"If You Live Aramaicly": Moses, Ashur, Religion, and "According to the Scriptures"

You never know what odd bit of insight you will pick up from Victor Alexander's translations from the Ancient Aramaic. Like the stone in Zechariah chapter 4:

"What did you see?"

"I saw a Menorah of gold and a little stone on top of her . . . and there were two olive [branches] upon her, one from the right of the little rock, and one from the left. What are these, my lord?"

"These are . . . [according] to my spirit," said the Almighty Lord . . . "to bring forth the corner stone of providence and mercy . . . for those who denigrate without those shall gaze and see the Stone of Selection in the hands of Zerubabel."

"And what are these two olive [branches] from the right of the Little Stone and from its left?"

"These are the two sons of anointing that stand before the Lord of all the earth."

A stone. A rock. Just a little rock: a fact. A little "fact" that happens to be the corner stone. The chief cornerstone. It feeds the gold Menorah, and is fed by the faith of the two witnesses.

I find this interesting. For I believe the Messiah manifested at the end of the Season of Grace (from the destruction of the first Temple to the destruction of the second Temple) was a pervasive spirit among the faithful TO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES. THAT is why I was excited when I noticed in Galatians 2:14's note that Peter had been living "Aramaicly"; that is, ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES!

Paul called to Peter's attention that among the Gentiles he had been living according to the scriptures. The scriptures being always scribed in the ancient Aramaic language, that was living "according to the Aramaic"; i.e., according to the scriptures: Aramaicly. It is an adverb: how he lived.

What is "according to the Aramaic scriptures?" Recognition of God's oneness with everyone, everything included. Living with faith in God's provision, that what we need HAS ALREADY BEEN PROVIDED. It is like Neville's technique as a constant attitude. THAT is "Messiah," Jesus Christ, the Little Stone above the Menorah -- the Chief Cornerstone.

Moses was in Egypt. He didn't really belong there, but that was his prevailing world. On Mount Horeb (meditation?), he discovered that creation is God's becoming what is imagined. See Victor Alexander's notes on Exodus 3:14.

Let me say that again: Creation is God's becoming what is imagined. That is His nature: He manifests as the experience desired. As Neville said, "When it works, you have found Him: your own, wonderful, human imagination."

That was how Peter had been living, but when Jews came from Jacob's (James') group, he felt he'd better act religiously Jewish. Paul saw the disparity: YOU CANNOT IMPRESS GOD WITH RELIGIOUS OBEDIENCE TO ANY LAW. ONLY BY LIVING ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES -- LIVING "ARAMAICLY" -- BY HEEDING THE FAITH: LOVE, JOY, PEACE, ONENESS, MERCY, GRACE, COMPASSION, FULFILLMENT, GENTLENESS, FAITH, PATIENCE, and HOPE (Galatians 5:22-23) -- by manifesting God's nature! His nature is the "name" everywhere referred to: YHWH!

Moral of the story: lead the outsider to live according to the Aramaic scriptures, "Aramaicly." Ashur is the Creator God of the Aramaic speaking people, and I believe that Ashur means the Imagination the Ineffable Most High. That is our "God." For to create the world the Ineffable imagined everything complete. Everything has been created. The faith is to imagine that we HAVE what we desire, to experience the effect of it so that the cause of it may come. Because that is the way God rolls, by the Law of Assumption. Religion is only a guide to get to that practice. Make certain that you and they latch onto that Little Stone, the FACT of the nature of God which lights the Lamps of our lives.

I don't think Mr. Twenty-Twenty will mind my sharing this story. I do not mean to endorse John's commercial packages, but I like this story:

REVISION WORKS AGAIN

https://freeneville.com/revision-works-again-free-neville-goddard/

“As you review your day, it is important to revise each negative reaction so that you can remember it as what you wished had happened rather than storing that memory as it did occur. What you think of with feeling or emotion is an actual fact. That which you experience in the physical world is merely a shadow, reflecting the reality of your imaginal activity. Therefore, when you revise a conversation, an unhappy experience, or a quality about yourself, you are literally experiencing it in reality (your consciousness).” – Neville Goddard

K: Hi Mr TT,

I just wanted to share my success story using Neville’s revision technique with you. Revision works!!

Here it is:

About four weeks ago, I sold an item on one of the online auction websites for $99. A week later, after receiving the item, the buyer filed a claim with the auction site stating the item was ‘not as described’, and demanding his money be refunded.

Knowing the item was in perfect condition when mailed, I suggested filing a damage claim with the postal service since the item was insured. I also offered to send a brand new replacement. The buyer refused both offers and demanded the refund.

A few days later I received an email from the auction site stating they had refunded the buyers money and had closed the case. I was to immediately reimburse them the $99.

At this point I was feeling like a victim, angry and upset. Definitely not what I wanted. So, what did I want? I grabbed a pen and wrote it down.

“I love that even though the auction co. refunded the buyer’s money, I got to keep my money too! I love that the buyer is happy and I am happy. I love that the auction co. let me keep my money. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

TT and V: Notice, Kathleen took a few moments to get absolutely clear about about what her desire is. Some people can do this in their head. Some people write it out. Some people take a walk and talk it out.

The big key is to get just detailed enough that it feels good, and that it is EXACTLY what you want. Sort what you want, or kind of what you want, or “just better” is usually to vague and not effective.

K: That felt good to me, exactly what I wanted.

