in many of my videos I use the word imagination and I speak about going to the end very Neville verbiage and I'm going to continue it but I'm going to change it a bit instead of saying imagination I'm going to use the word awareness I think that this change in words can result in a in a Clarity given to you and that you'll be able to practice this from a little bit of a different angle that actually allows a bit more freedom in my opinion because trying to imagine perfectly is stressful so let's just change
the verbage a bit and hopefully we can we can gain some motivation to to actually practice this and as you know Neville has a book called The Power of your awareness which is a fantastic book to read it's very it's pretty short and it provides a lot it covers a lot of topics so I'd recommend you read it but my interpretation of that is this that my awareness it has a name and the name of my awareness is I am now I am to me at one point was like an affirmation it was like a
string of words it was like a claim almost just like a claim like a statement that I'm saying I'm this I'm am that but what I found is that I am is not that you think at first it's that but it's not and so what's what the first start of all of this is an investigation a thorough investigation a question questioning on the I am like what is it and and really question it what is the I am in me and who am I being and at first the definition I came with was I am
is a present tense feeling of being and I think that's a good definition but I don't think it fully covers what I'm trying to say either it's an awareness of what I am right now it's an awareness of being something right now I'm always being something whether I'm not in the state I want to be in or whether I'm in the state I don't want to be in I'm being something I can't not be I'm always doing something and in order to do something I must be something so all action has a source in the
sources my awareness of being so if I want to change my actions if I want to change myself I go to the cause and I go all the way back I go I find the label that what I've given myself what I've conceived myself to be and I go back to the conceiver or the I am that's my power so I am isn't just a string of words it's a creative force in my life it's a creative power so you can think it's silly to you can dismiss this idea but you can't stop being aware
of being something and that creates in your life that starts to shape your life now in this world of ours I can be manipulated into being something I can be totally unaware and be convinced of being something I otherwise don't agree with or consent to something I don't actually want to be but once I be gain knowledge once I do an investigation on I am I can change it but really it starts with that question and it's an honest question is what am I being right now what am I aware of being right now and
when you answer this question there's no shame there's no guilt there's none of that it's just we're just trying to uncover this power we're just trying to investigate it that's all we're doing and what you'll find is that you might be aware of being something that you otherwise don't want to be aware of being you might find yourself well I'm aware of being afraid of this thing I'm aware of being worried about this thing I'm not in the awareness that I want to be in I feel stuck in this awareness but really awareness is not
something you can be stuck in and it's not something you can lose either so you might have been in let's say you were in a in a wonderful state in the past but then you found yourself and this has happened to me many times where you lose yourself you lose this principle you stop practicing it in my case I forgot that I was a student of this as well not just a teacher and when you discover that you've lost it you'll find yourself in certain States of of being that you never really wanted to be
in and then your life started to create from that but just because you you left a good state of mind or or an awareness of being that you once were you're aware of being brilliant of being beautiful of being lovely of being powerful you're aware of this at one point then you forgot you can always go back you can't lose these things states of being are inside of us it's just like a snake that sheds its skin it's just like that the snake stays the same but the skin changes so the conscious being what that
conscious being is aware of being might change the state might change but the conscious being Remains the Same and so my I am isn't an affirmation it's not a string of words it's what am I aware of being right now I'm I could I can change what I'm aware of being right now I don't need anything external and in fact you you shouldn't need anything external you don't need to do anything on the outside to change what I'm aware of being I can be aware of being what others have called me and live my life
according to that because again I have to act for my being but once I become aware that I can change it I can become aware that I can go beyond what I have heard about myself go beyond what I was told about myself what my senses have revealed to me what has a world of mine that I'm in that is really just a responding world what this responding world has given me I can go inside myself and change who I'm aware of being now it doesn't require anything or qualification or anything like that it just
requires can you become aware of being something else I have a I have a post called why creation is finished might be one the most important lesson of or something like that and the point I'm trying to make there is that you have to see that these states of being this this these changing awarenesses is yourself so when you want to change yourself and and to become aware of something being new or something being different it's not so much that you're creating it it's more that it's already there you're just moving your awareness to that
