•
Man can bring things into existence through his thoughts and consciousness
•
The Bible should be seen as a psychological drama about the consciousness of man
rather than a historical record
•
God is the awareness of being and this is stated multiple times in the Bible
•
Consciousness has the power to resurrect or bring things into existence
•
By claiming God as their own awareness of being, individuals can transform their
own world and realize their own unity with God
•
The concept of a God separate from oneself is limiting and untrue
•
The awareness of being is the "father" and the thing being conscious of is the "son"
•
Jesus discovered and declared his unity with God, but this does not mean he was a
God separate from humanity
•
The power of consciousness and the awareness of being can bring about healing
and manifestation in the physical world.
•
Things can be brought into existence through the power of consciousness and the
awareness of being
•
To change one's reality, one must change their consciousness and focus on what
one desire to be
•
The concept of God in the Bible refers to one's own awareness of being, and prayer
should involve recognizing and claiming this awareness rather than petitioning a
separate deity
•
Manifestations appear through consciousness, and it is important to focus on the
desired consciousness before expecting the manifestation to appear
•
The story of Mary and Jesus in the Bible represents the process of giving birth to
desires through the awareness of being, which remains "virgin" no matter how
many desires it brings into existence
•
The power of consciousness can bring about healing in the physical body and
manifestation in the material world
•
It is important to realize that everything is consciousness and there is no separation
between the self and the things desired.
•
To bring about change in one's reality, one must let go of their current beliefs and
limitations and focus on being formless and faceless
•
In this formless state, they can give form to their desired reality by feeling
themselves to be what they desire
•
Changing one's consciousness is the only way to change one's reality and
environment
•
Man's current conception of himself is a prison and he must awaken to his true self
as a formless, faceless awareness of being to be free
•
The awareness of being is the "good shepherd" that leads one's reality, or "sheep,"
and has never lost a single one
•
It is important to focus on the present moment and not worry about the past or
future
•
The power of consciousness can bring about manifestation and healing in the
physical world
•
It is important to let go of the ego and realize that the self and the things desired
are not separate.
•
Asking for wisdom from God (awareness) with faith and without a doubt will result
in receiving it.
•
Expressing gratitude and thankfulness towards God (awareness) for things that have
not yet manifested in the physical world establishes consciousness of receiving
them.
•
"Name" refers to nature, and basking in the nature of something will lead to
receiving it.
•
Praying, or recognizing, and believing in the present tense that you have received
what you desire will lead to receiving it.
•
Forgiving others allows for the release of condemnation and the ability to rise in
consciousness to any necessary level.
•
Every individual's conception of themselves becomes their reward.
•
Tithing, or giving a percentage of one's income, is not necessary for receiving
abundance.
•
Thoughts held in consciousness manifest in physical reality.
•
The concept of sin is not real and was created by man.
•
The concept of heaven and hell are within each individual and not external
locations.
•
The nature of God (awareness) is within each individual.
•
Consciousness is like the vine and the things you are conscious of being are like the
branches that you feed and keep alive.
•
To solve a problem, remove your attention from it and start feeling like you are the
solution to the problem.
•
Claim "I am" in consciousness to embody the qualities you desire.
•
Touch the solution to a problem to feel healed or cured.
•
Have faith in your consciousness of being and claim all the attributes you have
previously given to an external God.
•
"I AM" is your awareness of being.
•
Consciousness is the vine and the things we are conscious of being are like
branches that we sustain with our attention.
•
To dissolve a problem, remove attention from it and start feeling as if the solution is
already present.
•
Claiming "I am" the solution to a problem or desire will bring it into manifestation.
•
Life does not judge whether something is right or wrong, it simply expresses what
we claim to be true about ourselves.
•
Our desires contain within them the plan for self-expression and should not be
judged or conditioned, but accepted and given thanks for as if they have already
been received.
•
Worry and concern about how a desire will manifest blocks its manifestation.
•
Seeing things as real denies their potential to be changed through faith.
•
Problems can be removed with faith as small as a mustard seed.
•
When we claim ourselves to be the thing desired, we become worthy of receiving it.
•
Giving thanks for something before it is received helps bring it into manifestation.
•
The word "imagination" has many different meanings and connotations.
•
The author identifies imagination as the central figure in the Gospels and the power
that makes forgiveness and goal achievement possible.
•
Imagination is the gateway to reality and allows us to transform the violence of the
world.
•
Only by living through imagination can we truly be said to be living at all.
•
Imagination is the redeemer and the birth and growth of imagination is the
transition from traditional to experiential beliefs.
•
The birth of Christ in man is slow because people are unwilling to let go of
traditional beliefs.
•
The literal understanding of religious texts and concepts is a barrier to
understanding the true meaning and power of imagination.
•
The purpose of this book is to encourage the reader to function imaginatively and
experience the abundant life that Christ promised.
•
The power of imagination is crucial for forgiveness and the birth of Christ in an
individual.
•
Christianity must be consciously adopted as a way of life, rather than inherited
through birth.
•
Christ is identified with human imagination, and every time imagination is exercised
for the benefit of others, it is mediating God to man.
•
The world presents different appearances based on the acceptance and beliefs of an
individual.
•
The shaping of the world as it appears to an individual depends on the state of
imagination they are fused with.
•
The power of imagination is crucial for creating and shaping the world, and it can be
harnessed through visualization and identification with one's aim in life.
•
The power of imagination can be used to overcome problems and challenges, and it
is the key to experiencing the abundant life promised by Christ.
•
Every individual has two distinct centers of thought or outlooks on the world:
natural and spiritual.
•
The inner body of an individual is as real as the outer physical body, but it expresses
a more fundamental part of reality.
•
The inner body must be consciously exercised and directed, and its movement
determines the movement of the outer body.
•
Desire can be realized through the vivid representation of action in imagination.
•
Fancy and imagination are not two separate powers, but one power operating at
different levels of intensity.
•
The power of imagination can be harnessed through visualization and focusing the
mind on a specific goal or desire.
•
Imagination is a powerful force that can be used to forgive sin and achieve one's
goals.
•
There are two conflicting principles within every person: the natural and the
spiritual.
•
The inner body of man, attuned to the inner world of thought and feeling, must be
consciously exercised and directed.
•
The act of revision, or re-imagining events to conform to one's ideals, can lead to
forgiveness and transformation.
•
Forgiveness involves withdrawing attention from the unrevised day and focusing on
the revised version.
•
Every act of revision is a victory over oneself and one's enemy.
•
The battle within a person is fought in their imagination.
•
The power of imagination can be harnessed to create a better future.
•
Forgiveness is the key to experiencing the abundant life promised by Christ.
•
Poets believe that having a firm conviction that something is true can make it true.
•
Persuasion requires intense inner effort and attention.
•
Inner speech (mental conversations with oneself) can influence external events and
create an intelligible world.
•
Inner speech reflects the state of consciousness from which one views the world.
•
Changing inner speech can change one's state of being and the events in one's life.
•
Negative inner talking should be replaced with a positive inner speech based on
fulfilled desires.
•
Inner talking is the seed for future action and should be consciously controlled.
•
Blake believed the inner world was just as real as the outer physical world.
•
The outer world is a manifestation of the mental activity of the observer.
•
Man's imagination is constrained by habit and must be changed to realize one's
ideal.
•
The inner self gives the outer self its reality of being, and any change in the inner
self will result in corresponding outer changes.
•
Inner speech and action are channels for God's action and should match the outer
speech and action of fulfilled desire.
•
Changing one's inner consciousness is referred to as "dying" and is necessary for
the realization of one's ideal.
•
BLAKE SAW all possible human situations as "already-made" states. He saw every
aspect, every plot, and drama as already worked out as "mere possibilities" as long
as we are not in them, but as overpowering realities when we are in them.
•
He described these states as "Sculptures of Los's Halls".
•
Distinguish therefore states from Individuals in those States. States change but
Individual Identities never change nor cease... The Imagination is not a State. Said
Blake,
It is Human Existence itself. Affection or Love becomes a State when divided from
imagination.
•
Just how important this is to remember is almost impossible to say, but the moment
the individual realizes this for the first time is the most momentous in his life, and to
be encouraged to feel this is the highest form of encouragement it is possible to
give.
•
This truth is common to all men, but the consciousness of it – and much more, the
self-consciousness of it – is another matter. The day I realized this great truth – that
everything in my world is a manifestation of the mental activity which goes on
within me, and that the conditions and circumstances of my life only reflect the
state of consciousness with which I am fused – is the most momentous in my life.
•
But the experience that brought me to this certainty is so remote from ordinary
existence, I have long hesitated to tell it, for my reason refused to admit the
conclusions to which the experience impelled me. Nevertheless, this experience
revealed to me that I am supreme within the circle of my state of consciousness and
that it is the state with which I am identified that determines what I experience.
•
Therefore, it should be shared with all, for to know this is to become free from the
world's greatest tyranny, the belief in a second cause.
•
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8
•
Blessed are they whose imagination has been so purged of the beliefs in second
causes they know that imagination is all, and all is imagination.
•
One day I quietly slipped from my apartment in New York City into some remote
yesteryear's countryside. As I entered the dining room of a large inn, I became fully
conscious. I knew that my physical body was immobilized on my bed back in New
York.
