Q & A

  • What is the main argument presented in the script about the role of reasoning?

    -The script argues that reasoning often stems from fear and limitation, and it can put individuals in a state of bondage. It suggests that reasoning may hinder the ability to fully immerse in imagination and believe in one's desires.

  • Why does the script suggest that we should abandon reasoning when imagining?

    -The script suggests abandoning reasoning when imagining because reason can create doubts and fears that prevent us from fully embracing and believing in our imagined desires. Imagination operates in the present, where desires are already realized, without the constraints of 'how' or 'when'.

  • What is the significance of the phrase 'I am' in the context of this script?

    -The phrase 'I am' signifies the present state of being, which the script emphasizes as the key to shaping one's reality. It suggests that by assuming 'I am' in the context of our desires, we can change our internal state and subsequently influence our external reality.

  • How does the script relate the concept of 'going mad' to the process of imagining?

    -In the script, 'going mad' refers to the act of fully surrendering to the imagined reality, disregarding the logical voice of reason. It implies a deep immersion in the imagined scenario as if it were real, which can lead to its manifestation in one's life.

  • What is the role of belief in the script's perspective on achieving desires?

    -Belief is central to achieving desires according to the script. It posits that truly believing in the imagined reality and the 'I am' state is what allows desires to manifest. Doubts and fears, often products of reasoning, can hinder this process.

  • How does the script differentiate between the internal and external man?

    -The script differentiates the internal man as the part of us that exists in imagination, free from limitations, and the external man as the part that is bound by reasoning and societal constraints. The internal man is where desires are already realized, while the external man often questions and doubts.

  • What does the script mean by 'the same voice that frees you is the same that binds you'?

    -The script suggests that our internal dialogue, or 'voice,' has the power to both limit us through reasoning and fear, and to liberate us through imagination and belief. The power lies in how we choose to use this internal voice.

  • Why does the script emphasize not focusing on the 'means' but on the 'being'?

    -The script emphasizes focusing on 'being' because it aligns with the state of already having achieved the desire. Focusing on the 'means' implies a lack and a journey to achieve, whereas 'being' signifies that the desire is already a reality in one's imagination.

  • What is the importance of feeling the end result while imagining, as mentioned in the script?

    -Feeling the end result while imagining is important because it aligns with the present reality of the desire in the mind. It helps to solidify the belief in the imagined scenario, making it more potent and likely to manifest in the external world.

  • How does the script view the role of fear in the manifestation process?

    -The script views fear as a product of reasoning that can hinder the manifestation process. Fear creates doubts and barriers that prevent full immersion in the imagined reality. By abandoning reason and embracing the 'I am' state, fear can be overcome.

  • What practice does the script recommend to help embody the 'I am' state?

    -The script recommends the practice of immersing oneself in the imagined reality as if it is the only reality, without the interference of reasoning. This involves assuming the 'I am' state and feeling it as a present fact, which can lead to a reshuffling of one's external world to reflect this internal state.

๐Ÿ”ฎ The Power of Imagination Over Reasoning

The speaker emphasizes the importance of imagination over reasoning, suggesting that reason often stems from fear and limitation. They argue that in the realm of imagination, possibilities are boundless, and one's desires can already be perceived as reality. The speaker challenges the listener to believe in their imagined reality, proposing that the true question is whether one can trust and commit to their own imagined experiences. They reference Neville Goddard's idea of 'going mad' as a way to abandon reason and fully immerse oneself in the imagined reality, which is seen as a precursor to manifesting desires.

๐Ÿ’ก The Conflict Between Reason and Imagination

This paragraph delves into the internal struggle between reason and imagination, highlighting how reason can impose limitations and fears that conflict with the boundless potential of imagination. The speaker discusses the concept of 'I am' as a powerful tool for shaping one's reality, suggesting that by truly embracing this in imagination, one can overcome external limitations. They stress the importance of aligning one's internal dialogue with their desires, rather than letting reason dictate what is possible or acceptable.

10:03

๐ŸŒŸ Embracing the 'I Am' Philosophy for Desire Fulfillment

The speaker introduces the philosophy of 'I am' as a method to actualize one's desires. They discuss the importance of accepting the invisible state of desires as reality within the imagination, and the subsequent impact this can have on manifesting these desires in the physical world. The speaker encourages the listener to immerse themselves in the feeling of already possessing their desires, thereby eliminating fear and doubt. They also touch upon the idea that one's internal state, or 'I am', is the true determinant of their external circumstances.

