at your command by Neville Goddard brought to you by shinjitsu. This book contains the very essence of the principle of expression. Had I cared to, I could have expanded it into a book of several hundred pages, but such expansion would have defeated the purpose of this book. Commands to be effective must be short and to the point. The greatest command ever recorded is found in the few simple words, And God said, 'Let there be light.' In keeping with this principle, I now give to you, the reader, in these few pages, the truth as it was revealed to me. Neville, can man decree a thing and have it come to pass? Most decidedly he can. Man has always decreed that which has appeared in his world and is today decreeing that which is appearing in his world, and shall continue to do so as long as man is conscious of being man. Not one thing has ever appeared in man's world but what man decreed that it should. This you may deny, but try as you will, you cannot disprove it. For this

decreeing is based upon a changeless principle. You do not command things to appear by your words or loud affirmations. Such vain repetition is more often than not confirmation of the opposite. Decreeing is ever done in consciousness. That is, every man is conscious of being that which he has decreed himself to be. The dumb man, without using words, is conscious of being dumb. Therefore, he is decreeing himself to be dumb. When the Bible is read in this light, you will find it to be the greatest scientific book ever written. Instead of looking upon the Bible as the historical record of an ancient civilization or the biography of the unusual life of Jesus, see it as a great psychological drama taking place in the consciousness of man. Claim it as your own, and you will suddenly transform your world from the barren deserts of Egypt to the promised land of Canaan. Everyone will agree with the statement that all things were made by God, and without him, there is nothing made that is made. But what man does not agree upon is the

identity of God. All the churches and priesthoods of the world disagree as to the identity and true nature of God. The Bible proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Moses and the prophets were in one hundred percent Accord as to the identity and nature of God, and Jesus's life and teachings are in agreement with the findings of the prophets of old. Moses discovered God to be man's awareness of being when he declared these little understood words: I am hath sent me unto you. David sang in his Psalms: Be still and know that I am God. Isaiah declared: I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me. I girded thee, though thou Hast not known me. I form the light and create Darkness, I make peace and create evil. I, the Lord, do all these things. The awareness of being as God is stated hundreds of times in the New Testament, to name but a few: I am the shepherd, I am the door, I am the resurrection, and the

Life, I am the way, I am the Alpha and Omega. I am the beginning and the end. And again, whom do you say that I am? It is not stated. I, Jesus, am the door. I, Jesus, am the way. Nor is it said, whom do you say that I, Jesus, am. It is clearly stated, I am the way. The awareness of being is the door through which the manifestations of life pass into the world of form. Consciousness is the resurrecting power, resurrecting that which man is conscious of being. Man is ever out picturing that which he is conscious of being. This is the truth that makes man free, for man is always self-imprisoned or self-freed. If you, the reader, will give up all of your former beliefs in a god apart from yourself and claim God as your awareness of being, as Jesus and the prophets did, you will transform your world with the realization that I and my father are one. This statement, I and my father are one, but my father is greater than I, seems very confusing, but if

interpreted in the light of what we have just said concerning the identity of God, you will find it very revealing. Consciousness being God, is his father. The thing that you are conscious of being is desan bearing witness of his father. It is like the conceiver and its conceptions. The conceiver is ever greater than his conceptions, yet ever remains one with his conception. For instance, before you are conscious of being man, you are first conscious of being, then you become conscious of being man, yet you remain as conceiver, greater than your conception man. Jesus discovered this glorious truth and declared himself to be one with God, not a God that man had fashioned, for he never recognized such a God. He said, If any man should ever come saying look here or look there, believe them not, for the kingdom of God is within you. Heaven is within you. Therefore, when it is recorded that he went unto his father, it is telling you that he rose in Consciousness to the point where he was just conscious of being, thus transcending the limitations of his

present conception of himself called Jesus. In the awareness of being, all things are possible. He said, You shall decree a thing and it shall come to pass. This is his decreeing, rising in Consciousness to the naturalness of being the thing desired as he expressed it, And I, if I be lifted up, I shall draw all men unto me. If I be lifted up in Consciousness to the naturalness of the thing desired, I will draw the manifestation of that desire unto me. For he states, No man comes unto me save the Father Within Me draws him, and I and my Father are one. Therefore, Consciousness is the Father that is drawing the manifestations of Life unto you. You are at this very moment drawing into your world that which you are now conscious of being. Now you can see what is meant by you must be born again. If you are dissatisfied with your present expression in life, the only way to change it is to take your attention away from that which seems so real to you and rise in Consciousness to that which you desire to be. You cannot

serve two masters therefore to take your attention from one state of consciousness and place it upon another is to die to one and live to the other. The question whom do you say that I am is not addressed to a man called Peter by one called Jesus. This is the Eternal question addressed to oneself by one's true being. In other words, whom do you say that you are for your conviction of yourself, your opinion of yourself will determine your expression in life. He States you believe in God believe also in me. In other words, it is the me within you that is this God. Praying then is seen to be recognizing yourself to be that which you now desire rather than its accepting form of petitioning a God that does not exist for that which you now desire. So can't you see why the millions of prayers are unanswered? Men pray to a god that does not exist. For instance, to be conscious of being poor and to pray to a god for riches is to be rewarded with that which you are conscious of being, which is poverty.