•
Yet here I was as awake and as conscious as I have ever been. I intuitively knew that
if I could stop the activity of my mind, everything before me would freeze. No
sooner was the thought born than the urge to try it possessed me. I felt my head
tighten, then thicken to a stillness. My attention concentrated on a crystal-clear
focus, and the waitress walking walked not. And I looked through the window and
the leaves falling, fell not. And the family of four eating ate not. And they lifting the
food lifted it not. Then my attention relaxed, the tightness eased, and of a sudden,
all moved onward in their course. The leaves fell, the waitress walked and the family
ate. Then I understood Blake's vision of the "Sculptures of Los's Halls".
•
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor. John 4:38
•
Creation is finished.
•
I am the beginning and the end, there is nothing to come that has not been, and is.
Ecclesiastes 3:15, ERV
•
The world of creation is finished and its original is within us
•
. We saw it before we set forth, and have since been trying to remember it and
activate sections of it. There are infinite views of it. Our task is to get the right view
and by determining the direction of our attention make it pass in procession before
the inner eye. If we assemble the right sequence and experience it in imagination
until it has the tone of reality, then we consciously create circumstances.
•
This inner procession is the activity of imagination that must be consciously
directed. We, by a series of mental transformations, become aware of increasing
portions of that which already is, and by matching our mental activity to that
portion of the creation which we desire to experience, we activate it, resurrect it, and
give it life.
•
This experience of mine not only shows the world as a manifestation of the mental
activity of the individual observer, but it also reveals our course of time as jumps of
attention between eternal moments. An infinite abyss separates any two moments
of ours.
•
We, by the movements of our attention, give life to the "Sculptures of Los's Halls".
•
Think of the world as containing an infinite number of states of consciousness from
which it could be viewed. Think of these states as rooms or mansions in the House
of God [John 14:2], and like the rooms of any house, they are fixed relative to one
another.
•
But think of yourself, the Real Self, the Imaginative You, as the living, moving
occupant of God's House.
•
Each room contains some of Los's Sculptures, with infinite plots and dramas and
situations already worked out but not activated.
•
They are activated as soon as Human Imagination enters and fuses with them. Each
represents certain mental and emotional activities. To enter a state, man must
consent to the ideas and feelings that it represents.
•
These states represent an infinite number of possible mental transformations that
man can experience. To move into another state or mansion necessitates a change
of beliefs.
•
All that you could ever desire is already present and only waits to be matched by
your beliefs.
•
But it must be matched, for that is the necessary condition by which alone it can be
activated and objectified.
•
Matching the beliefs of a state is the seeking that finds, the knocking to which it is
opened, and the asking that receives [Matthew 7:8; Luke 11:10]. Go in and possess
the land [Exodus 6:4;8].
•
The moment man matches the beliefs of any state, he fuses with it, and this union
results in the activation and projection of its plots, plans, dramas, and situations.
•
It becomes the individual's home from which he views the world. It is his workshop,
and, if he is observant, he will see outer reality shaping itself upon the model of his...
Imagination.
•
It is for this purpose of training us in image-making that we were made subject to
the limitations of the senses and clothed in bodies of flesh.
•
It is the awakening of the imagination, the return of His Son, that our Father waits
for.
•
The creature was made subject to vanity not willingly, but because of him who
subjected it. Romans 8:20
•
But the victory of the Son, the return of the prodigal, assures us that
•
the creature shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious
liberty of the Sons [children] of God. Romans 8:21
•
We were subjected to this biological experience because no one can know of
imagination who has not been subjected to the vanities and limitations of the flesh,
who has not taken his share of Sonship and gone prodigal, who has not
experimented and tasted this cup of experience; and confusion will continue until
man awakes and a fundamentally imaginative view of life has been reestablished
and acknowledged as basic.
•
I should preach... the unsearchable riches of Christ and make all men see what is the
fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hiding in
God, Who created all things by Jesus Christ. Ephesians 3:8,9
•
Bear in mind that Christ in you is your imagination.
•
As the appearance of our world is determined by the particular state with which we
are fused, so may we determine our fate as individuals by fusing our imaginations
with ideals we seek to realize. The distinction between our states of consciousness
depends on the distinction between the circumstances and conditions of our lives.
•
Man, who is free in his choice of state, often cries out to be saved from the state of
his choice.
•
And ye shall cry out in that day, because of your king which ye shall have chosen
you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day. Nevertheless, the people refused to
obey the voice of Samuel; and they said Nay; but we will have a king over us.
1Samuel 8:18,19
•
Choose wisely the state that you will serve. All states are lifeless until imagination
fuses with them.
•
All things when they are admitted are made manifest by the light: for everything
that is made manifest is light, Ephesians 5:13,
•
and Ye are the light of the world, Matthew 5:14,
•
by which those ideas to which you have consented are made manifest.
•
Hold fast to your ideal. Nothing can take it from you but your imagination.
•
Don't think of your ideal, think from it. It is only the ideals from which you think that
is ever realized.
•
Man lives not by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of
God, Matthew 4:4,
•
and "the mouth of God" is the mind of man.
•
Become a drinker and an eater of the ideals you wish to realize. Have a set, definite
aim, or your mind will wander, and wandering it eats every negative suggestion.
•
If you live right mentally, everything else will be right.
•
By a change of mental diet, you can alter the course of observed events.
•
But unless there is a change of mental diet, your personal history remains the same.
•
You illuminate or darken your life by the ideas to which you consent.
•
Nothing is more important to you than the ideas on which you feed. And you feed
on the ideas from which you think. If you find the world unchanged, it is a sure sign
that you are wanting in fidelity to the new mental diet, which you neglect in order to
condemn your environment. You are in need of a new and sustained attitude.
•
You can be anything you please if you will make the conception habitual, for any
idea which excludes all others from the field of attention discharges in action.
•
The ideas and moods to which you constantly return define the state with which you
are fused.
•
Therefore, train yourself to occupy more frequently the feeling of your wish being
fulfilled. This is creative magic. It is the way to work toward fusion with the desired
state.
•
If you would assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled more frequently, you would be
master of your fate, but unfortunately, you shut out your assumption for all but the
occasional hour. Practice making real to yourself the feeling of the wish being
fulfilled.
•
After you have assumed the feeling of the wish fulfilled, do not close the experience
as you would a book, but carry it around like a fragrant odor.
•
Instead of being completely forgotten, let it remain in the atmosphere
communicating its influence automatically to your actions and reactions. A mood,
often repeated, gains a momentum that is hard to break or check. So be careful of
the feelings you entertain. Habitual moods reveal the state with which you are
fused.
•
It is always possible to pass from thinking of the end you desire to realize, to
thinking from the end.
•
But the crucial matter is thinking from the end, for thinking from means unification
or fusion with the idea: whereas in thinking of the end, there is always subject and
object – the thinking individual and the thing thought. You must imagine yourself in
the state of your wish fulfilled, in your love for that state, and in so doing, live and
think from it and no more of it. You pass from thinking to thinking by centering
your imagination on the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
•
A vision of perfection resulted from intense meditation on the concept of
perfection.
•
The ideal with which one is united influences and creates a corresponding drama.
•
The mood or emotions of the individual can attract and unite with a higher or
greater self.
•
The greater self is a reflection of the individual's conception of it.
•
The greater self is the center from which all threads of the universe are drawn and
shapes circumstances in harmony with the individual's concepts of themselves.
•
Transformation of the self is necessary to bring about outer perfection and change
the world.
•
Intensity of love or hate can cause the individual to become what they contemplate.
•
The greater self can be accessed through deep meditation and focused attention.
•
The greater self is the source of all creative power.
•
The world and everything in it is a manifestation of consciousness.
•
The conscious mind is personal and selective, while the subconscious is impersonal
and non-selective.
•
The conscious impresses ideas on the subconscious, which then gives form and
expression to them.
•
Control of the subconscious can be achieved through the control of ideas and
feelings.
•
The mechanism of creation is in the subconscious, which is influenced by feelings
and transcends reason.
•
Ideas are impressed on the subconscious through feelings.
•
Control of feelings is important for a full and happy life and involves avoiding
negative feelings and thinking sympathetically about wrong.
•
The dominant of two feelings will be the one expressed.
•
Sensation precedes manifestation and can be controlled through the conscious
mind.
•
The conscious mind can direct the subconscious to manifest desired outcomes.
•
The subconscious can be accessed and controlled through deep meditation and
focused attention.
•
Sleep is a natural door into the subconscious and is a time when the conscious and
subconscious are creatively joined
•
The conditions and events of one's life are formed from the molds of subconscious
impressions in sleep
•
To realize one's wishes, they must be resolved into the feeling of being or having
the desired state before sleep
•
The subconscious never sleeps and sleep is the door through which the conscious
mind passes to be creatively joined to the subconscious
•
To make the most of sleep, one should feel the wish fulfilled before falling asleep,
lie flat on their back with their head at the same level as their body, and assume and
maintain the consciousness of success by feeling "I am successful"
•
Dreams are the product of the subconscious and the conscious working together
and can be used to make changes in one's life
•
To understand and control dreams, one should keep a dream journal and focus on
feeling their desire fulfilled in their dreams
•
The purpose of life is to achieve unity with the subconscious and to manifest one's
highest potential on earth.
