Lecture Talk: Levels Of Vision - Edward Art (Neville Goddard Inspired)

so this lecture is called wonderwork power of attachment from 1963 but for me I'm going to call it levels of vision because I think it makes more sense to call it that and just for the sake of like YouTube's title there's not many characters I have so I don't want to put a long title but but if you want to look this up it's called working Wonder working power of attachment from 1963 so he goes into these different levels of vision that Blake William Blake says and he talks about single vision twofold vision three-fold and

four-fold now I have my own experiences with these Visions we all do really and Neville gives one of his experiences but but we're going to talk about single Vision first so single vision is basically observing things as they are so you look at a tree he gives this example Neville gives an example of looking at a tree and it's just a tree you look at a man it's just a man you look at a rock and it's just a rock it's nothing more than what it is you see the world just kind of as it

is um a stomach is just a stomach it doesn't there's nothing there's no meaning behind it there's no understanding behind it it just is what it is that is single vision and then there's double vision which is seeing things as a symbol so you look at a so he gives an example of looking at a fire you kind of see a fire you light it up um it sort of dances around and then eventually it Withers and it goes and turns into Ash and what you could see from that is your life you can see

how that resembles your life like how a candle resembles your life William Blake gives an example of this in his poem called The Fly and how he Likens a fly to to a man and how sort of a you sort of swipe your hand at a fly to kill it and he says basically says eventually you know I a man comes and he Dan and sings and eventually a blind hand shall brush his wing and so he he Likens a fly to a man he sees it all as the same thing and that's double vision

so double vision is also another example of double vision is it's seen like a a person who only wants to do things out of their own personal and selfish gain instead of seeing just a person you would see a sort of a flea you would see a parasite that that is that's double vision seeing things as what they symbolize it doesn't matter if the person is the greatest dictator the most powerful dictator in the world it doesn't matter if they're highest in in office it doesn't matter where they're at in the world how much money

they have if they're doing things just for their own selfish gain then that is that's a parasite that's a a blood sucking insect that's what they that's what they that's how God sees them inside because God doesn't judge after appearances God doesn't look to your money and think that you're better than somebody that's not how it works it's really comes on to your intention and your intentions sort of will shape your symbol of what you are and so so they're a flea and William Blake actually would draw people that way as well you know he

drew a flea he has a if you look it up he has a painting on on called the flea and it it's a it's a man it's in the shape of a man that's how he saw people and we're BAS basically Blake kind of strongly warns against being in single Vision all the time he basically Likens it to sleep in the in the poem he actually calls it Newton sleep and so he was very big on you always being in twofold always see things as symbols always see it as a something relating to your life

rather than just seeing things as they are just like you know don't look at a tree and just see a tree essentially and then he talks about third Vision now third vision is what you and I are doing when we imagine when when we're taking double vision which is seeing things as symbols and we are states if you will seeing things as States and woing them together to make an some type of conversation or some type of image or scene that implies what we otherwise want that is that is uh third vision and third Vision

Neville speaks of how he he created he created many things from third Vision sort of a third vision is is yeah you're threading together states to imply fulfillments of yourself that's all we're really doing you're taking these otherwise what you're seeing from double vision these symbols and you know putting it together to to imply something about you within and Neville says I created many things from third Vision that now third I don't want to get too into it because I think at this point we all kind of know what third vision is you know you

can ease drop you know you you wo together a certain certain states that resemble what you otherwise would like you take a friend and make them see you the way you want to see you you put them in that state put yourself in a state and then you you can listen to them tell you you can ease drop on the conversation hearing them tell you that you are the who you want to be that is you're putting together states to to imply something about you really that's all this is it's all states you see yourself

as a state you see yourself as a symbol you see them as a symbol they represent the they represent you telling you who you want to be um it could be out of jealousy or out of Praise it's all symbols and you interplay these these images these symbols and you make an image out of it and that image implies something about you that is third Vision now you can create out of third Vision you don't need to create out a fourth Vision but fourth Vision that's really what I want to talk about here fourth vision

is Neville says it's the difference between being blind and seeing it is completely different than third see third vision is like you you can imagine something you can paint something wonderful inside of yourself and it could be rather blurry can be like Neville talked about this when he left the Army he was back at home in New York when he was in the Army he he said the image wasn't like perfect it was shadowy it was dark but he tried his best to sort of Make It Real to him so you don't really need to

make it perfect but fourth fourth fold vision is when it is basically identical if not more real than this reality that's fourth fold Vision that is what that is the um I'm not sure if there's a way to get there every time I'm not sure there's a method it sort of has whenever I've entered fourth full vision Just Came Upon me it was never something I did but you you don't know that you're dreaming essentially or I should say you know that you're dreaming but you you can't tell if it's not real it looks just