prayers to be successful must be claiming rather than begging. So if you would pray for riches, turn from your picture of poverty by denying the very evidence of your senses and assume the nature of being wealthy. We are told, When you pray, go within in secret and shut the door, and that which your father Sees In Secret with that will he reward you openly. We have identified the father to be the awareness of being. We have also identified the door to be the awareness of being. So shutting the door is shutting out that which I am now aware of being and claiming myself to be that which I desire to be. The very moment my claim is established to the point of conviction, that moment I begin to draw unto myself the evidence of my claim. Do not question the how of these things appearing, for no man knows that way, that is no manifestation knows how the things desired will appear. Consciousness is the way or door through which things appear. He said, I am the way, not I John Smith am the way, but I am the awareness of being.

is the way through which the thing shall come. The signs always follow, they never proceed. Things have no reality other than in consciousness. Therefore, get the Consciousness first, and the thing is compelled to appear. You are told, seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and all things shall be added unto you. Get first the consciousness of the things that you are seeking, and leave the things alone. This is what is meant by ye shall decree a thing, and it shall come to pass. Apply this principle, and you will know what it is to prove me and see. The story of Mary is the story of every man. Mary was not a woman giving birth in some miraculous way to one called Jesus. Mary is the awareness of being that ever remains virgin, no matter how many desires it gives birth to. Right now, look upon yourself as this Virgin Mary being impregnated by yourself through the medium of Desire, becoming one with your desire to the point of embodying or giving birth to your desire. For instance, it is said of Mary, whom you now know to

be yourself that she know not a man. Yet she conceived that is you, John Smith, have no reason to believe that that which you now desire is possible. But having discovered your awareness of being to be God, you make this awareness your husband and conceive a man-child manifestation of the Lord. For thy maker is thine husband, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Lord God of the whole Earth shall he be called. Your ideal or ambition is this conception, the first command to her which is now to yourself is go tell no man. That is, do not discuss your ambitions or desires with another, for the other will only echo your present fears. Secrecy is the first law to be observed in realizing your desire. The second, as we are told in the story of Mary, is to magnify the Lord. We have identified the Lord as your awareness of being, therefore to magnify the Lord is to revalue or expand one's present conception of oneself to the point where this revaluation becomes natural. When this naturalness is attained, you give

birth by becoming that which you are one with in consciousness. The story of creation is given to us in digest form in the first chapter of John: In the beginning was the Word. Now this very second is the beginning spoken of. It is the beginning of an urge, a desire. The Word is the desire swimming around in your consciousness, seeking embodiment. The urge of itself has no reality, for I am or the awareness of being is the only reality. Things live only as long as I'm aware of being them. So, to realize one's desire, the second line of this first verse of John must be applied. That is, and the Word was with God. The Word or desire must be fixed or united with consciousness to give it reality. The awareness becomes aware of being the thing desired, thereby nailing itself upon the form or conception and giving life unto its conception or resurrecting that which was heretofore a dead or unfulfilled desire. Two shall agree as touching anything, and it shall be established on Earth. This agreement is never made between two.

persons it is between the awareness and the thing desired. You are now conscious of being so you are actually saying to yourself without using words I am now. If it is a state of health that you are desirous of attaining before you have any evidence of Health in your world, you begin to feel yourself to be healthy. And the very second the feeling I am healthy is attained, the two have agreed, that is, I am and health have agreed to be one. And this agreement ever results in the birth of a child, which is the thing agreed upon, in this case, health. And because I made the agreement, I expressed the thing agreed. So you can see why Moses stated, I am hath sent me. For what being other than I am could send you into expression? None, for I am the way. Beside me, there is no other. If you take the wings of the morning and fly into the uttermost parts of the world, or if you make your bed in hell, you will still be aware of being. You are ever sent into expression by