I decided to do as Neville suggested and revise it.

TT and V Note: The POWER wasn’t in the writing, many people make that mistake. The power is always unleashed and directed by Following-The-Formula. In this case, by doing REVISION.

K: For the next 6 days I continued to receive emails from the auction co. demanding reimbursement of the $99. Each day I mentally revised their letter and imagined reading an email saying we have reversed our decision and have decided in your favor, you get to keep your money. That felt good.

TT AND V: This stuff FEELS GOOD (it doesn’t feel bad) if you are doing it effectively. It’s like smelling the meal as it cooks. Yummy! Getting to experience every day the great feeling of, “Yes it worked in my favor” is a great feeling, and a great way to live.

K: I decided to reimburse the auction co. in good faith, but continued to imagine the results I wanted every time I thought of the incident.

TT and V: Never EVER lose your faith. Even if you have to “walk in the valley of death” or do what the world demands. Keep your faith, do your Feel It Real sessions.

K: Even though I reimbursed the $99, I continued to receive emails almost daily, threatening to turn me over to a collection agency.

On the 12th day, I decided to call the auction co. just to make sure they knew I had already reimbursed them so they would stop threatening me.

TT and V: This is a very interesting Bridge Of Incident. We have many times experienced something similar. Just like when Neville manifested the tickets to the sold out opera for his brothers – a challenge showed up. When challenges show up – meet them head on – just like Neville did. And just like Kathleen. And KEEP THE FAITH.

K: After a nearly two hour wait on hold, their agent came on the phone and said, “Sorry for the long wait, but I’ve been reviewing your case and I am reversing our decision in your favor. We are going to let the buyer keep his money and we are returning your $99. Thank you for your business.”

They promptly sent me an email just as I had been imagining and returned my $99.

Revision works!

Thank you for all of your wonderful posts. I’ve decided I want to get your Manifesting Mastery 90 day course soon.

Sincerely,
Kathleen Miller

TT and V: Great job Kathleen. Thank you for sending us such a detailed success story. We love them.

Neville Goddard's Pruning Shears of Revision Have Physics Behind Them

I am a caption scientist; that is, I only know what I get from the captions of science pictures. I am trying to wrap my head around the double-slit tests. They imply that the building blocks of matter only become material at the point of our experience.

It is not that what is out there is not really there; it's that it isn't necessarily material yet. It comes to us as power, energy. At our experience/observation of it, it becomes matter. So we do not really see until power enters our experience. This is spooky action at no distance. Maybe the materiality of the world really is an illusion.

It seems that matter is evolving out of consciousness, out of the power that is the Ineffable's imagination. It would do this to facilitate our experiences; that is, the Ineffable's experiences. THOSE ARE IN US. We are them, because God is us, and we are here to have experiences -- the manifestation.

Revision is by definition correction of the past. Something happened which you wish had not. Or something did not happen which you wish had. You were somewhere and you wish you were somewhere else. We can revise events in our minds and memories to have them the way we wish they had been: "This is what happened . . . " THIS IS HOW YOU PRAY, YOU KNOW. You ask God to imagine something, and you agree with Him because you know that He hears you and that you HAVE your request.

God, the consciousness or imagination of the Ineffable, doesn't need to influence or move physical matter around to bring our desires into fruition. He only has to imagine them; that is influence enough. Power, not matter, I imagine finds it easier to move around. In the case of my own personal healings, the imagining and taking of the desired form was in-house: He didn't have to influence or move around anything external.

Invite God to Imagine You Healed, Having What You Want

I have replayed my healings many times in my mind trying to discern what it was that instigated the healing. I think I detect a feature. In each instance God was invited in some way to imagine me healed. With Charles Hunter we all were directed to examine our limbs to see if any were uneven length. Held up to YHWH, he said, "Jesus, please make all these (limbs held up to you) the right length." God imagined thus that they were the same length, and they became so, including my shorter arm.

At Christian Chapel, up in the prayer room Bradley placed his hand on my hyper-extended lower vertebrae and said, "Jesus, let my hand be your hand, and heal Dan's back." God imagined thus Bradley's hand was His hand healing my back, and my back was healed. 

Again, the muscle between my left shoulder blade and spine was killing me. Getting ready for bed, I was thinking of how everything in my experience was God's imagination, the Intelligence of the Ineffable Most High. Marveling, my mind reeling in the thought, I said to that Intelligence, "You can heal me." And the pain vanished.

Kathryn Kuhlman said so emphatically, "O Holy Spirit, you are welcome here." That is God's imagination. "Heal." And He did.

Ask God to imagine you healed, having what you want. 

Matter Begs the Question: God's Imagination is the Answer

Physicalists presuppose the universe is material and that everything has evolved from matter. They do not deny consciousness, but insist it is matter based, that consciousness has evolved out of matter.

I am not a physicalist. I believe the universe exists as the power of the Ineffable's consciousness, i.e., the Ineffable's intelligence, and that intelligence becomes matter to facilitate the Ineffable's experience. It does so (becomes matter) at the demarcation of 'us' because we are the interface of the Ineffable with the universe. I.e., we are the loci, the place where the experience of the Ineffable happens.

We are in kind of a Twilight Zone. We are spirit, the consciousness of God, yet we are bound in and by these senses to human experience. God -- the Big Guy (actually an intelligence field) -- is in heaven (heaven being the skull, or 'mind'), and that is us; yet we are blocked from experiencing that intelligence by a firmament of ignorance. So we are both God and man. We are on the God side, really, but are stuck experiencing man.

