Neville's Teachings and The Promise

You and I are the awareness that has dreamt itself to be a sense of self. What does this mean? It means that you are the one who gives power to the mental narratives that you've once occupied as factual. This ego identity. It was never truly us and that is the beautiful realization I've gained from applying Neville's work.

Neville Goddard is and always will be a mental identity that was being constructed by the awareness that is in you, in me, and in everyone else. He knew about that and thus he felt compelled to share the visions he experienced as a result of knowing himself to have been human imagination. And that's what makes his work brilliant.

Many people read Neville's work and think of him as a law of assumption teacher. I would argue he was more than that. He was biblical when it came to his teachings and he wanted to decipher the symbolic meaning of the Bible. So much so that he interpreted Jesus Christ to be the human imagination. The consciousness that sustains all experiences mankind has. He called that christ.

Towards the end of his teachings he no longer had a desire to teach how to "manifest". Instead, Neville was so passionate about speaking of the awakening. A great awakening. He called it The Promise. This is where the individual realizes themselves to be a spiritual being that is occupying mental narratives and stories about the Self.

Adam, Eve, Jake, Edward, Chris, Tony. These are all mental representations the human imagination uses to make sense of this world. They don't exist on a fundamental level because the "I" that is in these states of self cease to exist when the awareness is present. Neville called that God. And he believed that this unfolding process will happen to everyone. No one is an exception because it is all the human imagination doing it.

So, the point of this post? Similar to Neville's teachings and how they often manifested as a result of him having visions that went beyond ordinary sensory experience, put your faith and trust in the unfolding process. We may desire objects in the moment which is fine, but eventually there will come a point in life where you no longer feel satisfied. You will want to know who and what God is.

The day will come where you will only desire one thing and one thing alone - to know God. When that moment happens and it will, you will be revealed within yourself to be the human imagination expressing itself. This spaciousness awareness or consciousness, if you will. That's who Neville was pointing to and speaking towards when he spoke about The Promise. He wanted to reach the deepest depths of ourselves. He certainly spoke to mine.

Allow this post to act as a reminder that this work is more than obtaining items. It's more than simply changing the world. It's an act of awakening. It's self enquiry. Self-realization, self-awareness of oneself. Whatever you want to call it. Don't get too tangled up on the words or names. Meditate on the implication of Neville's work. When he talks about The Promise, really sit down and reflect on the implication.

I genuinely hope you gain a new and deeper understanding on Neville and what he was trying to convey towards the end of his teaching. Don't think you're here to constantly desire things and then fulfill them only to have more things to desire. Or that you are here to obtain some position in society. It goes much deeper than that. It's truly an awakening that happens inside the individual. That is the promise.

Thank you Neville and thank you if you've made it this far. Everything is going to work out beautifully. It already has. We're simply going along with the ride and we will make it to higher and greater perceptions of ourselves. I truly believe that. We are the purity, the fulfillment, and the love that we seek. Embrace that and embody that realization.

No finger lifted

Imagining in fulfillment requires no effort on your end. We are told to believe I have relieved it and I will. There are no conditions or requirements needed to assume these positions. You truly are the operant power here. But if we continue getting caught up with the past and what the world is reflecting then yeah. You will struggle to imagine already having received it. So don't.

Let go of the past. It was at one point an imaginal act that you were occupying. It had to reap itself because imagination creates reality. Imagine if you already are occupied in having your desires then. If what you are now feeling and hearing the things that are in alignment with your desire being fulfilled, persist and it shall become so.

Don't be hard on yourself. You don't have to pop a muscle to imagine already being that person who has received it. The imagination that is in you has already fulfilled it. It is us who gets in the way. But you are the cause of everything within you. No need to cause fears and doubts that lead to your past becoming a reality.

So start now in thinking from the position that you are desiring. Start being that person now. Walk in knowing that what you are imagining and hearing internally is true now. Even if your world is contradicting it. Persist in your imaginal acts being a fact and eventually it will come to pass into this world.

(Sorry for the repost. The ModTeam assumed I was asking a question and so, I reworded things while keeping the message the same. I hope this helped.)

Embody it NOW

>"Because of your belief in external things you think power into them by transferring the power that you are to the external thing. Realize you yourself are the power you have mistakenly given to outer conditions." – Neville Goddard

There is no power outside you. You are truly the one being here dreaming up this entire drama. And so, you are ultimately responsible for the circumstances you've placed yourself in.

