Neville Revised

God gave us two gifts: the gift of imagination and the gift of speech, use them properly and the whole world is yours.

Can you get even with someone? No. There is no one to get even with. We are all one.

The need to be right is the greatest disease of mankind

Pay no attention to what anyone says or thinks about you, because it is about them. They have to say what they are saying until they don’t have to.

Your world is your frozen inner speech. God only hears your inner speech and he answers its every request. Your outer world is the answer to your inner speech.

Everyone is seeking the same thing: the infinite good. We only fight over what the infinite good is and about who is right about their picture of the infinite good.

When you cease excusing yourself or anyone for life's experiences, and begin to rearrange the structure of your mind to feel your desire is fulfilled, you are walking on water.

17 Seconds from Your True Desires!

17 Seconds From Your True Desires!
Quote by: Abraham-Hicks

"If you can hold a thought, just a simple thought, for 17 seconds, without contradicting it, another thought like it same shape, same
size, same vibration, same tone, by law of attraction another thought like it will come to it. And at precisely the 17 second point, these two thoughts will join one another, they coalesce and when they do that there is an energy that is expended, it is like a combustion point. And when these two thoughts join and combust, you can feel a measure of enthusiasm or interest bubbling within you. And in that moment of 17 seconds, these two thoughts that were same become one bigger, more evolved, faster vibrating thought.

Now, if you can stay focused on this subject that you have chosen for another 17 seconds, at the moment that you cross the 34 second mark that is just two times 17 this now more evolved thought will attract unto it and - in other words, the thoughts attract each other. Your thought draws another and the other thought draws it, thoughts that are same in nature come together. And at the 34 second mark these two more evolved thoughts do the same thing, they coalesce and there is another combustion point. At that point, these two thoughts become one, higher and faster in vibration. If you can maintain you attention to that now more evolved thought, at the 51 second mark which is just 3 times 17 there is another coalescing, another joining of thought and another combustion point. If you can hold that more evolved thought for another 17 seconds, the same thing happens and when you cross the 68 second mark, you have a combustion big enough to affect physical manifestation.
Just to get your attention we want to give you some physical comparison; 17 seconds of pure thought is equivalent to 2000 hours of action. If you are working a regular 40 hour a week job, that is about what you work in a year. 17 seconds equals 2000 action hours. If you can cross the 34 second mark, you can multiply your action by ten, 20.000 action hours. If you can cross the 51 second mark 3 times 17 you can multiply by ten again, a 200.000 action hour equivalent. If you can cross the 68 second mark - now that is just over a minute of pure con-contradicted, non-diluted thought it is equivalent to over 2 million action hours. Esther said: "Abraham, I believe you, but it sounds preposterous. I cannot fathom that kind of leverage".

And then Jerry and Esther purchased some commercial property over on the interstate, interstate 10, close to where they live in Texas. And there had been a high rise building built on that, partially constructed and the company went bankrupt and the building was demolished. And when Jerry and Esther purchased the land, it was a big pile of rubble. And the big trucks and the road graders came, and in two days time, carried this mountainous rubble of debris away. And as Esther stood watching it, she said to Jerry: "How long would that take Carlos to do?" Carlos is the lovely man who cleared their residential property with wheelbarrow and a shovel. And Jerry said: "In his lifetime, he could not make a dent in that". And Esther said: I understand THAT leverage. This is what Abraham is talking about. When you align your energies with the energies that create worlds, when you are no longer contradicting at your CORE, amazing things happen. Now 17 seconds doesn't sound like much, but as we watch you we see that most of you at about 8 begin your contradictory vibrations.

Most of you do not make it through a whole sentence without contradicting the vibration of your desire. People will say to us: "Abraham, I want more money, I am so tired of the struggle", that was about 1 second. "Abraham, I want so much to be well, I am frightened of this illness". You have been trained to be so objective that you keep shooting yourselves in the foot. It is a little bit like someone saying: "I want a cup of hot tea" and so they turn the fire on under their pot, and just before it boils they turn it off, and then they turn it on again, and just before it boils, they turn it off and then they turn it on again and then just before it boils they turn it off and then they say: "For 15 years, I have been trying to get some hot tea!" And we say: "Just leave it on, just leave it on a little longer".

