Neville Goddard Rearrange The Mind

you should find tonight a very practical night something that you can pest take it home tonight and prove it you'll take it from

scripture but something first I think with which you all familiar if you took a piece of Steel that's magnetized it does not

differ in substance from the demagnetized piece of Steel only in its arrangement of its

molecules the rich man the poor man the beggar man the thief are not different minds but simply different Arrangements

of the same mind there is only God in this world so when you say I am and I say I

am it's the same God but we have arranged the structure of our mind differently we have different concepts

of self and that's all but not one is better because he is richer than the one who is poor these are only different

Arrangements of the structure structure of the mind now scripture tells us and I'm quoting now the Book of James the Epistle of

James James is really a letter of Jacob the word James and Jacob are

identical in Hebrew Greek and in the Arabic t the same

word so when they begin James a servant of God and the Lord

Jesus Christ to the 12 tribes in the dispersion you can see at once is simply a Christian

revision of this Jewish letter it's the letter of Jacob and if you read really it carefully only

twice do the insert say Jesus Christ Our Lord all the others the 11 other times it is simply

God the Lord is God not Christ so here it is really the servant of the Lord

speaking and he's giving us some fantastic instruction and very practical instruction now listen to it carefully I'm now going to quote from the very first chapter of

the Book of James be doers of the word and not hearers

only for he who is a hearer and not a doer is like a man who observes his natural face in a

mirror then goes his way and at once for get what he is like but he who looks into the perfect

law the law of Liberty and perseverance he will be blessed in his doing now how do I look into the law the

perfect law which sets me free the law of Liberty I look into my mind I'm now

imprisoned I've have heard the sentence I know exactly how long I'm supposed to serve now I look into the law of Liberty

in my mind and I assume that I am free I'm set free how I am not concerned who brought it about I am not

concerned I simply look into the person perect law the law of Liberty and I dare to assume that I am free if I dare to assume that I am free

I rearranged the structure of my mind the same mind that heard the sentence that I accept it when I heard it now I

do not accept it I look into the perfect law the law of Liberty and if as I'm told in scripture

I persevere then I will actually receive that which I am

doing I must not forget what I have done and sleep this night as though I am in prison for if I am now set free where would I

sleep let me know exactly where would I sleep while dare to assume that I am sleeping there now if I sleep in the assumption

that I am free I am not in jail even though the bars are there I don't see them close my eyes against

them as Blake tells us men's perceptions are not bounded by organs of

perception he perceives more than sense so ever acute can discover and so so reason or the ratio

of all that we already know is not the same that it shall be when we know more if I take this tonight and test it

and it proves itself in the testing but then I have added to my knowledge and so I know more than before

I tested it and so when I find my myself up against something that seems beyond solution I have found

something that can solve it all I have to do is to rearrange the structure of my mind so I dare to assume that I am the

man that I would be and sleep as though I am that's the rearrangement of that structure of the mind I am the same being I'm never

I know exactly those that I knew before but now I know them differently I know them now as a Freed Man but I must not be a hearer of what I

heard in scripture I must be a doer I must do it so be not a doer only be a doer in

the full sense of the word so that I actually I'll do it and persist the word is persevere in Scripture

the first chapter the 22nd to the 25th verses of the Epistle of James so I will simply do it and though tomorrow I am confronted with the

obvious Facts of Life that I'm still in prison is still doesn't matter I did it I am doing it and I will continue to do it until that which I

have done is perfectly externalized within my world I am telling you this from experience I know

it if you go to jail and you say five to 10 years all right you know five years and maybe you get off in six for good

behavior but when you are drafted into the army there is no date that you are promised where they let you out you in for the

duration well I was drafted into the army with $17 million well I didn't ask the permission

of anyone I only cons consulted myself I looked around I knew what the world knew it was something that had to be

done but I must be honest with myself I didn't want any part of it but no part of it others would tell me is that the act of a coward I didn't care

what they say is that being a good citizen I didn't care what they say as I just said

earlier what we now know which is called reason it's a reasonable thing to do we are at War and we're all Americans and we should go in there because our

country has declared war go in there and fight and so reason tells us that should be done I was drafted I did not oppose it they

drafted me took me down to camp for Louisiana for my base training and while I was there I didn't want any part of

it and I dared to assume that I am out of it and made my normal natural application as you have to do in the world of