•
Prayer is an entrance into the subconscious similar to sleep.
•
To pray successfully, the individual must believe that their prayers have already been
realized.
•
Prayer involves yielding to the wish rather than forcing it.
•
To yield to the wish, the individual must create a passive state through relaxation
and feeling sleepy.
•
In this state, the individual should imagine that their wish has been fulfilled and feel
as having already achieved it.
•
The subconscious will then find means for the realization of the wish.
•
The individual should pray without effort and conflicting feelings.
•
Prayer can be done anytime, but the best time is when the individual is feeling their
best.
•
The individual should pray for the good of others as well as themselves.
•
Prayer can be done for anything that can be imagined.
•
The individual should have faith and trust in the power of prayer.
•
To realize a wish, one should capture the feeling associated with it by assuming the
feeling of already having the desired thing.
•
Faith is feeling, and one attracts what they feel themselves to be.
•
Instead of believing in God or Jesus, one should believe that they are God or Jesus.
•
It is natural to do the works of the one you believe yourself to be.
•
To establish the reality of success, a person should believe in the value of the advice
they receive and apply it.
•
Unconditioned consciousness, or a sense of awareness and knowing that one exists,
is the one and only reality.
•
The self-existent, unconditioned consciousness becomes aware of being someone
or something but remains eternally aware of being regardless of its condition.
•
All beliefs about the self are attempts to know the unknown, undefined reality of
unconditioned consciousness.
•
The world is the objectification of one's conditioned consciousness.
•
The state of consciousness in which one life is reflected in the world and events in
one's life.
•
The inner state is the cause of the outer manifestation, not external factors such as
God, fate, or chance.
•
The individual's sense of awareness and consciousness of being is their true being
or God.
•
The individual's conception of themselves is an illusion.
•
The discovery that one's sense of awareness is God reveals that all beliefs about
God are beliefs about the self.
•
The individual's consciousness brings to life their consciousness of being.
•
The individual's consciousness is the only entrance into the world of expression.
•
The individual's beliefs limit their experiences and accomplishments.
•
The individual has the power to change their life by changing their consciousness
and beliefs.
•
The Bible is a mystical text that uses Eastern symbolism to reveal the secrets of
creation and how to escape them.
•
The Bible was written symbolically to be understood by those with intelligence and
intuition.
•
The symbolic name of the creator, Jehovah, is made up of four Hebrew letters that
represent different aspects of creation.
•
The first letter, JOD, represents unconditioned consciousness or the sense of
undefined awareness from which all creation comes.
•
The second letter, HE, represents an idea or defined subjective state.
•
The third letter, VAU, represents the act of unifying the conceiver and the
conception.
•
The fourth letter, HE, represents the objectification of the subjective agreement
between the conceiver and the conception.
•
The interpretation of the Bible requires an understanding of the symbolic meanings
of words and names.
•
All words and names in the Bible are symbols that represent different states of
consciousness.
•
To understand the Bible, one must learn to read it symbolically and understand its
message through intuition.
•
The story of Noah and the Ark in the Bible is a symbolic representation of the
process of creation.
•
Noah, the father, and creator represents unconditioned consciousness or I AM.
•
Noah's three sons represent different stages in the process of creation: Shem
represents desire or a defined objective, Ham represents a feeling or the subjective
union of consciousness and desire, and Japheth represents the extended or
objectified state bearing witness of the subjective state.
•
The ability to feel unseen and actualize a definite subjective state through feeling is
the secret of creation, turning the invisible into the visible.
•
The present objectified world is a reflection of past subjective states.
•
The story of Noah teaches the importance of defining and feeling a clear desire to
bring about its manifestation in the physical world.
•
The story of Isaac blessing his second son Jacob by mistakenly believing he is
blessing his first son Esau represents the secret of feeling or the ability to call the
invisible into visible states.
•
Isaac represents consciousness or awareness of being, Esau represents the present
objectified world, and Jacob represents a subjective state or desire that is not yet
embodied.
•
Isaac, who is blind and therefore cannot see his sons, uses his sense of feeling to
mistakenly bless Jacob, the subjective state, as though it were Esau, the real or
objectified state.
•
To make a subjective state become objectified, one must focus on it and feel it is
real.
•
The sense of feeling is the key to the secret of creation, as it allows one to
subjectively actualize a state and impress upon oneself the reality of that state until
it becomes visible.
•
The story of Isaac and his two sons symbolizes how one's consciousness creates and
shapes their reality.
•
The six days of work in the Bible are not 24-hour periods but symbolize the
psychological moment a definite subjective state is fixed.
•
This time spent consciously defining oneself as what one desires to be is the
measure of the six days.
•
The sixth letter in the Hebrew alphabet, VAU, represents the act of joining the
creator (consciousness) to their creation (desire) through feeling.
•
The interval between the fixed impression (subjective state) and the outward
expression of that state is called the Sabbath, which is a period of mental rest.
•
The Sabbath follows the six days of work and is a period of mental pregnancy,
during which the manifestation is incubated.
•
The Sabbath can be kept as a day of rest only after one succeeds in becoming
conscious of being what they desire to be.
•
Physical observance of one day of the week as a day of quietness is not keeping the
Sabbath, as the peace of the Sabbath can only be experienced when one has
succeeded in becoming conscious of being what one desires.
•
The true meaning and purpose of the Sabbath are to enter into a state of rest or
peace within one's consciousness.
•
The formula for the cure of leprosy in the Bible can be applied to any problem in
life, including physical, mental, financial, social, and moral issues.
•
The two birds in the formula represent the current problem and the solution to that
problem.
•
The process of curing the problem involves killing the first bird (the problem) by
removing attention from it and dipping the second bird (the solution) into the
blood (consciousness) of the first bird.
•
This process is similar to the act of blessing in the story of Isaac blessing Jacob,
where Jacob's subjective state (the solution) is made objective by the blind Isaac's
(consciousness) belief in it.
•
The next step in the process involves sprinkling the solution (the live bird) onto the
problem seven times, symbolizing the idea that the solution must be fixed in
consciousness through repetition.
•
The final step involves letting the live bird (the solution) go into the open field,
symbolizing the idea of allowing the solution to manifest and become a reality in
the objective world.
•
By following this formula, one can free themselves from any problem or undesirable
state and manifest the solution in their life.
•
God communicates with humans through their basic desires, which are "words of
promise or prophecies that contain within themselves the plan and power of
expression."
•
Basic desires are a person's true objectives, while secondary desires deal with the
means of achieving them.
•
God does not reveal the plan for achieving a person's desires, but only the desire
itself and its eventual fulfillment.
•
People often add to or take away from their basic desires, which results in failure
and frustration.
•
Desires are a natural result of a person's self-conception and will continue as long
as that self-conception persists.
•
Changing one's self-conception will change their desires.
•
Desires are states of consciousness seeking embodiment and can be easily
expressed by those who have conceived them.
•
When a person assumes the proper attitude and becomes one with their desire, it
will be expressed.
•
The power to fulfill desires comes from within and is activated through the process
of desire, faith, and acceptance.
•
The law of assumption is the belief that a person's desire is already fulfilled, which
causes it to be expressed in the physical world.
•
The power of assumption can be used to overcome any obstacle or problem.
•
The phrase "faith as a grain of mustard seed" does not mean a small amount of
faith.
•
A grain of mustard seed is absolute in faith because it is only aware of being a
mustard seed and is sealed in the conviction of being one.
•
Faith is feeling or living in the consciousness of being the thing desired and is the
secret of creation and the sense of feeling by which Isaac blessed and made real his
son Jacob.
•
Faith enables a person to become conscious of being the thing desired and seals
them in that conscious state until it ripens and expresses itself.
•
To have the faith of a mustard seed, a person must wear the mood or feeling of
already being what they desire to be and remain confident in it until it becomes a
visible reality.
•
A fixed conscious state that is properly sealed by faith is a Word of God and must
embody itself.
•
To send out a Word of God, a person must be conscious of being the thing desired,
speak the word with feeling, and let go of the desire.
•
A Word of God can be sent out to heal others or to manifest anything desired.
•
To manifest anything, a person must be conscious of being it, speak it with feeling,
and let go of the desire.
•
All desires are words of God waiting to be sealed and made flesh.
•
The Immaculate Conception is a story from the Bible about the birth of Jesus.
•
The story of the Immaculate Conception is a metaphor for the process of
impregnating oneself with a desired state.
•
The story has four characters: the Father (consciousness), the Son (desire), Mary
(receptive attitude of mind), and the Angel (a method used to make the
impregnation).
•
To impregnate oneself with a desired state, one must first clarify their desire and
then select a trusted friend to serve as the messenger or "angel" who will impart the
desired state to them.
•
The messenger tells the individual that they have already achieved their desired
state, and the individual assumes a receptive attitude of mind and imagines hearing
this message.
•
The emotional thrill of hearing the good news is the moment of conception when
the individual becomes self-impregnated with the desired state.
•
The individual then goes about their business in secret, confident that the desired
state will be expressed in due time.
•
The flexibility of man's future is determined by his attitudes, not his actions.