> "To reach a higher level of being, you must assume a higher concept of yourself. To desire a state is to have it. “I AM” (your true self) is not interested in man’s opinion. … Your true self, will cause these conceptions to appear in your world and you will live with them as though they are real.” – Neville Goddard

I want you to start feeling powerful. See yourself as the king or queen of reality. Become the operant power here. Make yourself the one who commands without lifting fingers. Feel yourself to be confident and worthy. Feel yourself to be brilliant. Feel yourself to be loved and worshipped without anyone's approval.

These things are already yours. They are waiting to be accepted and embodied without conditions or aid of another. It is truly yourself who identifies with certain traits. You are the ruler of your mind here. No one else. So put your divine crown on and see your harvest already being planted.

It comes back to Self

There is no one or nothing to change but self. Why is that? Because there is no one here but consciousness. So if we wish to see a change in our lives, we must see ourselves as the only being there is.

Don't fight with reality. It is only a living mirror revealing to you the concepts you've identified yourself with. Realize yourself to be consciousness and restructure how you are conceiving yourself to be at this current moment.

Then have full trust in knowing that the mirror will, inevitably, change and conform to this new state of consciousness that you've conceived yourself to be. That is all one has to do to see a change in their world.

A message of Faith and Hope

I don't know how your past experiences have been. They could've been delightful or they could've been dreadful. I want you to know something, though. No matter how dark your world may have been, you are ultimately the one who will conquer these things. You mold your world with the contents being within consciousness.

We are creating 24/7. One mustn't give up in utilizing this imaginal power called consciousness to turn dreams into reality. What was done can be undone and vice versa. You will overcome your own mental limitations through the process of transitioning from an outward being to inward.

You are the one creator here. I mean that. Everyone in this entire world is a dreamer. Everyone is occupying a mental state of consciousness which influences our perceptions of reality. That includes you. Neville grasped this realization and added biblical meanings to help those recognize who and what God is.

We are told that God's name is "I AM". That is not an affirmation nor is it a imaginal act. It is who you truly are. Not those fears or doubts that tell you things that frighten you or leave you feeling powerlessness. You are beyond these things. I really mean that.

It's all going to be okay. Be gentle with yourself and learn to fall into already being the person who has everything their beautiful and precious heart could ever want. God which is consciousness clothed in the flesh loves you enough to fulfill these things.

So the teachings is less about controlling things. Its less about remolding the world. These teachings are moreso about remembering who we truly are inside. Are we simply a human being that has to live in desiring things? Or are we the being that has fallen asleep into mental states of consciousness?

Regardless of what response comes to mind, you will awaken to this truth. You will recognize yourself to be this marvelous being that is aware of endless abundance. Awareness, faith and love are not things you need to embody. They're apart of who you are inside.

I'm rooting for everyone to conquer their nightmares and transform from the inside-out so that their world can become one of glory, peace, and love. Love is going to redeem you from fears and doubts of the past. Embrace that and know that its all going to be okay.

Thank you guys for reading this.

Disregard senses through acceptance in your wish fulfilled

We are the imagination that has fallen into the image of man. But man who is truly all imagination will inevitably hit an obstacle in their lives. It might make you feel powerless. But you are the imagination. You are the unconditional consciousness which overcome any obstacles. Every obstacle is but an expression of what you've held within consciousness. So the power is truly at your hands.

For us to experience long-term fulfillment, one should disregard the senses and go within to their imagination as the only reality. That reality is boundless and only can be experienced in present-tense. That is our heavenly father who fulfills our hearts with grace. But you must embody that realization by letting go of the senses.

You genuinely are capable of overcoming anything that you've once perceived as an obstacle. You are one with the creator. There is no other one can go to for these desires to be fulfilled. So let go of being enslaved by the senses and turn to your one creator which is the imagination.

When you start to feel a present-tense awareness of being, you've found your heavenly father that is I AM. No longer will you say "I will be" or "I shall be". You already are that being. Now persist in this present-tense awareness of being and have full trust in your father that your desires will come to pass.

God dreamt to be man so that man may dream to be God. Take these words as your own and walk in this understanding and knowing that your life is working in harmony with your inner-nature.

Imagination as Fullfillment itself

Whenever we go to imagine, we must ask ourselves what it is that we are seeking. Is it something lovely? Do we feel having it would make us feel great? If so, embrace the answer without judgement. Recognize that what we are ultimately seeking is fulfillment.

Fulfillment is not something to be found outside oneself. It is not based on the circumstances nor the desires that we believe are required to be accomplished through techniques (although there is nothing wrong with that). Fulfillment is ultimately you.