If you could just resist the opposite knee jerk reaction, just a little longer, you will begin to get the sense of what we are talking about. The reason that it is difficult for you not to offer the contradictory thought so quickly, is because you have been trained to be objective, you have been trained to weigh the pros and the cons, the pluses and the minuses. You have been taught that this is balanced or even minded. And we say: You take it to an extreme, because contrast will prod you into your greater clarity of desire, that is really the reason of this physical format, we will talk about that in greater detail as it moves forward. Contrast is essential to decision, but once the decision is made, if you will turn your full attention to your decision and do your best to achieve a vibrational match with that decision in very short order, the Universe will go to work in helping you to achieve whatever it is that you are wanting.

We were talking with a woman on the telephone the other day about pure thought and she couldn't really understand what we were talking about. These are difficult concepts when you are accustomed to just thinking about whatever is flashed before you. In other words, most of you as you watch the television, it is much easier just to just observe what someone is offering to you rather than it is to close your eyes and offer your own projection of thought. And so we were wanting to assist her in holding 17 seconds of pure thought. She had three very important issues that were troubling her; financial issue and a health issue and a relationship issue. And we said to her; "Leave those issues aside for a while, because those issues you have practiced your negative thought about them so much, that as you now try to practice positive thought it is still a watered down sort of process.

We said to her: "Lets take three subjects that you do not already have a habit of negative thought about". Well, she couldn't think of any. We said: "Just three subjects, they do not have to be life changing subjects, just three subjects that are of interest, but you do not have a negative habit about". Well, she still couldn't think of anything so we said: "Lets talk about the subject of blue glass". She said: "What?!?" And we said: "Blue glass. You know, some of it is clear and you can see through it. Some of it is muted or frosted and you can't see through it. Sometimes it is made into beautiful chandeliers or beautiful windows, or beautiful vases. All kinds are made from this beautiful clear or frosted blue glass". And then we talked about feathers for 17 seconds and butterflies for 17 seconds.

And then the telephone call came to an end and Jerry and Esther were in California, they were in San Diego and so they went to La Hoya for lunch. And when they got out of the car, Jerry is walking down the street toward George's and Esther is walking into a shop and Jerry could not understand why she was taking a detour and Esther did not really understand it either, she just said: "Lets look in here". And so they went in and deep in the shop, Esther found a wall of the most amazing blue glass she had ever seen in her life. Shelf after shelf after shelf of amazing sculptures made of blue glass. Jerry did not understand why Esther was captivated by it because he had not heard the call an Esther did not make the correlation either. And they didn't buy anything, it wasn't appropriate for their house, it was just AMAZING blue glass!

They had lunch and went to the park and as they were entering the park, they were surrounded by a flurry of butterflies. Esther still did not make the correlation. And as they were leaving about 15 minutes later, a little boy, an oriental boy, looked to be about two or three years old, had found a little pigeons feather on the ground and he was holding it at his full extension of his arm running
toward Esther to show it to her. And it was not until then, that Esther realized that in less than one hour of ours spending 17 seconds together on those three subjects, that the Universe had managed to deliver in DRAMATIC FASHION all three subjects.

We encourage you to play this game AND we encourage you to play the game in threes. Because if you play it in one or two, you might be as Esther did and miss it altogether. If you will play this game just a little bit by taking subjects that are of slight interest, but most importantly, subjects that are pure because you have no contradictory thought about them the Universe will proof to you in two or three days time that it is utterly and absolutely and ALWAYS responsive to your vibration. But the reason you do not KNOW that the Universe is responsive to your vibration is because you are saying: "I want a new red car, but it is to expensive" and as the Universe is responding to both vibrations, you end up with no change what so ever. You are getting the sense of what we are talking about?

When you begin to offer your vibration purely, and you begin to see the Universe responding to it in other words, if you will just play this game for two or three days, two wonderful things will happen to you: The first is; you will show yourself you have the ability to hold your mind on something for 17 seconds. And if you can do it for the first 17, you can do it for the second and the third and the fourth. And the other thing that will happen is; you will give the opportunity to the
Universe to show you that it is utterly responsive to your vibration. You are going to learn that you really are a beaming energy that is being responded to. And it is going to give you a sense of control, it is going to give you a sense of being the deliberate creator that you really are.

Friends, that is why you are here! You are creators! But let us put that into very clear terms for you; you are creators MEANING you are focusers of ENERGY. If you do not have the ability to hold a thought, you cannot be a creator. You are not regurgitators, you did not come forth to just observe all over the place and vibrate all over the place. You came forth to direct energy! And by directing energy, you must HOLD the thought! Now, how do you know how you are doing, in other words, how do you know whether you are holding a thought or not? Well, you have to get sensitive to the way that you are feeling because you can actually feel the fluctuations of the vibrations within you. Your emotional guidance system, in other words, the way you FEEL is the way you know how you are doing!