•
A change in a person's concept of themselves can alter their future.
•
Changes occur in consciousness and there are multiple potential outcomes for the
future.
•
Every person has two outlooks on the world: a natural focus governed by the senses
and a spiritual focus governed by desire.
•
The spiritual focus allows one to see events as distinct and separated, while the
natural focus only sees the present moment.
•
One can develop their spiritual outlook by deliberately focusing on an invisible state
and feeling it as real until it becomes distinct.
•
Desire is the driving force behind all actions and can be used to shape one's future.
•
One's future can be altered by breaking old habits and forming new ones.
•
The ability to see the invisible and spiritual things can be developed through
practice and concentration.
•
The flexibility of the future is determined by attitudes, not actions.
•
A change in a person's concept of self will alter their future.
•
Changes take place in consciousness and the future has multiple outcomes based
on choices made in the present.
•
There are two outlooks on the world: the natural focus governed by the senses and
the spiritual focus governed by desire.
•
The natural focus sees only the present moment, while the spiritual focus sees
events separated in time as distinct objects in space.
•
The habit of seeing only what the senses allow blinds people to what they could
otherwise see.
•
To cultivate the ability to see the invisible, people should focus their attention on an
invisible state and imagine feeling and sensing it until it becomes real.
•
Concentrating on a desired state will cause other sensations to disappear.
•
Withdrawing attention from the senses and concentrating on the invisible develops
the spiritual outlook and allows for seeing beyond the physical world.
•
A controlled imagination can reshape the future in accordance with desire.
•
To project the spiritual self, immobilize the physical body, focus on a single
imaginary action, and repeat it until it feels real.
•
A dimensionally larger world, beyond the three dimensions of space and the fourth
dimension of time, can be accessed through imagination and is where the future
can be altered.
•
The fifth dimension is where all probabilities exist simultaneously.
•
The fifth dimension can be accessed through imagination, desire, and the feeling of
the wish fulfilled.
•
Assumptions, or premises presumed to be true, can be turned into facts through
persistence and influence the actions and behaviors of others towards their
fulfillment.
•
To change conditions in the three dimensions of space, they must first be changed
in the four dimensions of space.
•
The goal of this text is to help people understand and travel to another world
beyond the veil of the senses.
•
To do this, people should focus their attention on a desired state until it feels like a
reality.
•
Gazing fixedly into an object can help control attention, and mentally seeing and
hearing what is desired will occupy attention.
•
When the desired state is fixed in consciousness, it can become a visible and
concrete fact.
•
To achieve this, people should identify with their desired state, acting and living as if
it is already a reality.
•
This assumption, if persisted in, will become fact and change people's relationships
to the world.
•
In meditation, people should also imagine that others see them expressing their
desired state.
•
Assuming that one is what one wants to be, and believing and being are one, can
lead to the fulfillment of desire and the neutralization of longing.
•
Being is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen.
•
Seeing others as they are related to the desired state, and considering how they
would react to it, can confirm that the desired state is being embodied.
•
A true judgment does not necessarily conform to external reality.
•
Ancient teachers said to not judge based on appearances and to imagine good
things about others to set them free.
•
The author's education focused on the power of imagination.
•
Imagination is powerful and can attract desired outcomes.
•
Desire and imagination can be used to shape the future.
•
It is important to only think good and lovely thoughts.
•
The future can be changed by first desiring and then imagining the desired
outcome.
•
The body and physical world are created by the imagination.
•
It is possible to experience things in the present that have not yet happened in the
physical world.
•
To change the present and future, one must first change their thoughts and beliefs
about themselves.
•
The speaker believes that the ideal we strive to attain is already present in our
nature.
•
The speaker had a mystical experience where they meditated on the idea of
perfection and became one with that state, causing those around them to be
healed.
•
The speaker believes that the only way to bring about outer perfection is through
the transformation of ourselves.
•
The speaker believes that life molds the outer world to reflect the inner
arrangement of our minds, and therefore we must change ourselves to change the
world.
•
The speaker advocates for imagining ourselves as already being what we want to
become to bring about outer change.
•
The speaker believes that by imagining ourselves as already possessing our desired
qualities, we can change our concept of ourselves and bring about outer change.
•
The speaker advises us to focus on the ideal we want to become and to not allow
negative influences to divert us from that path.
•
The speaker believes that we have the power to change our lives by changing our
thoughts and beliefs about ourselves.
•
Prayer requires a controlled imagination and tranquility, not ceremonies or vain
repetitions.
•
The essence of prayer is faith, but faith must be combined with understanding for it
to be effective.
•
The law of reversibility states that all transformations of force are reversible.
•
This means that if a particular feeling or state of consciousness produces a realized
prayer, then inversely, a realized prayer should produce that feeling or state of
consciousness.
•
To pray effectively, one should assume the feeling of their wish fulfilled and sustain
that feeling until the wish becomes a reality.
•
This law explains why faith is the substance of things hoped for and why things not
yet seen can become seen.
•
To pray for others, one must first imagine themselves as already embodying their
desired state and then project that state onto the other person.
•
The law of reversibility also applies to physical healing, as a person's state of mind
can affect their physical body.
•
To pray for physical healing, one should assume the feeling of being already healed
and sustain that feeling until the physical manifestation occurs.
•
It is important to be specific and clear in one's prayers, as well as to believe that the
prayer will be answered.
•
The human consciousness consists of both a subconscious and a conscious part.
•
The subconscious is more important and is the cause of voluntary action.
•
The subconscious determines the pattern of an individual's objective existence and
is responsible for creating objective manifestations.
•
The subconscious is awakened and influenced through prayer.
•
The conscious mind reasons inductively and the subconscious reasons deductively.
•
Prayer deals almost entirely with the subconscious.
•
The subjective mind (subconscious) animates the world and is responsible for
transmitting ideas through telepathy.
•
The conscious mind originates ideas and the subjective mind (subconscious) unfolds
them to their logical ends.
•
The subconscious can be reprogrammed through prayer and the repetition of
affirmations.
•
The power of the subconscious can be harnessed to bring about desired changes in
an individual's life.
•
Everyone is susceptible to psychological control through suggestion.
•
In hypnosis, the conscious mind is put to sleep while the subconscious is exposed
and can be reached through suggestion.
•
Anyone not consciously aware of a suggestion is in a profound hypnotic state
relative to the person giving the suggestion.
•
To successfully give a suggestion, the person must represent the subject as already
having done what is desired and speak to them as though they have done it.
•
Mental conversation with the subjective image of another must not express any
doubt about the truth of what is heard and said.
•
Control of the subconscious is achieved through control of beliefs, which are the key
to visible states.
•
Imagination and faith are important in creation and healing.
•
The subconscious mind can transmit ideas through telepathy.
•
To influence someone's behavior, the person must sincerely believe what they want
to be true of the other person and awaken that belief within them.
•
Giving is a form of believing, and what you truly believe about others will manifest
within them.
•
The vibratory state transmitted by your belief will persist until it awakens a
corresponding vibration in the person it is directed towards.
•
The objective world reflects the beliefs of the subjective mind.
•
Different people are self-impressed by different forms of mental activity: visual
images, mental sounds, or mental actions.
•
All thoughts and feelings have corresponding expressions, even if they are subtle
muscle movements.
•
Vibrations persist until they manifest as physical facts.
•
Energy is transmitted and received in a "field" and the field becomes the
embodiment of the received energy.
•
The mental sound heard in prayer as coming from outside is produced by oneself.
•
It is possible to change one's vibratory state by changing one's beliefs.
•
It is important to be aware of one's own beliefs and to have control over them.
•
Imagination is the beginning of creation.
•
You can imagine what you desire and then believe it to be true.
•
Every dream can be realized by those who believe in it and have self-discipline.
•
You can shape people's perceptions of others by looking at them differently.
•
"Perfect" people see others as they desire them to be and only hear what they want
to hear.
•
Jesus of Nazareth is asleep in every person's imagination and can be awakened by
affirming "I AM Jesus."
•
You can call your creation into being by feeling the reality of the state you desire.
•
Your behavior is influenced by your subconscious assumptions about your own and
others' social and intellectual rank.
•
Assume the feeling "I am Christ" to change your behavior and subconscious
assumptions.
•
The greatest rank is to disrobe oneself of morality and be clothed with immortal
glory.
•
The prayer "Let God Awake and his enemies be destroyed" is the greatest prayer for
man.
•
The Bible is written in the language of symbolism and is a revelation of the laws and
functions of the mind.
•
The purpose of the book is to show how to succeed in realizing one's desires
through the conscious, voluntary exercise of imagination in accordance with the
laws of the mind.
•
The "Four Mighty Ones" in a person are four different aspects of their mind that can
be equated with the Tetragrammaton symbol of the creative power in man - "I AM."
•
The "Four Mighty Ones" can be compared to the four most important characters in
the production of a play: the producer, the author, the director, and the actor.
•
The producer suggests the theme of a play in the form of a wish, the author writes
the script, the director rehearses and coordinates the actors, and the actor brings
the script to life.
•
To realize one's desires, they must first be clearly defined, then the script must be
written, and then the desire must be rehearsed and acted out with conviction.