When I say "you" I am not speaking to your body or organs. I am not speaking of this person you've identified yourself as. I am speaking to the imaginal you. The one who is dreaming up stories about itself. The one who can dream up nightmares and dream up heavens. Start dreaming up heavens.

What is fulfilling is rewarding and to feel rewarded is to feel something lovely. So start imagining being something you would love to be. Start to embody being what you love now. I wholeheartedly believe that what we are ultimately seeking for in life is love.

In the end, we are being shaped into love. Love is truly fulfilling if we recognize it to be ourselves. When you strip away all the labels, judgements and prejudices that you may have casted upon yourself and the seemingly other, you will come to feel a sense of awareness and intense clarity of mind.

This feeling of expansion beyond the senses and sharpened awareness is not something to be afraid of. It is the experience of the wish fulfilled. That is the self that Neville points to later in his teachings as his idea of self expanded.

It may take some time to harness this sense of self, but I do believe it will help if you come to accept these words to be true. The deepest depths of you. It wants to embrace itself. So start embracing every aspect of yourself now. Start viewing and conceiving yourself at a much higher and clear perception.

Everything else in this world is simply the imagination conceiving itself in different perceptions. It doesn't judge off the senses then because it knows itself to be the fundamental reality. This unconditional awareness that is in you and in me. It's in every single being. So never judge yourself or anyone.

You can judge others if you want to, sure, but if you come to believing yourself to be the cause of all things, you will find it difficult to view others in a negative light. You've really only done that towards yourself because we are all the imagination clothed in flesh.

Imagination is an instrument. It gives us the ability to harvest nightmares and heavens. To imagine good and bad. But why choose bad? Why not go to what you truly want which is lovely and harmonious. It's not really about good or bad. These are just dualities we've made as a perceptual reality through identifying with the senses.

So in the end choose to embody yourself to be something you love. I truly believe that if you start imagining yourself to be something you wholeheartedly love, without casting more judgements upon yourself and others, you will come to see your dreams turning into reality faster than you’ve once thought.

That's my message to you. To choose love. No matter how difficult or dark your inner-world may seem, redeem it with love. Forgive yourself for having casted unlovingly ideas about yourself. And redeem everything inside yourself without conditions. With full acceptance.

If you can do that, you will come to experience the fulfillment itself. You will become fulfillment. You will embrace yourself as pure perception. All imagination. Then you will see life unfold in harmony with who you've always been inside. That is someone who is loved beyond conditions. It is your very self.

Thank you.

Beyond time and space

We are beyond time and space. And we are the one who sheds away the judgements and prejudices through self-realization. Being a witness to the activity that one is doing within. That is the journey of expansion. We don't truly expand in the spiritual sense, though, because we are utterly complete and whole.

It feels like an expansion only because we've taken upon mental states of consciousness as if they were fact. And that's part of this drama that is unfolding right now. That God dreamt to be humanity so that humanity may dream to be God. So that in the end there is only one being, deceiving itself with the illusory experience of duality.

While we are still here taking shape of what appears to be a physical body that is restricted to organs and these five senses, take care of it. Brush its teeth, fulfill its hunger, bathe them, fulfill their little desires, and love them as if this very moment is all that exists.

Let this human being know that regardless of how difficult or hard a moment may appear to be, they will be okay. That they are allowed to experience fulfillment regardless of circumstances and that they are going to conquer both mental and physical obstacles.

Remember, we are the inner-man. The imagination. We find it difficult to realize that only because we've deceived ourselves with the senses. Neville called that Esau which is the sense man and Jacob as the imagination.

One must identify as Jacob by no longer identifying with the senses. Esau which is the senses will eventually obey and mimick Jacob who is the inner-man. So start being the one you desire to be now. There's no other moment but now to imagine fulfillment.

Imagination is Everything

To understand imagination one must let go of identifying with the senses. You can look at what appears as the outside and think about all kinds of things that you see. Imagination doesn't work that way. It doesn't see things the way you and I do. This organ perception must be let go of when one goes to imagine fulfillment.

The imagination is you. When I say you I am not talking to your organs but to the one that is absorbing these words. The awareness that is reading this. That is imagination. And it doesn't obey the senses. It doesn't seem to care about the outside world. It's when we occupy the senses that we feel a lack of this presence.

But you are imagination that has clothed itself with the flesh. If we take this into consideration and accept it as factual then would it make sense to look outside for evidence on what you've entertained within yourself? Of course not. You prove to yourself that it is done and walk trusting that it already has happened.

