Neville Goddard Law Of Assumption

0:03 tonight will'll be on the law I think you'll find it a very practical evening but remember you are the operan power it doesn't operate itself but all day long whether you know it or not you are operating nothing affairs to us in perception which cannot be duplicated in fancy consequently the world perceived always resembles our private

0:50 fancy and is therefore as far as the evidence goes imaginal in character here we are trying to find the cause of the phenomena of Life what makes things happen why is that one poor and that one rich why is that one known and the other unknown and why is one this and the other that and yet we are told in scripture there is only one cause only one God here o Israel the Lord Our God the Lord is one we are two Gods there's only one God

1:40 but we have to find out who this one God is if I should speak to you now and say and speak of your God the chances are and you can give it any number you want a million in one or trillions in one that hearing the word your God that your mind will instantly think of someone or something external to yourself I do not care how you form it what you will think of God your God as external to yourself but if I spoke of your imagination I am certain you will think of no one but yourself

2:30 could it be that your imagination is the god of scripture if you read scripture carefully you will find that it is there's only one creative power we are told in the 32nd chapter of the book of Deuteronomy that I even I am he and there is no oh God beside me I kill I make alive I wound I heal and there is none that can deliver out of my

3:17 hand from this we see that the creative power of the world the creator of the world is like pure imagining in ourselves he works in the very depths of our soul underlying all of our faculties including perception but he streams into our surface life least thisguy in the form of productive fancy so you see anything here through your senses shut your eyes close your senses completely and you can reproduce it in

4:04 fancy does it teach me anything well I'll tell you will teach you everything if you'll believe it if I can get you to accept the true God the only true God which is your own wonderful human imagination does Scripture teach it really yes scripture does and the word of the lord of the word translated Lord is the Hebrew y he it's not Su itough we do quite to Su it we translate as the Lord and sometimes Jehovah and sometimes they'll

4:49 translate it which they shouldn't say as God but the Lord yes the word Jehovah yes well the word Jesus begins yodave out so here we find the same root in the word Jesus therefore they call him the Lord and the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah saying arise and go down to The Potter's House and I will let you hear my words so I went down to The Potter's House and there he was working at his

5:35 wheel and the vessel in his hand was spoiled that he was making a play but he reworked it into another vessel as it seemed good to him to do well the word poter you think in terms of a man I know in little barbatus where I was born I would go up to the Potter field and there he was working these things out of play things where we would put the normal water into it and in some strange way it chilled it could always depend upon a nice cold cold glass of water if poured from what we called the monkey it was a thing made of clay at a little

6:22 clay top and a open thing like a huge big teapot but made of clay in the hottest moment of the day if you poured it from that clay it was always nice and cold and so I can see him now form the entire thing with his hand but in scripture the word Potter means imagination you'll find what I've just quoted in the 18th chapter of the book of Jeremiah you'll also find it in the 64th chapter of the book of Isaiah Thou Art Our Father our Potter who is the father well the lord

7:08 well the true translation of the word Lord which is y is I am if I should go to the people of Israel and say to them the god of your fathers sent me unto you and they asked me what is his name what shall I say say to them I am that is who I am say to them I am has sent me unto you not the Lord has sent me unto you or Jehovah has sent me unto you or Jesus

7:53 has sent me unto you for these always takes the Mind outside of self but say to them I am has sent me unto him you want to know his name just say I am that is who I am that is my name forever and by this name I shall be known throughout all generation but man will not bring himself to believe that that is God he will not bring himself to believe that his own wonderful human imagination is God and that is God that forms everything in this world there is

8:38 nothing thing that you now see in the world but what it was once only imagined their image preceded the objective fact so objective reality is purely produced through imagining Pursuit youw the dresses you wear the chairs in which you were seated the building that now houses you everything was only imagined and then it became an objective reality and we think the objective state is its reality it's not so at all that which is the imaginative image is its reality destroy the objective fact I can

9:27 reproduce it from the imaginative image it is all within us our own wonderful human imagination is the god of scripture noo all things were made through him and without him was not anything made that was made he was in the world and the world was made through him yet the world knew him not so you walk the earth as the cause of the phenoma of your life you could be if you are vivid in your imagination be influenc in the

