Guest guest Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 FW: [justchannelings] [Neville Quotes] YOU CAN REVISE IT, AND CHANGE ITYOU CAN REVISE IT, AND CHANGE IT, EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE CONFRONTED WITH A SEEMINGLY INSOLUBLE PROBLEM For my imaginal acts, whether they be in love or in fear, they are seeds, and I must reap them. I will give you one that is very personal. When I planted it, I do not know, but I had to have planted it. And I will show you that, even though you plant unlovely things unwittingly, you need not be the victim. You can revise it, and change it, even though you are confronted with a seemingly insoluble problem. When I left here last year, in the month of July, I checked my two suitcases at the airport. When I arrived in Los Angeles, one was missing. The contents I could not replace for $1500. They were all the lovely dresses that my wife has, and all her dresses are made by a certain couturier in Beverly Hills, and not one is under $195. She has made these dresses over the years for her. They were not new, but I couldn’t replace them – any one – under $195 – plus other things in that suitcase. My suits were in another suitcase, perfectly all right. I recorded the loss. They said, “When we find it, if we find it, we will send it right over to you, Mr. Goddard.” After five days and not a word, we called, and they said, “It is lost. We’ve made every effort, and it cannot be found. Put in a claim and send it off to San Diego, the headquarters for the PSA office.” My wife did the legitimate thing in the world of Caesar. She itemized the contents to the best of her ability and what it would take to replace the items in that suitcase. That morning about 2:00 o’clock I awoke and said, “Now, look here. I teach this principle, and, so, I have brought about a loss in my own world. I will have none of it! I teach Revision. I heard what the man said over the telephone! ‘The thing is lost. They cannot find it; we have looked high and low.’ ” Then you read in the papers that hundreds of millions of dollars are stolen every year at our airports, depots, and the wharves across the country, and it’s an inside job, as it were. So, at 2:00 o’clock in the morning I took in my hands my suitcase. I felt the weight of it; I could feel the weight. I could see in my mind’s eye the grey bag with the black leather. I could actually feel it, and I felt it with the sense of relief, for of all the pleasures in the world, relief is the most keenly felt. When you are expecting someone, and they are late – someone you truly love, and they are late, and it gets later and later and you get anxious, and then you hear the familiar voice; you know the relief that comes. Well, now, that’s what you do when you feel that relief. And, then, I dropped it and got up and went into my living room and simply read my Bible. It was early. We have a lovely apartment, and it was quiet. We have no neighbors. 1 turned on the lights and read my Bible. The next day: no report. The following day I received a letter postmarked San Francisco, a strange, peculiar hand printing my name: Neville Goddard. The address was correct. When I opened the letter, there was the little note in the same peculiar printing! “Your suitcase is in Box 524, Sorry. The Phantom,” and enclosed a key. So, I called the security guards at the Los Angeles airport, and I told them the contents of the letter. I said, “I have the key.” “Well, we’ll investigate immediately,” which they did. They called back within a matter of five or ten minutes to tell me that there is no such box in Los Angeles. I reminded them that the letter came from San Francisco, so, he said, “All right, I’ll call you back.” He called San Francisco, and the security guards got the local police, and they opened 524, and there was my suitcase. They opened it up in the presence of the policemen, and the whole thing was ransacked – completely ransacked, utterly turned inside out. They sealed it and flew it down, and asked me to come over with my wife, and in the presence of the security guards in L.A. they would open my suitcase in my presence, which they did. Not a handkerchief was missing! Everything was turned inside out. The man was most apologetic, and he said, “Mr. Goddard, I am awfully sorry. We are sorry for the Company. These things happen. We do not know how they happen, but they happen. May we clean the things for you?” I said, “No, that is something that my wife and I do every year. We travel for more than two weeks. Everything we wear is dry-cleaned. So, it is a little problem of ours, and we’ve always done it.” Then he gave me his personal card and said, “The next time you and Mrs. Goddard travel on PSA, you are our guests.” I took the card and gave it to my wife, and now we are here and going back as the guests of PSA. But we did not lose one handkerchief – not a thing, but it was a complete mess. What they were looking for, I do not know, but they found nothing there. However, that’s done. ……So, here we have a law. It’s a principle, and morning, noon and night you and I are operating this principle, and we can’t stop it. If the world seems confused today, it’s confused because we, the operant power, made it what it is THE IDENTICAL HARVEST Lecture #456 –Neville No Date Dare to Assume Private Lecture Subscription www.NevilleLectureHall.com/daretoassume.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