Regardless of the senses. Regardless of what someone told you. Regardless of what you've experienced. Perhaps someone told you something that you didn't like. Maybe they're someone you love and want to be with. So what? Are you going to constantly look at the world to dictate how you should feel and perceive yourself?

This work isn't about changing and remolding things. You might say "that makes no sense because I am manifesting this!". Imagination is reality. What cannot be here that already isn't? Think about this. If imagination is reality then what is there that can be lacked? One must realize that they've fallen into the world of separation.

When we think with fears and doubt, we have placed ourselves into separation. When we think with confidence and faith in oneself, we are living in love. And love is something that is already yours. It is not something dependent on the circumstances. The world can try to imprison you but if you remain faithful to your imagination, you start to perceive yourself as free and then you become free in the world.

The biggest lie is believing in second causes. This world of imagination is all molded by the same substance. That means the fear and doubts stem from the source that contains freedom and love and peace and confidence. These aren't things one has to do. You aren't a beggar. You may have had a moment where you perceived yourself as one. Where you felt small. But you aren't that.

I know what it's like to feel small. I understand what it's like to feel a world that is crumbling. At one point I had felt a tremendous feeling of despair. I thought to myself "What's the point if I'm going to continue experiencing more losses in my life?". I genuinely thought of myself as weak and powerless. And I realized how much of a lie that was. How much I have deceived myself.

Once I realized that there are no second causes, I surrendered. I allowed this mental identity to be let go of and became one with the imagination. Think of imagination as the cause and effect. It may have been used to dream nightmares and feelings of separation and powerless. But that's not really what imagination wants. The imagination which is YOU is already complete.

What can I imagine that doesn't already exist? You can imagine anything. So what should one imagine then? Imagine something that you love. Love itself is a power. It's powerful. You can see it as the imagination telling this ego identity you've created in the mind, to come to me. Come to me and trust that what is unseen will become seen.

Trust now in imagination. That is your God. That is the only thing you seek. It was never about the outside. The world of Caesar as Neville called it is simply a mirror conforming to what one has conceived themselves to be. You may have conceived yourself to be a fragile being that is small and has to control everything. But imagination doesn't do that.

Imagination doesn't question whether something is possible or not. It doesn't judge off the senses. That's the wonderful news. It doesn't judge based off what happened in the past. It doesn't say "Well I grew up being called ugly and useless. I must be that". Not at all. Imagination loves you for the sake of you existing.

No one is truly ugly or useless. No one is unworthy or undeserving. Everyone is the imagination in 8 billion bodies. That includes you. And so imagination became you. You can't be worthy or unworthy of anything then. So start imagining things you love now. Start becoming the thing you've been seeking. Embody the love and validation you've been wanting others to give you.

Imagination is God who dreamt to be man so that man may dream to be God. Take those words carefully and accept them as fact. There's no time to judge yourself. Don't do that. You're misusing imagination when you bar yourself. Don't bar yourself and don't bar anyone. Everyone is the same on a deeper level. There is no such thing as separation. There is only love and fulfillment.

The light and beauty is in each and every one of us. It was in Neville, it's in me and it's in you. So don't go for searching outside oneself. You're complete. Genuinely, you are. But you have to surrender. You truly have to surrender. I mean that. Let go of occupying the senses. This outer identity. Let go of it and embrace god. God loves you so, so much. The imagination.

Never feel like you cannot be fulfilled. You're going to conquer the darkness and fears by merging with the imagination. Then you will recognize that the darkness and fears were a result in not trusting the love and unity that is imagination. It's almost too good to be true. But I have found it to be true.

So don't give up on yourself. Give yourself over to imagination. The god within. The awareness in man. Consciousness itself. It doesn't judge by good or bad. It sees itself as whole and complete. Including you because you are one with this marvelous being. Now accept that and allow it to guide the body of man.

Start becoming the things you love now. Love and faith, confidence and assurance, acceptance and forgiveness, gratitude and appreciation for life. These things are apart of you. You're allowed to accept them and embrace them without conditions. And then you will see the beauty and light that is within every single one of us.

Don't Wait

To truly master this law we must come to expressing ourselves as already being the person who has it now. If you think that you have to wait in order to become something, you will be left waiting. It isn't until you recognize that you already received it through acceptance that you realize waiting for it to happen is an illusion.