Are you with me so far?

All we know from birth is matter. Matter is the whole of our experience in these bodies as we learn. We assume that matter is all there is, because that is all we experience. What we did not know (until scientists discovered in 1925) is that everything beyond our observation in this human experience is power, not matter. We assume and presuppose wrongly that everything in the universe is matter. Actually, outside of us there is nothing but the power of the Ineffable's imagination. The intelligence of that imagination only becomes material -- particulate matter -- when in our experience we believe that it is what we believe it to be. It and we are one in the Ineffable's manifestation -- that said experience in the second paragraph, above.

This is the magic of Exodus 3:14 in the ancient Aramaic: "Ahiyeh Ashur hiyeh." (I know I have translated it differently a dozen times; this is not a translation but its meaning:) "I am not other." (See Victor Alexander's notes on the meaning of these three words: http://www.v-a.com/bible/supporters/exodus_1-4.html.)

I hold that Moses did not asked God's name in Exodus 3, but His nature relevant to 'Jethro' -- (God's) goodness, blessing, abundance, healing, salvation, etc.. Moses wanted to know, for from God's nature come all His laws. God said He is not other than us, but is the success of all these things in us by imagination. Moses was being very practical. God's answer in those three words, again, means "They (my goodness, blessings, abundance, etc.) are My imagination manifest."

The Ninevite God Ashur is key here: the God of Creation is the Ineffable's Imagination. That is the reality which faces us.

Matter is the overt experience we all have in life. Matter has mass and weight; it takes solid forms like boards, houses, and mountains. Matter is the stuff of the world. We work with it. But we are mistaken in taking matter as an a priori assumption of what the world comes from. Our experience with it begs the question, but in fact matter's building blocks are non-material!

Investigate all things before drawing conclusions. Since 1925, scientists have known that quantum "micro" physics takes a radical departure from the norm of our macro-physics life-experience. In double-slit tests photons or electrons may have mass as a particle or not have mass as a wave, DEPENDING ON WHETHER IT IS BEING OBSERVED OR NOT.  They may even be in two places at one time. "At the quantum level, matter does not follow the rules of physics. This is confusing to anyone who understands what they are looking at."

It seems pretty clear to zero-science knowing me that light -- photons -- are power being radiated as a wave from the assumption of God. This power only becomes particulate when it is believed to be so in our experience: IT THEN BECOMES WHAT IT BELIEVES ITSELF TO BE.

My point in all this is that God does not have to change matter to change a situation, he only has to change his imagination.

Relaxing the Mind

On August 23 I posted a link to Israel Regardie's chapter about Neville. Anonymous pointed out that Regardie promised to address how to mentally relax and had not. Anonymous has a hard time shutting down the flow of thoughts -- can't relax mentally. Not easily, anyway. I am sure this afflicts a large number of people who would like to meditate and/or practice Neville's technique but cannot get the mind to shut up.

I am not a yoga or meditation teacher, but let's just say I have heard some things:

I advised Anonymous to consider the Antediluvian Patriarchs, the forefathers of Noah which is the rest Anonymous is seeking. Everything in Genesis is in our minds -- it is psychological, not historical -- and these patriarchs are states of mind, attitudes which lead us to the state that is Noah. See my earlier discussion on the Patriarchs (http://imagicworldview.blogspot.com/2016/11/the-antediluvian-patriarchs-as.html).

Neville leads us to relax and enter a sleepy state of consciousness, allowing the mind and awareness of being to float up above the facts of the world that deny that we have what we desire; to forgive and forget that world and allow it to utterly die to us and we to it; and to enter a state of unconditioned awareness of being -- aware of being, but not of being anything in particular at all: "I AM," and nothing more.

That does not cut it for Anonymous. How further to relax the mind?

How about the Sabbath rest, the Shabbat? YHWH in us, "Jesus," is the Lord of the Rest. According to the Law, which is God's nature, the seventh day is when we let God do it. For on the seventh day God rested from creating, meaning all His imagining was done. It doesn't say that He ever picked creating up again, so this is still the seventh day. It is all done. What are we to worry about? There is not anything that isn't done, that isn't provided. God has provided ALL for ALL. "Jehovah Jireh" -- in the mount (imagination) YHWH provides (Genesis 22:14; according to Robert Young's Literal Translation of the Bible, the ancient Hebrew had no future tense, so stop using it).

I believe that 'YHWH' is the nature of God's action. It is not something God is or is not supposed to be called. We call upon His nature. The Hebrew letters Y-H-W-H represent a pattern. It is a cycle. I think it is from this cycle we have the Law of Reversibility: what goes on in the Source must go on in the Manifestation, and what goes on the Manifestation must go on in the Source. Says Neville:

"Whether or not man succeeds in reversing the transformation of a force, he knows, nevertheless, that all transformations of force are reversible. If heat can produce mechanical motion, so mechanical motion can produce heat. If electricity produces magnetism, magnetism too can develop electric currents. If the voice can cause undulatory currents, so can such currents reproduce the voice, and so on. Cause and effect, energy and matter, action and reaction are the same and inter-convertible.

"This law is of the highest importance, because it enables you to foresee the inverse transformation once the direct transformation is verified. If you knew how you would feel were you to realize your objective, then, inversely, you would know what state you could realize were you to awaken in yourself such feeling. The injunction to pray believing that you already possess what you pray for is based upon a knowledge of the law of inverse transformation.

