,440 let's go be the flower. If I'm going to actually 452 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:45,200 feel and touch and smell, it works that way. Money 453 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,119 has an odor. It's unlike any other of the world. 454 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:53,119 Is more fragrant to the miser than the most marvelous 455 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,200 perfume in the world. He can tell it. You put 456 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,240 the money back to his pace, and it's like putting 457 00:33:59,319 --> 00:34:03,880 roses to my He loved it. He can smell, money 458 00:34:04,599 --> 00:34:07,119 can feel it. Money has a distinct feel about it. 459 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,559 Put a twenty dollars bill in your hand and ask 460 00:34:10,599 --> 00:34:12,679 you to feel it, and then put another piece of 461 00:34:12,679 --> 00:34:14,440 paper in your hand, and you can tell the difference. 462 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,719 That's the difference. It is an odor to it all. 463 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,960 This is part of the inner man that all things 464 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,320 are possible to him. Try it before you condemn it. 465 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,079 Try it unless you have the evidence of support my claim. 466 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,280 But then it doesn't matter what the world will tell 467 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,599 you if he laughs at you. So what so the 468 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,239 last of everyone who had an idea that seemed a 469 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,480 little bit off center always that at him. The last 470 00:34:44,519 --> 00:34:46,159 of the idea of going to the moon. Well, now 471 00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:50,159 it's an accomplished fact. There's still those who won't believe 472 00:34:50,159 --> 00:34:52,920 it happened, you know, because they don't want to believe 473 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,440 it ever happened to those who said you couldn't go 474 00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:01,960 down and actually live underwater, and we have a there 475 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,280 are still those who won't believe it. You can present 476 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,679 them with all the facts in the world and they 477 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,679 won't believe it. So I tell you you try it first, 478 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,199 and that to prove itself in performance. It doesn't really 479 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,639 matter what the whole bad world takes. Go about your 480 00:35:18,639 --> 00:35:22,599 father's business, visuons yourself, and then live a full and 481 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,280 wonderful life in this world of Caesar. And the day 482 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:31,039 will come you will actually depart this world. I mean 483 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,079 this age because those who are departing it now, unless 484 00:35:35,119 --> 00:35:38,440 they are awakened, they still find themselves in a world 485 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,000 just like this. But those who have awakened, who have 486 00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:46,280 experienced the second birth to burst them about, find themselves 487 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:52,199 in an entirely different age where they're all imagination and 488 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:57,199 they are perfect. Wherever they go, everything is perfect. They 489 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,800 don't have to raise a finger to make anything perfect 490 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,639 because they're perfect. All things must conformed to them for 491 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:09,679 their perfect that's heaven. So heaven is not an area, 492 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,079 it's not a realm. It's a body. And when that 493 00:36:13,159 --> 00:36:16,760 body is awakened within you, which is the wonderful human imagination, 494 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:21,199 completely awake, then wherever you go, clothed in that body 495 00:36:21,199 --> 00:36:24,960 that is completely awake, everything is perfect. If you found 496 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:31,280 yourself in a forest of dead trees that all burst 497 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,159 into foliage in the desert, it would all bloom like 498 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:42,639 the rose because you are there. No blind man, deaf man, 499 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,199 no handicapped man could stand in your presence. You'd be 500 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:50,360 instantly transformed into a perfect man because you are perfect. 501 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,119 Death heaven it's harmony. So it's not a place where 502 00:36:55,119 --> 00:36:58,440 you're going to go through these streets and all that nonsense. No, 503 00:36:59,559 --> 00:37:03,039 it simply you in a world that is perfect because 504 00:37:03,079 --> 00:37:06,280 you are perfect, and the day will come. You will 505 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,960 awaken that body, for itinin you. Now that body is 506 00:37:10,119 --> 00:37:14,639 in you, but it's sun asleep. One day you will 507 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,840 experience the resurrection. And you know the mystery of the 508 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:26,599 resurrection when you rise, and you rise within yourself. For 509 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,639 the grave in which Christ is varied, if the Lord 510 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,079 is veried, is your own SCLM. That's where he is buried, 511 00:37:35,679 --> 00:37:38,519 and in that tomb where he is very One day 512 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,880 he will awake and he will come out of that tomb, 513 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,719 and it's you who comes out of the two, and 514 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:50,440 you'll know who you are. He is buried in every 515 00:37:50,639 --> 00:37:56,360 child in the world, this universal being, and yet one 516 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:02,719 billions dovas, and yet only one Lord, that one Lord, 517 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,079 in his fullness, is buried in you individually. And when 518 00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:13,400 you awaken, you are here. Go tonight. Take a goal. 519 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,679 Make it a lovely girl, either for yourself or for another. 