Decide what you want and ask yourself what it would be like and how you would feel if it were true. Then dare to assume you have it. Let the people who know you now see you after your assumption. Don't make them see you; let them see the change!
There is not a moment in time when imagination is not acting, causing the events of the world. You may not remember your thoughts and deny you have anything to do with what you are reaping, but you can only harvest what you plant.
No matter what it is you desire, remember: nothing is impossible. What is now proved was once only imagined, so begin by imagining a state and persuading yourself that you are in it. Blake said: "The ancients believed that if you are self-persuaded, it was so. There was a time in Imagination when a firm persuasion removed mountains."

What is our real purpose for being in this world? It is to awaken to knowledge of ourselves as spiritual beings in relationship to a Reality which, not confined by space, time, or relative circumstances, is infinite. When realization of transcendent knowledge is accomplished--when it is completely and permanently unfolded--we can live freely in the physical realm with enlightened understanding. When we are fully enlightened while expressing through a body, our awareness extends beyond the sense-perceived environment to include all planes and dimensions of the cosmos--and beyond them, to eternity. It is only the soul's confinement of awareness to an erroneous belief of independent selfhood that limits it. The truth is, because the soul is a unit of God's consciousness, it is infinite
You can remove the seemingly mountainous obstacles which confront you by simply ignoring them and assuming the end. And if you have to go over the mountain, you will, or the mountain will be removed.
Whatever is necessary to be removed for you to fulfill what you have assumed, will be done for you as long as you remain faithful to yourself, the source of all life
Right now you can use your powerful imagination to assume you are what at the moment your senses and reason deny.
Leave the state containing poverty and move into the state containing wealth, and wealth will take on reality. This room has reality and substance because you are thinking from it.
When I say all things exist in the human imagination, I mean infinite states; for everything possible for you to experience now, exists in you as a state of which you are its operant power.So I tell you: the most creative thing in you is to enter a state, and believe it into being.
Walk in this assumption, knowing you are all imagination, and all things are possible to you.
Dare to believe in the reality of your assumption and watch the world play its part relative to its fulfillment.
Your assumption may appear to be false when first imagined; but if you will persist, it will harden into fact, because God is he who is doing the assuming.
All of the objective facts you see here on earth are only shadows, which fade because imagination is their reality
Take me at my word and test yourself. Take a sentence as my friend did, or a picture that would imply the fulfillment of your desire. Hold it in your mind's eye. Don't tell anyone, but persuade yourself of its truth and drop into a deep sleep. If you do this, no power on earth can stop your desire from objectifying itself.
Think of the world as a sounding box, echoing and reflecting what you have assumed. Listen to your friends comment on your change. See their faces expressing their pleasure on your good fortune. Wear that feeling as you now wear your present body of belief. Continue to wear that new state and in no time at all your desire will objectify itself and become a fact in your world. Then you will know who the cause of the phenomena of life really is.
Ask yourself this simple question: What would it be like if it were true that I am now the person I want to be? Then reach for its feeling, its spiritual sensation. What is that? I'll show you in a very simple way. Feel a piece of glass, now feel a baseball. Does the baseball feel like glass? Can you feel a tennis ball? Does it feel like a baseball or a piece of glass? Can you feel a piece of cloth, a violet, a piano? Do they all feel alike? Of course not. That's spiritual sensation - a vivid way of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and feeling reality.
I tell you that imagination creates reality and I ask you to imagine a state, any state, which would imply the fulfillment of your desire. It doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks; it's what you think that matters to you! If you create a scene which implies the fulfillment of your desire and dwell in it until you have an inner conviction that it is real, what does it matter what another thinks?
Put your trust in God's name. Knowing what you want, believe that your assumption will make it a fact. Believe that you need no one on the outside to aid you, for all things are possible to God. Assume things are as you want them to be, for an assumption, persisted in will harden into fact!
You want to be rich? That's the story of Jesus, which is a persistent assumption in the conviction that "I am rich," for unless you believe that "I am rich" you die in your sins and continue to claim "I am poor." You want to be known? Then persistently assume: "I am known." Want to be healthy? "I am healthy!" Regardless of what you want to be, you must declare you already are it and persist in that assumption.
An assumption is an act of faith, and without faith it is impossible to please God. Your reasoning mind may deny wealth. Your senses deny it too, but if you have faith you will dare to assume wealth, thereby becoming the man you want to be.
So now you are urged to examine yourself to see whether you are holding to the faith. Are you accepting as facts the headlines you see in the paper? The telephone call you just received! The morning's mail or the news on TV which suggest unlovely, horrible things to you? A friend calls, and pouring out all the bilge in the world tells you how bad things are and how they are destined to get worse. As you listen, their woes enter and are assumed by you.
Now, if you understand this law that imagining creates reality, you should, like a computer, choose what you are going to allow to enter. And when the conversation is finished and your friend's voice is still fresh and clear in your ear, hear her changed words, the changed tone of her voice, and feel the joy emitted there.
The reading of spiritual books causes the reader to cease his own thinking, and to look on High, receive, feel, experience that which quickens him, blesses and illumines him. He forgets himself, and for the time lives in Spirit, above the body, and, later, when he takes up conscious thinking, he finds great uplift present, joy and gladness, for has he not been viewing heavenly Realities, listening to supernal glories, touching divine heights?