"If your realized prayer produces in you a definite feeling or state of consciousness, then, inversely, that particular feeling or state of consciousness must produce your realized prayer. Because all transformations of force are reversible, you should always assume the feeling of your fulfilled wish.

"You should awaken within you the feeling that you are and have that which heretofore you desired to be and possess. This is easily done by contemplating the joy that would be yours were your objective an accomplished fact, so that you live and move and have your being in the feeling that your wish is realized" (See Neville Goddard's Prayer:the Art of Believing).

If your mind can relax your body, your body can relax your mind. "They only talk about somatic relaxation," notes Anonymous of Neville and Regardie. Well, yeah, so use your mind to relax your body muscle by muscle, joint by joint, feature by feature, and key your mind to the body -- let your mind be as relaxed as your body: "My body is this relaxed; mind, you be just as relaxed as my body is."

Otherwise, stare at a candle flame, repeat a mantra, or note only your breathing in and out. Good luck and God bless.

An Old Text by Israel Regardie about Neville Goddard

A friend notified me:

"Me again,

"Just found a book online that was written in 1942 by
Israel Regardie who was a contemporary of Neville Goddard.
He devotes a large section of the book to Neville. Thought you
might find his perspective of the man Neville interesting."

The section about Neville starts on page 91, which can be placed in the page indicator.

I notice this is Scribed, from which I might have once gotten a nasty virus. Ten years ago. But still watch what you download.

The Magic of Disappearing Matter

This post is a little out of order. I have been reading a lot of essays from David Christopher Lane and others involved in the controversy over consciousness. Is it physical or not? People who believe consciousness is within the purview of material evolution are physicalists; i.e., they believe that consciousness comes from matter.

There is a scientific basis for this belief, of course: matter is what expanded from the big bang. We only know and experience matter. It is all that we can get our hands on, and although we do not really know what matter is, consciousness must have come from it. Or so they say.

Interestingly, when science takes a look at the building blocks of matter, it disappears. In double-slit tests of photons (a quantum level of existence), the power that the photons are only becomes material when observed. You should need to go change your pants right now. The universe exists only as power until it is observed.

Here is a very interesting youtube video explaining the scientific evidence. I am not making this stuff up! https://youtube.com/watch?v=4C5pq7W5yRM

This is not to say that matter does not exist. It certainly does when we observe the power that it is. I venture to suggest (as I have for years) that the ineffable Source is intelligent, and Its intelligence is POWER to become what it believes it is. The ineffable Source imagines, and Its imagination is that intelligence/power. WE, the consciousness within these human forms, are that imagination believing what we observe. Power becomes material at our observation because
we
are
that
ineffable
Source.

Thus consciousness is not rising out of matter, but matter is rising out of consciousness . . . for us.

The Central Lie in the Law of Attraction

One of the central tenets of the Law of Attraction is magnetic attraction, that like attracts like. Wealth and pleasure and all good things have a high frequency rate, and you have to raise your vibes to attract all the good things you want. Yeah, but . . .

. . . pick up any pair of magnets and try to put like poles together. I hope you are strong, because LIKE POLES REPEL. Do not worry, because magnetic attraction has absolutely nothing to do with you attracting good things to you.

Consider for a moment the end of the magnet. All the cells, the molecules of the magnet, are joined. Bonded together. THAT is where you are. All the good things are bonded together, joined in the upper strata of the universal field of Life-intelligence (or whatever you want to call it). You are not attracting them; you and they are just on the same wavelength. What gets you to that wavelength? ASSUMPTION.

A New Appreciation for "2001: A Space Odyssey" -- The Monolith as Consciousness/the Universal Field of Life-Intelligence

I was in Navy boot camp, San Diego, when "2001: A Space Odyssey" was released. I saw it on my first liberty, and was blown away by it. I have seen it several times since and read the book, oh, forty-five years ago. Good stuff.

I recently have been exploring the implications of the potential for an electromagnetic field of life-intelligence either antecedent or subsequent to the materiality of the universe. The Great Debate is whether the field is (or is the product of) an ineffable being's imagination or is the evolutionary by-product of natural forces. It began either before or after the Big Bang. Whether you choose one or the other, the field is there; that is just a matter of fact.

All living things emit and receive these electromagnetic forces. The forces are scientifically measurable and transmit throughout the universe. Arthur C. Clark supposed that early contributors to this field left machines of consciousness -- symbolized by monolithic forms -- to generate and monitor conscious beings on the earth. I now see the monoliths as metaphor for the field of consciousness/life-intelligence itself.

From the field and because of it, their brains being annexed by it, our proto-human ancestors gained awareness of being. Spirituality. And unfortunately, voo-doo. We progress in semi-awareness until we get another spark of consciousness, metaphorically the monolith on the moon, and chase it with HAL (commercial religion? [HAL=IBM]). Ignorance and bad, even evil programming deter us -- killing the humans unless we are as determined as David to reach and enter the higher consciousness orbiting the moon of Jupiter; i.e., God's imagination, the electromagnetic field of life-intelligence/consciousness.

We -- our "spirit": consciousness, awareness of being, animating life power, and imaginations -- are this field of life-intelligence which has annexed our human brains and bodies and now are "humans." For this we meld spiritual living with this world of Caesar. We are the alien invaders. We have become humans repeatedly in an effort to move up to the top strata of the field -- space babies waiting to be born. Thanks, Arthur. And you, my friend, watch out for HAL on this trip.

