Controlling inner talking

If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man and able also to bridle the whole body. Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven by fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a littl

There are two gifts which God has bestowed upon man alone, and on no other mortal creature. These two are mind and speech; and the gift of mind and speech is equivalent to that of immortality. If a man uses these two gifts rightly, he will differ in nothing from the immortals… and when he quits the body, mind and speech will be his guides, and by them he will be brought into the troop of the gods

The great secret of success is a controlled inner conversation from premises of fulfilled desire. The only price you pay for success is the giving up of your former conversation which belongs to the Old Man, the unsuccessful man. The time is ripe for many of us to take conscious charge in creating heaven on earth. To consciously and voluntarily use our imagination, to inwardly hear and only say th

Here is the way a lady wisely used this law of revision: It appears that two years ago she was ordered out of her daughter-in-law’s home. For two years there was no correspondence. She had sent her grandson at least two dozen presents in that interval, but not one was ever acknowledged. Having heard the story of revision, this is what she did: As she retired at night, she mentally constructed two

“Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation.” It is only what is done now that counts, even though its effects may not be visible until tomorrow. We call, not out loud, but by an inner effort of intense attention; to listen attentively, as though you heard, is to create. The events and relationships of life are your Word made visible. Most of us rob others of their willingness and their

“See, I have set before you this day life and good, death and evil, blessings and cursings. Choose life.” The conditions and circumstances of life are not created by some power external to yourself; they are the conditions which result from the exercise of your freedom of choice, your freedom to choose the ideas to which you will respond. Now is the accepted time. This is the day of salvation. Wha

This man’s inner conversations are based on the premise that he already has money, his constant inner question: the proper use of it. The inner conversations of the man struggling to ‘get’ money only prove his lack of money. In his ignorance of the power of the word, he is building barriers in the way of the attainment of his goal; he has his eye on the competition rather than on the goal itself.

He said, “Alright, I can’t find the stand, I will design one.” So he designed the stand and had it made. When the stand came and he placed it where he intended putting the machine, he said to himself, “I will now see the machine on it,” which he did. He said, “Now that I have the machine it’s only fair to pay the bill,” so he sat down and wrote the check out and sent the check off to the electroni

Now, I can sit quietly and carry on the most heavenly conversation, and I know it will come to pass. No power in the world will stop it if I’m faithful to it. Now, let me share with you a simple story that came in this morning’s mail (he is here tonight). He said, “I called on a customer down in the beach area, and during the conversation something came up about Imagination. I became all excited a

It doesn’t matter whether you are good in the eyes of the world or evil in the eyes of the world. This is a principle. If I’m going to confine my knowledge of Christianity simply to the biography, human biography of Jesus, I’m going to rob myself of the reality of Christ. Christ is all encompassing, he’s everything. To say I believe in Christ and then go to church on Sunday or go to church like to

So I call upon everyone here this night to test it. And may I tell you, my friend who never spoke in public before, to do it and in one month he ___(??) challenge: go out and tell the whole vast world that you meet of the reality of your own wonderful human Imagination. When the man said to him, “What will you title your subject?” he said, “Inner Speech.” That was the title he gave to his talk whe

Now let us go into the Silence. Q: In the Bible ___(??). Does this mean inner talking? A: Inner talking, inner vision, inner touch. Q: The constant…all the time… A: You’re doing it anyway, but you’re doing it unknowingly. A man walks the street, he’s not alone; he’s always imagining something and dwelling on something. Most of the time he’s dwelling on things he doesn’t like, and tries to resolve

Q: After all this happens, do you still meet tests to overcome? A: After it happens? You’re still wearing a garment of flesh and these garments of flesh are related to the animal world. This is part of the world of the beast. I can’t stop it…I must eat, I must do all the things that the animal world is doing, it’s part of the animal world. When it’s taken off after these experiences, you’ve taken

The whole manifested world goes to show us what use we have made of God’s gift. Receiving a gift does not mean that we are going to use it wisely, but we have the gift. Everyone has the gift; and the world simply reflects the use of that gift. In “The Merchant of Venice,” Shakespeare puts these words into the mouth of Portia: “If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been

As we are told in the 50th Psalms: “If a man orders his conversations aright, I will show him the salvation of God.” If one could only control these inner conversations morning, noon and night, and carry them right into the dream world, he would know what world he is creating. Stop for one moment and ask yourself, what am I thinking now? You are carrying on a little tiny inner speech at every mome

Then in Ephesians we are told, — it’s the 4th chapter: “Put off the old nature which belongs to the former conversations, and put on the new nature.” The “new nature” is sometimes translated “the new man,” and the “old nature” the “old man.” Well, if I equate the “old nature” with the “former conversations,” I must equate the “new man” with the “new conversations.” So, He identifies the inner spee

Posted at 13:36h in Neville by Tima Vlasto 11/15/71 Tonight’s title is The Coin of Heaven. There are two sides to the coin: mind and speech. You’re telling the 50th Psalm, “To him who orders his conversation aright, I will show the salvation of God.” Now, there is a work that came out in the first century, just about the time the Evangelists were gathering together our gospel. It’s called the Herm

Know what to do, carry on, an inner conversation from the premise of the wish fulfilled, and then persist in that assumption. If I keep that story before me, as the fourth chapter of Psalm tells me: “Commune with your own heart upon your bed and then be silent.” Communing in what sense? Carry on a dialogue. What dialogue? From the premise of my wish fulfilled. Would I share it? I would share it wi

6. Negativity “…prune your imagination by withdrawing your attention from all unlovely and destructive ideas and concentrating on the ideal you wish to attain.” – Neville “Begin now to discipline your mind by observing your thoughts. Watch them all through the day and refuse to listen to any thought that is unlovely.” – Neville Another incentive to eliminate negativity is the rebound effect or wha

As we are told in Isaiah, the 55th chapter: “And the word that goes forth from my mouth shall not return unto me void; it must accomplish that which I purpose and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11) But you will say, “This is the Lord speaking, and certainly the Lord can do that.” Well, now, let me quote the last words of David as said in the 23d chapter of II Samuel – and th

So, it is simply that the mind reflects it. And the mind reflects God. So, my God goes back, then, to my speech. So, I am simply reproducing the same old story in my world when I could easily change the record. Back in 1953 my wife had a vision. It was an audio-vision. She jumped out of bed and came into the living room. I always rise early. She came barging through looking for the dictionary, and

Tonight’s subject is, “Order Your Conversations Aright.” As we are told in the 50th Psalm: “To him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God.” (Psalm 50:23, KJV) Have we any instructions in Scripture concerning how we order our conversations aright? We do have it in the 4th chapter of Ephesians. We are told, “Put off your old nature which belongs to your former convers

So, it doesn’t really matter as far as I am concerned. I do my work. They may never write to tell me that it worked, but quite often I meet them, maybe a year later, or three or four years later, and they will say, “You know, so-and-so happened.” I ask them, “Do you know why it happened? Then they will give me the means that were employed and tell me that is why it happened. Mrs. Archibald Rooseve

Now, he started behind the 8-ball. He had himself, my mother, my grandmother, and the ten of us to feed, plus a few servants. It was not easy. But when he died in 1959, he could leave his ten children – because my mother preceded him by many years, and he never remarried. She died in ’41, and he said, “No, I’ve been so blissfully happy with your Mother, I could not ever get married again,” so he r