You already are the person you desire to be. Can you believe that? Neville certainly did. He said that the idea of not being that now is the reason we don't see it. Emphasis on "see it". So he is saying that in order to see that concept of ourselves we must recognize already being it in the mind.

It's a present-tense feeling of being. You can't become that which you already are. You don't go outside oneself to change yourself. We don't need the physical thing first in order to experience a change in our self. The concepts our desired self holds is not found on the outside. And it isn't something in past nor future tense.

So don't go outside yourself for the change you are seeking. The imagination sees it as already being so. The idea that it isn't is simply a misconception because you already have it in imagination. This is good news then since that means every mental condition we perceive as a problem has already been solved.

During my meditation sessions I would observe my mind coming up with ideas as to how I can be that. At that moment, I was not trusting in my imagination. Trusting in imagination means accepting in already having received what I've once desired. It's a change in the concept of self. You want to step into already being that person.

When you find yourself questioning the "when" and "how", go back to already being it now. Now is the only moment for us to change and we change by being it now. You don't have to wait for a future event to happen so you can see the change. The change is internal and it happens in the body first. The body is apart of this reality.

Therefore, searching for something outside oneself is a beautiful indicator as to whether you’re trusting in already being the change you've been seeking. And don't be hard on yourself just for living in lack. No one is ever truly in lack. We've simply fallen into mental conditions that imply we must have something in order to change.

Take time in trusting your imagination. You're not outside of it. You are part of the imagination. The imagination became us so that we may become it. And Neville mentioned that imagination is complete. That includes you because man is all imagination. So take the chance by being the desired-self now.

And if you're struggling with focusing on making the change inside, realize that imagination is a conqueror. It doesn't judge off the senses. That means you are truly allowed and thus qualified to imagine anything your heart wants. That includes forgiveness and love. Imagination loves you enough to grant it.

You are being heard and listened to in the deepest depths of yourself. So don't think what you desire to be or have can't be accepted. That's a lie. You are allowed to accept it. The imagination granted your desire. Now accept that and start being it now. You can do it. You've already done it.

Trusting in Imagination

If imagination is reality...then who am I fighting with to give me my desire? If imagination is reality...then who can I go to for my desires to be fulfilled? If imagination is reality...then I don't have to wrestle with anyone to be a fulfilled being.

Neville's right when he spoke on imagination being reality. That must include the fulfilled self because everything was once imagined. So we don't have to necessarily question our desires or control things. We leave them alone and have trust in what we are imagining.

To have trust in one's imaginal acts means to surrender. That you don't have the answers as to how this must come to express. You eventually have to let go in conditioning your desires and go to full trust in its acceptance of being fulfilled.

Most of the times the issue isn't the thing we desire. It's actually our lack of faith in what we are imagining. Because if imagination is the only reality then we don't necessarily have to do anything. We don't have to condition how it will happen or how all this stuff "works".

Christ says to believe you have received it and it will be yours. That is the imagination speaking to the "sense man". How it is not our job to condition what we desire, but to accept as being the one who has it. We do that by having full trust and faith in it already being so.

So when you go to imagining yourself having the thing that you want, realize that it has to come into this world because it has already happened in the imagination. Let go of controlling things, people, circumstances and go fully in trusting what you've done inside. Then drop it entirely.

And before you know it, as you've placed your full trust and faith onto your imaginal father which is ultimately you, the inner-self, you will come to see your harvest. Then you will walk with full knowing that this whole world was made for you.

Walking with Faith

We want to be faithful to what we've done inside and walk with the knowing that it is the reality now. This requires letting go of what is not in your favor. Things are created by faith in what was once imaginal. You don't argue with yourself whether you can have it or not. That's not walking in faith.

Walking in faith means remaining loyal to what you're being conscious of inside the mind. It's about seeing the senses without being occupied by them. It's about making the inward reality the true and only reality. It's about viewing the entire world of the senses as the effect.

If the senses are an effect then it makes no sense to be paralyzed by them. We will have those moments, sure, but don't become a pawn to it. You are the being who occupies states of consciousness or awareness. These are what get "manifested" out into the experience.

It's our state of mind that brings to fruition what we are experiencing. Knowing that states fulfill themselves, you are allowed to occupy anything your heart desires to experience. You do this by holding onto faith in what you've done inside. No one else has to know what you're being conscious of being inward.

So I ask you to walk and persist in this imaginal act of being now. Make imagination the only reality. Let go of the world and the words that have been spoken. Remember, imagination is the only reality. There is no need to be affected by what is only an effect.