10:15 imaginations of unnumbered people and you unseen by them are the cause of the phenomena of life if they are passive they fall under your influence if you are powerful in your imagination you are creating the phenomena of life and those who are not in control of their imagination who are moved by the wi of every little rumor every opinion they're simply sway from side to side as you in control move them you are the one treading in the wine press and no one knows it you could be in a dungeon serving a long long span of time

11:03 and while there eaten up with a desire and then in your silent moment you are completely in control of that Vivid creative power of the universe your imagination and you influence all the people of the world for all things by a la Divine in one another being mingle I couldn't see you if you did not penetrate my brain I couldn't I couldn't hear you if you didn't penetrate it so all things by a law Divine in one another's being mingle the whole B world is one you in control of the creative power which is your own wonderful human imagination you

11:49 can suade the entire vast world if you can't do it as some dictators will try to do it they bring in their propaganda machine and then they try to force man into a certain shell into a certain State and quite often they succeed up to a point but you without the aid of any machine in this world you can change the structure of Your World by the control of your own wonderful human imagination that is God that is the Lord spoken of in Scripture that is Jesus on can you imagine well that is God in Operation God only acts and is in

12:39 existing beings or men but how does he act as I imagine I imagine anything see now that I even I am he I kill and I make alive I wound and I heal and none can deliver out of my hand I raise my hand to heaven and cry I live forever that's the immortal you it cannot die when you say I am it cannot die it's not confined to the little garment that you're wearing that's a mask that you put upon yourself that you

13:24 may be seen in this world of Shadows but you you are not the mask that you wear you are an immortal being and that Immortal being is God the father as spoken of in scripture but I would like you to begin to feel it is simply I am and by that imagination you can sit down this very moment and begin to dream the most glorious dream in the world concerning yourself at the moment of the dream reason denies it your sense is Deni it but if you dare to assume that assumption that you are already that in its fullest and persist in that assumption it will harden into

14:13 fact L said I met Isaiah and Ezekiel and I DED with them last night and I say to Isaiah do you really believe that an assumption will harden in the effect all prophets believe that it does but today not very many are capable of an assumption of anything they change from moment to moment if I could dare to assume that I am what at the moment reason denies and persists in my assumption in a way that I do not know and I need not be concerned about it will actually find

14:58 the ne necessary means to externalize itself within my world that I know from experience and scripture teaches it from beginning to end this is the law that came after the promise the promise came first and that is irrevocable no one can fail in the Fulfillment of the promise you will awaken one day as God himself and you will know it that is the promise but while we are moving through this veil of tals we have a law and the law is the law of assumption if I dare to believe the what

15:45 I have said will come to pass I'm not question it well go your way it will come to pass here's a simple simple thing my father in a little tiny Island it's only 21 mil long by 14 wide that's where I was born he is not a brilliant mind he's gone from this world at the age of 85 his time was up and he departed he had no formal education very little education the war came the first world war came to an end in 1918 the boys began to return in

16:30 1919 as these troop ships came in bringing back the boys from Europe and from North Africa he heard the officers the captains and the STS discuss the next World War I can hear my father now for in 1919 I was born in 195 so here I am 14 years of age and all of us are now growing up young men and my father said we'll have another war in 20 years he'll break in 1939 mother said Joseph why do you say that look at all of our boys they'll all

17:17 be ready for the war why do you say that and there were nine boys one girl he said it will happen in 1939 is he even named the two sides and placed it on the side of Germany and Japan on the side of Germany leaving England and France and Russia he didn't mention the others they were naturally took it for granted that America would come in to defend the Liberty that we have inherited from England what we now call the bite all this is part of the foundation of that English speaking

18:03 world and he thought well now America will coming at the appropriate time but in 1919 it will break well on September the 1st 1919 it broke I was driving through from Montreal I just spent two weeks on the Canadian border went into Montreal and I had well champagne and stout it's a delightful drink by the way and so I had a few of those we got into the car and started back and on the way back here comes the radio and here's the news England has just declared war on Germany Germany moved on Poland

18:49 England had a treaty and declared war that was September 1919 now my father is not a prophet but he firmly believed in his assumption he was treading the wine press in this tiny little island called Barbados 21 M long by 14 at its widest point so you don't have to be in a palace you don't have to be in the F house you don't have to be in any prominent place or the Vatican someone in a dungeon this night is treading the wine bre and who knows what's going to happen when she has praded the white it is always happening because he