Caesar within 24 hours it came back and it was simply rejected it was signed disapproved and signed by my Colonel a

very nice gentleman his name was Colonel Theodore Bilbo Jr his father was Senator of

Mississippi I said nothing my captain said for your sake got it I am very very sorry I know exactly how you feel you want to be with your wife and your little girl

your son is in gu canal with the Marines and you are now almost 38 and so I know but I would like to go through this war with a man just like

you at my side so I can't say that I am sorry for myself I'm sorry only for you I didn't say one word to him to the colonel I didn't oppose it that was the

decision of Caesar now I looked into the perfect law the law of

Liberty and I persevered in that law and I slept that night as though I slept in my own home in New York City on

Washington Square where I lived on the seventh floor I lived in that floor and it was a very large

apartment two bedrooms a lovely big living room a dining room a hug hug kitchen and the

Foy and I slept in that place just as though I were there not in the Army I fell asleep in that state having done all the normal things that would make me

feel this Arrangement is perfect I rearranged the structure of my mind instead of seeing 25 men around me sleeping upstairs and knowing the 25

Down Below in the next area I slept in my own bed bed with my wife in her bed and my little girl in her crib in the

corner I felt everything in that place just as though it's taking place and I rearranged the structure of my mind and

fell sound as sleep in that s at 4:00 in the morning here comes a sheet of paper before my

eyes and a hand from here down with a pain in its hand and the pain scratched out the word disapproved and it wrote in in a bold

script approved and then I heard the word that which I have

done I have done do nothing and then I woke it was too early to disturb the 25 other fellas sleeping

there but I waited until the very first moment that I could leave that room when down to the latrine and shaved and bathed early and came up filled with the

glow that the whole thing was done all I walked in that assumption for the next N9 days nine days later the same Colonel

that disapproved my request called me in he said close the door got it so I Clos the door he said take a seat Well I never asked me to take a seat in his

presence before I was a private he you always stood in his presence he said take a seat and then he gave me all the reasons in the world why I should still be in the

Army said you still want to get out I said yes sir give me another reason you still want to get out said yes sir another one when he exhausted all the reasons why I

should be in the Army and I'm still saying yes sir said all right bring me another application have your captain

sign it which I did that day I was honorably discharged and out of the

army I didn't run away I was honorably discharged when Vision breaks forth into speech the presence of

dating is there and who can oppose God to that which I have done I have done do nothing so he thought he initiated the

urge to let me go free I looked into the perfect law the law of Liberty and I persevered in that law and he played his

part for I rearranged the structure of my mind I was convinced I wanted out and I didn't ask anyone's permission I did not

discuss it with one as said why I should want out when 17 million men are being drafted Plus numberless girls to make a tremendous effort

against this monstrous thing that was in Europe I still wanted out I did not take anyone into my

confidence as to why I wanted out I had my 13 weeks basic training and then when I came out they

gave me my Cent papers and became I could have been back in 1922 I could have been an American but I just didn't have the time or the urge to

get around to it to become a citizen so I drifted on and drifted on and drifted on and finally after this little episode that's why I went into the

army for I would still be drifting through and being a citizen of Britain but now I am an American by adoption and

they gave it to me because I did fulfill a 13- we training course in the Amer ameran Army so I tell you I know from

experience how true this statement in James is read it carefully the doers of

the word are not hearers only deceiving yourself for he who is a hearer of the

word and not a doer he is like one who looks into who looks into the mirror and sees his natural face and then he goes

away and at once forgets what he looks like but he who is a doer he looks into the perfect law the

law of Liberty and perseveres and when he does that he is blessed in his doing that is acting

making the thing become alive within you now he tells us in the same chapter faith without works is

dead as the body apart from the spirit is dead so faith without works is dead he is not

proposing that I substitute works for Faith Works are the evidence whether the faith I profess

is alive or dead I say I believe the story of scripture well then if you believe it then do

it said whatever you desire believe you have received and you shall well if I really believe that I can say I Believe

by quoting the Apostles Creed that's not belief going to church and genu reflecting before some man-made little cross that's not

scripture do you really believe the doctrines the teachings of scripture not the traditions of men not the rituals not the alter ceremonies but the

teachings of scripture when you pray believe that you have received and you will and all things are possible to him

who believes but do I believe that well then believe it if I really believe I am out of the army what and where would I

be well I would be at home in my place a thousand miles away on Washington Square if I look through the window I will see the Holly Apartments if I look to the

left I will see Washington Square if I look to the right I will see six Avenue it's now called The Avenue of the Americas but V and still is to me raised

as I was there it's still 6th Avenue to me and there I would look at 6th Avenue well I did that that night I saw 6th Avenue I saw Washington Square and then