520 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,639 Anytime that you exercise your imagination lovingly on behalf of another, 521 00:38:23,199 --> 00:38:27,440 you're mediating God to that other. So bring a friend 522 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,320 before your mind's eye, representing to yourself as the man 523 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:32,800 or the woman that you will like them to be. 524 00:38:34,199 --> 00:38:39,280 And don't tell them as for no praise. Just assume 525 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,159 that they're talking to you and telling you the most 526 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,079 marvelous views about themselves, and you congratulate them on that 527 00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:51,480 good news and go your own way. Believe in the 528 00:38:51,519 --> 00:38:56,719 reality of that imaginal act. It may happen tomorrow, it 529 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,360 may happen a day after, or a week later or 530 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,760 a month later. It has its own appointed hour, and 531 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,480 it is rightening and it's wont to flower, So don't 532 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:10,400 be concerned. Leave it alone, and it will come to pass. 533 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,920 So this is what I mean by feeling is the 534 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,840 secret I catch the mood, the feeling that will be 535 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:26,079 mine if I were what I want to be. I 536 00:39:26,119 --> 00:39:28,400 don't have to touch something I can if I want to. 537 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,159 But it's the move I'm speaking of. What would the 538 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:36,159 feeling be like if she were well? If she were this? 539 00:39:37,159 --> 00:39:40,519 And then you catch it? Just as though it is true, 540 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,639 you always go to the end, and the end is 541 00:39:43,639 --> 00:39:48,880 where you begin. You're always imagining ahead of our evidence. 542 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:53,159 So go to the end and feel the end, and 543 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,639 then well in that end, even though reason denies it, 544 00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:01,039 and your senses denial, you turn your back upon the doubts. 545 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,119 That is your senses and what reason dictates. That's the 546 00:40:05,199 --> 00:40:08,400 hell or the devil or satan in the world. That's 547 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,559 the doubta. So you turn your back upon it, and 548 00:40:11,599 --> 00:40:13,920 then you walk as though things were as you wantn't 549 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:18,719 to be, And living in that assumption, it slowly hardens 550 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,159 into fact, even though at the moment of the assumption 551 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,880 it was denied by reason and assumption. Though false, if 552 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:31,599 persisted in, will harden into fact. So you learn to assume, 553 00:40:32,199 --> 00:40:35,039 and learn to persist in the assumption, and it will 554 00:40:35,039 --> 00:40:40,480 come to pass. Now let us go into the silence, 555 00:40:41,000 --> 00:41:45,320 after which we'll have questions. Good but I hope you 556 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:50,960 call it good mood. It'll work now, are there any questions? Please? 557 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:16,960 Any questions? Hm? Yes, sir. Well to answer your question, 558 00:42:17,039 --> 00:42:19,119 I must just go back and explain it to those 559 00:42:19,159 --> 00:42:23,920 who are here for the first time. No, no, no, no. 560 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,719 I make the statement based upon my own experience. And 561 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:32,199 nothing dies. That's not only true of man, it's true 562 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:36,000 of the flowers, of the animal world, of the trees, 563 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,559 of everything. Nothing dies. I am the god of the living, 564 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,920 not of the dead. So nothing dies. The little flower 565 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:48,960 that blooms once blooms forever. It's renewed by the seed 566 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,639 of contemplated. Not for I had a wonderful friend and secretary. 567 00:42:54,199 --> 00:42:57,239 He died suddenly at the age of fifty when I 568 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:02,480 was out there. Lived in New York City. He was 569 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,679 born in Haverstall, New York, which is upstate New York. 570 00:43:07,039 --> 00:43:09,679 He lived in Manhattan and took care of my books 571 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,639 and took care of all of my business affairs. When 572 00:43:12,639 --> 00:43:14,679 I got a cable saying that he was dead, they 573 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,679 found his body on the floor the next morning where 574 00:43:16,679 --> 00:43:19,840 they went in to clean, and I must come back 575 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:24,639 and take care of the funeral affairs. So I went back. 576 00:43:26,199 --> 00:43:28,920 I have two sister in law. My wife is one 577 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:33,679 of three girls. The other two are pillars of the 578 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:40,400 Episcopal Church, the older the two lives in Sabbath, New Jersey. 579 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,960 And she's always said to me, you know, I like 580 00:43:44,039 --> 00:43:46,000 your personally as the brother in law, because you're kind 581 00:43:46,039 --> 00:43:50,599 to my sister and to your child, and for that 582 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,400 I like you. But I don't believe one word you 583 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,880 talk about. That's not my God. I said, all right, 584 00:43:58,119 --> 00:44:04,360 I don't believe in immortality, don't believe in survival. I said, 585 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,519 you call yourself a Christian, so what has that to 586 00:44:07,519 --> 00:44:11,079 do with it? I said, did you realize that the 587 00:44:11,159 --> 00:44:14,679 Christian foundation is the fatherhood? Of God, the brotherhood of man, 588 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,880 and life everlasting. You are one of these and it's 589 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:23,320 going to collapse now. She didn't say a word. I 590 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:27,039 still don't believe what you teach totally. All right. Well, 591 00:44:27,559 --> 00:44:30,840 he died in August. I went back into care of 592 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:37,400 the funeral. In the next year, I presume around January 593 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:43,079 or February. I found myself consciously in that world where 594 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:49,920 Jack is. I do it time and time again. This 595 00:44:50,159 --> 00:44:52,480 does not restrain me. I can put it on her 596 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:57,000 bed and find myself in another world. It isn't aware. 597 00:44:57,159 --> 00:44:59,920 It's right there. They're penetrating each other and yet no 598 00:45:00,199 --> 00:45:04,480 interfering with each other. And here is Jack, and here 599 00:45:04,599 --> 00:45:06,559 is my sister in law. L I call her he 600 00:45:06,559 --> 00:45:11,480 her name is Alice. And I said. She said to me, 601 00:45:11,599 --> 00:45:14,639 I still don't believe what you teach you now, how 602 00:45:14,639 --> 00:45:18,039 can you say that when you see Jack? She did, 603 00:45:18,079 --> 00:45:20,599 what has yet to do with it? I said, don't 604 00:45:20,599 --> 00:45:25,800 you know that Jack died? Jet then spoke to me, 605 00:45:26,039 --> 00:45:29,760 who's dead? I said, you aren't day, Jack, but you die. 606 00:45:30,159 --> 00:45:32,639 I went to your funeral. I payed for it. I 607 00:45:32,679 --> 00:45:36,679 got a good Catholic funeral, Jack, because your sister insisted 608 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,840 that you must be giving a nice Catholic tuneral. But 609 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,800 I didn't cremate you. I put you in holy ground, Jack, 610 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,079 I got a priest, and a priest did all the 611 00:45:46,119 --> 00:45:49,199 little things he has to do, so you're very well planted.