15:03

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ The Illusion of Separation and the Internal Man

In this paragraph, the speaker explores the concept of the illusion of separation, suggesting that the external man, driven by reason, must 'die away' to reveal the true, internal man who exists in imagination. They discuss the process of shifting one's identity from the limited external self to the expansive internal self, which is free from the constraints of reason. The speaker encourages the listener to trust in their own power to shape reality through their 'I am' statements, independent of external validation or circumstances.

20:05

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Overcoming Fear and Embracing the Dreamer Within

The speaker discusses the role of fear and the need to overcome it by accepting oneself as the creator of both nightmares and dreams. They emphasize the importance of assuming the 'I am' state without the interference of reason, which can introduce doubt and hinder the manifestation process. The speaker encourages the listener to practice this state of being, to feel the euphoria and freedom it brings, and to observe the natural reshuffling of one's external world as a reflection of the internal shift.

๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ The Meditation on 'I Am' and the Path to Freedom

In the final paragraph, the speaker shares their personal meditation practice, which involves assuming the 'I am' state and feeling it as a present reality, devoid of reason's limitations. They discuss the transformative power of this practice, leading to a sense of relief and the dissolution of barriers within the mind. The speaker concludes by reinforcing the idea that one must embrace the 'I am' to experience true freedom and to manifest their desires without fear or doubt.

Keywords

๐Ÿ’กReasoning

Reasoning is the cognitive process of forming conclusions, judgments, or inferences from known information or premises. In the context of the video, reasoning is portrayed as a double-edged sword that can both limit and liberate. The speaker suggests that while reason is necessary for logical thinking, it can also create fear and limitations, preventing individuals from fully embracing their imagination and potential. For example, the script mentions that 'reason itself comes from fear,' and it can 'put us in bondage.'

๐Ÿ’กImagination

Imagination refers to the faculty or action of forming new ideas, images, or concepts not present to the senses. The video emphasizes the power of imagination as a tool for creating one's reality, where 'things already are' and 'they are already happening.' It is contrasted with reasoning, suggesting that true freedom and creativity come from abandoning reason and fully immersing oneself in the imagined state. The script illustrates this by stating that 'in imagination, things already are,' highlighting the importance of believing in one's imagined reality.

๐Ÿ’กBelief

Belief is the acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof. The video discusses the significance of belief in shaping one's reality through imagination. It is the internal conviction that what one imagines is real, which is crucial for the manifestation of desires. The speaker asks, 'do you believe in what you're imagining,' emphasizing that belief is the key to transcending the limitations imposed by reason and external reality.

๐Ÿ’กFear

Fear is an emotional response to perceived or imagined threats, characterized by feelings of anxiety and unease. In the video, fear is presented as a product of reasoning, which can hinder one's ability to fully engage with their imagination. The script mentions that 'reason comes from fear,' suggesting that fear can create barriers to realizing one's desires and potential.

๐Ÿ’กLimitation

Limitation refers to the state or quality of being restricted to a particular confine or extent. The video script discusses how reasoning can impose limitations on individuals, preventing them from achieving their full potential. It is implied that by abandoning reason, one can transcend these limitations and experience freedom in their imagination.

๐Ÿ’กAssumption

Assumption is the act of taking something for granted or accepting something as true without proof. In the context of the video, assumption is the act of embracing one's imagined reality as if it were already true. The speaker encourages the audience to 'dare to assume' and to live as if their desires are already a reality, which is a key step in manifesting them into existence.

๐Ÿ’กExternal Reality

External reality refers to the objective world outside of one's mind, independent of personal thoughts or feelings. The video contrasts external reality with the internal world of imagination, suggesting that by letting go of the constraints of external reality, one can more fully engage with their imagination. The script talks about 'abandoning your reasoning and a yield and surrender into it,' indicating the need to release the hold of external reality to embrace the imagined state.

