Revision of Representation: As God You Change Your Life, and God Changes Their Lives

When you want to change a person to help them, you do not change them, you change you. You do not change their world, you change your inner man's perception of the world. You represent to yourself YOU as you would like to be. What would it be like FOR YOU if it were true that you were THAT you?

For you, an individualized consciousness of God, to have that experience, God must compel them to fulfill it. Compelling is his shtick; he does it invisibly without detection. They decide and make choices; it happens "naturally." You do not have to lift a finger or come up with compelling arguments or figure out anything, but trust God to figure out how to do it . . . and to do it. You change your world, and he changes the world.

In his lecture, "Repentance, a Gift of God (How to Really Pray)," Neville Goddard shares the experience of Freedom Barry, whom he had sent to San Francisco to teach the Law of Assumption (causation by imagining/faith). When he first arrived in the city, Freedom took his fox terrier out for a walk and was accosted in the street by a drunk who asked for a handout. Freedom declined, but said to himself, "I must apply this principle." He immediately represented that man to himself as being gainfully employed and in need of nothing. To himself. Freedom inwardly made unto himself a new experience of perception of that man. He did not change the man, except his experience of his perception. HIS experience of him. We change the experience of our inner man, our imagination, which is God.

Two weeks later Barry met the man in the street again, and he was gainfully employed and in need of nothing, or at least well on his way to it. He told Freedom that after he had asked him for a handout and had been denied, he felt so bad and ashamed about it that he went out and got a job, a good one. Freedom Barry had changed HIS OWN INNER BEING'S EXPERIENCE, and GOD changed the man to give Barry that experience. And the man was helped.
