so welcome back for part two of there is no fiction from 1968 so I'm going to quote him again he says but you can build exactly what you want you want wealth you can build it you want Health you can build it you want to be known you want to be you want to fulfill a great ambition to be someone important in the eyes of others you can have it if you are willing to assume that you already are such a person so he goes back to being such a person that in spite of the
evidence of your senses and your reason that contradict it if you walk and sleep in that assumption it will into fact another way of saying is that if you accept that unseen reality if you accept that you if you if you accept the Unseen you if you can accept that you will become that unseen you the Unseen you will become seen in spite in spite of the past in spite of the words of others in spite of the disagreements in spite of the disbelief in spite of any hatred that's come your way in spite of
all of that if you can accept the Unseen person in you the Unseen you you will become that because you already are accepting some imaginal version of yourself you are entertaining some imaginal activity inside of you that implies something about you all the time so next time you find yourself going down paths that you don't like in inside of yourself ask yourself what does this reveal about me who am I being not not what should I do about it what do I have to do about this fearful thought no it doesn't matter who am I
being am I being powerless am I being small as a grasshopper and all I see is giants in my mind what am I being am I lost am I being lost am I not feeling found did I lose myself that I forget what I value what happened that I'm being that that is otherwise causing these ideas to come into into being because they're coming from somewhere it's coming from some dreamer and if you go into a dream the dream always shapes itself around the dreamer it's because it's the dreamer dreaming it so if he wants
to change the dream he has to change himself that's the way to do it and so you have to accept the Unseen imaginal you then he goes on to say for to the degree I'm self- persuaded of what I'm imagining to that degree a works so the secret is how to imagine to the point of self-persuasion can I really believe it so he speaks about degrees in this case to the degree I believe I am the thing I want to be to that degree it comes into my world so I must really accept and believe
that I am what I want to be in order for me to see it not just a little bit and you might do that you might dip your toes in the pool of your unseen self and maybe feel what it feels like to be the imaginal you for a bit and then you back out and so you to that degree you're not really convinced yet you're not really convinced that you haven't persuaded yourself that you're that thing yet you haven't yet embraced it and then you try it again and Tred it again and that might
be why some people have to repeat it well in Neville's case it seems like he just accepted the Unseen he didn't have to have much more he just had to accept what was unseen that was it then he goes on to say but while we're practicing it here he means prayer believe that there is no fiction do not for one moment think that you can sit down and idly entertain a thought and think well now that was just a thought I believed it when I did it but after all it was only a thought it
wasn't based upon fact and so while you're trying to imagine yourself different if always you think in the back of your mind if it's always itching at you [Music] to tell you that it's just your imagination it's not real you can't be that then you haven't persuaded yourself enough and you have to learn to not always scratch every itch you don't have to answer every doubt you don't have to answer all your doubts you don't have to answer yourself you don't even have to tell yourself anything else other than I've accepted that I am this
unseen reality and I know that the things that I've accepted are unseen become seen it's all you really have to know but the practice of it can be a challenge when you think you have to answer every doubt and you think you have to entertain the facts if if you forget that the facts were once created by imagination and you think there's another cause well then yeah you're going to think that it was just a thought doesn't really matter I I just because I had this thought I had this imaginal act and I didn't see
any of the evidence come into my world immediately well then this doesn't work but it always seems to work instantly just in a ways we don't it seems to it seems to be a seed that we've asked for when we imagine something it seems to be a seed that we've planted and then it starts to grow in our worlds and it grows immediately it starts to sprout you'll see the effects if you pay attention and don't try to just dig it out and you just pay attention to your world after you assume something you will
see all of a sudden the conversation slightly shift in the direction you've imagined all of a sudden you find yourself in a different spot and things start to reflect what you otherwise are have moved into and just accept it don't try to get don't you don't have to get nervous about it you just have to accept it just accept that it's starting to enter your world Let It Be let the world be that's like the one of the best advices that Neville gave was leave the world alone and change the conception of yourself leave it
alone even if you feel that you must attack it leave it alone you don't have to attack it the best way to overcome a dire situation is through is through assuming that you're out of that dire situation and so then he goes on to speak about how scripture actually supports permissive POS lies so and he says isn't isn't an assumption that not based upon fact a lie and he goes on to say that that he gives a parable how somebody was going to be charged for um a certain amount of money they owed a certain
amount of money and in scripture tells you to revise it actually make it less money and so permissible lies are actually accepted and he goes on to say what is a let's say what is the permissible lie he says to look at one who is unwell and represent that one to myself as one who is well and I never saw them so well he says that's a permissible lie seeing someone who is struggling and you see them succeeding that's a permissible lie and you can apply that same method to yourself don't condemn yourself don't condemn
the person just because they're in a bad State get them out of that state same goes true for yourself you're allowed to lie in this way it is a lie but it's a permissible lie you're allowed to change yourself you're allowed to repent and how is that not a lie but if you really think about it if you really feel if You' ever practiced this material and I say practice because you can just listen to it and not practice it but if you ever practiced it you know that there is some level of Truth in