๐Ÿ’กInternal Man

Internal man, as used in the video, represents the inner self or the subconscious mind where desires and beliefs reside. The speaker suggests that the internal man is the true source of one's reality and that by focusing on this inner state, one can shape their external circumstances. The script mentions that 'the external man has to die,' implying the need to transcend the limitations of the external self to access the power of the internal man.

๐Ÿ’กDesire

Desire refers to a strong feeling of wanting to achieve something. In the video, desires are portrayed as originating from the imagination and having the potential to manifest in reality. The speaker discusses the importance of assuming and believing in one's desires to bring them into existence, emphasizing that 'life's responding to I am,' where 'I am' represents the state of being that one assumes.

๐Ÿ’กFreedom

Freedom, in the context of the video, is the state of being unrestricted and able to act or think according to one's desires. The speaker argues that true freedom comes from abandoning reason and embracing the imagined reality. The script describes the experience of 'going mad and yield,' which symbolizes the act of letting go of rational constraints to fully experience the imagined state of being.

play00:03

so i want to speak more about reasoning

play00:06

and why i think

play00:08

you should abandon reasoning while

play00:10

you

play00:11

imagine

play00:13

because

play00:14

it is my opinion that reason is coming

play00:17

from the sense man

play00:19

it's really your own voice

play00:22

you know the voice that puts you in

play00:23

bondage

play00:24

is the same voice that frees you

play00:28

but at times we listen to the voice of

play00:31

reason which puts us in bondage

play00:35

but

play00:38

reason itself

play00:42

comes from fear

play00:43

it comes from limitation

play00:46

it's it's not necessarily

play00:49

it's a construct that was created by

play00:53

yourself

play00:54

from the external

play00:56

because

play00:57

reason will ask you well when will this

play00:59

happen how will it happen

play01:02

but these questions don't exist in

play01:03

imagination

play01:06

in imagination things already are

play01:09

they are already happening

play01:11

it already is so

play01:15

and

play01:17

i know you're capable of imagining what

play01:19

you want

play01:20

i know you're capable of seeing what you

play01:22

want

play01:24

i know you're capable of hearing what

play01:25

you want

play01:27

you can imagine anything you like

play01:29

but that's not the problem

play01:32

the question is do you believe in it

play01:35

do you believe in what you're hearing

play01:36

and what you're seeing

play01:39

do you believe in what you're imagining

play01:42

that's the question

play01:45

in order to yield or to surrender into a

play01:48

dream

play01:50

one must abandon reasoning you know

play01:52

neville would say this that

play01:54

when he would feel restrictions and

play01:57

pressures within himself

play01:59

he found that was the best time

play02:01

to

play02:04

assume that he is who he wants to be

play02:06

it's his best time to imagine himself

play02:08

being what he wants to be

play02:11

and he said he would die to himself

play02:13

and then

play02:14

yield into what is only a dream he would

play02:17

go mad and yield

play02:20

now the going mad part is removing

play02:23

reason

play02:24

because reason will tell me

play02:26

this is just a dream

play02:28

it's your senses don't show you this

play02:30

this is just all in imagination it's

play02:32

just fake it's fiction

play02:34

and when nibble's trying to tell us is

play02:35

that it's the reverse

play02:37

that things come from imagination here

play02:40

the things you're seeing came from

play02:41

imagination as well

play02:44

and um

play02:46

if you can

play02:47

the way the practice abandoning your

play02:49

reasoning is to bring things to the

play02:51

present moment

play02:53

you know he says to

play02:54

immerse yourself in the wish fulfilled

play02:56

but

play02:57

in order to truly immerse yourself you

play02:58

must abandon

play03:01

the i can explain i guess let me explain

play03:03

an example

play03:05

suppose you wanted to assume that you're

play03:07

let's just say it doesn't matter let's