I went through the entire apartment and touch these objects with my imaginary hands now was that

rational the world will say that was the most irrational thing that one can do now what is

reason the office of reason is simply to extract well conclusions from

premises must my premises always be based upon the evidence of my senses must they always dictate what is

rational to me well having done this and proven it to be a fact reason doesn't mean to me what it means to the

world for there would sleep in the Army and I wrote A friend of mine who was a Fudan and he practiced s in New York

City he was drafted he was an Englishman too and he was drafted and he was off in Florida a man my age and so when I got out knowing

exactly what I did I wrote him a detailed letter telling him what I did and how to do it no he was a flaan and

that was something that didn't make sense to him to him the whole thing was centered in sex not in this use of the imagination

so all line he didn't answer my letter I got out in 1943 in the spring in the month of April

or was it March March or April of 1943 they drafted me November the 19th 1942 and I got out in March

1943 when the war was over and all the other followers were being being discharged he was discharged and he said to me afterwards you know

Neville I love to come to your lectures and to hear you because it's interesting it's fairy you turn my daily braid into the substance of fairy but while I

listen to you you know what I do I put my feet right down into the carpet and I hold on to the sides of the chair to keep my sense of the reality and the

profundity of things but he kept on holding his little cop in the Army for another 3 years because he couldn't let

go and put himself where he wanted to be so I am telling you how it's done I am telling you how it's done from my own

experience that my perceptions are not necessarily bounded by organs of perception I perceive

more than say no matter how acute they are could discover my senses couldn't discover what I am seeing only in my imagination could it be done I'm seeing

the Holly Apartments I am seeing Sixth Avenue I am seeing Union Square I am seeing the bit

my wife my child I hadn't seen them in 3 months what they all there I didn't bring sex into it no I didn't go to bed with her there

she was the girl I love she was in her own bed and I in my own bed we have Twi beds and my little girl was then just over a year she's born not quite a year

she's born in June of 1942 and this was not yet June of 1943 so she was not yet a year old here's my sweet little child Vicki in her

bed and I walked through the entire thing and touched all the objects and felt them so normally and so natural came back to my bed and slept in it if

anyone was sensitive in that room that would see me sleeping there I was so natural to myself that have see me actually sleeping there and then the

next day he had a change of mind but he couldn't act upon it he was resisting that change but that which I have done I

have done do nothing so he resisted it for N9 days then he called me in and told me to bring a new application which I did and that day I was

out so I tell you how it works this is the most practical law in the world he looks into the perfect law

the law of Liberty well doesn't that liberate you if you look into the law of Liberty then what are you now the man the woman you really want to be but then

you're are in prison though you're not behind bars you are in prison by your present concept you're not behind bars you're going to go home tonight and sleep as

the woman as the man you really don't want to be so you are in prison now looking to the perfect law the law of

Liberty and persevere do not only be a hearer of what to do do it and you will be blessed in the doing

that's what scripture teaches go home and read it I am not misquoting I am quoting accurately from the Epistle of James in the New

Testament and this is the story that I'm trying to tell everyone in the world he said I am not in prison no you're not in prison not physically but you are in

prison you may today need money and you say Offa I'm still not like the fellows who are behind in the sing sing all right you're not behind jail doors but

you are still behind behind in rent behind in this and the Dunning notes from all the places where you charge you are behind bars you can't seem to find the

necessary sum to pay them all right look into the perfect law of Liberty that's the perfect law well how do I do it rearrange the structure of your

mind the demagnetized piece of Steel does not differ in substance from the magnetize only the arrangement of its molecules and then one lifts up enormous

weights when it's completely one pointed when all these molecules face One Direction it's a Powerhouse the other is CED so let not the double-minded man

thinks that he will in any way receive from the Lord goo the same first chapter if the double-minded man comes

who is unstable in all his ways that he not think he will receive anything from the Lord what can you give a man who doesn't know what he wants I've gone into a restaurant just

to approve this principle sat down said to the waiter what would you like for a tip and he's embarrassed I said to my friend I'll give him what he wants within reason I'm

not going to give him any $100 bill but I'll give him if you s me a $5 bill and didn't order that which warranted a $5 bill and he was embarrassed embarrassed embarrassed and all he expected was