•
The secret to success is to be the actor and not the spectator, to believe in one's
script and act it out with enthusiasm and conviction.
•
Cain and Abel are personifications of two distinct functions of consciousness: the
limited perception of the senses and an imaginative view of the world.
•
Cain represents a passive acceptance of life-based on appearances and leads to
discontent or disillusionment, while Abel represents a vision of fulfilled desire that
lifts a person above the evidence of the senses.
•
The Lord, or consciousness, rejects Cain's gift and delights in the gift of Abel, which
is the active use of imagination on behalf of oneself and others.
•
Faith is the belief in something that is not seen and sacrifices apparent facts for
unapparent truths.
•
Through the power of imagination and the persistence of an assumption, even if
denied by the evidence of the senses, it can harden into fact.
•
The story of the woman who imagined her nephew's birthmark away illustrates the
power of imagination and the importance of persistently holding an assumption.
•
The power of imagination and the persistence of an assumption can be applied to
any desire or goal.
•
In a dream, Jacob had a revelation of the ascending and descending levels of
consciousness, or a scale of values, which gives meaning to everything in the outer
world.
•
The meaning of an object or event is a direct index to an individual's level of
consciousness.
•
The objects and events in the world occupy a lower level of significance than the
level of meaning that produced them.
•
Most people try to explain higher levels of significance in terms of lower levels of
what and how things happen.
•
There are three levels of awareness for an accident: the event itself, how it
happened, and why it happened.
•
On the ascending scale, each higher level brings us closer to the truth about an
event.
•
The Lord or meaning is the creator and cause of the phenomena of life.
•
The individual's level of consciousness determines their perception of the world.
•
By understanding the ascending and descending levels of consciousness, an
individual can bring about change in their life.
•
Life is a game played on the playing field of the mind.
•
The aim of the game of life is to increase awareness and achieve our goals and
desires.
•
The rules of the game of life are simple but take a lifetime of practice to use wisely.
•
One of the rules is that what we think in our hearts influences our reality.
•
Inner conversations shape our outer circumstances and we must be aware of our
mental activity to play the game of life successfully.
•
The power of the word cannot be broken and inner conversations based on already
having something can lead to its manifestation.
•
The fault for not achieving our goals lies within ourselves, not in external
circumstances or other people.
•
We can achieve our goals by using the power of the word and focusing on the goal,
not the competition or obstacles.
•
The serpent is a symbol of the power of endless growth and self-reproduction, and
man should learn to shed his old self and grow a new environment.
•
Man's outer world and conditions are the out-picturing of his inner state of
consciousness.
•
The serpent was also associated with the guardianship of treasure or wealth, and
man should awaken the power of his imagination to grow and outgrow and find his
treasures.
•
The spiritual body of imagination is not interlocked with the physical body and
environment and can withdraw to imagine a desired state in hope that it will solidify
as a new environment.
•
To prepare for a new environment, a person must construct a life-like
representation of it in their imagination and visit it repeatedly until it feels natural,
then return to the physical world.
•
The new environment will then manifest in the physical world as the person's new
circumstances.
•
The symbols of water and blood in the gospel and Epistle of John represent
psychological truth and living a life according to that truth, respectively.
•
Literal-minded individuals who do not discover the hidden meaning behind symbols
of truth remain on a lower level of understanding and do not experience true
transformation.
•
The "cup of water" (psychological truth) must be turned into "wine" (active
application of truth) in order to truly taste and experience it.
•
Salvation and transformation come from actively using imagination to appropriate a
specific state of consciousness.
•
This state of consciousness is a man's demand on the infinite storehouse of God
and will manifest in his life as his new environment.
•
The Bible is a collection of parables that reveal the laws and purposes of the mind of
man.
•
The parables should be interpreted mystically to reveal deeper meanings.
•
The advice to the disciples to not provide shoes for their journey symbolizes the
importance of not relying on intermediaries between oneself and God and taking
personal responsibility for one's actions.
•
Imagining evil is not enough, one must actively and lovingly use their imagination
to visualize well in order to clothe and feed Christ (awakened Human Imagination).
•
The chariot in the Song of Solomon symbolizes the mind, with the pillars of silver
representing knowledge, the bottom of gold symbolizing wisdom, and the purple
covering representing the incorporation of love and truth.
•
The story of Joseph's chariot also symbolizes the mind, with the tributaries following
him representing the thoughts and actions that follow a person.
•
Purple is a symbol of love and truth and is used to clothe the incorruptible four-fold
wisdom of the mind.
•
The "wood of Lebanon" symbolizes incorruptibility and is used to make the chariot,
representing the importance of building a mind that is not susceptible to
corruption.
•
The "wedding garment" in the parable of the wedding feast represents the
individual's purified and illuminated mind, which is necessary for entry into the
kingdom of heaven.
•
The parable of the sower and the seeds represents the planting and growth of
thoughts in the mind, with the different types of soil representing the receptivity of
the mind to these thoughts.
•
The parable of the tares among the wheat symbolizes the coexistence of good and
evil thoughts in the mind, with the separation of the tares and wheat representing
the eventual victory of good over evil in the mind.
•
The mustard seed in the parable represents the power of imagination to grow and
transform.
•
Imagining creates reality
•
The world in which we live is a world of imagination and life itself is an activity of
imagining
•
Imagining is the secret of causation and is the ultimate, essentially non-objective
reality from which objects are created
•
All men possess the power to create reality, but this power is dormant unless
consciously exercised
•
The future will be determined by the imaginal activities of man
•
Imagining is the creative power of not only artists and poets but also inventors,
scientists, merchants, and artisans
•
The power of imagination can be harnessed through conscious effort and practice
•
The purpose of this book is to show through true stories how imagining creates
reality.
•
Imagining creates reality and events happen because of imaginal activities.
•
Man's imagination is a gift that is often not consciously exercised.
•
Man can predetermine his future through a controlled, waking dream by living in
the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
•
Man is a center of imagination with the ability to alter the course of events through
mental transformations.
•
A couple built an apartment building through the controlled use of their
imagination and by thinking from the end (having the completed, occupied
building).
•
The couple's imaginal activity attracted financial and practical assistance to bring
the building to fruition.
•
Imagining and faith work together to bring about desired outcomes.
•
Man's imaginal activity can transform and improve any situation.
•
Life is an activity of imagining.
•
The world originates from the divine activity of imagination.
•
Imagining creates and conserves the desirable and transforms or destroys the
undesirable.
•
Imagining is the creative power of the poet, artist, actor, orator, scientist, inventor,
merchant, and artisan.
•
The individual who can summon at will any imaginal activity they please and whose
imaginal visions are as real as physical forms are masters of their fate.
•
Man's imaginal activities create the realities and circumstances of life, whether
knowingly or unknowingly.
•
A controlled, waking dream can be used to predetermine one's future.
•
Imagining is not tied to the senses or confined to the body; one can mentally move
from things as they are to things as they ought to be.
•
Man is a center of imagining with the power to alter the course of events through
the mental transformation of nature, others, and himself.
•
An imaginal structure can draw in participants because they are dramatically
necessary.
•
A lady prepared her dream house by sleeping in it imaginatively.
•
A man rented out his entire office building in his imagination before it was even
built.
•
A man purchased a house through imagining, even though he had no money.
•
Imagining creates reality and can change the past.
•
An unjust steward, or someone who mentally falsifies the facts, can alter the world
through intentional imaginal alteration in their own imagination.
•
Our future is determined by our imaginal activity in its creative march.
•
Men should revise the past and daily relive the day as they wish they had lived it,
conforming it to their ideals.
•
F.B. revised a negative real estate letter to conform to the news they wished they
had received and the revised letter became a reality.
•
Revisiting and revising past events in imagination can repeal them and bring about
new and desired outcomes.
•
Imagination can be used to bring about changes in the present and future as well,
such as changing a negative situation into a positive one or achieving a desired
goal.
•
The key to successful revision is feeling natural in the revised act and believing in its
possibility.
•
The use of imagination, specifically controlled and waking dreams, can allow
individuals to alter and change their reality.
•
Imagination can be used to revise and rewrite past events in order to change their
outcomes and create desired results in the present.
•
Imagining and participating in a desired outcome, such as living in a dream house,
can lead to the manifestation of that outcome in reality.
•
The parable of the unjust steward in the Bible suggests the use of mental
falsification or altering the facts in one's imagination, to achieve desired outcomes.
•
Practicing revision, or recreating past events in the imagination to conform to one's
ideals, can lead to the alteration of present and future circumstances.
•
Confidence in the power of imagination can be gained through experimentation
and the observation of successful results.
•
Imagination has the ability to transform and change not only an individual's
circumstances but also their environment and the world around them.
•
The power of imagination can transform the past and create new realities.
•
Revision is the act of altering the past in one's imagination to change the present
and future.
•
To revise the past, one should mentally recreate a scene and participate in it until it
feels natural.
•
Successful revision can be confirmed through experience and results.
•
Imagining can be used to overcome physical conditions and achieve goals.
•
Imagining can be used to influence others and events.
•
It is important to focus on and visualize the desired outcome in imagination.
•
The power of imagination can be shared and taught to others.
•
The power of the imagination can alter the past, present, and future.