that permissible lie you feel it that when you imagine yourself differently the way you want to be you know there is some truth in it that you can't ignore you feel it and you know it and you can't doubt it that's why you can't let go of it it because on some level you know it's true it's just simply unseen but you know it's true there is a level of truth that is almost glaring when you look at it and when you look at it look at the truth ask yourself why am I wanting to
change myself this way why do I want to be this and you'll see some truth in it and when you see the truth in it why you want it why it's important to you why it matters then you won't about it you'll accept it and then when you start to become that what are you going to conclude about the world that doesn't matter what others think that's what noil says actually in this in this lecture he says if there's evidence for a thing what does it matter what others think does it matter what others say
does it really matter the circumstances really does it I mean it might they might be difficult but do they matter do they matter the the words of others might be harsh but do they matter the thoughts that they think about you might not be lovely but do they matter does it stop me from going Beyond this realm and assuming something that is otherwise an unseen state does it stop me if not if it doesn't stop me and that unseen state starts to produce evidence in my world then I don't think it matters so then you're
free you start to become more and more free you don't condemn yourself anymore you don't allow yourself to live within the structures and Frameworks of the ideas of others because everyone has their own idea of you you can't if you took the accumulation of everyone what they think about you you try to live in that mold you would never live up to it it would change tomorrow it'd be like it'd be like the clothing that people wear one minute they wear this and the next thing you know something else is in fashion they tell you
to be this thing and then they tell you to be that thing the next day so you can't listen to that so if you if I can't go outside to trust somebody on what I should be and I can only go to myself then how can I persuade myself that I already am that thing well you first have to let go of the labels that you were given you have to let go of what you otherwise were taught about yourself it doesn't matter what others think in this case on once I accept this unseen state
it calls into question everything of my senses my facts my doubts it brings it all to the table and I must give it up and buy that Pearl or buy that state that's how I buy the state it's it says you have to the the price to pay for your state is your worry the price to pay is your is your doubt it's your clenching of what other people have said about you can you let this go that's what it's asking that's the price to pay and so he starts to end this lecture and he
says so tonight you sit down and write your glorious tell about yourself and those you love and believe it as you write it he says write it in first person so that you can when he's like so you can write it as something that you have accomplished then actually live in that state for imagining creates reality so he's telling you to change your story essentially just change it believe in whatever you write it and believe in what you've written and then you will learn what it means to believe yourself you'll learn what that means and
then you will you won't need to go around trying to find a new master to believe in trying to find some new leader you would believe in yourself and then he sort of goes on to reiterate the point to that he gives a story about how he grew up with ducks and this one time he fed these ducks fish and when they went to go eat the ducks the ducks tasted like fish and he goes on to say like we're not Ducks you and I aren't Ducks we're persons but we feed on ideas and so
it's important that we feed on the ideas that we otherwise want we're always eating every day we have two meals every day a physical one and a mental one well what are you eating inside what ideas are are you actually feasting upon you can radically change them that's open always remember that's open don't ever think you can't change it but what are you eating and when you see that you might be eating things that otherwise imply a certain way that you are that you don't like know that you can change that you can change your
mental diet and the true diet is what am I being what am I inside what am I being being inside that is what I'm eating that's what I'm feasting upon and then he gives this sort of I don't want to say warning but he he he shows this importance that you can't be double-minded don't go back and forth as I said let your know be no in the in part one he says the double-minded man is unstable in all his ways and if there's one thing one thing that I relate with the most it's being
double-minded I know what I want to be I've believed in it and yet I go back it's the most CH it's most difficult thing in the world when you're double-minded to be single-minded to believe in yourself to be of one mind within yourself it feels like you have two three four five people speaking to you and you want to silence all of them and you feel unstable in your ways in all your ways but you're told don't be a double-minded person don't he says don't think that you're going to imagine something and then go back
on it he says you don't go back and forth you can't go back and forth he says the moment he says he gives this idea he says the minute he turns away from what he sees he forgets and goes back to his former former state so then he goes on to say he says he looks into a mirror and then he sees what he likes to see and then he turns back and forgets what he looked like so don't do that imagine that imagine you put on an outfit a beautiful outfit and then you looked
in the mirror and then you looked away from the Mir and you forgot what you just put on you forgot what outfit you're wearing Nobody Does that right but you can do that within yourself you can do that internally you will see yourself you'll see the Unseen you you'll believe in it one minute and the next minute you go back and and you believe in what you formerly were you forget it completely don't forget don't forget the Unseen you don't forget don't forget it that's what I would say learn from my mistakes learn from the
mistakes of people before you don't forget it that is you and you were allowed to believe in it and so I'm going to end this one here um I think this is just going to be a two parts I might go over these again because I know that there's a lot more I can go over as far as different I'm just kind of reading through and going through certain things I'm highlighting and I'm sure I could do this again and again and again there's so much to extract from this but but again I I I
do appreciate you guys listening um this Series has been pretty fun I'm going to keep doing these daily and so keep a lookout for those and again I also do live q&as and live talking on the members channel so if that interests you um would love to have you and it's just in the description but again thank you guys for listening