exactly what he got he just didn't know he had no concept of putting something of course he didn't know it so how could he put it to the

test so I am telling you you rearrange the structure of your mind that's all you do it doesn't differ from Einstein's mind there's only one mind there's only

one God there's only one Lord listen to it one one body one Spirit one hope one

Lord One Faith one baptism one God and Father of us all who is above all through all and in all if he's in you

that's the same one with the one body the one spirit so I'm not using a different mind it's the same mind but differently arranged go into one room and you see

that someone doesn't know what to do with their f you bring someone in who knows how to set a room come back and hour later after

she's through with it and you will think you're in entirely different home my wife used to pull that on me all the time i' come home and think I've stopped

into the I just stepped into the entirely strange apartment and wonder if I'm really at home and she was hiding some other place she completely rearranged the structure of the

furniture it looked like an entirely different ho but she had that sense how to do it and so she did

it so with what you have all you need is exactly what you have for you have the mind of God it's not a different mind the same mind and you simply rearrange

the Mind by a mere assumption what would the feeling be like would it true that I am now the man that I want to be now the woman that I want to be but

you're it's at it but persevere you must persevere in it if I call you now and you answer one thing well will you respond an hour later to

the same call then if you persevere you will if now an hour later you think of yourself as you now when you dare to assume that you are now the man that you

want to be an hour later are you still assuming that state if you're not you're not persevering you are the hearer who looked into the

mirror with his natural face he saw it then he went his way and at once forgot what he looked like so if one hour from now you're not still assuming that you are the man that

you want to be you forgotten you are the hearer and not the doer and he warns us of the vast difference between being a hearer and

being a doer the doer acts God only Acts and is in existing beings or

men so bear in mind that your wonderful world is not bounded by your senses you perceive far far more than your sense no

matter how aute it is could discover your senses can't discover but now you're capable of assuming that you are

your senses dictate what reason will allow and your reason your SES are bound together go beyond it for what you now

know from experience what you know from the past will not be what you will know when you know more than you now know but having done it and proven it I know more

than I did when I was bunged by my senses when I couldn't get out of a certain Island on time to meet a commitment in Walky I knew what I did in the Army I simply applied The Identical

thing and I got out when there was a long long waiting list thousands waiting for all the islands and only two little ships not big ships

two small little ships one carrying not more than 60 y passengers and one carrying at 120 and thousand waiting and they only came once a month into the

island one every 32 days and one every 3 and 1/2 Weeks how long would it take to get them all

out I didn't ask anyone a favor didn't ask my brother who was a powerful businessman in the island he criticized me for not arranging passage back to

America when I left America that's the place where you should have done it that's the PowerHouse of the world New York City that's where all these things are done and you dare to leave New York

City when you could arrange a round trip and you come here on a oneway ticket well I didn't ask any favors of him or any favors of any any member of

the family I simply did exactly what I did in the Army and in 24 hours I was called by the aloh company and given my

passage over thousands who were waiting this is my concern why she did it or why someone else didn't get it in

preference to M my name is at the very bottom I wasn't at the top I'm at the bottom of the list it isn't my concern

I looked into the perfect law the law of Liberty and I persevered I sat in a chair in my hotel room and there I sat

in the chair and ass soon I am next to the boat I'm climbing up the Gangplank that's before we had a deep water Harbor so you had to go off to see about maybe

a half mile or a mile to see on a little tender and then take the gang Plank and go up to the ship so I felt myself bobbing as you would on the ocean and

then moving up the gang plan I could smell the rawness of the sea got up to the Top If my mind wanted I brought it back down again and did it all over again did want it brought it back down

again kept on doing it over and over until finally I did it I fell Su asleep sitting in the chair in the act of

doing next day Alor calls me and gives me my passage for my wife and my little girl so I'm telling you from experience

it doesn't fail but we must not simply be hearers of the word we must be doers of the word for if you are a hearer and not a doer you deceive yourself he tells

you for we are the operant power this law doesn't operate itself it doesn't care if you're good bad or indifferent look around the world who would think

that tonight some some one serving life sentence in our jail is the same mind that sits in the White