Many have spent years in the study of Truth yet have not fulfilled the desires of their hearts because they have tried to mentally acquire Truth instead of to spiritually understand it."
To us, the question is not if God is on our side, but are we on God’s side? How shall we know? Very simply. Do we have continuous Light and Illumination in our heart? Do we have Love, Unity and Freedom? Let each one answer these questions for himself."
No harm can come to me; nothing can disturb me, for Right Thinking is the Rock
which supports me; blesses me; redeems me. To have health, I must think health; To have joy,I must think joy; To reap abundance, I must think abundance.
Expectancy is the open door to receiving, so expect to run and to leap today.Expect to hear perfectly, see perfectly, now. Expect that because all Life is perfect and divine, that you can never be less than perfect.
Expect the floodtides of strength, joy, activity, peace, harmony, wisdom, love, understanding, to unfold to you individually, as flow the waters over the Niagara banks, without limit. This is the hope that passeth understanding; The joy that is King: The Christ which sayeth Galway, " Be of Good Cheer".
There is no failure, loss, sorrow, sickness in perfect and adorable Life; hence, none for meto experience. I am this understanding Mind; I can think in conformity with the facts of Life; I will apply my understanding to my problems at hand and the results are sure.
Blessed are they who understand that Joy, Praise, Love, Faith, and Gratitude, are their divine heritage, for theirs is the Kingdom of Harmony. The only real Law in me is the Law of Health and Harmony and this Law in me is now being fulfilled.
For example, if man finds himself in pain in this world, let him turn away entirely from this world and look into heaven, remembering what he actually is in heaven, the same as the dreamer remembered his car and his fifty-dollar bill, so this man in pain in the waking state remembers that man in heaven is perfect, that man in heaven has no pain, that there is no pain in the perfect world; then the pain is gone and he moves again in peace and harmony.
Yet, since the nothing holds all creation, it is there, it is here-"
-----------
We. are to see first of all that we are dealing with nothing, dealing with creation, dealing with magic, with that which is plastic; dealing with dreams that come true on the instant, where one thing good and right to have is always at hand.
We are to see that the wish is already fulfilled, for all creation is at hand in the nothing. To grasp this simple yet stupendous idea is to live a life of charm and freedom.
It was the wonderful Jesus who uttered the covenant, "All things are possible to him that believeth." When we can believe that all things are possible, then they are possible.
And this is easy to believe when we perceive HOW and WHY all things are possible.
To even faintly perceive the nothingness of creation hence the possibility of anything, of everything on the instant, is to feel a release, an emancipation not equal to expression.
If you have a wish like the selling of a house or owning of a car or whatever the wish might be, know that this wish is fulfilled on the instant, for your wish is like the object (image) that stands in the mirror (mind). When you see an object in a mirror you know very well that there is an original standing before the mirror, do you not? when you have a wish you may be sure the original or the fulfillment of that already exists, else this wish or reflection would not be taking place in your mind (mirror).
-----------------------------------------
Now when you wish to demonstrate creation you must be certain, you must be strong and unwavering. You take seeds and plant them in the ground, the nothing, and duly they spring forth or are externalized. So also plant your wish in the nothing, in the unknown or mirror and surely it will be reflected or externalized for you.
When a demonstration is rightly made every detail is satisfactory, and harmony is demonstrated for everyone concerned.
It is not enough for us to declare that we are spiritual beings, not enough for us to assert that we are living in a perfect world, but we must FEEL it. Spiritual Consciousness is not emotion of the mind but is an inner feeling, a full, deep sense of joy, peace, fulfillment. (ANTICIPATION)
Man is not to ascend, evolve, develop, attain success, but on the contrary it is as though man were wrapped in a veil and he must pierce this covering. lt is as though man were walking through a great wilderness and must find himself. Man must rend the veil. He must strip off the disguise. He must "come to himself." He must "stand still and behold.
-----------------
Out of the mirror springs anything that is before the mirror and out of the mirror of clear mind springs the nothingness called material creation, -houses, lands, jewels, business opportunities. My world of fortune is within. It is not dependent upon certain cities, certain beliefs, certain people. The finished attainment, the possession of all fortune is within man.
In the midst of our sickness, we are Health.
In the midst of our poverty, we are Wealth.
In the midst of our sorrow. we are Joy.
Let us see and acknowledge ourselves as we ARE.
Let us claim our dominion and power and glory from on High. Let us know that we are not to be given a perfect body some time after we depart from this world, we are not to be given power and health and joy some day in some other future world, but NOW are we clothed in the body of shining light. NOW are we crowned with that glory greater than the sun. Now are we the possessors of the wealth of the whole universe.
-----
This is not human evolution but this is divine revelation. Let us approach this Instruction, this Truth as though it were true, as though we believed in it with all our hearts and souls. Let us listen to it as though we were listening to the most exquisite of music, as though we were walking through places of indescribable beauty. Let us FEEL this Truth to be true. Let us see that it is not a question of attaining but a question of accepting