•
The practice of "revision," or mentally re-imagining past events and outcomes, can
change one's circumstances and bring about desired results.
•
The power of the imagination can be tested and proven through personal
experiences, such as increasing one's income or winning money at the race track.
•
It is important to create an imaginal scene that feels natural and to intensely focus
on the desired end result in order for it to manifest.
•
The power of the imagination can also be used to improve physical health and heal
injuries.
•
The subtle threads of the imagination connect all events and circumstances.
•
The power of the imagination can be shared and passed on to others, encouraging
them to try it for themselves.
•
The images of our imagination are the realities of which any physical manifestation
is only a shadow.
•
Imagining is a spiritual sensation.
•
By using our imaginal senses of sight, sound, scent, taste, and touch, we can give
our images the sensory vividness necessary to manifest them in the physical world.
•
Our future is our imagination in its creative march.
•
The imaginist dreams while awake and is the master of the direction of his attention.
•
Imaginative constancy controls the future by directing attention to the desired goal.
•
It is important to remember what we have heard in our imagination and to not
accept "no" as an answer.

The imagination can create circumstances and events in the physical world by fusing
with the sensing field of a particular place or situation.
•
Imagination creates the new by changing the old and can produce events that seem
miraculous or miraculous coincidences.
•
The power of imagination can be harnessed and used to improve one's life and
bring about desired outcomes.
•
Moods are the causes of the conditions in our life, not just the result.
•
An idea only becomes effective when it is felt and accompanied by an "effective
state."
•
A woman used the power of her imagination and the feeling of her wish fulfilled to
manifest her desires.
•
She repeated this process every night for two months and eventually received a
large sum of money from an old friend.
•
This process can be used to manifest anything we desire.
•
Objects must first enter the brain in order to be perceived, but this does not make
man interdependent on his environment.
•
It is possible for a man to move beyond sense perception and fully occupy an
imaginal structure, making it more alive and responsive than reality.
•
This ability to move beyond the mechanical structure of the senses allows man to
alter the course of events by using his powers of intervention through mental
transformation.
•
Attention can be attracted from external senses or directed from within through the
senses into the desired outcome.
•
To move from perceptual to conceptual awareness, one must vividly and realistically
imagine the desired outcome and actively participate in that imagined scene.
•
One woman was able to free herself from physical pain and paralysis through the
use of her imagination.
•
Perception can occur through the eye of imagination or through the senses, but
there are two mental attitudes towards perception: imaginative effort leading to
imaginative response or unimaginative reflection.
•
Man has within him the principle of life, which is imagination, and this allows him to
be the cause of his own experiences.
•
Imagination is a powerful tool that can alter reality.
•
Perception can be influenced by imagination, and sensitive data can be produced
outside of normal physical means.
•
Mental travel, or using imagination to travel to other places or worlds, has been
practiced for centuries.
•
The reality of an experience can be determined by its ability to be shared with
others.
•
Imagination can create reality through the process of imagining the wish fulfilled.
•
Imagination is a powerful force that can manifest our desires and shape our reality.
•
To manifest our desires, we must enter into the image of the wish fulfilled and
assume the feeling of it as already fulfilled.
•
The secret of creation is the secret of imagining and entering into the image of the
wish fulfilled.
•
By entering into a state, we impregnate it and cause it to create what the union
implies.
•
It is possible to use imagination to manifest our desires by building an imaginal
structure, thinking from the image of the desired outcome, and feeling the reality of
it.
•
Examples of using imagination to manifest desires include renting an apartment,
selling a house, and overcoming physical ailments.
•
The key to successful manifestation is to enter into the imaginal structure and feel
the reality of the desired outcome, rather than just thinking about it.
•
The creative power of imaginal activity is undeniable.
•
By imagining things, we can bring them into existence.
•
Imagination plays a role in the creation and manifestation of all forms in nature.
•
We can use our imaginations to replace negative or undesirable thoughts with
positive ones.
•
The more we persist in ideal imaginal activity, the greater the chance of achieving
our goals.
•
It is possible to use imagination to influence and improve the behavior and
circumstances of others.
•
Imagination can be used to improve physical health and well-being.
•
Our imaginations have the power to bring about unexpected coincidences and
events.
•
The use of imagination can lead to a greater understanding of life and the nature of
existence.
•
Desires are driven by personal gain and the intensity of the desire is correlated with
the perceived gain.
•
To fulfill a desire, one should imagine scenes of its fulfillment and actively engage
with the imagination as if it were real.
•
Imagination is a powerful force that can bring about physical change.
•
All forms in nature are created and sustained by imagination.
•
Substitute images can be created through imagination to replace unwanted or
defective content.
•
Persistence in ideal imaginal activity will lead to success.
•
Imagination can bring about desired outcomes in real life if one fully engages with it
and "becomes" the desired outcome in their imagination.
•
Thinking from the end result, rather than just thinking of the end result, is key to
successful manifestation through imagination.
•
Mental things are real, while physical things are not truly known or understood.
•
The narrator gave money to a panhandler, but later refused to give money to others
and felt guilty.
•
The narrator then used imagination to recreate the scene of giving money to a
panhandler, which helped relieve the guilt.
•
Four months later, the same panhandler approached the narrator and told him
about getting a job after being given money.
•
The narrator believes in the power of imagination to bring about change and to
help others.
•
We should use our imagination to shape our memories and view others in a positive
light, rather than condemning them for their past actions.
•
Wisdom and happiness come from focusing on specific, particular things, rather
than general knowledge.
•
Using the imagination to clearly define and imagine specific goals can lead to
certainty and success.
•
The power of imagination can be used to obtain material possessions, as
demonstrated in the story of a woman who acquired a hat through imagination.
•
Imagination can also be used to change situations, such as in the story of a man
who used imagination to increase the share of food available to small birds.
•
It is important to consciously and deliberately use the imagination.
•
Using the imagination to connect with others and share experiences can lead to a
sense of unity and understanding.
•
It is possible to use the imagination to change one's perception of time and to
experience timelessness.
•
"The Moment" is the time when we imagine things as they should be, rather than as
they are.
•
At this moment, God's work is done and events can be molded to fit this altered
pattern.
•
The spiritual man acts, while the natural man only reacts.
•
Changing one's imagination can change the facts.
•
A story is shared of a woman who used her imagination to fulfill her desire to help
an elderly lady, and the desire was quickly realized in reality.
•
The power of imagination can be used to change one's circumstances and bring
about desired outcomes.
•
It is important to recognize and make use of "The Moment" in order to bring about
positive change.
•
The purpose of sharing four mystical experiences is to show the meaning of being
"born from above."
•
In one of the mystical experiences, the speaker is taken to a Divine Society and
meets the embodiment of infinite Love, who asks what the greatest thing in the
world is. The speaker replies that it is faith, hope, and love, with love being the
greatest. The speaker and Love become one body and experience a love that is
beyond human understanding.
•
The voice from outer space interrupts the experience and the speaker is returned to
earth, where they are sent to preach about Christ and the promise of God to
transform man into God.
•
The speaker believes that the world is a stage and God plays all the parts, with the
purpose being to transform man into God.
•
This transformation begins with the crucifixion of God as man and ends with the
resurrection of man as God.
•
God becomes man so that man can become a living being and a life-giving spirit.
•
The speaker's mystical experiences have led them to understand that the "law of
faith" is to believe that the end has already happened and to act as though it has.
•
The speaker has also learned that "the imagination is the organ of meaning" and
that it is through the imagination that one can experience the life-giving spirit.
•
Consciousness is one, manifesting in many forms or levels of consciousness.
•
I AM is the self-definition of the absolute and the foundation for everything.
•
A person's concept of themselves determines their experience and the world they
live in.
•
The individual state of consciousness explains the phenomena of life.
•
Changing one's concept of themselves can lead to higher and higher concepts and
experiences.
•
The fundamental nature of consciousness is unchangeable and eternal.
•
The purpose of life is to discover one's true identity as the eternal I AM.
•
The journey to discovering one's true identity involves letting go of negative
concepts and embracing positive ones.
•
The attainment of a high level of consciousness brings about the experience of
oneness with God.
•
Changes in life are the result of a change in one's concept of oneself, not external
causes.
•
The ideal a person seeks will not manifest until they imagine they are already that
ideal.
•
A radical psychological transformation, including feeling as if one's wish is already
fulfilled, is necessary for the realization of goals.
•
One's attitude towards oneself determines what can be realized.
•
Suggestion and complete abandonment of an ideal is necessary for transformation.
•
Imagining oneself as already experiencing the desired outcome and feeling as if the
wish is fulfilled can lead to its manifestation.
•
To reach a higher level of being, a higher concept of oneself must be assumed.
•
Life is determined by assumptions, and one must become the master of their
assumptions to attain freedom and happiness.
•
Controlled imagination and sustained attention focused on an object can lead to its
manifestation.
•
Thinking from an ideal instead of thinking of an ideal leads to its manifestation.
•
Attention is important for achieving success and changing your future.
•
To develop and control your attention, practice focusing on the events of your day
in reverse order before sleep.
•
With repeated practice, you can develop a "center of power" and become aware of
your true self.
•
When you have control of the internal direction of your attention, you can walk in
the assumption of your wish fulfilled.
