True clairvoyance rests, not in your ability to see things beyond the range of human vision, but rather in your ability to understand that which you see.
These inner movements not only produce corresponding outer movements: this is the law which operates beneath all physical appearances. He who practices these exercises of bilocation will develop unusual powers of concentration and quiescence and will inevitably achieve waking consciousness on the inner and dimensionally larger world.
Regardless of occasional experiences to the contrary, it is your destiny to rise to higher and higher states of consciousness, and to bring into manifestation more and more of creation’s infinite wonders. Actually, you are destined to reach the point where you realise that, through your own desire, you can consciously create your successive destinies.
If you judge after appearances, you will continue to be enslaved by the evidence of your senses. To break this hypnotic spell of the senses you are told, “Go within and shut the door.” The door of the senses must be tightly shut before your new claim can be honoured. Closing the door of the senses is not as difficult as it appears to be at first. It is done with effort.
To realise your desire, an action must start in your imagination, apart from the evidence of the senses, involving movement of self and implying fulfillment of your desire. Whenever it is the action which the outer self takes to appease desire, that desire will be realised.
This very day start your new life. Approach every experience in a new frame of mind – with a new state of consciousness. Assume the noblest and the best for yourself in every respect and continue therein.
The journey is in yourself. You travel along the highways of the inner world. Without inner movement it is impossible to bring forth anything. Inner action is introverted sensation. If you will construct mentally a drama which implies that you have realised your objective, then close your eyes and drop your thoughts inward, centering your imagination all the while in the predetermined action and partake in that action, you will become a self-determined being.
No, you cannot know this intellectually, you cannot debate it, you cannot substantiate it. You can only feel it. You can only be aware of it.
Prayer modifies or completely changes our subconscious assumptions, and a change of assumption is a change of expression.
Becoming aware of it, one great emotion permeates your being. You live with a perpetual feeling of reverence. The knowledge that your creator is the very self of yourself and never would have made you had he not loved you must fill your heart with devotion, yes, with adoration. One knowing glimpse of the world about you at any single instant of time is sufficient to fill you with profound awe and a feeling of worship.
Our deepest feelings are precisely those we are least able to express, and even in the act of adoration, silence is our highest praise.
If you want to change yourself, become indifferent to things you cannot change – other peoples’ opinions and events clearly outside of your control – and focus inwardly. How you treat other people is no different than how you treat your own thoughts.
Remember the reward is to the one who endures. Stand still. Standing still is the deep conviction that all is well; it is done. No matter what is heard or seen, you remain unmoved, conscious of being victorious in the end. All things are made by such agreements, and without such an agreement there is not anything made that is made. “I AM that I AM.
When a man believes in the value of the advice given him and applies it, he establishes within himself the reality of success.
Your imagination is the instrument, the means, whereby your redemption from slavery, sickness, and poverty is effected. If you refuse to assume the responsibility of the incarnation of a new and higher concept of yourself, then you reject the means, the only means, whereby your redemption – that is, the attainment of your ideal – can be effected.
Claim yourself to be the thing desired. I AM that; no sacrifice, no diet, no human tricks. All that is asked of you is to accept your desire. If you dare claim it, you will express it.
Prayer – the art of believing what is denied by the senses – deals almost entirely with the subconscious. Through prayer, the subconscious is suggested into acceptance of the wish fulfilled, and, reasoning deductively, logically unfolds it to its legitimate end.
It is our inner conversations which make tomorrow’s facts.
Ends run true to origin.
Choose wisely the state that you will serve. All states are lifeless until imagination fuses with them.
