States - Edward Art (Neville Goddard Inspired)

so now we're going to talk about states it's crucial to unknown that we are in a world of states it's crucial to know this because states are beliefs or their feelings that we have towards ourselves that we feel are true as a present tense fact and that is what reflects in our world and you are the i am that precedes all states you're the being that enters into and exits out of states you're the being that occupies and leaves states um but you are always that being you're never the state itself states come with behaviors

they come with it's a perception of life that's why two people can experience a very similar someone could you know be at a concert and experience totally different experiences at the concert because it's their state of mind that allows them to that makes them perceive reality a certain way which makes them react to reality that certain way so no two really see reality the same way but um it's always important to remember that you aren't the state itself so that that means you aren't those behaviors those behaviors came from the state so there's no need

to guilt or shame yourself for the behaviors you've done it's just states fulfill themselves you have to fulfill the state you're in so you have to let go of everything you've done in the world because it's not even you you were the state you just occupied that state for that time and um it's important to know that that the celebrity and the man under the bridge are made of the same substance i am it's just rearranged differently there is a oneness between all of us no one is better than the others from a spiritual point

of view it's the same i am just playing a different character that's all it is and speaking of speaking of the poor man and the celebrity it's important that you take responsibility for both states that you're not just one this is crucial to understand because this will open your identity up it won't restrict yourself anymore you're not just poor you're also wealthy you're not just unknown you're also known you're not just afraid you're also fearless you're not just um unloved you're loved you're not just abused you're also praised you're both things if you take responsibility

for being both then you can move in and out of them and you know you're both because you can imagine being both it's just depending on which one do you want to actually persist in choosing the one that you consistently the state you consistently go to um shows you your dwelling place it shows you your inner home the one that you consistently go back to that's what will manifest now remember um remember what i'm about to say is going to be extremely important to understand imagine not to get things but to become imagine not to

get things but to become you know neville says that um i'm just going off the top of my head is that we must die to our sins and our sins are missing missing the mark now let's remember remember what i said in my past video is that david said to god you and you you and you alone god i have sinned against so we only sin against god we only sin against the i am okay so sin comes from not being the thing i want to be now neville says this he says we must die

to our sins and he's the common mistake he found when people when using the law of ascension is that people would focus so much on a bigger bank balance nicer furniture in their home they would focus on um material objects but they wouldn't but he goes that's not the conscious consciousness by which you die to your sins that's not righteous thinking righteous thinking is becoming the person the individual who has already those things it's not focusing so much about getting the objects about becoming the one who already has it it's so crucial to know it's

remember we only sin against the i am so we must to not sin for us to be righteous we must become a certain i am that already has the thing it's very important to know this so when you go to change we must change the conceptions of ourselves not so much focusing on getting objects and you know for example um two people could be one could be in a middle-class state and the other one could be in a wealthy state yet they're wearing the same clothes they can afford the same clothes but one knows themselves

to being a it's not just because you have the objects does not mean you are the person it's important that you remember to become the person and when you go to change your conceptions of yourself you must leave the world alone now what does that mean to leave the world alone well from my own experience this is what i do i do my daily tasks do your daily tasks during the day do whatever you have to do but learn to not react to your day the same way you won't react if you truly do this

at night time when it comes to night time this is the best time in my opinion to learn to imagine because the day's over there's nothing really to else to do and as i said in the past video you must remove the future from as if tomorrow's not going to happen and as if yesterday didn't happen so you remove the past and you remove the the the future from the mind but also now remove the entire world from the mind remember we have to make imagination the only reality and for it to be the only

reality there can't be things from the outer world affecting it now you leave the world alone what does that mean well you don't try to change it you just change the self within you you leave the world alone with all its doubtful words with all its fear and all its worry uh with all its limiting facts you leave it entirely the way it is you don't don't bother with it don't bother changing it truly see it as a mirror just leave it alone and what you do is you go within and change the conceptions of