Imagine a room fan, one of those well made, heavy, expensive, heavy duty room fans. And it is blowing air in your direction. And it is so well made that even though you can feel the stream of air blowing toward you, you can't hear it, is is barely making any sound at all. Now stick your pencil in the fan. Would cause quite a ruckus wouldn't it? Well that pencil in the fan, that is exactly what negative emotion is. When you introduce a lower, slower vibration into a higher faster vibration, you can feel the fluctuation of the energy. A pencil in the fan is an extreme example of a fluctuation of energy, but that is exactly what negative emotion is!

When you have a desire, when you have thought about something and you have brought yourself to a place of desire and then you conclude; I can't have that when you introduce that "I can't have it" thought to the higher faster frequency of desire, that disappointment or negative emotion is your pencil in the fan. It is you introducing a lower, slower vibration into a higher, faster frequency. You get the sense of what we are talking about?

As you begin to play with this have you ever noticed, have you ever known someone where as the longer you talked to them, the better you felt? It was just this friend, that when you got together, you always got feeling good. You got silly, you had fun have you ever been with anyone, usually it is when you are very young, usually about teenage years is when this all stops, you get together with that group of people and they are all in that happy vibration and you just play and play and play and play, until you just par lade into an higher and higher vibration, until you feel that there is nothing that you cannot do?

That is the feeling that we want you to reconnect with, we want you to understand that if you could just hold a thought, any thought, for 17 seconds, it is going to COMBUST and give you that energy sensation! And as you do this, as you begin to do it deliberately, and then you see the Universe responding, you become creative things, you begin to then step into the shoes that you intended when you decided to come forth! You said: " I will go forth into this sea of contrast, this blessed contrast and out of this contrast, it will be easy for me to come to a conclusion! And once I reach a conclusion, then all I have to do is hold my thought in a similar vibration to my conclusion and as I do that I will achieve a vibration outpouring that the Universe will match! I am creator, you said."

You are Enlightened Now

The peace of God is shining in me now.

Why wait for Heaven? Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all.

Light is not of the world, yet you who bear the light in you are alien here as well. The light came with you from your native home, and stayed with you because it is your own. It is the only thing you bring with you from Him Who is your Source. It shines in you because it lights your home, and leads you back to where it came from and you are at home.

This light can not be lost. Why wait to find it in the future, or believe it has been lost already, or was never there? It can so easily be looked upon that arguments which prove it is not there become ridiculous. Who can deny the presence of what he beholds in him? It is not difficult to look within, for there all vision starts. There is no sight, be it of dreams or from a truer Source, that is not but the shadow of the seen through inward vision. There perception starts, and there it ends. It has no source but this.

The peace of God is shining in you now, and from your heart extends around the world. It pauses to caress each living thing, and leaves a blessing with it that remains forever and forever. What it gives must be eternal. It removes all thoughts of the ephemeral and valueless. It brings renewal to all tired hearts, and lights all vision as it passes by. All of its gifts are given everyone, and everyone unites in giving thanks to you who give, and you who have received.

The shining in your mind reminds the world of what it has forgotten, and the world restores the memory to you as well. From you salvation radiates with gifts beyond all measure, given and returned. To you, the giver of the gift, does God Himself give thanks. And in His blessing does the light in you shine brighter, adding to the gifts you have to offer to the world.

The peace of God can never be contained. Who recognizes it within himself must give it. And the means for giving it are in his understanding. He forgives because he recognized the truth in him. The peace of God is shining in you now, and in all living things. 6 In quietness is it acknowledged universally. For what your inward vision looks upon is your perception of the universe.

Sit quietly and close your eyes. The light within you is sufficient. It alone has power to give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer world, and let your thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the way. For honest thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly things outside yourself, become the holy messengers of God Himself.

These thoughts you think with Him. They recognize their home. And they point surely to their Source, Where God the Father and the Son are One. God's peace is shining on them, but they must remain with you as well, for they were born within your mind, as yours was born in God's. They lead you back to peace, from where they came but to remind you how you must return.

They heed your Father's Voice when you refuse to listen. And they urge you gently to accept His Word for what you are, instead of fantasies and shadows. They remind you that you are the co-creator of all things that live. For as the peace of God is shining in you, it must shine on them.

Inquiry for Couples

I am suggesting that all of my couples in therapy read this article together, alternating reading one sentence by the husband and the next by the wife. No comments should be allowed until the entire article is finished. After one or two readings of the entire article, a lot of light will begin to shine in your consciousness. If you get stumped, that’s okay. Keep asking for more understanding. Let me know how it goes. Kindly, Dr. Wright




If You Didn't Get it, Why not?

