Because the symbolical language of this twilight realm is much the same for all men, the recent explorers of this realm – human imagination – call it the “collective unconscious.” The Bible is a revelation of the laws and functions of Mind expressed in the language of that twilight realm into which we go when we sleep. Its exercise requires tranquility and peace of mind, “Use not vain repetitions,” for prayer is done in secret and “thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Parade and vain repetitions are foreign to prayer. The first requirement is a controlled imagination. Innocence and guilt are mere words with no meaning to the law of consciousness, except as they reflect the state of consciousness itself. Nor is predestined fate the author of my fortunes or misfortunes. There is no chance or accident responsible for the things that happen to me or the environment in which I find myself.
The world, my mirrored self, ever bears witness of the state of consciousness in which I live. That which I feel and believe to be true of myself is now projected in space as my world. The world is my conditioned consciousness objectified. Fancy, thought, hallucination, suspicion: indeed, so wide is its use and so varied its meanings, the word imagination has no status nor fixed significance. This word is made to serve all manner of ideas, some of them directly opposed to one another. In other words, when you say, “I am a man, I am a father, I am an American”, you are not defining different I AM’s you are defining different concepts or arrangements of the one cause-substance – the one I AM.ĬERTAIN WORDS in the course of long use gather so many strange connotations that they almost cease to mean anything at all. That is, your concept of yourself, such as “I am strong”, “I am secure”, “I am loved”, determines the world in which you live. My object in writing these pages is to indicate possibilities inherent in man, to show that man can alter his future but, thus altered, it forms again a deterministic sequence starting from the point of interference – a future that will be consistent with the alteration.Įverything depends upon its attitude towards itself that which it will not affirm as true of itself cannot awaken in its world. There is a treasure in it, a clearly defined road to the realization of your dreams. It gives you an account of the mechanism used in the production of the visible world. THIS book is concerned with the art of realizing your desire.
