Neville Goddard once said the following words. He said, an awakened imagination works with a purpose. It creates and conserves the desirable and transforms or destroys the undesirable. So how can you destroy the undesirable, aka how can you destroy your physical state right now, your physical reality right now, that does not reflect the state that you want to live in?
So in other words, an undesirable state, or the undesirable that you want to destroy, is for example a physical reality full of sickness and suffering when you desire health and wholeness. It might be a physical reality where you are broke financially, but you desire abundance in your life.
It might also be a reality in which you are feeling alone and lonely, and you want to manifest a loving relationship, you want to feel loved. So how do we destroy the undesirable in order to then conserve the desirable by using your awakened imagination? Neville Goddard teaches us that imagination is God.
That imagination is not just a mental faculty, but it is God operating within you, the creative power of the universe, and that your consciousness is the only reality. Which means that your outer world is merely a reflection of your inner state of consciousness, and you change your inner state of consciousness by going into the imaginal act,
and by seeing yourself, and of course then also by going into the feeling of the wish fulfilled, by feeling yourself into a new reality.
Which means you make an assumption. You make an assumption about a reality that you cannot see yet in your physical reality. That your physical senses cannot see yet, cannot taste yet, cannot touch yet. But you know, because you immerse yourself into this reality over and over again, you know that it's there. You know that it's a part of you. You know that it's a part of...
who you in this journey become. And this leads us to the becoming process, because with an assumption you turn yourself into the operant power, who then on this journey towards his or her manifestation becomes that which you want to manifest.
And therefore we not only need the assumption of the reality that you assume, but you also need to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Which means what you assume to be true in imagination will eventually become true in your reality if you feel it.
And while Neville Goddard said that the feeling of the wish fulfilled is not necessarily an emotion, you can also introduce emotions to the feeling of the wish fulfilled. For example, the feeling of the wish fulfilled might be a sense of calmness, a sense of knowingness, but at the same time you feel elevated emotions that you associate with the sense of calmness, that you associate with the sense of knowingness.
the only way for you to really allow yourself to go into the wish fulfilled, at least in my humble opinion, or let's say the best way to get there, is to combine the feeling of the wish fulfilled as a sense of calmness and knowingness with the emotion that you would feel during that time.
Because even though Neville Goddard said in his lectures that by feeling of the wish fulfilled is not meant an emotion, he shared different quotes with us that prove that Neville Goddard also sees incredible value in emotions. Because you want to feel what it truly feels like to be in this reality. And remember, feeling is the secret.
It's not just visualizing something that brings it about, but feeling it as real. And the only way for you to feel it as real is when you emotionally and emotionally
according to your senses in the present moment while you're, for example, in a deep meditation, feel it as if it's already yours. Because remember, you are always imagining, no matter if you're trying it or not, you are constantly imagining things. But unfortunately, a lot of people, and I used to be one of these people, always imagine the worst case scenario.
But if you imagine something that could actually go right instead of going wrong, this alone can already change your life. This alone can change the way you...
perceive yourself. And there we also go into your self concept, which exceeds the scope of this episode. But if you want to dive deep into your abundant self concept, and you're ready to become the abundant self, I invite you to work with me one on one in my one on one coaching program, which you can find out more about by going to affirmation to manifestation.com slash abundance, or by clicking on the first link in the description. But you're always imagining
No matter if you consciously do it or unconsciously. But unfortunately, we often unconsciously imagine the worst case scenarios. We imagine the scenarios we don't want to experience. And then we wonder, yeah, we wonder, why does our reality not come to us? Why do we stay in this state that we don't really want to be in? Well, it's because your imagination creates it. And now you might be saying, yeah, but I didn't exactly imagine the state that I'm in.
But by you always imagining the worst case scenarios, no matter if you're doing it consciously or unconsciously, and no matter if you're consciously aware of it or not, you are creating the equal in your life. You're creating the emotional equal, what is in alignment with that emotional state. Always keep that in mind, because imagination precedes experience.
Everything that you experience in the physical world always, at any point in time, begins as an inner image or belief. Every airplane that you see, every car you see, every building that you see, every smartphone you see, once started in the imagination, in the imaginary world, in the imaginary realm. It was just an idea until it became reality. I mean,
Not so long ago, people thought it was impossible to fly until somebody thought, hey, what if it was possible? Which means that if you're ready to manifest large sums of money with your imagination, you need to train your imagination for abundance.
You need to ignore the facts, so to speak, which are not really facts because your consciousness is your only reality and because your imagination creates your reality. But what we call physical facts in our physical reality, if they contradict your desire, you have to ignore them. You have to guide your attention away from them because what is real now in your physical reality is only a reflection of your past thoughts.
So don't let current circumstances dictate your beliefs. Instead, persist in the assumption that you are the abundant person that you want to be, that you are living the abundant life you want to live. Even if the outer world contradicts it, persistence will at some point override temporary appearances. It's inevitable, but only if you fully immerse yourself into this process.
Because always remember, states of consciousness are like rooms, and you can enter any state at will, just like you can enter any room in your apartment or your house, unless you of course lock the door. But if you lock the door in a metaphorical sense when it comes to manifesting, you're
The only way for you to lock the door is to either no longer do your manifestation practice or to have so much disbelief that you don't assign any meaning to what you're doing. Which means you go into meditation, you think to yourself: "It won't work anyway." Then yes, you're locking the door. But then even more, you have to realize that you have the freedom to remove this lock.
and to immerse yourself into a new state of consciousness. So how would your abundant self walk? How would your abundant self talk? What thoughts would your abundant self have throughout the day? What feelings would your abundant self have?
Always remember you are the operant power. There is no power outside of you creating your life. You have full authority through your imagination. You just have to claim this authority. Because imagination creates both favorable and unfavorable circumstances in your life.
Because whatever you mentally dwell on, whatever you imagine, no matter if it's wanted or unwanted, will manifest in your reality. So if you want to manifest large sums of money with your awakened imagination, then awaken your imagination right now by closing your eyes, of course, unless you're operating a vehicle at the moment, unless you're in a car, but...
Simply close your eyes when you have the opportunity and see yourself in an abundant reality. See yourself living the life you want to live. See yourself experiencing the experiences you want to experience that you would experience as the abundant self. That's how you become it. That's how you become wealth, how you become abundance.
