What Life is All About: We Are Here to Learn How to Imagine, Because by Learning How to Imagine, We Become What We Are
Life is about learning how to imagine. Sorry if that seems rather anti-climactic. It is more exciting than you might think. By learning how to imagine, we become what we are.
In the very first verse of the Bible, the Beginning created God, the Heavens and the Earth. It (the Beginning, or the "Ineffable") did that by imagining in a certain way. That is what we are going to learn.
The name of the first book in the Bible is Creation (Aramaic: breetah). It is about imagining: the Beginning created God by imagining; God created the world by imagining; man created Acquisition (Cain) by imagining, and then forgot the program (Abel).
Imagining is what it is all about. There is worldly imagining we use to invent, design and build things; weak, dualistic religious imagining we use to invent, design and build religions; and effective, spiritual causative imagining we use to invent, design and build the world. All those guys who lived 900 plus years before the flood were not people, they were ways of imagining. Their "names" are natures--states of IMAGINING--which are a formula of rising above the flood of the "facts" of the world that say that what we imagine is not. Floating in our own world above the facts and resting in YHWH--Jesus Christ--our imagined world becomes.
We are learning how to imagine BECAUSE IMAGINATION IS GOD. That is what this is all about. The imagination is God.
And the imagination is you. That is what this is all about. All the history in the Bible is psychological. The Jews are descendants of Abraham? Fine. But the Abraham in the Bible is an allegory of imagining as a friend of God, of knowing that God is merciful. God supplies his own sacrifice--the lamb is your imagination.
We got here by imagining AS man. We get back by imagining AS God. We get over all of our problems by imagining our way out of them. Don't know how to imagine your way out of your problems? Jesus Christ, your imagination, says, "Come unto Me." How do you go to your imagination? Imagine! You can talk to your imagination in your imagination, and do not be surprised if he answers audibly in your imagination!
He said, "I am come that you might have life." Because he is life. Our imagining is our deliverer and our savior. It is Jesus Christ who takes us into the Promised Land, because he is God and our imagination.
We were sent here to learn better imagining techniques. We were imagining responsively as sunflowers (ref. Neville Goddard's lecture "Unless I Go Away"), as prophets; but God wants persons, individuals like unto Itself. We are God's spirit (consciousness) becoming self-initiated individuals OF ITS SAME NATURE. We are learning to imagine as the Most High God--AS It, because we ARE It! This is the process to becoming an improved version--an upgraded God: this is the YHWH process in YHWH: this is the destiny for which the universe exists.
The value of Neville's lectures is not that we might learn to manifest, but that we might learn that we are--our imagining is--God.
Neville learned the Law, and he was excited about it, for when it worked he could see that God was behind it. "When it works, you have found Him!" He wasn't joking.
After Neville experienced the Promise, though, he didn't care poop for the Law except one might find God by it. People stopped coming to his lectures about the Promise. "I'll preach it to the walls, then," he said. "I preach it morning, noon and night to anyone who will listen. It is the ONLY message. There is NO other message." That is not a direct quote, but you will certainly find this sentiment in his lectures. There is NO other message but that our imagining is God, and our destiny is to be the Ineffable, AS the Ineffable. We have got some learning to do.
Do you see the supreme irony? Our imagining is David of Biblical fame. "The Holy Spirit speaks by me," he says, THE Holy Spirit of God--Its own consciousness. The intelligent Power that is Life Itself, the precious Most Holy, Almighty God Itself--the Ineffable . . . is our imagination. And people want manifestation.
HEY!!! Listen to Abel. Learn how to imagine.
