so i want to speak about a story that neville gave in a lecture i was reading that i think would help some people and it was the story about how he wanted his son back his son wasn't living with him he was with his mother but neville wanted to be with his son now the problem was that he tried everything he could to get his son back physically but nothing worked and then she spoiled neville's name in the family and his family's name she basically told the son that neville doesn't want him that basically neville's
a bad person and the family's bad and the son stayed away but then neville decided to imagine that his son was next to him and his hand was touching the back of his head and he felt his son's presence and imagination and then the boy i guess had a birthday where he turned 12 and the his wife called him and said hey your son's 12 he's now a man i can't i don't have room for two men you're gonna have to take him in so now we'll took him in but the one thing i found
really important about that i mean this is a classic story where he just you know imagined something that worked but he ignored he said that you know she poisoned my name but i just ignored all of that i didn't care what she said and that was really that really impacted me a lot of ways because i felt that's even more freedom to ignore the facts of the world that even with a bad name you still even with someone creating a bad name about you still consume it doesn't matter what the world tries to do because
the name is i am it's not i was it's not they say i am it's whatever you say you are and what it's what you claim to be about yourself in imagination and and then you know this lady asked him she has to you know i don't quite understand how this works um i'm new to the teaching he said they're okay so when you say the words i am know that that's god and all things are possible to god don't think of something outside of yourself when you say the names i am you never do
so don't think of god outside of yourself the creator of the cause and then he said that when you go to assume that you are to get confirmation that you are you look mentally into your world and you see people reflecting what you've assumed about yourself he says don't tell them physically anything don't tell your friends physical don't tell anyone physically anything you just assume it in an imagination and if you need confirmation about who you are see it you can think of the moment you see yourself expressing what you want imagination it's the imagination
or god showing you that you already are he's asking you to believe in him believe in that and regardless of what the rumors are and he said that god's name is i am it's not i was it's not i will be it's not i might be if you're thinking out of fear i might you know do something wrong i might end up in a bad state it's not um i want i want this i want this i want this you know someone who's deeply in desire how are you shaping your eye are you shaping it
with am or are you shaping it with i was you're always you know shaping it by something i think people with difficult past can we can tend to shape ourselves with i well i was like i was a victim i was abused i was and but we still feel those as almost i am statements and you aren't i was you aren't i will be you are i am that's what expresses you want to bring everything to i am which is to bring it to god so knowing that that you're not you're not your past and
you're not your future you're not even the state you're in then you aren't your feelings and you aren't your thoughts you don't have to associate yourself with these things you want your feelings they're things that we use we meaning the when i say we i don't mean the body i mean we as in the eye inside man the one who can shape himself to i was to the one who shapes himself to i will be but the one who also shapes himself to i am the i is the person i'm talking to right now the
inner you you have the power to shape and remold your inner world you have the power to change yourself regardless of the facts actually the inner man doesn't care about the facts it just assumes it anyways so the moment you start to say the words i was that's not you then when you say i will be that's not you you are i i am or i might be that's not you if you start associating yourself with i am and associate god with i am um and you stop associating yourself with your feelings and your thoughts
or your states then you should feel free because you won't feel unworthy of they're just thoughts and feelings you're allowed to have all of them you want you're the one who dictates you're the one who controls how much feeling you want how much thought you want or what thought you want what feeling you want if you can allow yourself that control then you become very conscious inside yourself and you choose the feelings you you would like to have because they're just feelings they're nothing's off limits they're they're yours to use and um i just found
this important to share that one must not think of them as their past and or their future but as now and they get to shape that now regardless of if someone poisoned your name or regardless of anything in the world ignore the facts of life and assume that you are wanted or loved or respected now i am is not something in the future it's now in the moment you accept that that you aren't known that's when the euphoria comes that's when you feel that you actually feel the wish fulfilled it's the acceptance of that you
are that now once you accept that that's why never says he's not speaking about emotion he's speaking about the feeling of the wish fulfilled is the acceptance of the fact that the wish has been granted so when you fully accept that you are the thing you want to be and you confirm it mentally and you believe in that mentally well then you've become it and in a short while someone's going to call you and let you know it happens time and time again people will and if people don't in your world somebody will come into
your world and tell you to reflect it to you but if you want to see your yourself if you want to see a totally different world you must see yourself entirely different you must allow yourself to the to be able to be forgiven enough to see yourself in a whole new light and you're allowed to do so because no thought or feeling is unavailable to you everything within you can be taken because it's yours i'm speaking to the inner man not to the outer body the inner man everything is yours within so choose things that
you love because you can you get to do anything you want you get to feel what you want so sorry i haven't posted in a while i've been i haven't been um my throat has been feeling the best and i don't want to continuously clear my throat while i'm talking but yeah i hope that helps