•
To change your concept of yourself and your future, focus your attention on the
feeling of your wish being fulfilled.
•
The power of attention is increased by the narrowness of its focus and by the
exclusion of other ideas.
•
The ideas that dominate your consciousness and have your attention are the ones
that lead to action.
•
Imagination is able to do anything, but only according to the internal direction of
your attention.
•
The attentive attitude involves selection and is directed towards a specific goal.
•
To increase the power of your attention, focus on one object or state and exclude
other ideas.
•
Renunciation involves taking your attention away from evil and focusing on what
you want instead.
•
Practice renouncing negative thoughts and feelings by focusing your attention on
your desired ideals.
•
You can claim and appropriate what you desire by imagining that you already
possess it.
•
Your thoughts and beliefs about yourself shape your reality.
•
Obedience to the law of assumption, or the power of imagination and belief,
determines your experiences in life.
•
By renouncing negative thoughts and focusing on your desired goals, you can
change your concept of yourself and thereby change your future.
•
The process of renunciation involves relinquishing attachments to material
possessions and ego.
•
The ultimate goal of renunciation is to discover and unite with the higher self.
•
The concept you have of yourself determines your life.
•
To change your life, you must change your concept of yourself.
•
This can be achieved through the use of imagination and attention.
•
Attention can be attracted from the outside or directed from within.
•
To control your future, you must learn to direct your attention subjectively.
•
This can be achieved through the task of deliberately withdrawing attention from
the objective world and focusing it subjectively.
•
Once you have control over the movements of your attention in the subjective
world, you are in control of your fate.
•
You should not accept the dominance of outside conditions or circumstances, but
rather change them through the use of imagination and attention.
•
This process requires renunciation of negative thoughts and feelings and the
assumption of positive ones.
•
The key to success is persistence in the use of imagination and attention.
•
The principle of "Least Action" states that to move from one state to another, a
minimum of energy and time must be used.
•
The psychological equivalent of "Least Action" is an assumption, which works by
means of attention, minus the effort.
•
Assumptions have the power of objective realization and every event in the visible
world is the result of an assumption or idea in the unseen world.
•
The future becomes the present in your mind when you imagine that you already
are what you will be when your assumption is fulfilled.
•
The Immaculate Conception is the birth of an idea in your own consciousness,
unaided by another.
•
The Assumption is the highest use of consciousness when you assume the feeling of
the wish is fulfilled and it becomes actual fact.
•
The natural and only way to lift yourself up to the level of your assumption is by
feeling it, not by striving or struggling.
•
To change your future, you must change your assumption, which will then guide all
your conscious and subconscious movements toward its suggested end.
•
The principle of "Least Action" (using the minimum of energy and time) governs the
journey from one state of consciousness to another.
•
The psychological equivalent of "Least Action" is an assumption, which works
through attention and without effort.
•
Your desired state already exists but is excluded from view. An assumption brings it
into sight by changing your perspective.
•
Assumptions have the power of objective realization and events in the visible world
are the result of assumptions in the unseen world.
•
Control and concentration of attention are necessary to modify or alter your life.
•
Attention can be attracted from without or directed from within.
•
The present moment is the only time when assumptions can be controlled.
•
To assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled is to mentally lift oneself to a higher level.
•
To achieve a desired state, one must persist in the assumption and be a "doer of the
work".
•
Essential points for the successful use of the law of assumption include intense
desire, the mainspring of action, and the intention to succeed.
•
To achieve a desired state, one must identify with it and transform oneself into it.
•
Righteousness is the consciousness of already being what you want to be.
•
Sin means not attaining your desire or not being the person you want to be.
•
Righteousness is the only way to be saved from sin.
•
It is a mistake to focus on things rather than on the consciousness of already having
them.
•
The kingdom of God is within you and righteousness is the awareness that you
already possess it all.
•
There is no free will to do anything except assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
•
Everything happens automatically based on your assumptions, whether conscious or
unconscious.
•
The law of assumption operates automatically, without any effort on your part.
•
Righteousness is not attained through religion, good deeds, or moral behavior.
•
The only thing necessary to make the law of assumption work is to feel the wish
fulfilled with all your heart.
•
The principle of persistence, or continuing in the assumption of the wish fulfilled, is
essential for the successful use of the law of assumption.
•
Persistence is demonstrated in the parables of Jacob seeking a blessing, the
Shunammite seeking help from Elisha, and the widow seeking help from a judge.
•
To pray means to give thanks for already having what you desire.
•
Persistence in the assumption of the wish fulfilled causes subtle changes in the mind
that result in the desired change in life.
•
Other people in the world will respond in harmony with persistent assumptions,
rather than being reluctant or resistant.
•
A maintained attitude of the wish fulfilled, rather than a single isolated act, is
necessary for the effective use of the law of assumption.
•
Frequent assumption of the feeling of the wish fulfilled, rather than the length of
time, helps to make it a natural and maintained attitude.
•
The law of assumption can be compared to a mathematical equation, where
persistence in the assumption of the wish fulfilled is the constant factor.
•
The law of assumption can also be compared to a seed, which needs the constant
factors of warmth, moisture, and air to grow and bear fruit.
•
Persistence in the assumption of the wish fulfilled leads to the realization of the
desire, and the end of yearning.
•
Failure in the use of the law of assumption can be attributed to a lack of feeling of
naturalness about the desired outcome.
•
This feeling of naturalness can be achieved through persistent imagination,
envisioning oneself already being or having what is desired.
•
Success or failure in attaining a desired outcome is solely determined by one's own
state of consciousness.
•
If an assumption is not fulfilled, it is due to an error or weakness in consciousness
that can be overcome.
•
The time it takes for an assumption to become reality is proportional to the
naturalness of being it.
•
Man's outer world is a reflection of his inner world and thoughts.
•
The law of assumption is a universal law that can be applied to any desire.
•
The use of the law of assumption requires persistence, faith, and a feeling of
naturalness.
•
Destiny is the inevitable experience one must face and is influenced by one's own
consciousness.
•
It is possible to consciously create one's own destiny by understanding the causes
of one's experiences and the power of consciousness.
•
The study of the law of assumption is key to achieving the highest level of destiny.
•
One's true self is the consciousness that knows one's identity, and it is the
foundation of the law of assumption and the basis for feelings of reverence and
worship.
•
The deepest feelings, including those of reverence and worship, are often the most
difficult to express.
•
The unconditioned awareness of being becomes conditioned by imagining itself to
be something, and becomes that which it had imagined itself to be, which is how
creation begins.
•
All things evolve out of Nothing through the process of first conceiving and then
becoming that which is conceived.
•
The formless awareness of being, also known as I AM, is the eternal No-thingness
that contains the capacity to be all things and is the source of all conceptions of self.
•
I AM is the law of being and transcends all conceptions of itself by believing itself to
be that which does transcend.
•
Man has the power to decree a thing and it will come to pass because every man
automatically expresses that which he is conscious of being.
•
The Bible is a psychological drama representing the consciousness of man and God,
or the awareness of being, which is revealed throughout its literature.
•
To be conscious of being something is to express and bring it into manifestation.
•
Man's awareness of being is always expressing itself and manifesting itself in the
world.
•
Man's level of consciousness determines what he expresses and manifests in the
world.
•
Man can change his level of consciousness and therefore change what he expresses
and manifests in the world through the power of assumption.
•
The truth that sets people free is the knowledge that their consciousness is the
resurrection and the life, and that their consciousness both resurrects and makes
alive all that they are conscious of being.
•
The consciousness of being is not dependent on being anything and it preceded all
conceptions of itself and shall be when all conceptions of itself cease to be.
•
To rise in consciousness to the level of the thing desired and to remain there until
that level becomes one's nature is the way of all seeming miracles.
•
Man always draws into his world that which he is conscious of being.
•
To be reborn, one must drop their current level of consciousness and rise to the
level they desire to express and possess.
•
People cannot serve two opposing states of consciousness at the same time and
must choose which one to focus on.
•
People often lack faith in the simple law of acquiring the consciousness of the thing
they desire because they look at the desired state through the consciousness of
their present limitations.
•
To change one's circumstances, one must first change their consciousness.
•
The truth is that consciousness is the only reality and that everything else is a
product of consciousness.
•
To change one's circumstances, one must first change their words and actions to
align with their desired state.
•
Many people are misled by seeking guidance and direction from pseudo-teachers
and schools that promise initiation into the mysteries.
•
These students will eventually become disillusioned and realize that the only true
Master is the I AM within themselves.
•
The only "ascension" that happens is rising from one level of consciousness to
another, and this is accomplished by claiming and believing that one is expressing a
certain level of consciousness.
•
The only Master is the consciousness within oneself, and this Master is limitless and
eternal.
•
The only way to enlightenment is to turn away from human superstitions and idol
worship and find the truth within oneself.
•
When people give up their belief in a God separate from themselves and recognize
their awareness of being as God, like Jesus and the prophets did, they will transform
their world with the realization that "I and My Father are one" but "My Father is
greater than I."
•
The consciousness of being is not dependent on being anything and preceded all
conceptions of itself and will continue to exist even when all conceptions of itself
cease to be.