play03:08

just say brilliant you want to assume

play03:10

that you're brilliant

play03:12

and then you go to assume this

play03:14

and a few things happen either

play03:16

your past is brought up showing you how

play03:18

you're not brilliant or your fears of

play03:20

the future start coming up that what if

play03:22

you were brilliant and things went wrong

play03:24

or

play03:25

um

play03:27

what if you actually won't become it or

play03:29

anything any question that comes in the

play03:31

way like how would you even become

play03:32

brilliant when would you become

play03:34

brilliant

play03:34

all of these questions are stemming from

play03:37

fear they're from reason

play03:40

and

play03:40

you can't bring those into the present

play03:42

moment you can't you can't successfully

play03:46

enter into imagination

play03:48

by holding on to your external reality

play03:51

you must let go of the external reality

play03:54

because

play03:55

imagination everything's happening in

play03:57

the present moment everything already is

play03:59

happening you already are it in the mind

play04:02

the question is are you going to allow

play04:03

yourself to believe in that

play04:06

it's not a matter of how you're going to

play04:07

get that you you are already there in

play04:09

imagination

play04:11

can you go mad and abandon your

play04:12

reasoning and a yield and surrender into

play04:15

it even though it's just a dream

play04:18

because

play04:19

in reality you actually already

play04:22

grant reality to

play04:24

imaginable acts all the time you credit

play04:26

them reality you're the creditor of

play04:28

reality

play04:30

you can take a fearful thought

play04:31

and you can credit a reality and the

play04:33

next thing you know you start feeling

play04:34

fear from it

play04:36

because you're dreaming up a nightmare

play04:37

and you're believing in that nightmare

play04:38

as if it's the only reality and it

play04:40

scares you

play04:42

and then either you fight you try to

play04:43

fight your way out of it not realizing

play04:45

the same

play04:46

voice

play04:47

that puts you into that nightmare is the

play04:48

same voice that frees you

play04:50

there's not another savior

play04:52

the savior's within

play04:54

you know um i think a common experience

play04:57

with this is that you know from my

play05:00

experience that i would think the

play05:01

thoughts i do not want and then i would

play05:03

abandon my reasoning and let those

play05:05

thoughts make me afraid

play05:07

then i would think about thoughts i do

play05:09

want and that would let my reasoning

play05:10

stop me and this was the war that was

play05:12

within that's really within a lot of us

play05:16

is the war of reason

play05:17

is that we allow the limitations

play05:21

in the mind to convince us that we're

play05:23

limited in imagination when that doesn't

play05:25

make sense because

play05:27

you can conjure up anything in

play05:28

imagination

play05:29

and

play05:31

the voice that is keeping you in bondage

play05:32

in imagination the same one that can

play05:34

free you in imagination

play05:35

because the question is this i know you

play05:37

can sit there and say

play05:39

i am free from this problem in my life

play05:44

are you going to believe that

play05:46

you know it doesn't really matter if you

play05:47

repeat it with your outer lips as

play05:49

neville would say

play05:50

many people would imagine i'm rich i am

play05:53

rich i am rich they would say this over

play05:54

and over again but in the depths of

play05:56

their being they would feel

play05:58

when's the next dollar when is the next

play06:00

dollar going to come

play06:02

so they would worry about money even

play06:03

though they're speaking with their lips

play06:05

that they're rich

play06:07

it's

play06:08

not about what you say with your outer

play06:10

lips it's but the ones you say within

play06:13

it's the words which lips are you going

play06:15

to um

play06:17

allow dictate your life the ones on the

play06:18

external the ones internal the ones that

play06:20

and the ones internal those lips can say

play06:22

anything

play06:24

you can those ears can hear anything

play06:25

those eyes can see anything

play06:27

and