your awareness and your expression is ever that which you are aware of being. Again, Moses stated, I am that I am. Now, here is something to always bear in mind: you cannot put new wine in old bottles or new patches upon old garments. That is, you cannot take with you into the new consciousness any part of the old man. All of your present beliefs, fears, and limitations are weights that bind you to your present level of consciousness. If you would transcend this level, you must leave behind all that is now your present self or conception of yourself. To do this, you take your attention away from all that is now your problem or limitation and dwell upon just being. That is, you say silently but feeling to yourself, I am. Do not condition this awareness as yet, just declare yourself to be and continue to do so until you are lost in the feeling of just being, faceless and formless. When this expansion of consciousness is attained, then within this formless deep of yourself, give form to the new conception by feeling yourself to be that which you

desire to be you will find within this deep of yourself all things to be divinely possible. Everything in the world, which you can conceive of being, is to you within this present formless awareness, a most natural attainment. The invitation given us in the scriptures is to be absent from the body and be present with the Lord. The body being your former conception of yourself and the Lord your awareness of being. This is what is meant when Jesus said to Nicodemus, you must be born again for accept ye be born again ye cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. That is except you leave behind you your present conception of yourself and assume the nature of the new birth, you will continue to out picture your present limitations. The only way to change your expressions of life is to change your consciousness. Consciousness is the reality that eternally solidifies itself in the things round about you. Man's world in its every detail is his Consciousness outpictured. You can no more change your environment or World by destroying things than you can your Reflection by

destroying the mirror your environment and all within it reflects that which you are in Consciousness. As long as you continue to be that in Consciousness, so long will you continue to out picture it in your world. Knowing this, begin to revalue yourself. Man has placed too little value upon himself. In the Book of Numbers, you will read, In that day there were giants in the land, and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and we were in their sight as grasshoppers. This does not mean a time in the dim past when man had the stature of giants. Today is the day, the Eternal now, when conditions round about you have attained the appearance of giants, such as unemployed, the armies of your enemy, your problems, and all things that seem to threaten you. Those are the giants that make you feel yourself to be a grasshopper. But you are told you were first in your own sight a grasshopper, and because of this, you were to the Giants a grasshopper. In other words, you

can only be to others what you are first to yourself. Therefore, to revalue yourself and begin to feel yourself to be the giant, a center of power, is to dwarf these former Giants and make of them grasshoppers. All the inhabitants of the Earth are as nothing, and he doeth according to his will in the armies of heaven and among all the inhabitants of the Earth, and none can stay his hand nor say unto him, What doest thou? This being spoken of is not the Orthodox God sitting in space, but the one and only God, the Everlasting Father. Your awareness of being so awake to the power that you are, not as man, but as your true self, a faceless, formless awareness, and free yourself from your self-imposed prison. I am the Good Shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they will follow me. Awareness is the Good Shepherd. What I am aware of being is the sheep that follow me. So good a Shepherd is your awareness.

that it has never lost one of the sheep that you are aware of. Being I am a voice calling in the wilderness of human confusion for such as I am aware of being, and never shall there come a time when that which I am convinced that I am shall fail to find me. I am is an Open Door for all that I am to enter. Your awareness of being is Lord and Shepherd of your life. So the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, is seen in its true light now to be your consciousness. You could never be in want of proof or lack the evidence of that which you are aware of being. This being true, why not become aware of being great, god-loving, wealthy, healthy, and all attributes that you admire. It is just as easy to possess the consciousness of these qualities as it is to possess their opposites. For you have not your present Consciousness because of your world. On the contrary, your world is what it is because of your present consciousness. Simple is it not, too simple in fact for.

the wisdom of man that tries to complicate everything. Paul said of this principle it is to the Greeks or wisdom of this world foolishness, and to the Jews or those who look for signs a stumbling block, with the result that man continues to walk in darkness rather than awake to the being that he is and has so long worshiped the images of his own making. That at first he finds this Revelation Blasphemous since it spells death to all his previous beliefs in a god apart from himself. This revelation will bring the knowledge that I and my father are one, but my father is greater than I. You are one with your present conception of yourself, but you are greater than that which you are at present aware of being. Before man can attempt to transform his world, he must first lay the foundation. I am the Lord, that is man's awareness, his consciousness of being is God. Until this is firmly established, so that no suggestion or argument put forward by others can shake it, he will find himself returning to the slavery of his former

beliefs. If ye believe not that I am he, he shall die in your sins. That is, you shall continue to be confused and thwarted until you find the cause of your confusion. When you have lifted up the son of man, then shall you know that I am he. That is, that I, John Smith, do nothing of myself, but my father, or that state of consciousness which I am now one with, does the works. When this is realized, every urge and desire that springs within you shall find expression in your world. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come into him and sup with him, and he with me. The eye knocking at the door is the urge. The door is your consciousness. To open the door is to become one with that which is knocking by feeling oneself to be the thing desired. To feel one's desire is impossible is to shut the door or deny this urge expression. To rise in consciousness to the naturalness of the