•
Jesus discovered the truth that his consciousness was God and that he was
conscious of being the Son bearing witness to God, the Father.
•
To rise in consciousness to the level of the thing desired and remain there until it
becomes one's nature is the way to accomplish seeming miracles.
•
No man can come to Jesus except the Father within him draws him, and Jesus and
the Father are one.
•
If someone is unhappy with their current expression of life, they must be "born
again" or drop their current level of consciousness and rise to the level they desire
to express and possess.
•
One cannot serve two masters or opposing states of consciousness at the same
time.
•
Man often lacks faith in the simple law of expressing what they desire by acquiring
the consciousness of it because they look at the desired state through the
consciousness of their present limitations.
•
There is only one Master, which is God or the "I AM" within oneself.
•
The understanding of God is either incorrect or there is something wrong with how
man teaches about God.
•
To pure people, all things are pure.
•
Man's consciousness is the only reality and objectified things are different states of
consciousness.
•
Man's conception of himself determines what he sees in the world.
•
All things are made by God and of God.
•
God is one and commands Himself to be the seeming other because there is no
other.
•
To command effectively, one must command oneself to be what one wants to
appear.
•
God is present in everyone's consciousness and one can become conscious of God
by identifying with their consciousness.
•
To change one's manifestation, one must change their conception of themselves.
•
To understand and experience the truth, one must turn their attention inward and
become conscious of their true self.
•
The belief in powers outside oneself will prevent one from recognizing one's power.
•
Belief in external things gives those things power while taking power away from
oneself.
•
The Kingdom of Heaven can only be entered when one is relieved of false beliefs.
•
All outward appearances are simply externalized states of mind.
•
Forgiveness is necessary because all people are expressing what they believe
themselves to be.
•
Claiming oneself to be what one desire can bring about change and freedom.
•
The power within oneself is greater than any external power.
•
The true self is identified as the "I AM," and recognizing this allows one to overcome
any obstacle.
•
Belief in powers outside of oneself, whether for good or evil, becomes the mold for
the graven image worshipped.
•
The belief in external things, like drugs or money, are the values that must be
thrown out in order to manifest true qualities.
•
Man-made laws, opinions, and beliefs do not have real authority.
•
All outward appearances are states of mind externalized.
•
Forgiveness of others is necessary because they are expressing what they are
conscious of being.
•
The foundation of all expression is consciousness.
•
The world is a reflection of one's consciousness objectified.
•
Changing one's conception of oneself is the key to changing the reflection in the
world.
•
The feeling of satisfaction or fulfillment in response to a self-question is the Father’s
state of consciousness, the foundation upon which change is built.
•
This feeling may take a moment or a year to become properly conditioned and
integrated.
•
It is important to follow the teachings of Jesus and not look back on one's
problems.
•
In order to manifest change, one must first feel the change in the present moment.
•
The law of the universe is that man receives multiplied a hundredfold that which he
is aware of being, and all things gravitate to that consciousness with which they are
in tune.
•
The virgin birth of Jesus is a psychological drama symbolizing the potential for man
to give birth to new ideas without the need for external help or resources.
•
The story of the three wise men represents the threefold nature of man: body, mind,
and spirit, and the gifts they bring represent the three aspects of consciousness:
love, wisdom, and power.
•
The story of the birth of Jesus in a manger symbolizes the potential for man to give
birth to new ideas in humble and unassuming circumstances.
•
The story of the shepherds visiting the newborn Jesus represents the idea that the
message of Christ is for all people, regardless of their social status.
•
The Christmas story as a whole represents the potential for man to give birth to new
ideas and to recognize and express the Christ consciousness within himself.
•
The birth of Jesus symbolizes the moment when a person discovers their
consciousness to be the source of their world and the source of their selfexpression.
•
Christmas is celebrated on December 25th because it represents the time when a
person discovers their true self and begins to claim and define themselves as they
desire to be.
•
The resurrection and the crucifixion are not fixed dates and are not about the death
and resurrection of a physical person, but rather symbolize the movement of the
sun and the moon and how they affect a person's consciousness.
•
The resurrection occurs when a person discovers their true identity as their
consciousness and the crucifixion occurs when they let go of their false identity and
the limitations it imposes on them.
•
The resurrection and the crucifixion are ongoing processes and can be experienced
multiple times throughout a person's life.
•
The resurrection is the moment when a person realizes their true identity and the
limitless potential it brings, while the crucifixion is the moment when they let go of
their false identity and the limitations it imposes on them.
•
Determining desires by need allows for the automatic fulfillment of those needs.
•
Every desire is the knock of the savior at the door of consciousness.
•
Physical circumcision is not related to spiritual circumcision, which is the removal of
the veil that hides the head of creation (awareness of being).
•
To perform spiritual circumcision, one must cut away the adhesions of race,
nationality, and family, and recognize that in Christ there is no distinction between
these identities.
•
The spiritual act of circumcision allows for the revelation of the eternal self, or the
awareness of being.
•
To perform this act, one must be willing to let go of the old self and all attachments
to the material world.
•
The reward for performing this act is the realization of the Christ self and the
attainment of eternal life.
•
Man's consciousness is the Sun of his life, radiating images on the screen of space
that are projections of his inner light.
•
When a man discovers his consciousness to be God, he becomes the sun in its
northern passage, stimulating hidden desires and ambitions into birth.
•
The mystery of the crucifixion and resurrection is symbolized in the rituals of Good
Friday and Easter, which represent the sun's passage across the equator.
•
Circumcision is the operation that removes the veil that hides the head of creation,
the unconditioned awareness of being called God.
•
The trinity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit represents the
receptive, pressing, and expressive aspects of God's unconditioned awareness.
•
Man's prayers are only answered when he assumes the consciousness of the thing
desired and appropriates it through fixation and feeling.
•
The twelve disciples represent the twelve qualities of mind that can be controlled
and disciplined by man, including hearing, faith, and understanding.
•
The first day of the week, Sunday, represents the day of resurrection and the
realization of defined desires.
•
The three days between Wednesday and Sunday represent the interval between the
conception of an idea and its realization.
•
The two thieves on the cross represent the negative and positive aspects of man's
consciousness, with the negative being crucified and the positive being resurrected.
•
"Born again" means to detach from one's current conception of oneself and assume
the consciousness of that which one desires to be.
•
Judas, often thought of as a traitor, represents the act of detachment from one's
current self-conception.
•
The world is an ocean of liquid light containing all things, including man, as bodies
within it.
•
The story of the Flood in the Bible represents man's current state of being
inundated in an ocean of light.
•
Man's ideas, or "doves," can find "dry land" or realization when he becomes fully
identified with his desire.
•
The world is made of crystallized liquid light, with different expressions or velocities
of this substance resulting from the conceiver's desire to know themselves.
•
The breath of life is the initial velocity of the universe, and physical death is the
cessation of this velocity.
•
The body is a machine that can be kept in good working order through correct
thinking and the realization of one's desires.
•
The resurrection of the body is the realization of one's desires and the embodiment
of them.
•
One must enter a new state of consciousness to create a new heaven and a new
earth.
•
In order to manifest one's desires, they must be sought in consciousness and
claimed and appropriated.
•
To catch big fish (manifestations), one must enter deeper and freer states of
consciousness.
•
To fish successfully, one must decide what they want, remove their attention from
the problem, and place it on just being, then claim and feel themselves to have their
desired manifestation.
•
The conviction that one has manifested their desire is signaled by a feeling of
expansion.
•
To maintain the manifestation, one must continue to feel and claim it as their own,
and not allow doubts or negative thoughts to enter their consciousness.
•
The conscious realization and embodiment of one's desires will lead to the
resurrection of one's body.
•
The story of "Count of Monte Cristo" by Dumas is the biography of every man.
•
The story follows the character Edmond Dantés, a young sailor who finds the
captain of his ship dead and takes command of the ship during a storm.
•
Dantés is arrested and imprisoned in the catacombs by three men who fear change
and wish to maintain their positions in the government.
•
Dantés discovers an old priest who has been imprisoned for an unknown amount of
time and the old priest instructs Dantés in the mysteries of life and helps him
escape.
•
The old priest dies and Dantés, using the knowledge and wealth he has gained, sets
out to seek revenge on those who wronged him.
•
Dantés becomes the Count of Monte Cristo and eventually achieves his revenge, but
realizes the emptiness of his actions and returns to his true identity as a divine
being.
•
The process of creation begins when a person contemplates being and possessing
what they desire.
•
When a person feels and claims to be what they formerly desired to be, the desire
passes and is realized.
•
The receptive attitude of the mind is the fertile ground for the seed (defined
objective) to grow.
•
The seed grows into the likeness of the person from whom it was pressed.
•
The conscious state in which a person lives is the mother of their children, and their
visible world is a reflection of that state.
•
The mystic carefully selects their conscious state and claims to be their highest ideal.
•
Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane with his disciples (disciplined mind) to lose
himself in joy and press out the seeds of his desire.
•
To press out seeds, a person must feel and claim to be the thing desired with a joy
that is beyond their wildest dreams.
•
The pressed-out seeds will grow and mature, eventually expressing conditions in the
person's environment.
•
The mystic remains faithful to their defined objective by defining and claiming to be
what they desire to express.
