Feeling is the Secret

Product Information

On the other hand, the undisciplined man finds it difficult to believe that which is denied by the senses and usually accepts or rejects solely on appearances of the senses. Because of this tendency to rely on the evidence of the senses, it is necessary to shut them out before starting to pray, before attempting to feel that which they deny. Whenever you are in the state of mind "I should like to, but I cannot", the harder you try, the less you are able to yield to the wish. You never attract that which you want, but always attract that which you are conscious of being. It is impossible for you to see other than the contents of your consciousness. Your world in its every detail is your consciousness objectified. Objective states bear witness of subconscious impressions. A change of impression results in a change of expression. The feeling which comes in response to the question ‘How would I feel were my wish realized?’ is the feeling which should monopolize and immobilize your attention as you relax into sleep.” Therefore, the man who does not control his feeling may easily impress the subconscious with undesirable states. By control of feeling is not meant restraint or suppression of your feeling, but rather the disciplining of self to imagine and entertain only such feeling as contributes to your happiness. Because of your belief in external things you think power into them by transferring the power that you are to the external thing. Realize you yourself are the power you have mistakenly given to outer conditions.”

That which you feel yourself to be, you are; and you are given that which you are. So assume the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of your wish, and your wish must be realized. A good book I usually wouldn’t rate a book so high when it has so much religious content. However, it put the religious content to relate to the subconscious. I really enjoyed the book. I like this quote because I’ve said it before ever reading this book so it’s funny to me that I’ve now read it: “All objective states were first invisible states and you called them into visibility by assuming the feeling of reality.”

To make sleep work for you, ask yourself the following question before sleeping: “How would I feel if my wish were fulfilled? Build up the feeling inside you and concentrate on it while you relax into sleep. The subconscious transcends reason and is independent of induction. It contemplates a feeling as a fact existing within itself and on this assumption proceeds to give expression to it. The creative process begins with an idea and its cycle runs its course as a feeling and ends in a volition to act. By feeling your wish fulfilled and quietly relaxing into sleep, you cast yourself in a star role to be played on earth tomorrow, and, while asleep, you are rehearsed and instructed in your part. Then you can relax and remain unmoved no matter what happened around you, even when the thing get worse, you are still confident on the result is yours.

Denying the evidence of the senses and appropriating the feeling of the wish fulfilled is the way to the realization of your desire.This is Neville’s most popular book; it contains only the working and method of usage of the Law, with no written instances of its application (I've included some of my own examples to better help you understand). If you want to get to the pith of his teachings, this is the book I always recommend. Never entertain an undesirable feeling, nor think sympathetically about wrong in any shape or form. Do not dwell on the imperfection of yourself or others. To do so is to impress the subconscious with these limitations. What you do not want done unto you, do not feel that it is done unto you or another. This is the whole law of a full and happy life. Everything else is commentary. Your subconscious, whose natural state is sleep, sees you as you believe yourself to be; and whether it be good, bad or indifferent, the subconscious will faithfully embody your belief. Therefore it is crucial to let go of feelings that do not contribute to our happiness as emotions are the cause of our life circumstances.

The task of our conscious is to create ideas and conceptions. Our subconscious is responsible for the realization of these wishes. It does not change ideas; it only gives them form. Only the subconscious knows how this happens. It is neither bound to rationality nor reason. The medium of communication between conscious and subconscious is our feelings. Also, the book’s statements follow the principles I described in “ Why Manifesting Never Worked for You”.Your conscious — your views, beliefs, and opinions — always precede the objective reality. Therefore do not limit yourself to your past. Nothing is impossible for consciousness. Therefore, imagine conditions beyond what you are used to. Whatever you can imagine can be realized. Realization of your wish is accomplished by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled. You cannot fail unless you fail to convince yourself of the reality of your wish. A change of belief is confirmed by a change of expression. Your conception of yourself as you fall asleep is the seed you drop into the ground of the subconscious. Dropping off to sleep feeling satisfied and happy compels conditions and events to appear in your world which confirm these attitudes of mind. Over a week ago I vowed to live by my imagination alone, to 'watch my feelings', and to focus on finding the Beloved within. Little bursts of bliss and increasing manifestations resulted from this every day. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matt 6:33). The corner stone should be laid down first, and consciousness is the one and only reality. You believe God also believe in Me. When you truly understand that you are Father, You are Jesus. You will have the faith that all your desires are already realized, all things are yours. Since creation is finished, there is nothing you need to do. The only thing demands you to do is to believe all things are yours to take.

It is in sleep and in prayer, a state akin to sleep, that man enters the subconscious to make his impressions and receive his instructions. In these states the conscious and subconscious are creatively joined. The male and female become one flesh. Sleep is the time when the male or conscious mind turns from the world of sense to seek its lover or subconscious self. Never think about the 'how' aspect of your desire manifesting, but only that it has been manifested already;Close your eyes so that you become sleepy. Eventually, you will obtain a feeling of lassitude and lose your desire to move. Find a quiet place so that you can be alone. Relax your mind, according to the state that occurs before you go to sleep and pray. The conditions and events of your life are your children formed from the molds of your subconscious impressions in sleep. They are made in the image and likeness of your innermost feeling that they may reveal you to yourself. I am healthy is a stronger feeling than I will be healthy… What you feel you are always dominates what you feel you would like to be; therefore, to be realized, the wish must be felt as a state that is rather than a state that is not.“