play06:28

if you hold on to your reasoning

play06:30

um

play06:32

you will find yourself becoming

play06:34

frustrated because on the one level you

play06:36

want to uh grant yourself this desire

play06:39

but on another level you feel that you

play06:41

must obey reason

play06:43

and these two can't go together

play06:46

because reasoning tells you you're not

play06:47

that

play06:48

while imagination tells you you are that

play06:51

who are you going to believe

play06:52

it's just yourself in the end but you

play06:54

know you in some sense you kind of

play06:56

believed in an illusion of separation so

play06:58

you feel like you have the separation

play06:59

within you

play07:00

and what eventually has to happen is

play07:02

that the

play07:03

external man has to

play07:05

die

play07:06

he has to wither away

play07:08

and all that's left is the internal man

play07:10

who lives in imagination

play07:13

but

play07:14

reason reason is something that makes

play07:16

you

play07:18

wonder it's like a wondering type of

play07:21

thinking it's um maybe you assume that

play07:24

you are something but then you start

play07:25

worrying what actions are you going to

play07:26

take after you imagine all of these

play07:28

things that pertain to the external

play07:30

comes from this reasoning

play07:32

and it's not allowing you to actually

play07:33

experience in imagination

play07:36

your desire

play07:38

it's really not it's not allowing you're

play07:39

really not allowing yourself to just be

play07:41

in imagination because remember things

play07:43

are already are you don't necessarily

play07:44

have to create anything in imagination

play07:47

it already is

play07:49

so to

play07:50

what you need to learn to do is to

play07:51

immerse yourself in imagination as if

play07:53

it's the only reality

play07:55

no matter what it is because

play07:58

that's the only thing stopping you from

play08:00

from actually changing your i am

play08:03

because

play08:05

to assume in the feeling of i hope i

play08:07

will be like you're saying i am

play08:09

brilliant but deep down you're feeling i

play08:11

hope i'm brilliant i hope i can be to

play08:12

assume in the feeling of i will

play08:14

is to give birth to fears

play08:16

and this is not even natural it doesn't

play08:18

feel natural to assume in the i will be

play08:21

it is only natural to assume in the i am

play08:24

for there is nothing being expressed but

play08:26

i am

play08:28

now

play08:30

as i said before from us life comes

play08:33

so from the i am from what i am

play08:36

life is formed so all i must do is

play08:38

change my i am what is my i am

play08:41

what am i aware aware of being currently

play08:46

that's my i am now you might you might

play08:50

want to assume that

play08:53

you're an author

play08:55

but you feel like you haven't written a

play08:56

book yet so how can i assume this well

play08:59

abandon your reasoning that you haven't

play09:00

written a book

play09:02

abandon

play09:03

um no you can just apply this to

play09:04

anything i'm just using author because

play09:05

it comes to my mind but

play09:07

you abandon

play09:09

the idea that you're not an author that

play09:12

you haven't written a book all of that

play09:14

reason he needs to go

play09:15

and what you do

play09:17

is you assume that i am an author and

play09:19

you feel that you are that now

play09:22

because you already are in imagination

play09:26

and then this is what shapes your i am

play09:29

and from this the world starts to

play09:31

reshuffle because it's coming you know

play09:33

the world's reflecting i am it's

play09:34

responding to i am

play09:36

so

play09:37

if you don't have to be afraid to assume

play09:40

you are something it doesn't really

play09:41

matter what it is

play09:42

all that matters is are you going to

play09:44

allow your reasoning to dictate

play09:46

your limitation or allow it to

play09:48

restrict you from expanding

play09:50

that's the question

play09:52

and

play09:54

you know this idea that i don't think it

play09:56

sounds as bad as

play09:58

said that he goes mad and you know he

play10:00

surrenders into what is only a dream

play10:02

he

play10:03

sparks reality into it

play10:05

he um

play10:06

[Music]