House who would think the one who sits now in the Vatican that mind of the pope is the same mind of the one who is

groeling on his belly trying to kiss his hand so on Sunday there'll be Palm Sunday and they'll do all these things

on Palm Sunday the holy Palms and then comes Friday then comes Sunday and all this will go on and have all the

show fabulous show and he who is been born on the backs of strong strapping men does not differ from those who are

his slaves bearing him the same mind but they have rearranged their mind to be slaves and he has arranged his mind to

be the father to be Papa the great Pope same mind there is only one mind in the world there aren't two minds that's why I can tell you I know

that when he stands before you he will know you as his father and you will know him as your son

and because I know him as my son are we not one mind are we not one being when the same being who called me father will one day

call you father are we not the same father the same mind The Same Spirit the same body without loss of

identity so I'm telling you tonight try it try it every moment of time you know tonight what you want to be I don't care what you want to be it's simply a

rearrangement of the mind and you rearrange the mind not through any study and any uh so effort it's simply a mere

assumption what do I want to be get it clear in my mind's eye well then assume that I am

it listen to the words in the Book of Joel let the weak man say I am

strong let the weak man say I am strong that's in the Book of Joel Jehovah God that's what the word

would mean Joel you're called upon when you are dumb to assume that you're are exactly what you want to be not D because you don't want to be that you want to be as

free as the wind well assume that you are may I tell you in a way that no one knows you'll become it but you must

persevere and the word perseverance is true if I don't believe it well then one second later I've turned back to my

normer State and become once more Lot's wife the pillar of salt salt is a preservative in the old days the only way to preserve something is to Salt

it not so long ago when I was a little boy we caught fish and enormous quantity of fish because we didn't have these enormous feets catching our fish so we

had fish to burn literally burn if they didn't get them get in before say 3:00 in the afternoon what did they have they could either put it

onto the dung Heap and make Dum out of it or clean it up and salt it so they cleaned it up and salted it it would keep indefinitely for we had no

Refrigeration so you salted the fish and we could have salt flying fish if you wanted it that way but fish that

were not consumed by Sundown was discarded use it for bait the next day or use it in the Dunkey fertilize the fields with

it so salt is a preservative so when Lot's wife was turned to Salt she turned back and went back to her former State and that is all that it means you look

back and became a pillar of salt you turned back to the state you said you leave behind you and looking back you were salted you are preserved in it so

turn away from what you really want to be turn back you're going to be saled in it so I ask you to leave what you are unless you like what you

are the portions of what you are today that you like all right wonderful there are other portions that you do not like well you don't have to give up everything in your living room and you

rearrange the structure of it certain pieces that you'll keep you may change this location but you'll keep it the same thing is true with the structure of the mind you keep certain things and you

let other things go take PR in your world who are not doing well rearrange them in your mind's eye and they're doing well so put that part of the structure in your mind's eye rearrange

the entire structure and dare to assume that it's true and walk in that assumption and that assumption though at the moment is denied by reason and

denied by your senses if you persevere in it it will harden in fact this is the law of scripture that I

came not to abolish but to fulfill the Jewish law and the Jewish prophets for there was no other

scripture in the first century but the Jewish scriptures so the word Jew is not placed before it to qualify it but the only scripture that he knew he came to

fulfill the Jewish law he reinterpreted the law psychologically and show them exactly how it's done so go out and do not abolish

anything simply fulfill it fulfill the law and fulfill the prophets the prophets when they're fulfilled that's done by share Grace that comes that

comes by promise and no one's going to stop it may I tell you but you could go on living in a state that you do not wish

in this world but in spite of that you will still receive the promise because it isn't given to the one who is Rich and deny the one who is poor but why

remain poor and bat your head out morning noon and night against the inevitable blows in this world I hope you do not wish money for

the sake of money but if you need money well then apply this law what would the feeling be like if it were true that I was now free of this

pressure free of it dare to assume that you are and then persist in that that assumption and that assumption will

harden into reality so this is my lesson tonight I think you found it a very practical one

but I must remind you you can either be the hearer of what you heard tonight and not the doer it is my hope that you will be the doer of what you heard tonight that when you leave here you leave here

in the Assumption not wait until you get home leave here in the assumption that you are already the man the woman that you want to be and then between here and home think of the man

that you have assumed that you are and that that assumption spring in your mind constantly you are that man go to bed in that assumption maybe this night as it

did with me in the Army something will come and a voice will speak and when Vision breaks forth into speech the presence of Dy is assured and maybe you

will have confirmation that what you have dared to assume is I know in my case it came that

way but it will come whether it breaks both into speech or not if you persist in the assumption