Assumption: The Law of Effect and Cause

We have had cause and effect wrong all this time. With God, it is assumption of potential fulfilled--EFFECT BEFORE CAUSE: "Believe ye receive (effect), and ye shall have (cause)" (Mark 11:24, parentheses mine). As the Original Mind sees it, all things, all states ARE. Unfortunately, while all good things are, all bad things are, also. The Original Mind is STRATIFIED. Metaphorically, the good is at the top and the bad at the bottom. The bad is not very nice. The good is very nice: honest, helpful, loving, generous, polite, forgiving, etc. Forty-two years ago Jesus said to me, "Come unto me." He was saying, "Be the top, the good stuff. Dwell in the top stratum of the Original Mind--assume the EFFECT of knowing the oneness of God."

In that top stratum everything good is, so of what I want and desire, "I have it." It might not look like I have it, but I do. At least, that is my assumption. I am in and of the top stratum, so I have received what I desire. And I shall have it, the CAUSE. (Now something from Robert Young's Literal Translation of the Bible introduction: Young observed that the ancient Hebrew actually had no future tense. So the "I shall have" should be read, "I have.")

Be good. And as you are good, be grateful and confident and all the things that belong to the top stratum. Believe you have the effect, and you have the cause.

You don't want to put the cart before the horse, but you do want the carrot there! The carrot is the effect the horse believes it has, and the horse is the cause of the cart's movement you desire. And you? You're the Original Mind.

"Bah! Humbug! If you want a nail in the board, you have to hit the nail with a hammer. It is cause--hammer, then effect--nail in the board."

Hammers do not hit nails on their own. It is something we want done. We plan. We see the finished nail driven into the board before we grab hammer or nail. We are CONSCIOUSNESS, and we have effect in mind before even considering cause. Assumption is effect; cause will be taken care of by decisions from the Original Mind.

Barbie Comes Through: Her Esoteric Life

(I will be editing this slightly for readability in the future, but thought some readers would like to see it now.)

On Tuesday, June 9th, 2015, I posted "I Think Neville Goddard Mis-stated What Happens When We Come Back to Life, er, Death" (https://imagicworldview.blogspot.com/2015/06/i-think-neville-goddard-mis-stated-what.html). The post drew a number of responses, one of which was "Barbie":

Barbie said,
We continue this same life over and over experiencing death, sorrow and pain until we find ourselves. "I AM," you are, we all are one. We are ALL GOD! I've seen this. What we are doing now is life and death. We will continue to live and die on this same earth. But when you KNOW you KNOW everything, you see it, you feel it, you KNOW it! You know every word because you realize it's you, it's me, it's everyone! I don't know why I found me. I spent lots of time searching me but I never expected to know what I KNOW for absolute truth, 100% without any doubts what I KNOW NOW! My advice is to search as deep as you can for WHO YOU ARE! 3:22

It's what he's talking about. But if he See's what I see it's not just during astrol projection. We are as alive as what they are dead. This is life, this is death. Until we hear God and God bears us. ( when you experience this you will know and understand everything) and everyone will. He saw this, I've seen this. I have felt it. To feel infinity with every(thing)(one) you love. We are the creators of our entire life. Just like you and I they are as alive as we are in this same place. I cannot describe where I will go after this life but the feeling is organic times infinity! Find you! I encourage everyone to find themselves. Not who you are by name or by flesh, but dig deep and find your spirit. Imagine someone asking over and over "who are you?" Not who does so and so believe you to be,but who you truly are. Be confident in your flesh and how you believe people perceive you or disregard it altogether. Don't think about anything except for WHO YOU ARE! 3:37


French Anonymous at 11:38 asked,
How did you make for discover that? I read Neville and other metaphysical books, but for instance in my meditation I never seen that.

And again,
I talked to barbie. I was replying to her. She said she has discovered who is she, and I would like to know how she did it, how she did to live the oneness with universe, how she did to experiment that, I would like to see, too.


Dear French Anonymous,

I too am interested in how Barbie realized what she says she realized.

Barbie, if you happen to read this, could you explain further what you were doing, what you were thinking, what your frame of mind was, what your intention was, were there some background thoughts, any particular yearning in your heart, a cry or desire that was motivating you, some catalyst thought or revelation that helped you to break through to your realization and awakening?

It would help and encourage Anonymous at 11:38 and many others immensely. If you would take the time to compose it, I will post it for everyone's benefit. If you have a blog and post it, please send us a link.

Thank you,
Dan Steele


Barbie responded (yea!),
When I posted this I had been meditating for quite some time religiously. (I'm going to add that I was raised to believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior.) It had been years since I'd stepped into a church, but my belief in God and Jesus has always stayed with me. What happened to Neville just happened to me. I don't know why exactly. I was very spiritual, very in tune with others' souls, meditated daily, and prayed (in the way I thought was right). I'd never knew much about any of this type of stuff until I experienced this. Neville Goddard has been the only person I have found since that explains everything I experienced exactly as I lived it. I just all of a sudden while laying in bed watching TV with my husband started having anxiety. It was almost like I was losing consciousness. I seriously thought I was dying when I heard the words and felt the sensation (it was the feeling of being one with everything and everyone, a feeling that I can't explain) but I'd never felt anything like it. I was comforted with such loving words and told I was God, everyone was God. I was showed life & death, I was showed history. After that happened I "knew everything"; it was like everything I heard, saw or read popped out in messages. I was showed everything's energy and being told how to attract that energy. 9:30

