our imaginal activities and watch to see whether or
not they produce corresponding external effects. If
they do, then we must conclude that there is no
fiction. Today’s imaginal drama - fiction - becomes
tomorrow’s fact.
Nothing is so fatal as conformity. We must not allow
ourselves to be girt about by the ringed fixity of fact.
Change the image, and thereby change the fact.

Neville Goddard free us from the sense fixation of outer things which
Fiction becomes fact completely dominates our ordinary existence and
keeps us looking on the reflective glass of facts.
Self-abandonment. That is the secret. We have to
abandon ourselves to the state, in our love for the
state, and in so doing live the life of the state and no
more our present state. Imagination seizes upon the
life of the state and gives itself to the expression of
the life of that state.

Unless the individual imagines himself, someone else,
or somewhere else, the present conditions and
circumstances of his life will continue in being and his
problems recur, for all events renew themselves from
his constant images. By him they were made; by him
they continue in being; and by him they can cease to
be.

Satan, Blake writes, is a “Reactor”. He never acts; he
only reacts. And if our attitude to the happenings of
the day is “reactionary”, are we not playing Satan’s
part?
Man is only reacting in his natural or Satan state; he
never acts or creates, he only reacts or recreates.
One real creative moment, one real feeling of the
wish fulfilled, is worth more than the whole natural
life of reaction.
