The Art of Love: Create your Reality | Neville Goddard via FIFTY8

FIFTY8 / THE ART OF LOVE - Create Your Reality / Neville Goddard

The part you play on the world's stage is determined by your conception of yourself.

Imagination is the only redemptive power in the universe.

If man's concept of himself were different, everything in his world would be different.

The world cannot change until you change your conception of it.

You have nothing to do but convince yourself of the truth of that which you desire to see manifested.

The reason lies in the fact that consciousness is the one and only reality, it is the first and only cause-substance of the phenomena of life.

It is to consciousness you must turn, for it is the only foundation on which the phenomena of life can be explained. If your consciousness is the only reality, it must also be the only substance.

Consequently, what appears to you as circumstances, conditions and even material objects is really only the product of your own consciousness. Nature, then, as a thing or a complex of things external to your mind, must be rejected. You and your environment cannot be regarded as existing separately.

You and your world are one.

Therefore, you must turn from the objective appearance of things to the subjective center of things, your consciousness, if you truly desire to know the cause of the phenomena of life, and how to use this knowledge to realize your fondest dreams.

This great discovery of cause reveals that, good or bad, man is actually the arbiter of his own fate, and that it is his concept of himself that determines the world in which he lives [and his concept of himself is his reactions to life].

This principle governs every aspect of your life, be it social, financial, intellectual, or spiritual.

I AM is that reality to which, whatever happens, we must turn for an explanation of the phenomena of life.

It is I AM's concept of itself that determines the form and scenery of its existence.

IT IS only by a change of consciousness, by actually changing your concept of yourself, that you can "build more stately mansions"– the manifestations of higher and higher concepts. (By manifesting is meant experiencing the results of these concepts in your world.)

It is of vital importance to understand clearly just what consciousness is. In the midst of the apparent contradictions, antagonisms and contrasts of your life, there is only one principle at work, only your consciousness operating. Difference does not consist in variety of substance, but in variety of arrangement of the same cause-substance, your consciousness.

Health, wealth, beauty and genius are not created; they are only manifested by the arrangement of your mind – that is, by your concept of yourself [and your concept of yourself is all that you accept and consent to as true. What you consent to can only be discovered by an uncritical observation of your reactions to life.

Your reactions reveal where you live psychologically; and where you live psychologically determines how you live here in the outer visible world.

The importance of this in your daily life should be immediately apparent.

The basic nature of the primal cause is consciousness. Therefore, the ultimate substance of all things is consciousness.

All that befalls a man – all that is done by him, all that comes from him – happens as a result of his state of consciousness.

A man's consciousness is all that he thinks and desires and loves, all that he believes is true and consents to.

That is why a change of consciousness is necessary before you can change your outer world.

To be transformed, the whole basis of your thoughts must change.

But your thoughts cannot change unless you have new ideas, for you think from your ideas.

All transformation begins with an intense, burning desire to be transformed.

The first step in the "renewing of the mind" is desire.

You must want to be different [and intend to be] before you can begin to change yourself.

Then you must make your future dream a present fact.

You do this by assuming the feeling of your wish fulfilled.

By desiring to be other than what you are, you can create an ideal of the person you want to be and assume that you are already that person.

If this assumption is persisted in until it becomes your dominant feeling, the attainment of your ideal is inevitable.

Therefore, your attitude should be one in which having desired to express a higher state – you alone accept the task of incarnating this new and greater value of yourself.

This is what wholeness means, what integrity means.

Your imagination is the instrument, the means, whereby your redemption from slavery, sickness, and poverty is effected.

If you refuse to assume the responsibility of the incarnation of a new and higher concept of yourself, then you reject the means, the only means, whereby your redemption – that is, the attainment of your ideal – can be effected.

Everything depends on your attitude towards yourself.

You must assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled until your assumption has all the sensory vividness of reality.

To become the master of your assumptions is the key to undreamed-of freedom and happiness.

You can attain this mastery by deliberate conscious control of your imagination.

You must stop spending your thoughts, your time and your money.

Everything in life must be an investment of pure imagination.

When you can call up at will whatsoever image you please, when the forms of your imagination are as vivid to you as the forms of nature, you are master of your fate.

Your imagination is you yourself, and the world as your imagination sees it is the real world.

Night after night, just before you drift off to sleep, strive to hold your attention on the activities of the day in reverse order.

Focus your attention on the last thing you did, that is, getting in to bed, and then move it backward in time over the events until you reach the first event of the day, getting out of bed.

This is no easy exercise, but just as specific exercises greatly help in developing specific muscles, this will greatly help in developing the "muscle" of your attention. Your attention must be developed, controlled, and concentrated in order to change your concept of yourself successfully and thereby change your future.

When you attain control of the internal direction of your attention, you will no longer stand in shallow water, but will launch out into the deep of life.

When you resist evil, you give it your attention; you continue to make it real.

When you renounce evil, you take your attention from it and give your attention to what you want.

In order to intelligently operate the law of consciousness it is necessary to understand the relationship between the conscious and the subconscious.

The conscious is personal and selective; the subconscious is impersonal and non-selective.

The conscious is the realm of effect; the subconscious is the realm of cause.

These two aspects are the male and female divisions of consciousness.

The conscious is male; the subconscious is female.

The conscious generates ideas and impresses these ideas on the subconscious; the subconscious receives ideas and gives form and expression to them.

Therefore, through his power to imagine and feel and his freedom to choose the idea he will entertain, man has control over creation.

Control of the subconscious is accomplished through control of your ideas and feelings.