Becoming the person who has already those things is the goal. That is something we do within ourselves. We become the one who has the thing. We manifest who we are being, then. And we do that by being faithful to what we are conscious of being now.

Leave the world alone. Don't change it. Change the self. Self is who we are being right now. What we are consciously aware of being inside the mind. Inside the body. That is the inner-self. We make that the only reality and we persist in making it true through faith.

Do that and eventually you will see what you were conscious of doing inside the mind being expressed. That is all we've been doing. So don't be afraid to trust in your imagination. Everything is reflecting imagination because that's all that is expressed.

You got this. Don't give up on yourself!

What are you expressing?

We are living in a world of mental states being externalized. There's no question about it. When we are occupying thoughts about events that have happened, will happen or can happen, we must recognize that we are entering contemplation in the mind.

If it's in the mind then the choice is ours to decide what we want to entertain inside. No one else holds this power but us.

If we wish to see love and beauty in our lives then we must start becoming conscious of love and beauty. We do that by holding ourselves in that image. And that is something that is done now. It's always now. There is no past or future when we recognize that.

All we have in life is the everlasting present moment. That's where dreams can be experienced. So what are you expressing? Are you happy with that? If not, change it. But not by doing outer acts in hopes that someone on the outside will give you that. Do it inward and bring it to the present moment.

There truly is no moment for us to experience other than now. If that's where we always are then everything else was mental occupation. That's how powerful humanity is. We have the ability to create mental states that appear more real than what actually is.

You can look at the world as it is and see imperfections. You see people doing evil acts. You see poverty. Destruction. But you don't have to replicate that inside yourself. You're allowed to expand beyond the state of the world and create beautiful things. And if you persist in these lovely acts you do inside yourself, it will naturally express itself.

So don't wait to change and don't become a prisoner of other people's judgement. You can't. We are only seeing our own perceptions when we bring our attention back to the present moment. That's where our imagination becomes profound in expressing itself. Why is that? Because you no longer fall into the illusion of seeking. Instead its already done and being experienced.

Remember who you are. It's an act of grounding yourself into the state of wish fulfilled. And that's something that is experienced right now. Not in the past or the future. It's something that is experienced now.

Take care.

Changing how we see ourselves

Neville's teachings are absolutely profound when we understand the premise and that is nothing to change but self. If this is true then we must go about testing it and that starts with self. So we're told to change ourselves. How do we do that? By changing how we experience ourselves in present-tense.

Imagine already being the one who IS fulfilled. It's an act of surrendering to a present-tense version of yourself. We already are that being. We've only fallen into the mental identity of not being. We don't need anything on the outside to change ourselves. It's already been done and ready to be accepted fully.

You don't have to stay stuck or be forced into a state of mind and you don't have to wait for the world to change so that you can change. None of that is required if we realize ourselves to be the BEING that is dwelling in mental states of the self.

Change is an act of mercy, then, because we are redeeming ourselves into a greater perception of the self. And it becomes an act of forgiveness if we realize that we've been creating nightmares inside ourselves. It's self forgiveness because we can have and be ANYTHING we want to be now. It's always going to be this way.

Many of the times we seek for a change in the senses. We look out into the world and see imperfections. We often neglect the BEING that is painting the perceptions of "this isn't good'. But we don't have to necessarily do that. We are allowed to leave the world exactly as it is and change self.

You will find yourself to be the imaginal being that is identifying itself with mental states of consciousness. And because imagination is reality what we are conscious of being WILL externalize itself into the world as evidence. There truly is nothing outside of us to change for us to change and move inside.

So promise yourself TO yourself that you will no longer identify with being someone you no longer want to be. The mind is reflecting how you are feeling about yourself. If that's the case then you are a magnificent creator because there are no limits to what you are imagining as reality now.

Don't shame yourself. Don't guilt yourself. Don't be afraid. Don't suppress ANYTHING. Face everything with acceptance because what is created inside can be changed. If what we feel cannot be changed then we are living in doubt and living as a servant inside the mind. We don't have to do that.

Don't be a servant inside yourself. Recognize that you are the one creating these imaginal acts. All thoughts and feelings are being expressed by the imagination. And Neville said imagination is complete. So we genuinely need NOTHING to change ourselves. You can never be a prisoner when you recognize this.

Changing ourselves is all we need and we need nothing to do this. We need not to go outside oneself to find the change we seek. The world can imprison you and you can feel free. Then you will be free because we are the one having the experience.