as real as this world but yet you know you're dreaming you know you're imagining this that's the difference and he gives an example how he he found himself at sleep at night and he woke up in a dream but where he was at he was in a um he was at his house he was awake at his house he knew he was sleeping but he was completely awake and then eventually it transferred over into this this beautiful building where it seemed like almost like a hotel and he said from this he bumped into two people

at the hotel and it was a a woman in her daughter and he told them like ladies this is a dream and they looked startled like they ran away from him and as one would do if some if some man came up to you and said like hey this is a dream um you would probably feel startled and and I have my own experience with that I kind of want to share just my experience now with it is there's been many times where I've became conscious inside a dream but the difference when it starts to

feel real to you is when you touch it when you actually physically touch things in your dream is when it starts to feel strange because even Neville said that he saw painting in this fourth fold vision and he said he thought when he touched it his hands were going to go through it but it didn't he it was physically real solid it was just a solid as this world and I remember I had my own experience with that where I fell asleep and then I woke up and I was in a different country I was

in Cuba and I was vacationing there with my family and I remember I walked up to I I realized in this moment I said I'm Dreaming I was in front of a door and I just was aware I just knew I was sleeping back at home and this this is a dream and I walked through the the door just sort of opened and I just it was already open so I walk through and I see my parents and they're packing their bags like we're leaving like like the the trip was over and I walked up

to my mom and I I was I told I like hey this is a dream I'm dreaming I'm sleeping right now back at home this is a dream right now and they wouldn't look at me like they weren't they didn't have much of a reaction but they weren't they didn't know what to say to me and so I thought to myself I'm going to I'm gonna touch her shoulders and sort of shake her to tell her this is a dream and I remember when I I thought to myself my hands are going to go through

her if I touch her shoulders cuz it's a dream this isn't real and the moment I touched her shoulders like I felt like as you would when you would touch someone's shoulders it felt real it was just as solid as this world and I remember it shocked me it it really truly shocked me inside when I saw that it's just as physically real was here I felt the flesh inside of myself just like that and that was the moment it triggered for me that that this is more real than I thought and although it although

it it appears like a dream I almost couldn't tell like put it this way if I passed away in my bed back at home I wouldn't there would be no difference it's like I I didn't skip a beat I just found myself in a different a different world where I'm just experiencing this so there's like and Neville explains that he says that he um when he was in his dream after he told the ladies that you know this is a dream he wanted to get back at home because he realized he has responsibilities back at

home because before he entered it he told himself I'm going to explore this place even even though there might be consequences I'm going to explore regardless of consequences I will explore this dream and he went in and explored it but then at a certain point he got stuck there and he started he started to feel that he was worried because he has his family back at home that he has to take care of of and he goes I have unfinished business I have to get back and he tried to get himself to wake up by

telling himself wake up but he he wouldn't so what he ended up doing was applying the same method that he applied to sort of uh imagine which is he imagined himself back at home he imagined a pillow behind his head he imagined himself being next to his wife he imagined his his uh child there he imagined himself back in in reality he said if he stayed there then in this world you know his body would just have been dead and they're going to cut it up and say that you know he died from this and

that um but he really was just in another place he just found himself in a different world and that's exactly what I felt too I felt like if I passed away it for me it would make no difference I wouldn't skip a beat and yet for the people here it would be devastating for people in this world yet for me I wouldn't have even noticed and that's that's what fourth F vision is it's it's it being so real that you can't differentiate the difference and and I remember I I also Al had this fourth full

vision come upon me when I was not even dreaming um like asleep I was imagining being in this house and I remember I did it for a month I wanted to see what would happen if I imagined myself somewhere for a month just placing myself there and just sort of participating in the dream and then one day I actually found almost like I went through like a a small tunnel and then I found myself in that house inside of my it's all happening within me and it was and I I was in front of the

sink and I was you know touching the water coming from the faucet and I remember in that moment I was there and it terrified me I got really really scared because I wasn't expecting cuz you know when you imagine something it's kind of shadowy it's a little bit dark you kind of are trying to see the image you're trying to see it but you're not really there um but this time I was really there and that time if I guess I got scared because I didn't know how it happened I didn't know what I did

and it's the the reality of it all just frightened me and then my my fear kicked me out of it I noticed that if I remained relaxed and calm I would have I would have been there I would have stayed longer but because I got really really terrified for some reason that kicked me out of the dream and put me back into my body so I I don't know if you have to be sleeping but there are many people in this world who have these types of Dreams where you you talk to the people in