I was told what to tell my husband to make him understand it even during him watching a TV documentary. I was shown everything they didn't understand and could even pull versus from the Bible at random that made what I was saying seem logical. After three days of seeming as if I lived in the clouds and not having no questions because anytime I had a question I'd get an answer. Be it through someone talking about something random, the radio playing, anything written around me, etc. I'd just hear what I needed to know what I needed. But the more I thought about what I was experiencing the more I started questioning "why me" and why would God only allow few people to know this information. I decided to try and read the Bible and pray for those answers (because like Neville I wanted EVERYONE to KNOW). 9:31

I felt that everyone needed to know and see what I was. And I know people's not going to want to hear what happened to me after I picked up that Bible and I don't even know if I can explain it to make people understand. (My husband knows because he lived it with me, and I thank God he loved me and knew that things like this are NOT who I am or how I act.) From day one of this I became someone else, but I was told exactly what to say go him so he'd listen without thinking I was crazy, I was even told that I'd be labeled crazy by some but to continue to try and teach others how I "found myself" so they to could be where I was. Anyways, I'm still writing things down that I've seen and things I still randomly see/hear. But after I picked that Bible up it became the worst nightmare of my life. Only certain words popped out and it was as if I was being deceived about God; it was almost like I was reading the words as different people. Something evil (only showing me words and verses that made it seem like God was evil) as myself (crying, trying to understand what I was reading and seeing, thinking about those I'd lost believing they'd gone to what I was shown as hell for believing in the Bible. It was the scariest time of my life and I could do nothing but read (only what I was shown to read) and I knew in my heart that it was wrong, so when I could find ME (myself through the voice that wasn't me telling me all these things and showing me (yes, I lived this [like I was being used as a movie character] just as much as I live now) I saw, lived and was told EVERYTHING about the past, the present and the future. But I knew in my heart that God would most definitely show ALL those he loved this kind of peaceful feeling and not just a few, so as I was saying I prayed to Jesus Christ to show me what was real because by this point I was almost completely lost within myself and I knew that if I didn't figure things out that I would be crazy. After I started praying for a week straight I did nothing but battle Revelation in my mind, screaming only certain things out loud to my husband. It was not anything I'd ever read out of the Bible because it was made into metaphors in my mind. It was so confusing because it was like a battle between good and evil. 9:31b

I'd read & LIVE parts that sounded like the Bible was trying to deceive me and then other parts making me feel I'd been deceived by the same thing Neville was deceived by. (Whatever happened to me, was telling and showing me that no one would understand Neville because his words were written only for me.) It showed me how everything in my life I'd heard, seen, felt, everything was connected to everything in MY life. If I'd met you personally on the street or maybe even on here I would have made that into something to advance me along in life. You on the other hand would not be important to me because it was like I'd lost all importance to me except trying to figure out how to get everyone I knew and met to the state I was in. Now I wouldn't wish it upon ANYONE! If I'd known what was happening from the beginning my battle might not have been so difficult, or maybe if I didn't believe as strongly as I do in God and love those around me as deeply as I do. I have kids & 3 grandsons who are my entire world. I'm their world so when I started feeling nothing but this "I'm one" and floating around like I was on my own cloud running the entire show I knew that God does not want anyone to be so self-centered and not value and love their time with family. I feel like I could have done or became ANYTHING I wanted to become, there wasn't ANYTHING I didn't know and understand all the way up until the point that in my heart I knew I wasn't something more special than anyone else to be shown, told and live these things like I was. It was the greatest feeling I'd ever felt until I started praying to God and Jesus then it was a complete nightmare because I was shown the truth and it was the scariest thing I'd ever lived in my life. I was shown (told and lived) things in the Bible I had never read or heard in my entire life and I'd research and sure enough it was there exactly as God told me and showed me but then I had this other thing trying to pull me back to where Neville Goddard was. It was a battle I didn't even know myself that I'd win. I seriously thought maybe I'd died (yes, I thought I had died and was just imagining the people around me) my husband was my rock because I couldn't sleep with the lights off, I couldn't think for myself, I would just scream out certain things to him for a week straight (I still don't know if he even understood what I would tell him but I understood exactly what I was being told and showed to tell him. Then I thought maybe I was getting ready to die, because who just randomly just one day KNOWS all this kind of stuff?! Not me! I knew it was very much real, not an illusion not my imagination, I knew that this was my new world that I was stuck in. I was living it just like I was living my life before it happened. So, I assumed I was going to die and I was being judged for everything I'd did in life because my entire life had became a movie after this happened. If my husband did not love me I have no doubt I'd been committed into a crazy house. It scared him plum to death but he would hold me and although I only heard part of the words he'd say there at the end they were the exact words I needed to hear to get me through everything. 9:35