play10:07

believes in the reality of what he's

play10:10

looking at he i say he believes reality

play10:12

into it

play10:14

and um you know he said something really

play10:16

important this in the

play10:17

lecture

play10:19

there is no fiction

play10:21

and he says this

play10:22

point yourself towards the wish

play10:23

fulfilled and accept that invisible

play10:26

state as reality

play10:27

then go your way knowing

play10:29

the desire is yours now you did it and

play10:33

you will not be surprised when it comes

play10:34

to pass

play10:36

so he says to

play10:39

accept the invisible state as reality

play10:42

now

play10:43

you can use state but i can also accept

play10:45

the invisible ears on what they're

play10:46

hearing accept the invisible eyes and

play10:48

what they're seeing

play10:50

accept this invisible dream as reality

play10:55

and bring it to the present moment

play10:57

and you don't need to be afraid actually

play10:59

all your fears will melt because there

play11:01

is no fear in the present of being it

play11:04

there can't be a fear

play11:06

how could there be any for you in order

play11:08

for that to be fair you'd have to

play11:09

conjure it up and

play11:10

if and fear comes from reason so

play11:14

you if you abandon your reason you won't

play11:16

be afraid to be in it

play11:18

a common experience i had was

play11:20

i would imagine myself to be something

play11:22

and then i would become afraid

play11:24

as to what actions i should take

play11:26

because i didn't trust myself and the

play11:28

actions that i could take

play11:30

i wondered if i was smart enough or if i

play11:32

was this enough for that enough

play11:34

but that's not as neville says that's

play11:35

not the righteousness by which you die

play11:36

to your sins i was still living in sin

play11:39

i would assume that i am something but

play11:41

then five minutes later i would

play11:43

reject it in some sense

play11:46

i wouldn't

play11:47

actually believe in the words i'm saying

play11:49

within myself

play11:51

and then

play11:53

it wasn't until i saw that those words

play11:54

are the same the same ones that i

play11:56

believe in to condemn me is the same

play11:58

voice that i could i could believe in to

play12:01

accept my desires to free me

play12:04

but

play12:04

i only use this i misused this power i

play12:07

only use it in one way which is to

play12:08

contract fears

play12:10

and

play12:11

if you know that you are if you are

play12:13

conjuring up fears

play12:15

you must see that you know you don't be

play12:17

ashamed of what you created

play12:19

you may have created like a nightmare

play12:21

but what you need to do is wake up

play12:23

and see who the dreamer is

play12:25

i mentioned before that i hadn't i had a

play12:27

nightmare the other day and

play12:29

i woke up and found out that that

play12:31

nightmare was happening within me i was

play12:33

the dreamer all along

play12:34

it felt real but

play12:36

once i saw that it was me who was doing

play12:38

it

play12:40

me the dreamer no matter what i've

play12:41

created i can change it it's always my

play12:43

dream

play12:44

so and i want to stress this point is

play12:47

you need to assume

play12:49

you won't you will not be committed to

play12:52

assuming you are something

play12:53

if you don't love it and you only love

play12:56

it if it's really your own desire

play12:58

if you start to uh imagine for other

play13:01

people in the sense that like

play13:03

you're saying well i want to be

play13:05

brilliant so that i can finally feel

play13:07

accepted by people

play13:09

if you're imagining four others in that

play13:11

sense

play13:12

you're still not getting it you won't be

play13:14

committed to that because

play13:16

that's not the end never says to go to

play13:18

the end the end is not to imagine having

play13:20

money so you can be respected

play13:23

no it's you feel res if that's the goal

play13:25

then feel respected

play13:27

go to the end always go to the end

play13:31

common one is people wanting to go to

play13:32

the lottery to get wealthy

play13:34

that's they're still working on the

play13:35

means i'm not saying it's impossible

play13:37

it's just better to go to the end which

play13:38

is

play13:39

feeling after wealth that yourself to be

play13:42

that

play13:43

now

play13:45

you don't

play13:46

think about the lottery and try to you

play13:48

know work your way around it

play13:50

it's very common

play13:51

mistake that's why neville says don't

play13:53

focus on things focus on being the one

play13:56

who is

play13:58

you don't focus on what you need to do

play14:00

to become brilliant you assume you are

play14:02

it now

play14:04

and then that will express naturally

play14:05

into your world

play14:07

because the world's reflecting or

play14:09

responding to i am

play14:11

but if it's if you're not assuming in

play14:12

the i am

play14:13

you will never express it because you're

play14:16

not believing in it as a present fact

play14:18

now you are reasoning your way out of it

play14:22

you are using reason to create the

play14:24

feeling of i hope i can be this one day

play14:27

it doesn't matter what the world's

play14:28

showing you

play14:29