thing felt is to swing wide the door and invite this one into embodiment. That is why it is constantly recorded that Jesus left the world of manifestation and ascended unto his father. Jesus as you and I found all things impossible to Jesus as man, but having discovered his father to be the state of consciousness of the thing desired, he but left behind him the Jesus Consciousness and Rose in Consciousness to that state desired, and stood upon it until he became one with it. As he made himself one with that, he became that in expression. This is Jesus' simple message to man. Men are but garments that the impersonal being, I am, the presence that men call God, dwells in. Each garment has certain limitations. In order to transcend these limitations and give expression to that which, as man John Smith, you find yourself incapable of doing, you take your attention away from your present limitations or John Smith conception of yourself, and merge yourself in the feeling of being that which you desire. Just how this desire or newly attained

Consciousness will embody itself. No man knows for I or the newly attained Consciousness has ways that ye know not of. Its ways are past finding out. Do not speculate as to the how of this Consciousness embodying itself for no man is wise enough to know the how. Speculation is proof that you have not attained to the naturalness of being the thing desired and so are filled with doubts. You are told he who lacks wisdom let him ask of God that gives to all liberally and uprateth not and it shall be given unto him but let him ask not doubting for He Who doubts is as a wave of the sea that is tossed and battered by the winds and let not such a one think that he shall receive anything from the Lord. You can see why this statement is made for only upon the rock of faith can anything be established. If you have not the consciousness of the thing you have not the cause or Foundation upon which thing is erected a proof of this.

established. Consciousness is given you in the words. Thank you, Father, when you come into the joy of Thanksgiving so that you actually feel grateful for having received that which is not yet apparent to the senses. You have definitely become one in Consciousness with the thing for which you gave thanks. God, your awareness is not mocked. You are ever receiving that which you are aware of being, and no man gives thanks for something which he has not received. Thank you, Father, is not, as it is used by many today, a sort of magical formula. You need never utter aloud the words thank you, Father in applying this Principle. As you rise in Consciousness to the point where you are really grateful and happy for having received the thing desired, you automatically rejoice and give thanks inwardly. You have already accepted the gift, which was but a desire before you rose in Consciousness, and your faith is now the substance that shall clothe your desire. This rising in Consciousness is the spiritual marriage where two shall agree upon being one, and their likeness or image is established on Earth.

for whatsoever ye ask in my name, the same give I unto you. Whatsoever is quite a large measure. It is the unconditional. It does not state if Society deems it right or wrong that you should ask it. It rests with you. Do you really want it? Do you desire it? That is all that is necessary. Life will give it to you if you ask in his name. His name is not a name that you pronounce with the lips. You can ask forever in the name of God or Jehovah or Christ Jesus, and you will ask in vain. Name means nature. So when you ask in the nature of a thing, results ever follow. To ask in the name is to rise in Consciousness and become one in nature with the thing desired. Rise in Consciousness to the nature of the thing, and you will become that thing in expression. Therefore, what things soever ye desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall receive them. Praying, as we have shown you before, is recognition. The injunction to believe that ye receive is first person present.

tense. This means that you must be in the nature of the things asked for before you can receive them. To get into the nature easily, general amnesty is necessary. We are told, Forgive, if ye have aught against any, that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you. But if ye forgive not, neither will your Father forgive you. This may seem to be some personal God who is pleased or displeased with your actions, but this is not the case. Consciousness being God, if you hold in consciousness anything against man, you are binding that condition in your world. But to release man from all condemnation is to free yourself so that you may rise to any level necessary. There is therefore no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus. Therefore, a very good practice before you enter into your meditation is first to free every man in the world from blame. For law is never violated, and you can rest confidently in the knowledge that every man's conception of himself is going to be his reward. So you do not have to bother yourself about seeing whether or not man

gets what you consider. He should get for life, makes no mistakes, and always gives man that which man first gives himself. This brings us to that much-abused statement of the Bible on tithing. Teachers of all kinds have enslaved man with this affair of tithing, for not themselves understanding the nature of tithing, and being themselves fearful of lack. They have led their followers to believe that a tenth part of their income should be given to the Lord, meaning, as they make very clear, that when one gives a tenth part of his income to their particular organization, he is giving his tenth part to the Lord, or his tithing. But remember, I am the Lord, your awareness of being is the god that you give to, and you ever give in this manner. Therefore, when you claim yourself to be anything, you have given that claim or quality to God and your awareness of being, which is no respecter of persons, will return to you pressed down, shaken together, and running over with that quality or attribute which you claim for yourself.