the dream you tell them that you're dreaming and they don't believe you or they do believe or they think you're they think you've gone mad in the dream and yet you know you know back at home you're sleeping you know this is a dream that's exactly what happen here in this world you will know what to dream it's just as real it feels real the consequences in the dream feel real people are startled the same way they would be startled here you you try to shake them they don't they don't they won't listen to you

they don't to them it makes no sense that it's a dream and yet you know you're the you're the dreamer of all of this I dreamt up of Cuba I was there I dreamt up of my family I was there I was the dreamer of it all and I knew I was dreaming I was awake inside the dream yet no one believed me but I you could never tell me otherwise you could never convince me that I wasn't dreaming I knew with certainty that I was dreaming now you don't need fourth fold Vision to create

things in your life you don't need that um second fold Vision again is a way of seeing life and then you use that to create a sort of um to weave together images to create a scene or to create sort of um a conversation or you use that for third fold vision to create in your life now Neville say you don't need fourth fold um fourth fold to me it was never something now maybe imagin the same thing over and over for a month is what caused it but I can't say um it seems like

it just sort of comes upon me so like you are you are literally awake inside of a dream and yeah it feels just as real I mean then then you know that the flesh that this Physical Realm there's nothing there's nothing more close to this life than a dream and it it's your imagination can mimic it so well if anything we're told that it creates it and I like the idea of it calling it um Vision because it's not it's not uh saying that you're seeing untrue things it's it's just a level of vision that

you're looking through so when you go within yourself and you EAS drop as I said on hearing things about yourself don't think it's not happening you don't think it's not real that's it's a you're you're you're in a certain Vision that you're seeing Beyond this realm and you're overhearing what you otherwise are you know you don't don't hear here with your physical ears but don't think it's not real you're just you're sort of penetrating a different realm where that is real and you're experiencing it so you're finding things within you in a sense instead of

feeling like you're creating it from scratch e either way it doesn't I guess it doesn't matter but I always like the idea that it's a type of vision that you're looking through instead of making it all up in a sense like you're actually tapping into something that's already there and from there you believe in it you believe in it in its existence that's what faith is Faith is going within yourself seeing what is unseen seeing it and believing in it that's really all it is and then the Unseen becomes seen and so that's all you

need for third fold Vision if you just want to create in your life you take States you weave them together and there you go you got you got yourself a dream and participate in it but fourth fold vision is really what I found special in this because I love that Blake actually gives it a a a label because there's no words to describe how how it feels to be awake in a dream and how to touch things in a dream it it just now for me I didn't feel that no like it looks like for

Neville he got kind of stuck there now I didn't get stuck what happened to me was the moment I realized I was dreaming I after I touched my mom's shoulders in the dream I told her hey this is a dream I was shot out of my sort of that dream I was shot out of it and I found myself in a in a black void I was it was a completely black void I was I was aware I was aware but there was nothing but but just darkness and I had a huge huge excitement come

over come upon me and I felt a strong urge to create like I knew it was time for me to create and it was this big excitement and big urge to do it it wasn't I wasn't scared being in the void I was actually really really excited to create something um so take what you will from that but but there are many people who have these experiences that that they share them too and they they they say I I told this person I was dreaming and they looked at me like I was crazy in the

dream but I knew it I knew it that is fourth fold Vision but um on this level it seems like all you really need is three-fold to create in your life and you and it really tells you to stay away from single vision to see things as they are single vision is hearing bad news and just accepting it you know that all the world knows single Vision you know not many know some some know double vision which is seen things as symbols but few actually believe in their three-fold Vision they few actually believe that but

you're invited to believe it you're invited to believe in the Unseen so I'm going to end that one here that's just what I took away from this I there's more to it I just um I want to leave it on the on the levels of vision I find them important I find them to you know contemplate on that if you've ever had an experience for yourself that you've and what does it mean to you that you found yourself awake in a dream you know what are the implications of this and it's all happening within the

individual you it's all it's all it's all self-evidence you don't need someone to tell I don't need anyone to tell me that I was dreaming I don't need anything on the outside to tell me that I was dreaming I knew it I knew it that is the all the evidence I needed was that I knew I was dreaming I knew I could I could wake myself up and I would find myself back on my bed so yeah I'm going to end it here um again I'm going to Contin uh do these daily just keep a

lookout for them but uh thank you for listening guys I do appreciate it um I know these these topics are interesting they're different um and so I appreciate you guys taking the time to listen to me