19:35 waits on us just as swiftly and as indifferently when the Willing us is evil as when it is good for I kill and I make alive I wound and I heal I do all these things I make the wheel and I create the w I form the light I create the darkness as C isai there's only one created Power don't think for one moment there are two Gods like a God and a devil the devil is only the negation the doubter in this world but the positive creative power of the world

20:21 is your own wonderful human imagination that is God was your seated here God is seated here and where are you going to go to find him you could find him no place other than where you are you'll never find him outside of yourself approaching you as some people are talking about it today I turned on the radio thinking I'm going to see the blast off to the Moon I thought I had channel four so I sat back in my easy chair all I didn't know what time was going to come on it had maybe 10 minutes to 10 so I turned it on the quarter quarter two and here comes this so-called Prophet he's from Australia and he's being question by

21:07 someone else and he's giving all the interpretations of the prophecy of scripture I wonder is this an insane asylum or something and here he has given me all these little dates why Israel Ron in six days the last war rather than others because Israel always rest on the day of all the nonsense in the world and he is actually before a p on doubtly a large audience maybe not last Sunday morning because it was an important thing the boys casting off to the Moon I thought I had channel four and I had channel five so I sat there waiting maybe B maybe some brother has delayed the thing

21:52 because I thought he was four and after 15 minutes of this nonsense I got up and checked I missed the blast off see completely gone luckily it was a replay so the replayed it later and I saw the blast do and this goes on every Sunday morning and they and then they called him an authority and he so smiled he so loved that you an authority on the Bible well you never heard this nonsense in your life well that is it I'm telling you of the true God God became as we are that we may be as he is and that God is your own wonderful

22:38 human imagination So when you say I am that's God there is no other God he literally became as we are our every breath is the Breath of God but he does not in any way interfere with this level of awareness and compel us to be good compel us to be kind compel us to be anything we can exercise the talent no matter what mistakes we make what Horrors we make in this world and we have done it and are still doing it in this world and who suffers only God suffers but you say but I am suffering that's his name forever and forever he has no other name it's

23:24 not Jehovah is not the Lord is not Jesus it is simply I am that is the father and so I'm telling you tonight if you really believe it you can start now this night and change the world in which you live start with your own environment what would it be like if it were true that I am now the man that I would like to be or the woman that I like to be and then simply Define it as clearly or the word Potter simply means to mold into a form the first definition is Imagination it means to resolve it means

24:10 to determine so you could determine a certain state in your world a resolution now I resolve to be and you name it not based upon the evidence of your senses or what reason dictates but a wish on your part as we are told in Shakespeare it has been taught us from the Primal state that he which is was wished until he were and so he is there a reality in my world he began only as a wish I am the man I wanted to be it began as a wish my father became the success that he was when he departed this world it began as a wish he didn't have one penny

24:57 in this world he went to a school and what do you think the charges were a penny a week the British Penny being 2 cents it was two hes one penny a penny a week and many a week his father being a very very heavy drinker couldn't find the penny to pay that fabulous Scholastic thing but he came out and started without a decent education but he had a dream and he always had the dream and when he was toled from a small

25:43 little partnership two of my brothers went to see the three men who actually maneuvered the entire thing and they asked why what happened to Daddy why did this thing happen you know what one of them say to my two brothers you got it throw your hat too high well you can't throw it high enough can I tell you who in this world is more entitled to any exalted State than you when how within you is the only God so they said you got us throw your hat too high he want us to always remain based

26:29 upon the level where my parents began in this world that was that was not my father's dream so the partners all died working for other people at small little salaries and my father died working only for himself and his son at the age of 85 and left 10 children each financially independent so they threw the hat too high did he if he had lived longer he'd have thrown it even higher that was my father's dream so do not let anyone tell you to be satisfied with this that or the other it is the god in you that

27:14 gives you desire you wouldn't eat tonight if you didn't have a desire and who is Desiring it is God Desiring Desiring constantly to transcend himself and so tonight you dream dream Noble dreams I am telling you those who are coming here and those who have been coming through the years New York San Francisco and elsewhere they're now beginning to really come into a head to awaken to the truth that I have been telling you through the years that you're going to discover that you are God the Father Thou Art our father yet our poter and we are the clay in thy hand

28:00 the day will come you'll discover why he calls this the clay we are emotional filters and we bear the marks of our prevalent emotions and he allows these marks good bad or indifferent he does not in any way dictate what I should entertain as a thought all right entertaining so I want to feel sorry for myself and go off and eat worms go and eat the worms have some more that's exactly what he does to all of us no compassion whatsoever not to speak for one moment that he's going to stop you in the ACT he allows you to completely run your own world as it were and make all the mistakes in the