awareness of being is nothing that you could ever name. To claim God to be rich, to be great, to be love, to be all wise, is to define that which cannot be defined. For God is nothing that could ever be named. Tithing is necessary, and you do tithe with God, but from now on, give to the only God, and see to it that you give Him the quality that you desire as man to express by claiming yourself to be the great, the wealthy, the loving, the all-wise. Do not speculate as to how you shall express these qualities or claims, for life has a way that you, as man, know not of. Its ways are past finding out, but I assure you, the day you claim these qualities to the point of conviction, your claims will be honored. There is nothing covered that shall be uncovered. That which is spoken in secret shall be proclaimed from the housetops. That is your secret convictions of yourself, these secret claims that no man knows of. When really believed, will be shouted from the housetops in your world.

for your convictions of yourself are the words of the God within you. Which words are spirit and cannot return unto you void but must accomplish where unto they are sent. You are at this moment calling out of the infinite that which you are now conscious of being. And not one word or conviction will fail to find you. I am the vine and ye are the branches. Consciousness is the vine and those qualities which you are now conscious of being are as branches that you feed and keep alive. Just as a branch has no life except it be rooted in the vine. So likewise things have no life except you be conscious of them. Just as a branch. Withers and dies if the sap of the vine ceases to flow towards it. So do things in your world pass away if you take your attention from them. Because your attention is as the sap of life that keeps alive and sustains the things of Your World. To dissolve a problem that now seems so real to you all that you do is remove your attention from it. In spite of its seeming reality.

turn from it in Consciousness, become indifferent, and begin to feel yourself to be that which would be the solution of the problem. For instance, if you were imprisoned, no man would have to tell you that you should desire freedom. Freedom, or rather the desire of Freedom, would be automatic. So why look behind the four walls of your prison bars? Take your attention from being imprisoned and begin to feel yourself to be free. Feel it to the point where it is natural. The very second you do so, those prison bars will dissolve. Apply this same principle to any problem. I have seen people who were in debt up to their ears apply this principle, and in the twinkling of an eye, debts that were mountainous were removed. I have seen those whom doctors had given up as incurable take their attention away from their problem of disease and begin to feel themselves to be well, in spite of the evidence of their senses to the contrary. In no time at all, this so-called incurable disease vanished and left no scar. Your answer to whom do you

say that I am ever determines your expression as long as you are conscious of being imprisoned or diseased or poor so long will you continue to out picture or Express these conditions. When man realized that he is now that which he is seeking and begins to claim that he is, he will have the proof of his claim. This cue is given you in words: Whom seek ye? and they answered, Jesus, and the voice said, I am he. Jesus is here means salvation or savior you are seeking to be salvaged from that which is not your problem. I am is he that will save you. If you are hungry, your savior is food. If you are poor, your savior is riches. If you are imprisoned, your savior is freedom. If you are diseased, it will not be a man called Jesus who will save you, but health will become your savior. Therefore, claim I am he. In other words, claim yourself to be the thing desired. Claim it in Consciousness, not in words, and Consciousness will reward you with your claim. You are told, you shall find.

me when you feel after me well feel after that quality in Consciousness until you feel yourself to be it. When you lose yourself in the feeling of being it, the quality will embody itself in your world. You are healed from your problem when you touch the solution of it. Who has touched me for I perceive virtue has gone out of me. Yes, the day you touch this being within you feeling yourself to be cured or healed, virtues will come out of your very self and solidify themselves in your world as healings. It is said you believe in God believe also in me for I am he. Have the faith of God. He made himself one with God and found it not robbery to do the works of God. Go you and do likewise. Yes, begin to believe your awareness, your consciousness of being to be God. Claim for yourself all the attributes that you have here to forgive in an external God and you will begin to express these claims. For I am not a god afar off. I am nearer than your

hands and feet nearer than your very breathing. I am your awareness of being. I am that in which all that I shall ever be aware of being shall begin and end. For before the world was, I am, and when the world shall cease to be, I am. Before Abraham was, I am. This I am is your awareness. Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. The Lord being your Consciousness. Except that which you seek is first established in your Consciousness, you will labor in vain to find it. All things must begin and end in Consciousness. So blessed indeed is the man that trusteth in himself, for man's faith in God will ever be measured by his confidence in himself. You believe in a God, believe also in me. Put not your trust in men, for men but reflect the being that you are and can only bring to you or do unto you that which you have first done unto yourself. No man taketh away my life, I lay it down myself. I have the power to lay it down.