The big question regarding your last life crisis is: Did you get it? Why not?

The important question for your last therapy attempt to deal with anxiety is: Did you get it? Why not?

If all you got was relief from the last time you unsuccessfully manipulated something or someone, then you didn't get it.

If all you did was recover from the consequences of the last time you didn't get it, you didn't get it.

If you are still recurrently anxious, sick or depressed, you didn't get it

If you got your way, you didn't get it.

If your survival strategy worked, you didn't get it

If you won the power struggle, you didn't get it

If you are settling for less, you don't get it

If you felt you were the most clever, you didn't get it

If you just made some kind of New Year's resolutions, you didn't get it

If you are just trying harder, you didn't get it

If you are still after approval and appreciation, you didn't get it

If life is still going up and down, you didn't get it

If you still think marriage or divorce will fix it, you didn't get it

If you are still looking for the man or woman of your dreams, you didn't get it

If you think a better job is going to do it for you, you didn't get it

If all you did was confess your crime and serve your sentence, you didn't get it

If all you did was prove you're right, you didn't get it

If all you did was win the lottery, you didn't get it

If all you did was score, you didn't get it

If all you won was a gold medal at some Olympic contest, you didn't get it, only a symbol of it.

If you are up or down because your team or political party won or lost, you didn't get it

If you don't 100% love reality yet, you don't get it

If you are still championing some religious, political or soap box cause, you haven't gotten it

If you still have an axe to grind, you didn't get it

If you are not actively investigating your thinking, you won't get it

If you think you know how things should be, you haven't gotten it yet

If you are trying to deny, prevent or avoid the recurrence of something painful in your life, you won't get it

If you think there is something to resist or conquer, you won't get it

If you are still waiting for your luck to change, you won't get it

If you think your past or future holds the` key to success or failure, you won't get it

If all you did was get out of the dog house after your last fight, you didn't get it.

If you really think circumstance have power over you, you don't get it

If you think something or someone is making you a victim, you didn't get it

If you didn't get it, its not because of stupidity, but of ignorance

If you didn't get it, it is because you think you are merely human

If you think you can cure anxiety with pills or distraction, you won't get it

If you think anxiety is a problem or a coincidence, you won't get it

If you didn't get it, it is just because you think you don't have time or the intelligence to try to understand why. you didn't get it

If you think something else is more important than getting it, you won't get it.

If you are mad at me for saying you didn't get it, that is a sure sign you don't get it

If you haven't gotten it, it is because you don't know where it is

If you didn't get it, it is because you blamed the world and God for your sense of lack

If you didn't get it, it is because it went by too fast to see it

If you didn't get it, it is because you thought you didn't have it and you have to chase after it.

If you didn't get it, it isn't too late, everyone has to get it sooner or later

If you don't know what It is yet, maybe it's time to find out.

If you want it bad enough to ask, I will join you in making sure you get it

What will it cost you to get it? Your habitual way of thinking

What will it pay you? Everything you ever wanted

If you didn't get it yet, you will!
You may be wondering why the same old patterns keep repeating like a broken record, and why you didn't get it yet. You may be tired of the same old boring excuses and reactions. If you didn't get it the first time or the fifty-first time, , there is still another chance to get it.

Listen to the way Rumi puts it:

COME, whoever you are
COME, wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving
COME, this is not a caravan of despair
COME, it doesn't matter if you've broken your vows a thousand times
Still, COME
And yet again, COME!
Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes around in another form. The child weaned from its mother's mild now drinks wine and honey mixed. God's joy[2] moves from unmarked box to unmarked box, from cell to cell. As rainwater, it goes down into the flowerbed. As roses, it comes up from the ground. Now it looks like a plate of rice and fish, now a cliff covered with vines, now a horse being saddled. It hides within these, till one day it cracks them open.
Rumi

Or, Isaiah:

"Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters. And you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk. Without money and without cost. Why do you want to spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourself in abundance. Incline your ear and come to me. Listen, that you may live."

Its Ok if you didn't get it yet, we are all involved in the process of getting it, either unconsciously or consciously.

If you think you are unhappy because you haven't felt totally accepted, loved or appreciated, you just didn't get it yet.

If you don't already have it somewhere, how could you possibly get it?