28:46 world thou Hast delivered us into our inequity and the word deliver in Greek in Hebrew and in Latin means to melt he has melted us and melted us into our iniquity so we are so much a part of it we can't even separate ourselves from these infirmities he allows us to be delivered right into our iniquities as told us in the 64th chapter of the book of Isiah read it carefully and you'll see this Vision that Poss these men who were qualified to hear from the depths of

29:32 their own selves but they heard it as Adam braci and then came the understanding of these Shadows these foreshadowings and the day will come that everyone in this world will discover he is God the father and because he is the father then there must be a son and that son is David David it is the Christ spoken of in scripture but man doesn't know that yet I am telling you from experience I know it and one day you're going to actually see the Christ who reveals you as the Lord who is the father so David is calls

30:18 not in Scripture that the thing is going dead again all right here is start back is it back yeah so I'm telling you there's only Father and Son in this entire wonderful story well then who then is this David that is the son David is the sum total of all the parts that the Lord I am has play He Is the resultant State and you have played all the parts good bad and indifferent and having played all the

31:04 parts then the some total the resultant Sate comes out and there he stands before you and he is David David is the resultant State the Christ the anointed one of the father and it takes him to reveal you as God the father and everyone is going to have this EXP was a lady here tonight who had this experience back in November said I Came Upon This beautiful youth of sheer innocence about 13 years of age ready of complexion as described in the 16th chapter of 1

31:52 Samuel and he came to me and he said you are in the fatherhood degree and I said to him how do you know he said to me I know I know and then the vision faded then she said I had this experience I saw three men walking towards me they were all with a Heavenly smile on their face as they approached they so resembl each other they could be triplets they could be brothers but triplets they were so completely alike

32:37 as they approached and one had an infant wrapped in a blanket and he came towards me and placed it in my hand and I took the infant and I knew it was my child now 2 days prior to this experience like lying on my bed I saw these Heavenly colors of well purple sort of the amethyst color and then as they faded it Formed into the most wonderful brilliant star I'm looking at the star when suddenly the whole thing faded and two days later came these three Messengers bringing the infant child

33:26 well that's told us in the book of Genesis Abraham set In the Heat of the day as he sat in the T and three men appeared to announce to him that he would be a father in spite of his Advanced years and Sarah it has ceased to be with her after the manner of women this is all beautiful imagery it's all you you are the Abraham you are the Sarah and the Isaac is the child that is given as a sign of your birth from above and so here she had the most marvelous

34:11 experience she knew the child was hers and three Messengers so alike they look like scriptus and then the star that preceded the entire thing by two days and then the youth who say to her you are in the fatherhood degree and when she asked how do you know he replied I know and then affirmed it by the second statement I know I tell you the law came after the promise the promise is something that you cannot lose no one can lose it you could

34:57 be the most horrible dreamer in the world and that's all we are anyway dreaming these fantastic dreams and some are horrible but you cannot lose the promise you can work the law beautifully up to the extreme does not mean in anyway you're going to earn the promise the promise comes in spite of your youth of law but while we're in the world of Cesar why not understand the law and use it wisely if a moment of Time You Must Be watchful aware of what you're Imagining the try to change circumstances before you change your imaginal activity is to struggle against the very nature of things because your

35:42 imaginal activity is actually producing objective reality and so until I change that which is the cause of the phenomenal life I'm going to reproduce the same thing in my world so start tonight to changeing it by changing the imaginal activity so here Pro said and I think it's a very marvelous statement that he made the secret of the imagining is the greatest of all problems to the solution of which all should Aspire for supreme power Supreme wisdom

36:28 Supreme Delight lies in the far off solution of this mystery there are so many facets to it here I stand I say I'm all imagination but am I really here based upon the evidence of my senses can I not block out what my reason and my senses are dictating and the elsewh can I not imagine myself to be El there and view the world from there instead of wanting to be there and viewing it from here which tells me I'm not what TR you can be any place you want to be in this world man must be wherever he is in imagination for men is