yourself within imagination and then you associate yourself with that inner self that has already changed you make imagination the only reality by dropping and letting go of this temporal world this world is made up of persistent assumptions so learn to persist in a new assumption about yourself and it's not delusion delusion is thinking the belief is false and you're trying to force it upon yourself no you think this is true about yourself and you persist in being it and you don't need anyone's permission to do this you don't need to ask anyone these states are

like i said they're they're you're both states you can just appropriate the one you want you take it as yours because it's within you and everything within you is yours everything within you is yours i read that again everything within you is yours take it do not be afraid to take anything within you you don't need a permission from anyone there's no one else to ask there are no others in your mind so don't have to fear anybody everyone's reflecting you in your mind so it's important that you learn to learn to fall in love

with states you want to be with a version of yourself that you'd want me learn to fall in love with it because if you can fall if you can create a version of yourself or a state that you would like to be and you love it you will naturally commit to it um you won't find yourself swaying between other ones so take some time and think about what would i love to be if you find that and you fulfill that not only will it feel wonderful you will and it will feel natural to you you

will naturally persist in being that it won't feel like a work you know there's this example that neville gave this woman wanted to be an author and she said um what should i do neville like i want to be an author what would you do if you're in my position he goes here's what i would do this is neville speaking he goes i would imagine my book already being finished and i would see it um i'd see it outside of a window i would be looking at it from from the window at a bookstore and

then i'd have people lined up eager to buy my book waiting to get into the bookstore before it's closed right now and it's about to open and people are lined up to buy it and then i'd have people wanting my book so badly that i can't keep up with making copies of it because people want it so much that's what i would do and people would just use i'd have people just praise me tell me how wonderful my book is now if you if you really want to be an author and that was the case

you would feel wonderful for that right now think about this for a moment how hard is it to honestly persist in that see persistence is not a chore it's persistence is simply experiencing being the thing you want to be that's all it is it's being the person that who that is happening to so persistence is actually wonderful but we only need to persist because we need to make it natural to us that's the only reason you don't persist to become or persistent you already are you persist and already be in it because there's only i

am in the world so you must be in the i am of it so you persist in being it now now take this um this is a an uh you can think of it as a mantra or something to keep in the back of your mind this is something i've used something i say and basically it's this as far as i'm concerned i already am what i want to be the only thing i'm waiting for is for confirmation in my world repeat that again as far as i'm concerned i already am what i want to

be i'm only waiting for confirmation in my world now um we must learn to you know assume in the i am and to assume in the i am takes a a sort of madness a sort of bravery but you can do it you can do it if you know that everything's reflecting i am you truly can and you know neville said this one time he said he said that he had at one point he was in a world where he was it was so dark and he could not find the light he said he didn't

know where to turn it was i had no money none of this and none of that and i dared to assume that i was the man i wanted to be and i was where i wanted to be and strangely strangely enough it came out of the nowhere i didn't have to put my hand in the pocket of another to get it i did nothing of which i was ashamed of to get it it just happened now from my own experience things just happen when you feel natural about it within because it naturally expresses natural means

effortless it's just effortlessly expressing and that's what you want you don't want to have force anything remember when you when you feel like you're forcing yourself to do anything within yourself you force implies multiple powers at play there is no other power but you there are no other powers within you it's just you creating it all take that as the assumption when you go into the mind and feel that relief that there is nothing imposing upon you stomping you it's just yourself and um so you know go within your imagination tonight and feel as if

everything you desire within it has already been said yes to and learn to become instead of trying to be desperate and getting learn to become things in the mind focus on the state of being not necessarily objects focus on being it now and persistent being that now and make it wonderful make it lovely make it something that you would love to stay in for longer and you know lose yourself entirely in it when to lose yourself means to let go of the future the past and the outer world completely lose yourself in this imaginal act

yes it's a dream but you won't fail if you completely yield into that dream because the moment you yield into it as if it's the only reality it becomes the only reality so we turn dreams into realities in our minds and you have the power to do that all it takes is your willingness and of the acceptance that it already is so what is so an imagination becomes
