Practicable Technique for Mrs. T: Observing and Unobserving
And "How?" Mrs.T. asks, does one convince the subconscious of that?
Neville Goddard repeated often the need to think from the end. You have to know exactly what it is that you want, and enter the mental state of HAVING it. While you are in that state, you need to not think OF it but think FROM it. That is, the state of having has to become your PRESENT "real" reality. You put yourself there, right into the state you desire as if it was really where you ARE. For the moment, it IS! "You give it," he said, "all the tones of reality."
You do not think at all about wanting your desire to come, for how can you want to come what you already have? You imagine what you would do AFTER it has come because you DO have. If they accepted you, promoted you, paid you, or whatever, THEN what would you do? What would you see, hear, feel, etc., in the condition of having received it? You hear the congratulations, shake hands, say your thanks or whatever, and you keep on doing THAT until the imagined effect-state becomes your present reality. You really believe it, with praise and thanksgiving, which communicates it to the subconscious. Then the subconscious/God causes it.
Something cryptic in Neville's instructions is the bit about becoming the unconditioned awareness of being and falling into a sleepiness while still awake and floating above the facts of the world which deny that you have your desire. To this I apply what we learn from the double-slit tests, which imply that the powers beyond us become material when we observe them. If they have become the world I do not desire by my observation, I unobserve them. This does not make them unreal; it removes me from them. I don't really belong here, for I am "T. A. D." -- on temporary assigned duty -- serving on Noah's boat until my world arrives.
I think this is the gist of Neville's walking the streets of New York in November imagining he was on the balmy dirt paths of Barbados. You can't just step out in front of a taxi pretending it is a donkey, but you can deny its continuing influence upon your life. Isn't this what was meant by, "Deny yourself, and come, follow Me"? No wonder they tell you to not tell others what you are doing; they'll lock you up!
Napoleon Hill says in Think and Grow Rich (second page of chapter three), "Repetition of affirmation of orders to your subconscious mind is the only known method of voluntary development of the emotion of faith." This is a practice. You have to spend time in sessions DOING it. These are the standing orders of the Lord's Prayer: "Your name (nature) must be being hallowed; Your will must be being done; Your Kingdom must be being restored" (Fenton).
R. H. Jarret in IT WORKS! says to know exactly what it is that you want, and tune in to your HAVING it. Well, okay, that was me, but he meant it. Make a list of such "possessions" and schedule in your day sessions of reading the list. Think about these possessions frequently; obsess about the world you belong to. Be industrious and loyal toward it.
Much is said about not doing anything to achieve your desires, as the Ineffable Divine Intelligence is fully capable of producing them without your input. Much is also said about increasing your spiritual vibration to attract the things you desire to you. I call "BS" on the so-called Law of Attraction, for there is no wealth rolling down the street to any houses I know of. Iron filings do NOT have the same vibrational rate as the magnetized atoms in the magnet. The Law of Attraction works simply because it is the Law of Assumption renamed by people who do not want to admit there is a God with whom they are dealing and to whom they are accountable.
In implementing their "Law" they assume they have, and God does the rest. That's a "Hello, yes, I am really here," from him, but they don't want to hear it. As far as magnetization, that is a cool concept, but it isn't like a magnet attracting things to it. It is like being one of the atoms IN the magnet. THEY have a charge, a liveliness and an order to them. You, in increasing your vibrational rate, become associated with that like order of life. You are not a slug anymore. You take on vibrancy, vivaciousness, liveliness, go-gettingness. Things are not a chore, you don't mind the things that used to bother you, you are industrious, a "live-wire." Your positive mental attitude endears you to people, and you naturally become associated less with slugs and more with people of like disposition -- similar "atoms" of the magnet. You are transplanted into that world. The wealthy and successful have active, positive lives. Neville pursued his knowledge seven days a week. Hello, New Magnet World.
What would that new world be like? Assuming your nobility and acceptance in that world, what one small action or expression would signify that the whole of it exists for you? Neville wanted passage on a steamship. In the sleepy state bordering sleep, but still having complete control of his thoughts, he revised his past to his having the tickets for the passage, and consequently climbing the gangplank onto the ship with his family. And that action he repeated until it took on all the tones of reality. The garment manufacturer who wanted payments due him, revised his past into having received the payments -- fully believing they had been paid, and wrote thank you notes to his clients. Then he received the payments and could send out the notes. The woman estranged from her son's wife and son revised her past and read imagined letters that had arrived from them. This she did faithfully (it is a practice!), and then the letters arrived and the estrangement was over.
The same can be achieved by remembering this past in the future that is desired. I have to admit this is a weird one for me. I put myself into the future state as though it were my present, and "remember" the "past" I am presently in. Maybe I want to be an Air Force officer, and clearly BEING one in my imagined but very much believed reality, I remember when I was sitting at home dreaming of it.
Tune into the state of having what you want, and choose to serve the state you mentally observe. Convince your subconscious -- the consciousness of God -- by practicing believing.
