TRANSCRIPT (Neville Goddard speaking):
Now, this is what I mean by living in the end. Robert Frost, just a year before he departed this sphere, he wrote this story for Life Magazine. And he said the founding fathers did not believe in the future. What a shock that they did not believe in the future! They believed it is. He said we are always imagining ahead of our evidence. And the most creative thing in man is to believe a thing is.
If I know what I want when I pray, believe that I receive it and I will.
Well if that precept is true, literally true, to be accepted literally and fulfilled literally, then what am I doing not believing? I should actually know exactly what I would like to be. And discovering what I would like to be as against what I seem to be, dare to assume that I am it and my assumptions are false – if persisted in will harden into fact. That i know from my own experience and I know it’s a law.
Therefore, if someone is not becoming the man that they would like to be and they’d tell me, but I once imagined it and it didn’t work, then what are you doing now? I’m still not imagining it. If imagining creates reality, what are you imagining?
Look at the morning’s paper and I’m filled with everything I should not feast upon: all the horrors of the world, all the negative states of the world. After having read it for an hour, then i must either regurgitate or in some strange way rub it out because I can’t go through life feeding upon such nonsense.
But if I really know what I want, what you want, what we want and persuade myself that we have it, if my premise is sound that imagining creates reality, I should in the not distant future hear you tell me that it’s worked for you, and the other one tells me, and I, in turn, tell you. And go through life sharing this marvelous news with others.
So I say live as though it were true, just as though it were true. So if I believe it and accept it, well then I will live by it. Is there anything in this world that wasn’t first imagined? Name one thing or point at one thing in this world that is now considered to be real that wasn’t first only imagined. What is now proved was once only imagined. All objective reality is solely produced through imagining.
