THE POWER OF AWARENESS


I think you know how thrilled I am to be back here, for this is the one platform that grants me complete freedom. You know that. Dr. Bailes has never once restricted me or even suggested any condition. He gives me complete freedom of this platform, and
for that I am really very happy, for I couldn't be here unless he did.

Now I have brought you this year an entirely new series. I have named this first one “The Power of Awareness" because it is the foundation stone on which the entire structure rests. Not a thing has happened in the past year to shake that foundation.
Many things have happened, many revelations, many experiments, and
yet the foundation remains intact. For those not familiar with this foundation,
we make the claim that consciousness is the one and only reality. So, if you call God the ultimate reality, that is the name we give to this ultimate reality. So we say
Consciousness is God. We say consciousness in action is imagination. And if consciousness in action, or God in action, is the Son bearing witness of his Father, then we come to the conclusion that imagination is that son.

We have had nothing this year, as I tell you, to disturb that deep conviction. We look upon the world as, I would say, a manifestation of consciousness; and the whole vast conditions of men but revelations of individual states of consciousness. We
distinguish between the individual identity and the state of
consciousness that it occupies. You are an eternal being. The real you is the imaginative you, personified for us in our Gospel as Christ Jesus, but man doesn't know it. But this is your real being. This being is your wonderful imagination.

When we speak of the revelation of state, we simply mean that the state in which the real you for a moment abides, objectifies itself as the condition and
the circumstances 0£ your life. If you are dissatisfied with the conditions of
life, there is no
possible way of changing them unless you first change the state from which you view the world; for the state from which a man observes the world determines the world that man describes.

For the world that is described from observation must be, as thus described, relative to the describing observer. In a very simple way, were I to ask you now "Where is San Diego? " and you answered "About, I would say, approximately 130 miles from here."
And then I ask another question, "Where is Santa Barbara?"
and you replied "Approximately 100 miles from here."Well, I do not have to be an Einstein to tell you where you are, for if you tell me where these two are, and one is a hundred miles from here relative to you, and the other is a hundred and thirty miles
from here relative to you, I know you must be somewhere within the
vicinity of this City 0f Los Angeles.

Now the same law holds good in any description you make of the world. If I ask you to describe your world socially, and I listen attentively to your description of the world, you are revealing your position in the social
world to me. If I ask you to describe it intellectually, financially, spiritually, you may not know it, but the description that you offer of the world is revealing to me who listens - or to yourself if you are attentive - that particular state of
consciousness from which you view the world. And you will continue to see the world as you now see it, unless you change your state of consciousness. Now, there are certain words that in the course of long use gather very many strange
connotations. And
so, in the course of time, they cease to mean anything at all. Such a word is the "sub-conscious". Such a word is, too, - and do not be shocked - such a word
is "Christ Jesus". No two have the same opinion of the word, the same definition or mood of the
word.

Let us now take a look at the word "sub-conscious" and see how it is defined for us. This is the definition as given to us in any good dictionary. It is that portion of mental state not directly within the focus of consciousness, but capable of being
called into such focus by the proper stimulus.

Now that is the definition of this fabulous realm. Now let us look at the claim
made for this realm. Our mental scientists, psychiatrists and psychologists of today refer to this region as the creative power in man; that
everything in man's world is determined by the activities of the subconscious mind; that man himself has absolutely no control over the activities of this region unless he first gets into a relationship with it. For here is
a region that they call the sub-conscious; others call it the "unconscious" , and still others speak of it as the "collective unconscious" , but they claim for it a creative power that molds the outer world in harmony with the inner arrangement of its
self. So they give it structure, they give it reality, they give it form, and they claim its structure determines the outer structure we observe and call the
only reality: that any modification in the internal structure of this deep region results in
corresponding changes in the outer objective world. But then they leave us at the mercy of IT, unless we can find the trick of entering into a relationship with it.

Now, let us turn to the Gospel. What is said of the central character of the Gospel - the one I refer to as Christ Jesus. It is said of this central figure that "All things were made by Him, and without Him there is nothing made that is made”. All
things, not a few things, all things - it includes all. I read my Gospel carefully and I find that from within out is the order of the Universe. In the 7th Chapter of Mark "Not what goes in defileth the man, but what proceeds out of the heart", either
for good or for evil. Not just the good comes
out, but the evil can come out too. All things come from within out; what goes within cannot defile the man; only the thing that proceeds out of the heart of man can bless him or defile him; that there is some creative power in man that constantly molds
the outer world in harmony with itself, and this Creative Power is described for us as Christ Jesus .

Now, let us take another look at what they teach us: that there is a method they use to pry into the deep of this region; that when a man is asleep, they use the method of dreams to pry into the deep. For the Bible tells
us that from cover to cover. “In a dream, when deep sleep falleth upon men, then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction.”

You are told that God speaks with his prophet’s chiefly in dreams. It was a dream that prompted them all to bring about their great revelation. Your are told that this wise man, the wisest of all, was promised riches and long life and great power, and behold, Solomon awoke, and it was a vision in the night! You are told the
birth of the central figure was prophesied in a dream, and everything was but the dream.

