Small Changes Can Produce Awesome Results
Waterfall of Life
Bedtime stories for a changed tomorrow
In the book Resurrection, Neville tells us that “feeling a state produces the state,” (1966, p.98). Every single night of your life you have the opportunity to engage this truth, to still your mind long enough to feel the state of being that you desire.
The part you play on the world stage is determined by your conception of yourself, much of which can be shaped by the thoughts you have as you fall asleep at night. By feeling your wish fulfilled as you quietly relax into sleep, you cast yourself in a star role to be played on Earth tomorrow. And while asleep you are rehearsed and you are instructed in your part. You “act your “role,” and through the night, you begin to take it quite seriously.
The acceptance of the end automatically wills the means of realization. Make no mistake about this. If as you prepare for sleep you do not consciously feel yourself into the state of your answered wish, then you take with you into the chamber of her who conceived you, the sum total of your reactions and feelings of your waking day. While asleep, you will be instructed in the manner in which they will be expressed tomorrow. You will rise in the morning believing that you are a free agent with free will, not realizing that every action and event of the day is predetermined by your concept of self as you fell asleep the night before.
Your only freedom then is your freedom of reaction. While you are free to choose how you will react to your day, the day’s drama, action, events, and circumstances have already been determined. Unless you consciously and purposely define the attitude of your mind with which you go to sleep at night, you unconsciously go to sleep in an attitude of mind composed of all the feelings and reactions of the day. How unfortunate this is if that day your feelings and reactions were not optimal, were not productive, and only resulted in pain and suffering for yourself or for others.
Every reaction makes a subconscious impression upon reality, and unless that reaction is counteracted by opposite and more dominant feelings, it will be the catalyst for your future actions. Ideas enveloped in feeling are actions created. Use your divine right wisely, for through your ability to think and to feel, you have dominion over all creation.