Genuinely, I hope you guys experience the things you want. I mean that. I want you to succeed. You don't have to continue occupying states of mind that don't serve you. They may have served a purpose at one point that has now become hectic. Well, CHANGE that. You do that by focusing on changing how you feel about yourself.

This is all a present-tense feeling of being. It will always be that. Change self now and stay firm to this change. Regardless of what the world tells you. Never bar yourself for there are no second causes to what you are occupying within yourself. Remember this and then you will become a master at painting imaginal acts that are in harmony with who you've once desired to be.

Yall be safe now and bless your hearts with total acceptance. You got this. I'm rooting for you. Now apply what Neville taught and feel it to your depths. There is no one or nothing to change but self...and self is all imagination!

Thank you.

Self-Fulfillment as the foundation of Neville's teachings

I've got to be honest guys. It's really incredible how we're creating our own experiences when we allow ourselves to accept the present self. Neville was right when he said that we already are the person we desire to be. We simply fallen into the consciousness of not being that.

Imagination truly is reality. I know this to be the case because I've experienced both sides of the coin. I've occupied states of consciousness that I wasn't happy with. And I've occupied states of consciousness where I was feeling like I've finally found myself.

The goal of Neville's teachings, in my own opinion, is to remember who you are beyond the senses. This whole world is an expression of who we've contemplated ourselves to be. But we don't have to necessarily do anything if we take the teachings of Neville into consideration. We are allowed to become a witness of our own fulfillment.

We are allowed to Imagine anything. Including love and fulfillment itself. You don't have to seek for it OR continue searching for things to fulfill inside. Desires will always come and go. What remains is who we are in those moments. That's important because if you don't know yourself to be the dreamer, you're more likely to occupy unwanted mental states.

The best course of action we can do while we're here is to create beautiful concepts of ourselves. It always starts with ourselves. We don't have to continue living in fear. We are allowed to experience love and beauty and peace and confidence. But you have to give that to yourself. And you can. You absolutely can.

So don't count yourself out when it comes to fulfillment and love. You're absolutely allowed to experience these wonderful things and without the aid of another. You don't need anything to view yourself in loving ways. The way you desire to feel and think about yourself is all up to you. And that's done right now.

(I wrote this out in another community and felt compelled to share here. So thank you if you come across this post and have read it entirely. I wrote it in the moment).

The Change is Within

Remember that this work is about a change in ourselves. It's never about the outside. If you are trying to make a change for something in the external, gently take yourself back to the realization that it's all about changing yourself. You are actually pushing yourself out because all there is in life is you.

We are the conceiver being conceived and so, we give birth to the conceptions we are holding of ourselves. There was never once a moment where we conceived something outside oneself. It's coming from within us and us is to be found on the inside. That is the responsibility that we have.

So it is our responsibility to take ownership over what it is that we are creating in the mind. We do this by letting go of the world. It was never about the world were we to recognize ourselves as the imagination creating reality. If we allow ourselves to recognize this truth, we will naturally feel and view ourselves in a fresh lens.

We push this being that we are from inside to outside, then. When we do this we will discover that the power to create has been within us all this time, and we will come to embrace the fact that we've deceived ourselves with our own imaginative acts. But we are allowed to create something new and if we persist in ourselves, naturally will it be expressed.

So don't worry about the outside and what it is showing you. It only shows you what you are conceiving yourself to be.

Create Beauty in the World 🌎

If you've been reading and applying the teachings for awhile then I'm sure you've come to the contemplation on the ending in the story of imagination. Where we recognize the unity each individual shares with imagining these ideas and conceptions that become molded into the world.

Because we are the imaginal spirit individualized into these bodies, there is no other to turn to for creating movement. And because we are the individualized expression of this being that is occupying mental states, we are all connected in a symbolic manner.

There is no one here who lacks redemption for we've all used our imagination unlovingly at some point. We all have. No one here has went a moment in life without occupying a negative thought. We've all sinned with ourselves by imagining things that do not align with who we wish to be.

But we are still allowed to imagine ANYTHING. That includes beauty and love. We are allowed to experience beauty and love inside and that will express itself into our lives. So we do not have to continue placing ourselves into these mental bondages.

In the end, we are the imagination. The consciousness that is molding itself with imaginative acts. There is no other one needs to go to for redemption, then. It was all a misuse in our imaginal power, which means we can start changing the story we are telling ourselves on the inside.