and the power to take it up again. No matter what happens to man in this world, it is never an accident. It occurs under the guidance of an exact and changeless law. No man manifestation comes unto me except the father within me draw him, and I and my father are one. Believe this truth, and you will be free. Man has always blamed others for that which he is and will continue to do so until he find himself as cause of all. I am comes not to destroy but to fulfill. I am the awareness within you, destroys nothing but ever fill full the molds or conception one has of oneself. It is impossible for the poor man to find wealth in this world, no matter how he is surrounded with it, until he first claims himself to be wealthy, for signs follow. They do not proceed to constantly kick and complain against the limitations of poverty while remaining poor in Consciousness is to play the Fool's game. Changes cannot take place from that level of Consciousness, for life and constantly out picturing all levels.

follow the example of The Prodigal Son. Realize that you yourself brought about this condition of waste and lack and make the decision within yourself to rise to a higher level where the fatted calf, the ring, and the robe await your claim. There was no condemnation of the prodigal when he had the courage to claim this inheritance as his own. Others will condemn us only as long as we continue in that for which we condemn ourselves. So happy is the man that condemneth himself not in that which he alloweth. For to life, nothing is condemned, all is expressed. Life does not care whether you call yourself rich or poor, strong or weak. It will eternally reward you with that which you claim is true of yourself. The measurements of right and wrong belong to man alone. To life, there is nothing right or wrong. As Paul stated in his letters to the Romans, I know and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself, but to him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to

him it is unclean. Stop asking yourself whether you are worthy or unworthy to receive that which you desire. You as man did not create the desire. Your desires are ever fashioned within you because of what you now claim yourself to be. When a man is hungry, without thinking, he automatically desires food. When imprisoned, he automatically desires freedom, and so forth. Your desires contained within themselves the plan of self-expression. So, leave all judgments out of the picture and rise in Consciousness to the level of your desire and make yourself one with it by claiming it to be so. Now, for my grace is sufficient for thee, my strength is made perfect in weakness. Have faith in this unseen claim until the conviction is born within you that it is so. Your confidence in this claim will pay great rewards. Just a little while and he, the thing desired, will come. But without faith, it is impossible to realize anything. Through faith, the worlds were framed because faith is the substance of the thing hoped for, the evidence of the thing not yet seen.

don't be anxious or concerned as to results. They will follow just as surely as day follows night. Look upon your desires, all of them, as the spoken words of God. In every word or desire, a promise. The reason most of us fail to realize our desires is because we are constantly conditioning them. Do not condition your desire, just accept it as it comes to you. Give thanks for it to the point that you are grateful for having already received it. Then go about your way in peace. Such acceptance of your desire is like dropping seed, fertile seed, into prepared soil. For when you can drop the thing desired in Consciousness, confident that it shall appear, you have done all that is expected to you. But to be worried or concerned about the how of your desire maturing is to hold these fertile seeds in a mental grasp and therefore never to have dropped them in the soil of confidence. The reason men condition their desires is because they constantly judge after the appearance of being and see the things as real, forgetting that the only

reality is the Consciousness back of them. To see things as real is to deny that all things are possible to God. The man who is imprisoned and sees his four walls as real is automatically denying the urge or promise of God within him of freedom. A question often asked when this statement is made is if one's desire is a gift of God, how can you say that if one desires to kill a man, that such a desire is good and therefore God sent? In answer to this, let me say that no man desires to kill another. What he does desire is to be freed from such a one, but because he does not believe that the desire to be free from such a one contains within itself the powers of Freedom, he conditions that desire and sees the only way to express such freedom is to destroy the man, forgetting that the life wrapped within the desire has ways that he as man knows not of; its ways are past finding out. Thus, man distorts the gifts of God through his lack of faith. Problems are the mountains

spoken of that can be removed if one has but the faith of a grain of a mustard seed men approach their problem. As did the old lady who on attending service and hearing the priest say, If you had but the faith of a grain of a mustard seed, you would say unto Yonder Mountain, be thou removed and it shall be removed, and nothing is impossible to you. That night as she said her prayers, she quoted this part of the scriptures and retired to bed. In what she thought was faith. On arising in the morning, she rushed to the window and exclaimed, I knew that old mountain would still be there. For this is how man approaches his problem. He knows that they are still going to confront him. And because life is no respecter of persons and destroys nothing, it continues to keep alive that which he is conscious of being. Things will disappear only as man changes in Consciousness. Deny it if you will, it still remains a fact that Consciousness is the only reality. And things but mirror that which you are in.