37:14 all imagination so I will simply imagine myself to be elsewhere if that's where I want to be or to be other than what I am if that's what I want to be and view the world from that assumption go forward and prepare the place he says wherever the soul of your foot shall tread upon the same gave I unto you whereever the soul of my foot Treads he gives me well they don't remain here all the time if I want to be elsewhere and the elsewhere need not be spatial it could be in a financial manner it could be in a social manner it could be in any manner and so I will dare to trade on a different level I

38:01 will dare to assume that I am that which I want to be I'm treading on it and I must be wherever I am in imagination for I am all imagination man is all imagination and God is Man and exist in us and we in him the Eternal Body of man is the imagination and that is God himself the Divine body we call for Jesus is your own wonderful human imagination and you beat him morning noon and night by the misuse of your imagination he Bears all the stripes of man but is only your own wonderful human imagination and he is the immortal you

38:49 one day he will awaken in you not as another but as you that these Fells go forward believing that some strange thing is going to happen and he's going to come out of the clouds and shake their hand they'll wait forever when he comes he comes from within because he is within do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you unless of course you have fail to meet the de examine yourself to see whether you're holding to the face Jesus Christ is in you do you not realize that you are the Temple of the Lord and the spirit of God dwells in you if he dwells

39:35 in me why look on the outside for him to come when he comes he comes only to awaken within me because he's already within me he awakes within me as the very being in whom he awake and then I see confirmation of that what I see the resultant s David and if hand some wonderful you every one can paint or they can attt it but you can't paint or sculpture the beauty of David is's Beyond description something a lie that you cannot describe that's the resultant Fai of all the part that the Lord has played and who is the Lord I he so you're told

40:21 you will die in your things unless you believe I am he of this believe in an external God they find it so much easier to stick him on the wall and cross themselves and get Lon G FL that's done did it for today my work today is done now we'll do it again tomorrow meanwhile I go about my business doing all kinds of nonsenses with my imagination and I think I serve the Lord it's not something you do once in the morning before some little thing on the wall it's something you do 24 hours a day you car it right into the dream world with you and there your reactions are as they should be when you're awake

41:06 here that you're completely in control of your wonderful human imagination for that's God that's the creative power of the world so take anyone wherever he is and just try to lift him up to something other than what he seems to be if he wants to be other than what he is and they ask him to persist to the best of his ability in that new assumption and to feel it as you would a su of cloth it's new when you first buy it wear it for a week it's old stuff first day you put it on you everyone knows you're wearing a new suit and really no one does what you do and so it's what you do and so after a

41:52 little while it's an old so put on the feeling is like something new when you first put it on and weary it and then after a while it becomes so natural and then it objectifies itself in your world and you become exactly what you've assumed that you are for an assumption your fault if persisted in will harden into fact you try who would have thought an insane person like a Hitler or a Stelling could by a mere assumption rise to the height that they did and actually control intelligent men and women one

42:37 100 million Germans the other 200 odd million Russians and they could destroy them with impunity kill Millions with impunity they weren't put on trial yet both were theves and robed before they actually mooved to that position taling was a bank robber and served time for it and yet they honored him over the years he was there knowing all along he was insane well you can't conceive of a man called Hitler fan he was just as insane as anyone could be but he did assume and boldly assume and he lived in

43:25 it that's what I mean by this strange peculiar law that kills and makes theive and it wounds and it heals it makes the dark and creates the light it forms the wheel and still creates the world it does all things and no one can deliver out of his hand so it's entirely up to us what are we going to do with this creative power in the world when we we ourselves are that power you don't say going to take it from outside and use it we are the power we are the creative power of the universe and that power the world calls

44:10 God but in calling it God and calling it Jehovah and calling it Lord they are missing the point because they put it on the outside if you really know read the third chapter the 14th verse of Exodus that's where the name is beautifully described for it and when I come to the people of Israel and I tell them the god of your father sent me to you and they say what is his name what shall I say say unto them I am that is who I am and when you go to them you just say I am has sent me to you and that is my

44:56 name for forever and by that name I shall be known throughout all generations but Israel finds it difficult to keep the T and so it's always something other than I am it's so much easier to blame someone other than self for the things that are happening to us and I point here their anoun I forget what I did in my idle moment and when the Harvest comes up for me to reap it I deny that I planted these seeds when on Earth did I plant them well if I was honest with myself I would know you plant them morning noon and night in the course of

45:44 a day unnumbered idle moments catch you thinking all kinds of things you don't know the people and yet you'll be acting and doing all kinds of things for