i don't care if someone told you

play14:31

yesterday that you could never do what

play14:32

you

play14:33

um

play14:34

think you could do

play14:36

just ignore them it's yourself anyways

play14:39

it's just expressing your own doubt

play14:42

and if you believed in yourself guess

play14:43

what they would

play14:45

if you believed in it you would express

play14:46

it and then they would have to conform

play14:48

to seeing you that way

play14:50

so

play14:51

don't be concerned with what people are

play14:52

saying in the world or where you're

play14:54

physically at these aren't the problems

play14:56

remember what neville said that it was

play14:58

when he became aware of his restrictions

play15:00

and pressures he would die and yield to

play15:03

what is only a dream he would go mad and

play15:05

surrender to what is only a dream and he

play15:07

would believe in that to be the reality

play15:11

it's he realized that desires

play15:14

which are restrictions and limitations

play15:16

are

play15:17

within him

play15:18

they're not external they're not outside

play15:20

of him

play15:23

and when he was able to see that

play15:26

he was able to start freeing himself the

play15:27

way he wanted to be freed for himself

play15:31

so i don't wonder if like

play15:34

is it selfish for me to assume that i am

play15:35

this or is it wrong or is it

play15:38

will that will i be accepted or all

play15:40

these this is all reasoning i just

play15:41

remove all of that

play15:44

i simply just as noble says dare to

play15:46

assume

play15:47

that an assumption is what i am now not

play15:50

something i'm going to be

play15:52

but you can't get there with reasoning

play15:54

because reasoning tells you you're not

play15:55

that reasoning tells you

play15:57

um

play15:59

puts doubt into you that you could ever

play16:00

become it

play16:03

but life's responding to i am

play16:06

and if i know that's the cause

play16:10

then i know what to change

play16:13

well what is i am well like i said it's

play16:15

what i'm aware of being in the present

play16:17

moment

play16:20

so

play16:21

i speak about this because i find that

play16:23

reasoning

play16:25

is

play16:26

what reasoning does is it creates

play16:28

um it really conditions your desires

play16:31

there's it's places all these conditions

play16:33

upon it that

play16:34

well you have to have this first or that

play16:36

qualification to assume this to assume

play16:38

that

play16:40

uh but in imagination you don't even

play16:41

need money you don't need qualifications

play16:44

you don't

play16:45

need anything

play16:47

your needs are all you can walk around

play16:49

in your imagination just as though all

play16:50

your needs are met

play16:54

you're allowed to do that

play16:57

and the question you must ask yourself

play16:58

is when you enter an imagination who am

play17:00

i in here

play17:02

am i simply uh a little being who's

play17:04

desiring everything

play17:06

begging for other people not to hurt me

play17:08

or

play17:10

am i

play17:11

assuming that i am what i want to be am

play17:13

i acting like a god in here am i acting

play17:15

like all my needs are met

play17:18

you know who am i really

play17:20

in this world

play17:22

is are things really responding to me

play17:25

and you'll see that the moment you

play17:26

assume in the i am

play17:28

um your imagination starts to shift you

play17:30

know reshuffle itself and that is the

play17:32

reshuffling that will happen in your

play17:34

external world

play17:36

um and i don't mean magic

play17:39

i don't mean that you're going to open

play17:40

your eyes and i'm not saying it's

play17:42

impossible but

play17:43

um

play17:44

i haven't had that experience my

play17:46

experience has been very much where i

play17:47

assume that i am it

play17:49

it completely removes all barriers in my

play17:52

mind i feel

play17:53

euphoria i feel free

play17:55

and then

play17:57

i find naturally my world starts to

play18:00

conversations with people change in the

play18:02

nature of what i've shifted to people

play18:04

enter my life who weren't there before

play18:06

to aid me on the

play18:09

um or not just aid me really just to

play18:11

keep reflecting what i am

play18:13

and i've noticed also noticed that if i

play18:15

go back to old states people from the

play18:17

past

play18:18

and those old states will come into my

play18:19

life again

play18:20

and i'll bump into them at places

play18:23

and um

play18:25

so it really is all you

play18:28

and you should have a lot of um

play18:31

safety in that

play18:33

because there's no one else there's no

play18:34

one you're doubting about yourself and

play18:35

there's no one else you're gonna trust

play18:36

but yourself

play18:38

so

play18:40

and when you realize that like there's

play18:42

nothing to do other than to assume in

play18:44

the i am because that's all that's

play18:45

expressing

play18:47

um

play18:48

i think you'll feel it

play18:50

a large amount of relief because a

play18:52

common problem

play18:53

is like what do i do after novel says do

play18:56

nothing

play18:57

the whole point is to admit you can't do

play18:59

anything the outer man can't do it

play19:00

that's why we're imagining

play19:02