consciousness. So, the Heavenly State you are seeking will be found only in consciousness, for the Kingdom of Heaven is within you. As the will of Heaven is ever done on Earth, you are today living in the heaven that you have established within you. For here on this very Earth, your Heaven reveals itself. The kingdom of heaven really is at hand. Now is the accepted time, so create a new Heaven, enter into a new State of Consciousness, and a new Earth will appear. The former things shall pass away, they shall not be remembered nor come into mind anymore. For behold, I, your Consciousness, come quickly, and my reward is with me. I am nameless, but will take upon myself every name, nature, that you call me. Remember, it is you yourself that I speak of as me. So, every conception that you have of yourself, that is, every deep conviction you have of yourself, is that which you shall appear as being. For I am not fooled. God is not mocked. Now let me instruct you in the art of fishing. It is recorded that the disciples fished all

night and caught nothing. Then Jesus came upon the scene and told them to cast their nets in once more into the same waters that only a moment before were barren. And this time their nets were bursting with the catch. This story is taking place in the world today, right within you, the reader. For you have within you all the elements necessary to go fishing, but until you find that Jesus Christ, your awareness is Lord, you will fish as did these disciples in the night of human darkness. That is, you will fish for things, thinking things to be real, and will fish with the human bait, which is struggle and effort, trying to make contact with this one and that one, trying to coerce this being or the other being, and all such effort will be in vain. But when you discover your awareness of being to be Christ Jesus, you will let him direct your fishing, and you will fish in consciousness for the things that you desire, for your desire will be the fish that you will catch, because your consciousness is the only living reality.

you will fish in the deep waters of consciousness if you would catch that which is beyond your present capacity. You must launch out into deeper waters. For within your present consciousness, such fish or desires cannot swim. To launch out into deeper waters, you leave behind you all that is now your present problem or limitation by taking your attention away from it. Turn your back completely upon every problem and limitation that you now possess. Dwell upon just being by saying, I am, I am, I am to yourself. Continue to declare to yourself that you just are. Do not condition this declaration, just continue to feel yourself to be. And without warning, you will find yourself slipping the anchor that tied you to the shallows of your problems and moving out into the deep. This is usually accompanied with the feeling of expansion. You will feel yourself expand as though you were actually growing. Don't be afraid, for courage is necessary. You are not going to die to anything but your former limitations, but they are going to die as you move away from them, for they live only in your consciousness.

in this deep or expanded Consciousness, you will find yourself to be a power that you had never dreamed of before. The things desired before you shoved off from the shores of limitation are the fish you are going to catch in this deep, because you have lost all consciousness of your problems and barriers. It is now the easiest thing in the world to feel yourself to be one with the things desired because I am your Consciousness is the resurrection and the life. You must attach this resurrecting power that you are to the thing desired if you would make it appear and live in your world. Now you begin to assume the nature of the thing desired by feeling I am wealthy, I am free, I am strong. When these fields are fixed within yourself, your formless being will take upon itself the forms of the things felt. You become crucified upon the feelings of wealth, freedom, and strength, remain buried in the Stillness of these convictions. Then, as a thief in the night and when you least expect it, these qualities will be resurrected in your world as living.

realities. The world shall touch you and see that you are flesh and blood, for you shall begin to bear fruit of the nature of these qualities newly appropriated. This is the art of successful fishing for the manifestations of life. Successful realization of the thing desired is also told us in the story of Daniel in the Lion's Den. Here it is recorded that Daniel, while in the Lion's Den, turned his back upon the Lions and looked towards the light coming from above, that the Lions remained powerless. In Daniel's faith in his God saved him. This also is your story, and you too must do as Daniel did if you found yourself in a lion's den. You would have no other concern but Lions. You would not be thinking of one thing in the world but your problem, which problem would be Lions. Yet you are told that Daniel turned his back upon them and looked towards the light that was his God. If we would follow the example of Daniel, we would while imprisoned within the den of poverty, of sickness, take our attention.

away from our problems of debts or sickness, and dwell upon the thing we seek. If we do not look back in consciousness to our problems, but continue in faith believing ourselves to be that which we seek, we too will find our prison walls open and the thing sought. Yes, whatsoever things realized. Another story is told us of the Widow and the three drops of oil. The prophet asks the Widow, What have ye in your house? And she replied, Three drops of oil. He then said to her, Go borrow vessels, close the door after you have returned into your house, and begin to pour. And she poured from three drops of oil into all the borrowed vessels, filling them to capacity with oil remaining. You, the reader, are this Widow. You have not a husband to impregnate you or make you fruitful, for a widow is a barren state. Your awareness is now the Lord or the prophet that has become your husband. Follow the example of the Widow who, instead of recognizing an emptiness or nothingness, recognizes the something - three drops of oil. Then the command to

her go within and close the door that is shut. The door of the senses that tell you of the empty measures, the debts, the problems. When you have taken your attention away completely by shutting out the evidence of the senses, begin to feel the joy symbolized by oil of having received the things desired. When the agreement is established within you so that all doubts and fears have passed away, then you too will fill all the empty measures of your life and will have an abundance running over. Recognition is the power that conjures in the world every state that you have ever recognized, you have embodied. That which you are recognizing is true of yourself today is what you are experiencing. So be the Widow and recognize Joy. No matter how little the beginnings of recognition, and you will be generously rewarded, for the world is a magnified mirror magnifying everything that you are conscious of being. I am the Lord, the God, which has brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have not other gods.