Now we discover there is another way of looking into the deep, and the waking way of looking into the deep is through man's imagination; that imagination is now the waking method used to pry into this great mysterious deep. For the ancients discovered
that if they would ever discover really the ultimate reality, it could never be
by any instrument made by man. In order to discover the ultimate reality, they would have to set Mind to observe itself, and then to accurately record those observations. For
they concluded that no description of
Mind made by any science known to man could be an adequate description of the Mind which made that science. So when today we are speaking of taking the imagination to look into the deep, it is looking at itself.

You set imagination to observe self and then to accurately record those observations. And you must come to the conclusion, imagination is the central figure 0f the Gospel.

When you will read your Gospel with this in Mind, the whole thing becomes a luminous book. One simple little passage, take it from any passage - if this was an open meeting I would challenge you now to ask me anything concerning the
central figure, and
taking the simple little technique of identifying that figure with my own imagination, the answer will be automatic. So here is one.

"Peter, lovest thou me? Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Then feed my sheep.” And three times the same question is asked and three times a
similar answer is given. And the last answer brought about a certain rebellion for it was asked three times. But now you take it as imagination asking itself,
“I have discovered my savior, I discovered my shepherd, and what would be the
sheep, for our
minds are like rambling sheep, or our thoughts like rambling sheep that have no
shepherd. Now that you have found me to be your shepherd, to be your savior, your own wonderful imagination to be the central figure; ‘Now, do you love Him?’ You answer "
Yes!”. Well, then feed my sheep.

"Well, then did I not feed the sheep? At any moment when did I not feed the sheep? “When you did not do it unto the least among one of these". Any time you imagine any unlovely thought against another, you walked me in the mud. And
then you said you
loved me, but any time that your imagination was ever exercised on
behalf of another, and it was not lovingly exercised, you did not feed me. You walked me in the mud.

And yet man goes blindly on believing he serves the Master; believing he truly understands Christ Jesus; that he understands and loves his Savior. And morning, noon and night he imagines the unlovely things against his neighbor, not knowing at that very
moment he was walking his Master in the gutter. And so we are told

"I sought water, and you gave me not to drink. I sought food, and you gave me not. I sought shelter and you took me not in. I needed raiment and you clothed me not.” But when did these things happen? I don't recall ever turning you away. When you did
not do it unto the least among one of these, you did not do it unto me. And then when did I do these things ? Whenever you did it to the very least among one of these, you did it unto me. And the day will come when man will discover the “least" spoken
of is himself.

When man discovers that the greatest of all the tyrants, the one who is the most impudent of all the offenders, the one who is the greatest of all the beggars is himself. Then he will discover that he stands in need of the alms of
his own
forgiveness and instead of railing against himself, he will start with self to ennoble his own thoughts, to lift himself up by imagining the best first of himself and then he will share that with the world round about him.
For he will look out on a world and describe it relative to himself and he will
not now see the unlovely things that formerly he saw. For this is what we mean by this foundation stone that so far has not been shaken.


A very wise man, Emerson, said that whenever a true theory appears it will be its own evidence. Its test is that it will explain the phenomena of life. I am convinced we have that true theory for this theory we give you
here that your consciousness is the only reality and that the particular state of consciousness in which you abide is the sole cause of the phenomena of your life cannot be shaken. I ask you to test it, even if the test is motivated by the determination
to disprove it. I will ask you to try it, for I know you will not disprove it. That this wonderful consciousness of yours is the ultimate reality, and you are
free to choose the state into which you will go. But most of us have chosen, but unwisely. Not
a thing is wrong with the state; the state is all right but it's giving effect to it that makes it either right or wrong as far as we are concerned.

Now our theory, I assure you, has not been suddenly conjured out of the nowhere
and the stories I have told you here for the last seven years, the case histories I have recorded in my last book, 'The Power of Awareness", were not fabricated to fit this
theory. But this theory was slowly built up by careful observation of the facts. For when someone would come into my world and describe their world to me, they revealed the being that they really are. When I ask the simple question, "What do you want?"
and they named it and they told me they really want it with all their heart, and then I asked them how would they see the same world had they realized their
objective? Looking at the same world they began to describe it differently. I said, "Now, that is
the description you must make of the world. You must weave that into your mind,
for in so doing you
move into the state where that world becomes real relative to that state.” So if you now know the world you would see had you achieved your aim, then that
is the world you must begin to see in the mind's eye. And if in time that state
becomes an objective fact, then the theory as you see was not made to fit it; it formed itself
by a careful observation of these facts. So if I could repeat that time and time again, and each time by moving this permanent "I" into the desired state and let it occupy that state long enough to make it natural, at the moment of naturalness the state
becomes visibly objective to them, then we
have a true theory. For it does explain the phenomena of life.

So here, in this series we have brought you many revelations. One that I want to stress throughout the entire series is the wide difference between thinking from an end and thinking of an end. Right now I am thinking from Los Angeles; every part of this
world, if I should think of it, I'm thinking of it. But I am thinking from Los Angeles, and the difference between the two, as you can see, one is reality and
one is a dream not yet made real, because imagination is the central figure of the Bible, and
no power in the world can stop his travel. He
