[The Allowance of The Flow] [Neville Quotes] DO NOT WAIT FOR CIRCUMSTANCES TO CHANGE

[Guest guest]

Do

not wait for circumstances to change; change your attitude first

Now, are you responsible for others in your world? Certainly you are.

Do not think that just because your Father gave you your imagination,

that you can misuse it and it will not hurt another. It will, for the

simple reason that awareness is rooted in you, and you are rooted in

everyone, as all of us are rooted in God. There is no separate,

individual, detached being in the Father’s kingdom. We are all one

grand Imagination, each completely responsible for its use or misuse.

Fourteen years before the frightful sinking of the Titanic, an

Englishman by the name of Walter Lord wrote a book entitled, “A Night

to Remember.” In it he conceived a fabulous Atlantic ocean liner

called the Futility.

She was 800-feet long, triple-screw and carried three thousand

passengers. Believing she was unsinkable, the liner carried only a few

lifeboats. Then one night, Mr. Lord filled her to the brim with the

rich and complacent and sunk her on an iceberg in the Atlantic.

The Titanic was built by the White Star Line. She was 800-feet long,

triple-screw and capable of carrying three thousand passengers.

Believing she was unsinkable her lifeboats were few.

Completed fourteen years after the fictitious Futility was imagined,

the Titanic sailed out of Southampton on her maiden voyage filled to

capacity with the wealth of Europe. Five days later, this glorious

ship struck an iceberg and sank on a cold April night.

I do not know the motive behind Mr. Lord’s book, but I do know that

the identical ship was built fourteen years later. That it carried the

same kind of a passenger list and went down in the same manner as the

fictional ship.

I tell you, there is no fiction. Tomorrow’s world is today’s fiction,

just as today’s world is the fiction of yesteryear. One man dreamed of

talking to someone across space using only a wire, another of hearing

music being played across the land in their own living room, another

desired light without the use of a candle. These desires have all come

true, but when they were first conceived they were all fictional, all

unreal products of the imagination.

There is nothing unreal because God, who is infinite, has finished

creation. You cannot conceive of anything your Father has not already

created and worked out every detail of its fulfillment in all of its

ramifications. You and I are only becoming aware of increasing

portions of that which already is. We are not making a thing, but

discovering it.

Stop reflecting life around you and begin to select the thoughts you

choose to plant in your wonderful mind and imagination. Single out

that aspect of reality to which you want to respond, be it success,

health, dignity, or nobility. Make it something wonderful where you

contribute to the good of society, the community and the world.

If you see the need of a church in your community, or a school, don’t

wait until people get together to discuss the possibility; rather,

contemplate the joy of having a church to lift man spiritually and a

wonderful school for the children.

Feel the thrill of witnessing these from within and you have planted

your seed. You need not labor to produce your seeds, for they are

already finished, waiting for you to encounter them in your community.

Plant your seeds and let others think they are bringing them into being.

Turn to a friend, and in your mind’s eye congratulate him on his good

fortune. Feel the thrill of such a contact. At that moment of response

you will discover that your attitude has changed with regard to him,

and your seed is planted. That seed will go through its normal,

natural hidden passage and appear as a reality.

Then you will know the power latent within you and stop reflecting

life by becoming a wise selector of states, giving expression to all

that is beautiful in this world.

Every moment in time is your seedtime and harvest. Do not wait for

circumstances to change; change your attitude first. If your boss is

rude and unwilling to increase your salary, ask yourself what it would

be like if he now saw you as the helpful person you know you are.

Suppose he saw, in you, someone he could praise and increase your

salary because of your added effort. Contemplate the boss seeing those

qualities in you and rewarding you accordingly, and you have planted

that seed. He may not call you tonight and tell you of your raise. It

may not even appear in this week’s paycheck, but it will come.

You must keep on planting lovely thoughts, however. You cannot leave

the office thinking of your boss as a skinflint. You cannot go home

and tell your mother or husband how bad he is for they, believing you,

will sympathize with you, as they are playing the same reflective,

negative approach to life. Rather, you must now leave the office in

the attitude that he has increased your income and praised your work.

Do this day after day, in spite of things to the contrary, and you

will produce, in your boss, a change of heart because you first

produced it in yourself. He will then see qualities in you he had not

seen before and reward you openly.

Do you know someone who is lonely and would like to be happily

married? Or someone desirous of a gracious home? Don’t be envious.

Feel their joy and you have planted the seed of fulfillment for them

that they will harvest.

AS YOU SOW, YOU REAP