Not once did he call me insane or even question what I was living because I think it scared him too badly to even ask. I am a very, very strong minded woman and he knows this, so I'm sure he was as scared as I was. I seriously thought if I didn't die I was going to end up completely crazy because these things were in my mind 24/7, and any time I was in the dark I could not handle the things I was hearing, seeing and living. I felt so much evil around me for a week straight I refused to turn the lights off at night and would just sit in bed living this hell. I'd hear something, research it; see something, research it; and live things as I was in a movie and research it.. I was NOT me. I do not know who was trying to take me over or what was, but I know that I pray to God that although I'm still not completely over it that I don't ever get to that point again. The only good thing that's come out of this was as an adult I now know and understand most of the Bible and I have also found things I was told after being saved from this in Scriptures and books that are not in the Bible I'd been taught by. I am 100% without a doubt a believer in God & Jesus Christ. If I ever doubted it before I most definitely don't anymore. I understand that this entire world is ran by the devil now and I have seen and felt God's (Jesus') love for us. Like a parent tho we cannot make our children do anything and he's given us all the free will to reach out to him if we wish or to follow false teachings if we wish as well. I don't know exactly why or how this happened to me. I believe my third eye has always been slightly open because I've witnessed things before as a child that others hadn't, but now that I've been able to research things more I honestly believe I opened my third eye completely somehow (maybe meditation). I don't know. But I do know that the Devil (something very evil) is very much real as well. I'll never be back to who I was before completely, but I feel myself being able to live a little more each day after going through all of that. It was very, very scary. It really makes you worry about those you love (kids, spouse, grandkids, family) because it's really confusing trying to sort through what's really the wrong way and the right way to go in life. Being wealthy, healthy and just 100% beautiful at everything sounds very appealing but knowing what's after this life is far more beautiful than any of those things is my choice for myself and my family. I saw it all. I saw that life here and then death. I saw hell, I saw just DEATH for those who are not bad but just don't believe. And I saw things that I didn't even know in life that God promised until this happened, and I was able to pull myself together and sure enough I found everything I was showed and told. I had no idea there was anything beyond just a heaven in the sky or that God made covenants with people and even their children if you found him and proved your faith and love in him. 9:35b

I knew nothing at all about "New Age religion" until this happened to me, and after I realized that's exactly where something evil was leading me to and I lived though this experience I know now that the things I was doing not realizing I was following a religion (deep & different types of meditation, Astro projection, trying to see people's souls and feel their energy better than what I could already). I didn't realize that I was doing anything except trying to help myself de-stress and unwind after a long day's work. It made my sex life extraordinary after meditation--I slept better by Astro projecting before bed at night, and I loved feeling my husband's energy and mine combined. Since this has happened I've been afraid to do any of those things. A few times I've listened to frequency music, but if it's dark I'll start seeing lights and I'll continue to hear the frequency long after it is turned off, so needless to say I haven't even done that very much. I don't even know if any of those where the cause, but still I'm afraid to go back to living that again. Well, that's my story and experience. I hope maybe it might help someone. Good luck with whatever you choose in life. 9:36

Neville Goddard's Wife "Bill" Was Told To Invest: The Investment

Investment is for the future. We do now changing the past what will pay dividend later. Later comes pretty quickly. Here is an excerpt from Neville Goddard's lecture "Sound Investments" in 1953 (http://realneville.com/txt/sound_investments.htm):


"Today's subject is 'Sound Investments.'

"I want to share with you today what I consider one of the truly great revelations of all time.

"On Sunday morning, April 12th, my wife woke from what was really a deep, profound sleep. And as she was waking a voice distinctly spoke to her; and the voice spoke to her; and the voice spoke with great authority, and it said to her: 'You must stop spending your thoughts, your time, and your money. Everything in life must be an investment.' So she quickly wrote it down and went straight to the dictionary to look up the two important words in the sentence, 'spending' and 'investing'. The dictionary defines 'spending' as 'to waste, to squander, to layout without return." To 'invest' is to 'layout for a purpose, for which a profit is expected.'

"Then I began to analyze the sentence - 'You must stop spending your thoughts, your time, and your money, for everything in life must be an investment.' As I dwelt upon it, I saw where everything is NOW; that through the portals of the present all time must pass, and this psychological NOW, the state in which I find myself now, does not recede into the past. It advances into my future."


Neville goes on about imagining, about the Science of Mind and spiritual living. But the Voice said "everything." I remembered this while listening to Jim Rohn's personal development seminar on youtube.com (https://youtube.com/watch?v=_Ti3S_iR3wk), "Create Your Best Life Ever." This is about all the other stuff to invest. I do not think it gets mentioned enough that in repentance, the taking on of an entirely new way of thinking (one inclined to the fulfillment of scripture), there is the presumption of also taking on character, morality, nobility, benevolence, dignity, sophistication, purpose, focus, concern for others, self-control, discipline--all actions toward self improvement.

"Everything must be an investment." In this world of Caesar we start with a debit: the past. The biggest debt we have is that Jesus Christ--God--died to save us from our sins in becoming us at the beginning of time. Neville's discussion deals with that. Our other debts we still have to deal with. Interestingly, when we deal with the big dept, the lessor debts just seem to clear up. Law of Attraction advocates insist that this is because we have increased our vibrational rate, but I think rather the Consciousness we call God we have enjoined in repentance is compelling decisions on all hands favorable to the life we have chosen. He has a vested interest in this, you know.

Anyway, learning to invest the lessor things, I think, is what Jim Rohn teaches. Each and every moment is good to start fresh with God, the Consciousness which has become us. Repent and with him we are clear-o slate-o, as good as gold; but the lessor things still have to be dealt with, invested as a matter of course in this life, instead of spent.

Which Came First, Consciousness or Physicality, Matter?