we allow the outer man to just

play19:06

i guess be

play19:07

limited

play19:09

the outer man wants to expand himself

play19:10

really it's the inner you that wants to

play19:12

expand themselves in imagination

play19:15

but you can't bring your reasoning with

play19:17

you

play19:18

because it just creates walls and

play19:19

barriers

play19:21

and

play19:23

i think that it's important to if you

play19:25

have a problem with

play19:27

assuming in the i am because you're

play19:28

worried about what others will think of

play19:29

you

play19:30

or

play19:31

what will happen next or what you're

play19:33

going to do next or if you're really

play19:34

allowed to do it or any of those things

play19:37

you have to start living in imagination

play19:39

because

play19:40

that's where you're safe in imagination

play19:43

nobody it doesn't matter what anyone

play19:45

thinks in imagination or what they say

play19:47

because they're just responding to you

play19:49

you don't have to fear anyone

play19:51

it doesn't matter what

play19:53

anyone's going to do because

play19:55

they can't do anything without your

play19:57

permission

play20:00

and don't you don't assume you are

play20:01

something

play20:02

so that hopefully somebody can reflect

play20:05

that no you you assume you are and you

play20:07

make them see you that way you make

play20:09

everyone your mind see you the way you

play20:10

want to be seen

play20:12

it doesn't matter who they are

play20:13

they must conform to your orders

play20:16

so you don't need to be afraid of

play20:18

anything

play20:20

you need to learn to accept the love

play20:22

that comes from you in imagination

play20:25

not be afraid of it

play20:29

and some of the greatest news i've heard

play20:31

was that

play20:33

and the beginning of this journey was

play20:34

that

play20:35

i was the dreamer of my nightmares i

play20:37

accepted that i created everything that

play20:39

was a nightmare in my life

play20:42

when i was able to accept that i didn't

play20:44

reason my way into it i didn't say well

play20:46

is it really how could i be if i was a

play20:47

child i don't i don't i just accept it

play20:50

and from there i was able to accept many

play20:52

other things for myself because if i'm

play20:55

the cause of my nightmare i'm the cause

play20:56

of you know my wonderful dreams

play20:59

and it doesn't matter what

play21:02

doesn't matter what the world says it's

play21:03

just responding the world must respond

play21:06

to my i am

play21:07

it does not matter

play21:09

what on earth you assume it must

play21:13

respond

play21:15

and it won't shock you because you're so

play21:16

used to assuming in the i am

play21:18

you know the i am requires you to

play21:20

abandon your reasoning yes but you'll

play21:21

get used to that if you practice this

play21:24

and the way you practice is as we'll go

play21:25

back to the i am brilliant you assume i

play21:28

am

play21:28

brilliant not as something you're going

play21:31

to be

play21:32

not as something you have to physically

play21:34

do anything for

play21:36

you don't do anything

play21:39

you free the inner you make the inner

play21:41

man brilliant

play21:42

you make the inner man feel brilliant

play21:45

it's the inner man who needs to be

play21:46

exalted that's the one who's desiring

play21:48

that's the one who's afraid that's the

play21:50

one who is

play21:52

in bondage

play21:54

that's the one who wants to be x y and z

play21:57

so you and

play21:59

all things already are so what you need

play22:01

to do is

play22:02

find the dream that already is

play22:04

the way you want it to be

play22:07

and you feel

play22:09

in the present moment that that is real

play22:11

now

play22:14

and you abandon all reason

play22:16

and what you'll find is

play22:18

that the greatest thing you can do in

play22:20

imagination is to abandon reason and

play22:22

you'll find that everything already is

play22:23

since everything already is there's

play22:25

nothing you need to do but assume

play22:29

and if you can see that you're the same

play22:31

voice that wasn't kept you unbounded

play22:32

same one that frees you the same i am

play22:35

that was the problem is now the solution

play22:39

you know the same one that creates the

play22:41

you're the dreamer of the nightmare

play22:43

then you can be free

play22:45

in your own mind

play22:46

if you assume you're the cause of it all

play22:50

and fall asleep feeling that you found

play22:52

the cause of life just assume it don't

play22:55

reason with it

play22:58

and what you'll find is not not

play23:00

reasoning your way into things is

play23:02

or has neville says going mad

play23:05

is a way to make a dream into a reality

play23:08

it's

play23:08

being bold enough and daring to assume

play23:11

that you are

play23:12

even though your reason denies it

play23:14

even though all your senses deny it you

play23:16

assume you are regardless

play23:20

that is something you're going to be

play23:22

tomorrow but as something you are now

play23:24

that's how i meditate that's what i do

play23:27

and what i've found is that

play23:29

it works

play23:30

it really does work

play23:32

if you know the whole thing's responding

play23:33

to you you don't need to be afraid