Because we are the imagination individualized, the story is about the self which is all imagination, as Neville speaks of. Therefore, change the story you are telling of yourself. Begin to see yourself beyond the senses and start to embody greater and more beautiful conceptions of yourself.

And if you allow yourself to persist in occupying these beautiful acts that you are doing inside, it will naturally express itself into the world. Then you will recognize how intimate we are with the world. We ARE the world. So let's create a beautiful world. Heaven on earth. We can do it by changing ourselves inside!

Change the experience you are having inside

When it comes to this work we must recognize it to be a change in ourselves if we wish to succeed in the teachings of this law. Neville said that if you are still desiring, stop it right now. He is telling you that you don't have to continue desiring. We don't have to do that anymore if we know imagination is the only reality.

Imagination doesn't question if you can or can't experience your desire. It unconditionally accepts anything you give awareness to with persistent conviction. So if what we are giving awareness to starts to express itself, all we must do is become aware of already having that now.

When you start to change what you are aware of having, you are changing what you are aware of being now. You can't have something without first being it. The two share an intimate relationship hence Neville stating to change self. That self is the imagination that is conceptualizing itself here.

If you are the imagination then you can start to see yourself as a mental author. You are writing something about yourself. Its a story about yourself, then. So what story are you telling yourself on the inside? This is crucial because it allows you to become aware of what you are consenting towards.

The law, then, is not about worthiness or deserving. And it's not about any other. It's truly about changing how we experience things on the inside. If we can change how we are experiencing things on the inside, it will be expressed. Then we will realize that we've been misusing this imaginal power to create.

We don't have to continue to create nightmares while we are here. We are allowed to create beautiful things and we do that by changing the experiences we are being aware of internally. So don't wait to change. Assume yourself to already being the person who is what they've been desiring.

When you persist in this new experience you are giving towards yourself on the inside, you will realize that the source you've been seeking this entire time had been within you, and you will find that source to be yourself. So surrender to the deepest depths of you and allow it to express unconditionally.

Imagine without limitation

So when we go about applying the teachings of Neville we must recognize ourselves to be in desire. In that moment you want to go from thinking you don't have it or can't become it and change that into accepting yourself already being the person who has what they once were desiring.

We have to let go of the idea in manifesting altogether if we wish to harness the ability of creating whatever it is we desire. If you can allow yourself to gently drop the idea of not having it and begin to see yourself in a new light, you will see changes in yourself and that will express itself.

Man is all imagination. There is no doubt about that. So don't limit yourself into thinking you can't have or be something. You're the inner-self who has identified with states of consciousness. We don't have to continue doing that. You are absolutely allowed to change and embrace fulfillment.

This entire world is a shadow that mirrors the dreamer inside oneself. And the dreamer which is an imaginal being can accept anything it wants because it's the only thing here. So free yourself and expand beyond your previous mental circumstances.

The Power of Detachment and changing Self

Years ago I would think detachment meant no longer wanting the things I was desiring. I realise this wasn't the full case. Detachment is about letting go of the idea in seeking. It is an act of surrendering to the realization that you already are the person who has what they've been seeking. If you can allow yourself to become a victim to that realization then your life will change drastically.

Neville doesn't really get too deep into detachment. He was mainly concerned with faith and trusting in his imagination. I think he genuinely had full conviction in imagination being the true, ultimate reality. And he's right to have that conviction because it's true. Realizing that, there is nothing to seek for since life is ourselves being expressed from inward to outward.

If life and myself are ultimately the same then what I am really seeking for is a change in myself. But myself cannot be found on the outside as that is the expression of who I am being on the inside. So if who am I being affects the world then there is nothing in the outside for me to seek. It is all done internally without the aid of another. Neville is right then when he says that there is no one or nothing to change but self.

The way I go about changing myself is this. I first recognize that I am desiring something. Then I understand the teachings of this principle where what I am seeking for can be found within me. And so, I drop the idea of there being something to achieve or externalize. I completely let go of the senses and go within myself because if I can let go of something in the mind then it holds no power over what I want to imagine.

This is an internal game, then. There is no one or nothing to change but self. And you will find self to be your own life because if you change yourself and life starts to reflect this back then the cause of life is you. The idea of life happening outside of us is a manifestation of separation that happens in the mind. We don't have to continue viewing life and self as two separate things. We can view them as one and the same.

So if you wish to see major changes in your life then you must let go of the idea in externalizing and start to accept already being the one who has what it is they once were seeking for. Become the ruler of the mind rather than the one who seeks. And if you persist in this truth, your life will conform and mirror you.

Thank you.