area inside of you so you might be aware of being let's just take for example very you're unknown in the world you feel completely unknown and you don't have to be famous but you want to be a little bit known it's you start to become aware of being known you start to feel after it or become aware of it and I say aware over feel because at times trying to feel yourself to be something can be quite difficult that's why I don't love that definition I gave in the past it was sufficient for that time
but you really want to see it as an awareness and the way you get there is you have to ask yourself objectively what am I aware of being right now and you'll you'll claim that you're unknown you'll see that you're unknown you'll see that you're in a a state of awareness of being unknown I'm aware of being unknown then you can move when you see that and just start to become aware of being known you don't need anything other than your awareness you're changing awareness is the creative power it's not by making people know you
it's not by forcing anybody to know you it's by changing your awareness that is the cause of your your wealth your health your success uccess in your life is that's why Neville says your faith is your fortune but your faith in what your faith in I am it's your faith in your own awareness so you go off of faith and trust that you're known even if the world doesn't say and when you persist persistence is persisting in the I am of things and in this case I think the reason why I use that definition that
the present tense feeling of being was because of the idea of persistence because when you persist you do want to persist in feeling that you are that now or becoming aware that you're this now and when you when you see that it's an awareness you'll see that as I said you're not really creating these States they're more recognitions and realizations about yourself you're more realizing this about yourself you're not really creating it it's already there inside of you you're just recognizing it now that the state you can't really have the state of unknown and without
the state of being known inside of you now I can to the degree I believe which one I am to that degree I experience it so hopefully I can raise myself up and really truly believe by belief I mean become aware of being something greater you don't have to force anything you just start to become aware of being more than what you think you are right now you keep raising yourself so not through force on the outside but through the raising of yourself that you change your life but what am I changing well I'm changing
the creative force in my life which is my I am my awareness of being right now and when you hold on to it you'll see that when you hold on to it that even when you try to let it go maybe you fall out of the state that you want to be and you fall out of being aware of what you want to be you fall out it for whatever reason you'll see that you can't stop being aware of something so even though you might have wanted to leave a certain awareness of yourself into a
better awareness of yourself something more lovely and you fall out you're just going to go back to becoming aware of what you just wanted to leave so we can't stop being aware it's not really a choice what I'm aware of is the choice what am I aware of being that's the choice and again be objective about it meaning don't judge yourself or shame yourself for what you're aware of being don't do that there's just there's just no time for that the time is now to change what you're aware of being and it's always that and
you acted according to your awareness and everyone there's not one person here who has always saw themselves and honored the name I am everyone has Dishonored it at one point well I it's again it's not a name it's not I don't just say I'm wealthy I'm kind I'm beautiful that that's not really honoring the name it's actually being that regardless of whatever whatever the outside says regardless of it you assume Brilliance you assume that you're at the top you just assume it you assume that you're bright you assume that you're intelligent don't don't don't dishonor
the name and now assuming it I means that you become aware of being these things and then you'll see all the misspent energy that you gave to all these different conceptions comes right back to you you become energized motivated you actually can you act off of this because again you're going to act from something from some idea now you're going to act from these new ideas so that's really what it means to persist and what you'll find is that when you start to persist in becoming aware of something new about yourself you become aware of
being something different that new state of awareness will start to reflect in your life you'll go to your bookshelves you go you'll you'll just read something and it will reflect what you're aware of being somebody the people around you might change or by change I mean like literally there might be different people that come into your life that reflect this new state of awareness and you'll see that that the creative power in me is not forcing things on the outside to change it's changing what I'm aware of being that results in a change in my
life because it results in a change of myself and so to change oneself is to change what I'm aware of being so I'm keeping the message the same it's the same message I'm just trying to change the verbiage a bit and I actually enjoy this verbiage a bit more but hopefully that brought some clarity to this and and it allows you to see this from this from a different angle that again hopefully you can apply it in your life and apply it to yourself and I just want to let you guys know that I'm going