Providence has had me reading modern philosophy based on Darwinian evolution. It is interesting, for it requires that consciousness came after and from matter. First materiality, then life--consciousness. Life evolved from matter, and consciousness makes us think there is a God. Like when I told the rocks in my garden about flat earth believers, they felt quite proud to be part of such a grand scheme. They just sat there resolutely as if to say, "We are part of this flat earth, and you just stand on the earth; just don't stand on us. Oh, damn you!"

I wrote a little about the plausibility of consciousness rising out of evolving matter in my last few posts. Consciousness emitted by living beings would form a field of life-intelligence influential to the universe, and the contributions of billions, even trillions of planetary civilizations over thirteen plus billions of years might form an "omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, apocalyptic God-Person." A "God" to other newbie civilizations.

I do not actually have enough faith to believe that. I see something else: miracles. Like it or lump it, I watched intently my left arm lengthen to match my right arm. Watched it. I SAW it. Before this I heard--audibly in my brain--the Voice (seeing Jesus crucified in a vision, he turned his face to me and said, "Come unto Me"). Each time was a deliberate, discriminate action by a consciousness invoked by the name Jesus. I have no illusion about my being in fantasy mode at the time; I was in both cases, but I did not speak to my mind, nor did I lengthen my arm. Being called Jesus was cool with the acting power or consciousness.

It gets down to something of a footrace as to which came first: consciousness or physicality? Is there a rock-based evolving omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, apocalyptic God-Person who acts as Jesus (or whomever); or a pre-physicality Consciousness who assumed the universe and is still dreaming it? And here is the rub: if consciousness is physical, what of altered states the are just as physical as this one? Do they have a different consciousness? I don't think so.

When his nephew was dying in Barbados, Neville Goddard in the United States imagined being in his nephew's bed. Neville's sister came into the room in Barbados and saw Neville. She walked up and looked at him, and he at her. She walked out a bit shaken and perplexed. When she returned, she could see her son on the bed again. Neville's nephew eventually died, but Neville had demonstrated to his sister that matter comes from consciousness, and not the other way around.

So what of it? There is the physical, and there is consciousness. The physical responds to consciousness, so we can use consciousness. Use it. Experiment with it. Assume in our drowsy state before sleeping that we are what and who we want to be. Believe the desire is already fulfilled, and we ARE what we want to be. Were it so, what would we do, what would we say, what would we feel, who would we be with, what would they say, how would we feel? Take a part of that scene, something that implies that it is so, and live it in mental experience. As it is REAL to us. And do it over and over until the dream is the real part of our life . . . and fall asleep in that state.

Is God a consequence of matter, or the cause of matter? I don't know; I wasn't there. But I do know that there is a Consciousness I can use. Let's use what God we can.

On Why Assumption Would Be The Nature Of God

Being God's nature is what makes assumption a law. So what in God's nature is assumption? It must be natural, and I stress natural, for potential to exist before substance. That statement is less mundane than it appears; it appears obvious, but it is not. One expects, really, that substance exists with potential in it. For how can potential exist in nothing, in a vacuum? We presuppose existence when we think of potential.

Maybe we have that backwards. I am suggesting that before substance exists, there is potential in the vacuum. Well, how would that work? Proto-gravity? Electromagnetism? Spirit? I gave to admit, I do not know. I am suggesting, though, that the force that emanates from every living thing preexisted form and substance. And even if not, it preexisted any living form of substance. That may be all the further we have to go back--potential before any living forms; but I believe that potential predates substance. And in the milieu of substanceless potential, of formless spirit, substance came. Potential became, that is. 'Without' transitioned into 'with'. On a grand scale, at that. And that would be assumption as causation.

Now, this was either Consciousness creating the universe ex nihilo, or nature just doing what it does; i.e., evolution. In either case, it is what is: the natural order of things. And that natural order was and is a law: assumption presages manifestation.

I am speculating on data that indicates measurable electromagnetic force broadcasting from and influential to human beings as a medium of intelligence. This is just scientific, empirical fact. We know that with the right attitudes and frame of mind this force can be directed and/or read. What is speculatively interesting is the fact that this force is common to the universe. All fourteen or so BILLION years of it. There are countless trillions of planets with civilizations much more mature and advanced than ours contributing their intelligence into the common pool of this force. This natural, evolutionary force.

"Ah, but Dan, God foretells the future." This force ASSUMES the future that becomes. "Ah, but Dan, Christ died for our sins, died at the beginning of time to become us." Moses, the germ of the Gospel within us, dies in our realizing and entering the Promised Land of the Gospel. Potential dies in fruition. Assumption dies in becoming. "Ah, but Dan, uh, uh, uh. Dang, I can't think of anything else."

"Uh, Dan: if highly advanced civilizations are contributing their intelligence and assuming the best for us in and through the common field of intelligence, why don't we all just have luxurious lives of ease?" Because that wouldn't be the best for us. No advancement on our part. As consciousness, what matters to us is character, intelligence, compassion. They, the countless advanced civilizations, are doing that in their contribution to this naturally evolved field, and assuming that the potential of lesser civilizations (us) will follow suit, we have to develop our character, intelligence, and compassion. That takes a little kick in the butt, like futility and afflictions to make us look with desire for something better. Jethro (Jethro is the good, the plus stuff--the abundance of this God we are speaking of). Desire is a plan, a plan for something better in the future that is in potential. The trick, apparently, is to assume that what is desired is received and to go on in the dream state from there. Assume the potential is manifest, and it will be.
