Condensed Version of "Catch the Mood"

 Good Morning All,

Today I finished editing Neville's Lecture "Catch The Mood." It was originally 14 pages and I have condensed it to 7 pages. I believe I did a good job here. The message of the lecture is still valid. The wording has been enhanced in a spot or two. I struggled in the beginning with Neville's lectures because he had a way of saying things that I didn't understand. I figured it all out by looking up the dictionary definition of words - but had to take what he was saying and try to figure out - in my English - what he meant. The phrase "prayer is the subjective appropriation of the objective hope" took me a long time to understand. I finally had to change it in my mind to "I have to believe it in my imagination in order to obtain it in reality." I've added this definition to the lecture - but the rest is the same. Happy reading, Glenda.
 

Faith - with comments

FAITH 

Neville Goddard, July 22, 1968 

I really enjoyed this lecture, and I got a lot out of it. (see the various links with my comments).  Neville covered the following in this lecture:

• Everything is already created (spiritually). We do not have to "make" things, we just have to imagine them into OUR lives.
• We move ourselves into states whether we believe that we do, or not. The law works without our belief in it. So do not use the law idly or for escape - use the law wisely.
• You CAN change the past. 

(In fact he says elsewhere, changing the memories of the past is the best way to change the future).

• The definition of faith.
• Sometimes we put limits on what God can do - we are afraid of what God can do and we try to limit it with doubts. Doubt is the unforgivable sin. 
• We forget that God created everything and we put our faith in our own accomplishments - as if we did it ourselves.
• We forget that nothing happens by accident - we cause it by our lack of attention to our imagination. 

(I do not know why a baby dies at birth - perhaps they can think more than we give them credit for - and they know more than we think they know - and choose to start over? Perhaps we don't know all we think we know. gla)

• No one can fail, because if one failed - then God failed - and that's not possible.
• Neville liked to teach the Law - but he LOVED the Promise.
• It frightens people to think God is within - they would rather have God on the outside and the Devil on the outside so there is someone to blame for the way their life has turned out.
• The "traditions" of men hinder our growth.
• YOU ARE THE OPERANT POWER - IT DOESN'T OPERATE ITSELF.

Great Inspiration and Teacher

 I want to publicly thank Mr. Twenty Twenty and his wife Victoria for all the assistance they have given me with their courses, blog and personal e-mails. I took the 90-day course called Manifesting Mastery and I learned a tremendous amount. 

I learned about how my mind works.

I learned about how my previous religious beliefs affect me now at age 64.

I learned that my mind is always using my past experiences to create new ones - and how to focus it properly.

I learned that I have a lot more to learn.

I learned that there are people out there in "internetland" who want me to succeed and want to help me in that process.

Thanks Mr. TT and thanks Victoria

Love and hugs -- glenda

Chronological Lectures list completed

Whoo Hoo! The Chronological list page with links is completed. Click on it to the left. Time to take a break and read some more Mercedes Lackey. I found all three of "The Mage Winds" series at Savers the other day and got them to read over again. I enjoy the Valdemar series that Ms. Lackey has written. I am not a fan of fantasy set in the modern day - so I haven't read all of Ms. Lackey's books, but I can say I have read a great deal of her work and I enjoy it tremendously. I think my favorite character is Mags. 

Well, Happy Day to all -- Love Glenda

Alphabetical List Completed

Jan 29  -- I have the alphabetical list of Neville Goddard's lectures completed. See the link on the left side of the page. As you can see from the list, there are several lectures on the same dates - but the lectures are different. Then there are several lectures that are expanded/condensed versions of lectures (basically the condensed version has been pared down to around half the pages as the expanded version.) There are also several lectures that have been published under different names. By my count there are about 500 lectures, but this is not all of Neville's lectures. Some have yet to be transcribed. I will add them here as they are completed. 

Thanks and happy day to all - Glenda

Who Am I?

I have been studying this past year in the scriptures and various writers about "who I am" and who I am meant to be. It has been a long, enlightening and frustrating journey, but I can see the answer coming about in ways that I did not know.

Moses says that God's name is I AM. And Jesus has said that we reach the ultimate when we are one with him and the Father. We also learn, when we read the Bible, that the Kingdom of Heaven is within. What I have been learning is how we are ACTUALLY gods right now -- all of us, unconditional of what state we find ourselves. When we understand that we are already gods, then we can have a confidence in our abilities and faith in the words of the Father. 

It is a concept that has been a struggle for me because I have been taught that "I am a child of God, but I am not good enough, yet. I am not worthy yet. I haven't done enough to get there yet and I haven't completed enough ordinances or paid enough tithing." But, are we not "god" if we are children of God.

 

I am learning how can we be "one with God" and still live in this wicked world? Because the answer is that we create this world with our imagination, our thoughts and our beliefs. How can we right this supposed wrong? Daily repentance (which means a change of mind) or daily revision. 

Have I sinned? Yes, daily I miss the mark. That is what sin is: missing the mark that you aimed for. Can we be forgiven every day for missing the mark? Can we believe that God wants to give us blessings daily - rather than just what we "deserve". Who decides what we deserve? We do! As we believe, so it shall be.

My journey has been full of ups and downs, struggles and surrenders. I have learned how to be and yet I struggle to be that person I want to be. I am that puzzle, and yet I continue. Maybe you can learn from my efforts.

Thanks for stopping by -- Glenda 

The New Year is upon us...

 Happy 2025!

It's a new year with new goals - of course. But NO NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS. Resolutions don't last - lifestyle changes and new habits are what I am aiming for. 

This year I hope to help others to learn about Neville Goddard. I have learned a tremendous about this past few month by taking a course with Mr. Twenty Twenty called Manifesting Mastery. The course costs about $100 but for 90 days worth of lessons, it is well worth the price. If I knew then what I would learn in that course I probably would have paid even more. Go on over to freeneville.com and check out the blog posts and the information there. I will be adding more information as I go along, but I will not be letting the cat out of the bag - you have to purchase it. It wouldn't be fair to TT if I told you what he said, would it?

My writing may mention things I learned from TT, but my main focus will be sharing lectures by Neville Goddard and how they have impacted my life.