If you think you've got it, you haven't

Forgetting (discounting) your dreams didn't help you to get it

If you still think that any experience in your life doesn't have a beneficial purpose and cause, you still don't get it

If you haven't found the meaning and purpose of your last crisis (large or small), you may not be aware there is anything to get

If you think there is anything you can satisfactorily control besides your thinking, you haven't got it yet.

If you are still justifying your behavior and defending your beliefs, you don't get it.

If you are still telling yourself the story that you are alone, lacking or trapped, you didn't get it

If you continue to think that you can get the results you want without questioning your story, you won't get it

If you think that God is out there somewhere, you aren't here either

If you didn't get it yet, are you ready to ask?

If you still think that money, sex, being right or consuming some substance will substitute for IT, you are kidding yourself

If you think dieting, exercise or physical exercise will do it, good luck!

If you think suicide or homicide will erase the pain of not getting it, you in for a surprise

If you think that accusing or punishing others for not giving you what you want will get it for you, you don't get it

If you think that trying to rescue people will save you from the pain of not knowing the truth about yourself, you haven't got it.

If you think you know yourself already, you don't get it

If you think that changing your body's conditions will be sufficient, you don't get it yet

If you think that changing the world is possible, you are wasting your time

If you think will power will get it, why hasn't it worked so far?

Where is the door to the lost treasure, the Holy Grail, the fountain of youth, the Shangri la, the kingdom of heaven, your peace of mind? Until you ask about that, you are not even close to getting it.

If you wondered whether you got it, you didn't

If you think getting it is anything besides a process of awakening, you didn't get it.

Getting it occurs when it gets you

If you thought you didn't get it yet, maybe that proves there is something to get

If you are not curious enough yet about the real cause of your anxiety and suffering, you're not ready to get it

Everyone is here to get it, but the secret to getting it is hidden underneath all of the secrets that didn't get it.

Getting it is realizing that everything you see, hear and believe is your story, including the world itself.

Unless you constantly and thoroughly question and investigate your story about reality and about yourself, you will never get it.

If and until you realize you are 99% brainwashed, you won't get it

Nothing is as it seems, do you get it?

Can you get it if you didn't do some particular crime or wrong that you were accused of and are being punished for? And suppose you are punishing someone else for a wrong they did or didn't do, can you still get it?

If you think the past is a closed book and can't be changed, you didn't get it yet.

If you think you lost everything, you didn't get it yet

If you think disappointment is the final word, you didn't get it yet

If you think aging, suffering, sickness, taxes or death is the final word, you didn't get it yet

If you wonder whether the good guys or the bad guys will win in the end, you didn't get it yet

If you are waiting on Armageddon or the rapture, you didn't get it yet

If you are waiting on your good, you didn't get it yet

If you think the body is sick, you didn't get it yet

If you think you can change someone else, you didn't get it yet

If you think you can hurt someone else or that someone else can hurt you, you didn't get it yet.

If you think someone can control you, you didn't get it yet

If you think fear or its consequences are real, you don't get it yet

If you think it is not okay not to get it, then you don't get it

If you think I am being evasive or secretive about getting it, then you don't get it

If you are still studying and scheming about how to make your usual strategy work, you don't get it.

If you want to get it, you had better study why your strategy isn't working rather that studying why it should be working.

The reason your strategy isn't working is because it isn't the truth, do you get it?

When you notice that your strategy doesn't work over 50% of the time, and it doesn't, why don't you get it?

If you don't understand why Plato said "Know thyself" you didn't get it

If you think the Christ is irrelevant to getting it, you don't get it

If you avoid yourself because you think you know yourself, you aren’t getting it

If you are still ignoring the real cause of your anger, grief, depression, anxiety jealousy or boredom, you don't get it

If you think victimizing others is going to un-victimize you, you didn't get it

If you think rescuing others is going to un-victimize you, you don’t get it

If you still think anything can substitute for self-knowledge, you didn't get it

If you think ignorance of the facts is bliss, you didn't get it

I am never upset (mad, frustrated, bored, depressed, argumentative, impulsive, acting out, judgmental, manipulative, or defensive) for the reason I think. Do you get that?

If you think you are superior or inferior, then you didn't get it.

If you think building up your self-esteem will get it, you don't get it

If you don't ask for much, you don't get much, get it?

If you think that there is anything else as important in life as getting it, you don't get it.

You don’t get it because you don’t think you have it, do you get it?

Switch to Ethanol Now

Read this interesting transcript about how the U.S. (like Brazil) can switch now to ethanol, free ourselves from oil and the war machine, address world hunger and use our troops to bring peace to the world.