Before me, what a glorious revelation. Your awareness now revealed as the Lord thy God. Come awake from your dream of being imprisoned. Realize that the Earth is Yours and the fullness thereof, the world and all that dwells therein. You have become so enmeshed in the belief that you are man that you have forgotten the glorious being that you are. Now, with your memory restored, decree the unseen to appear, and it shall appear, for all things are compelled to respond to the voice of God. Your awareness of being, the world is at your command.

네빌 고다드의 "당신의 명령에 따라"에 나오는 명령과 의식의 힘

이 책은 짧고 간결한 명령의 효과를 강조하며, 자신의 현실을 규정하는 의식의 힘을 강조합니다.

성경을 인간의 의식 속에서 벌어지는 심리 드라마로 해석하고, 인간의 존재 인식으로서의 하나님의 정체성을 강조합니다.

이 책은 의식이 원하는 현실의 자연스러움으로 상승함으로써 그 욕망의 표현을 삶에 끌어낼 수 있다고 가르치며, 삶의 표현을 바꾸기 위해 의식에서 다시 태어나는 것의 중요성을 강조합니다.

"나는 누구라고 말합니까?"라는 질문은 사실 자신의 진정한 존재와 자기 확신에 대한 질문입니다.

기도는 별도의 신에게 간청하는 것이 아니라 자신을 원하는 존재로 인식하는 것입니다.

의식은 사물이 나타나는 방식이기 때문에 발현의 핵심은 자신이 원하는 존재라는 깊은 확신을 확립하는 것입니다.

자기 인식은 한계를 초월하고 새로운 의식을 받아들이는 열쇠입니다.

현재의 신념과 두려움은 여러분을 방해할 뿐이며, 변화하려면 기존의 자아를 버리고 '존재'에만 집중해야 합니다.

외부 세계는 내면의 의식을 반영하는 것이므로 의식을 바꾸면 삶과 주변 환경을 바꿀 수 있습니다.

자기 인식의 힘을 받아들이면 자신의 현실의 주인이 되어 자신이 열망하는 사람으로 변화할 수 있습니다.

'나는 나다'라는 의식에 대한 믿음은 혼란을 극복하고 욕망을 표현하는 데 매우 중요합니다.

원하는 것의 상태로 의식을 끌어올리는 것이 그것을 표현하는 데 핵심입니다.

감사와 감사의 원리는 원하는 것을 표현하기 위한 강력한 도구입니다.

십일조는 교사들에 의해 오해되고 오용되어 왔지만, 십일조는 자신의 존재에 대한 자각에 바치는 행위입니다.

의식에 바람직한 자질을 주장하고 구현함으로써 그 자질은 자신의 삶에서 나타날 것입니다.

주의와 느낌을 문제의 바람직한 해결책을 향해 전환하면 문제가 해소되고 원하는 결과가 나타날 수 있습니다.

신에 대한 인간의 믿음은 자신에 대한 자신감으로 측정되기 때문에 자신감은 매우 중요합니다.

모든 것은 의식에서 시작되고 의식에서 끝나며, 인생은 스스로 주장하는 진리에 따라 보상을 줄 것입니다.

욕망의 실현은 보이지 않는 주장에서 비롯되며 불안하지 않고 결실을 맺을 것이므로 욕망을 조절하지 말고 믿음을 가지세요.

사물의 현실을 믿으면 신이 창조한 가능성을 제한하고 욕망을 왜곡할 수 있습니다.

흔들리지 않는 믿음과 의식을 변화시킴으로써 문제를 극복할 수 있습니다.

한계에서 벗어나 존재의 상태로 주의를 전환함으로써 개인의 성장과 제약으로부터의 해방을 경험할 수 있습니다.

여러분은 깊고 확장된 의식에 완전히 몰입하고 한계와 장벽을 버림으로써 욕망을 발현할 수 있는 힘을 가지고 있습니다.

원하는 것의 감정을 구현하고 흔들리지 않는 믿음을 유지하면 그 욕망을 실현할 수 있습니다.

핵심은 문제에서 벗어나 원하는 것들로 인식을 전환하고, 그 성취의 기쁨을 인식하고 구현하는 것입니다.
