Inhaltsangabe

An immensely practical, hands-on journey through the techniques of the most radical mystical figure of the last century, Neville Goddard, who taught that your mind is God. This fresh take from a powerful new voice appeals to the growing audience around Neville.

"According to Neville, there is only one power in the universe out of which all things emanate. Not a 'good' source and a separate 'evil' one, but one universal source bending in obedience to the creative will of men and women everywhere. The how remains a mystery; but this eternal fact is nonetheless true. As soon as I was able to feel and accept this to be true, I was free." --Katherine Jegede

Growing up in London, Katherine Jegede was always searching for a philosophy to make sense of life. When she found the mind-as-creator philosophy of Neville Goddard, she thought she had found it. Falling victim to a terrible crime, however, caused Jegede to rethink everything she thought she knew. Rather than abandoning Neville's ideas, however, she discovered within them a new source of strength and fortitude. She not only rebounded from her crisis, but also used Neville's creative-mind principles to become a television presenter, something she had never before imagined possible.

In this primer and introduction to Neville's methods, Jegede powerfully guides the reader through his techniques--and explains how to apply them, now, in your life.

Chapter 1

Metaphysics

Metaphysics is all of the underlying theoretical principles of creation. It is not merely concerned with the world you inhabit, but with everything that exists: that which is seen and known to you and that which is unseen and not known to you. It underpins every atom, it is absolute causation, and its true purpose is to bring about the rebirth of the soul of man-in other words, a radical psychological change in every individual.

This change, demonstrated by a sequence of spiritual and physical events, builds and builds, culminating in an exceptional empyreal event.

Unlike religious dogma open to interpretation, the principles of Metaphysics are singular, constant, and unmodifiable. They don't require any special knowledge or character trait, they are totally dependable, they are for your absolute good, but they are also only truly known through experience.

Anyone who wishes to know Metaphysics' theories and benefit from them must first be willing to put the principles of Metaphysics most rigorously to the test. Without personal experience, practical application, and physical evidence, these principles have no value.

b

Let us begin, then, with a summary of the three main ideas of Metaphysics. These ideas are ancient but they are highly practical in nature and serve as a guide for garnering a trenchant understanding of this enormous subject.

1. SELF-OBSERVATION. Before we can undergo a psychological change, we must become aware of the one to be changed, and we do this by keenly and uncritically observing our reactions to life. Many people are as yet unaware that there exists an inextricable link between our reactions and the conditions of our lives. This is because our reactions form the body of one's true self, which is our state of consciousness. It is our state of consciousness that is responsible for the circumstances of our lives, and once we are aware of our reactions, we are in a position to change them.

It is vital to note that only through self-observation can one of the most crucial discoveries of self be made-specifically, that we are the cause of that which displeases us. We are all quite accustomed to blaming others, blaming the circumstances and conditions of life for our unhappiness, and we are shocked when we discover that it was nothing more than-in Metaphysical-speak-our own deceitfulness that made us "suspicious of others."

This trait of deceitfulness is a condition of our nature that tends to look outward for explanations and must be accepted before any transformation can occur.

Man surrounds himself with the true image of himself . . . what we are, that only can we see.

-Emerson

Exercise

Relax in whichever way you choose, as long as you are still and in a comfortable position. Close your eyes, and breathe deeply and evenly. Once you feel calm and undisturbed, simply begin to notice your thoughts. What are the predominant ideas in your mind? How do you feel about what you are thinking? Notice what you think about on a daily basis and your feelings and reactions. These are the feelings that you most easily and often identify with. You may want to write down some of your thoughts. Repeat this exercise as often as necessary until you feel you are aware of your present state of consciousness.

2. CLARITY OF THOUGHT (DEFINITION OF AIM). Knowing exactly what it is you want-to be, do, or possess-is the crucial next step on the path to the attainment of your aims. Always think in terms of clarity of form. The clearer the image, the easier it becomes to physicalize, because your feelings toward it become stronger. Intensity of feeling is a magic ingredient. The stronger the feeling, the greater the internal commitment to make it your preeminent thought.

Even if you are entirely new to this ideology, I urge you not to put a limit on your aim. Creation is finished; you could not imagine something if it did not already exist. Rather than creating for ourselves out of "thin air," we come into contact with different aspects of creation that we go on to express. If you doubt me, then try to think of something that does not already exist in consciousness.

Logic and reason are the enemies of success in the world of the Metaphysical, so don't concern yourself with how your aim will become a reality; simply put the theory to the test. It will not fail you.

Exercise

Now knowing-having observed yourself-who you are, you must formulate a clear aim. Know exactly who it is you desire to be. While in a relaxed frame of mind, define the person that would exist in place of who you presently are. Then spend the day observing your reactions relative to this aim. By maintaining a clear aim, you are creating for yourself a potential new state of consciousness having its own reactions.

If your aim is to be respected, valued, wealthy, generous, or in excellent health, your reactions to the day's events will tell you whether you are walking in this state of consciousness or not. For example, a person conscious of good health isn't anxious or concerned about being ill. A person conscious of wealth does not get anxious over bills. "Assume" you are the person you desire to be by imagining what your reactions would be were your desire already a fact.

Your commitment to your aim will in time confirm your state of consciousness to you with an adjustment of the circumstances and conditions of your life. Your external environment always reflects the internal.

3. DETACHMENT. Detachment is both a willingness and an ability to separate oneself from the present state of consciousness in order to appropriate another. Having clearly defined your aim, you must detach from your present state of consciousness in order to take on the new consciousness contained within your aim.

This may seem strange at first, and you may feel powerless to stem the tide of negative thinking. This is because our reactions, our moods, our thoughts have felt like the most natural, spontaneous thing in the world. In reality we have simply become accustomed to them through habit. Have you ever considered why life seems so cyclical, why you seem unable to rid yourself of familiar problems and issues despite your best efforts? You have become identified with a particular state of consciousness wherein these things have their natural life. We must therefore practice detachment daily in order to break free.

Exercise

If you find yourself reacting to things that are not in accordance with your aim, stop it at once. Occupy your mind with other thoughts. Let nothing disturb the perfect image you have placed there.

Remain vigilant, observe your reactions constantly, and eliminate unwanted reactions by taking your attention away from any thought or feeling that does not conform to your ideal.

b

Metaphysics, its true purpose, and the road to mastery are rooted in these core ideas: self-observation, clarity of thought, and detachment.

Know who you are, then ask yourself what it is you want. Lastly, practice daily the art of detachment, which, once habitual in you, can be used repeatedly to bring about an inner separation between yourself and any undesirable state. Repeat this process, and sooner or later you will move into a deeper and more...
