Episode Transcript
You will find to night very practical that I'll show you very very fruitful.
Christianity has to be continued.
The deeds consecular history.
For Jesus, strife is the human imagination.
As Paul tells us in his first Letter to the Concident, we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed upon us by God.
How tonight we will show you one of these gifts if you really understand them.
To Jesus Christ is, I tell you, he is your own wonderful human imagination.
Death is Christ.
It comes with a shock when you pers hear it.
If you were raised in the tradition sir as to speaker one, I was raised in a Christian home, and naturally, like the hundreds of millions of Christians who were taught it as secular district, a little boy who was born of a woman who knew not a man, and that his father was God, he was the son of God.
And that was a story as I was taught it.
But I was searching and speaking from the time I think I can remember.
I believe the story is not a thought.
It to him.
I did get it and I can't tell anyone the shock was mine.
And sometimes I wondered if it would not have been better to turn back, like Israel in the desert and go back in the laby.
But I couldn't anymore than they could.
They had to keep moving towards the promised land.
So when you are dissolusions, haven't been taught to story as we all have been taught it to discover that he is not something in history.
He is nearer than your breathing.
In fact, he can't even be there.
He is your very self.
He is your own wonderful human imagination.
It comes with quite a shock.
Well I can tell it, Beck by telling you a story.
The year was nineteen thirty six, Roosevelt was elected.
I have been in a hunting for eleven years.
I never really wanted to go back to Barbadas my parents came up in that year and they fleey with me to come to Barbados and joined the family, become a member of the family.
And I declined, I said no.
I saw them off at the boat, and strangely enough, as they sailed, and they were on the deck, and I wait goodbye to him.
A peculiar feeling came over him, and I had a desire that I never had in eleven years to go to Barbada.
I had just said goodbye to them and said no to their request.
They would have paid all the sties and brought me back and then come the boat.
I went to my old praying at Dunah.
He was born, so I am told in Ethiotia.
He was a black man raised in the Jewish faith, but really understood Christianity as few men that I ever met understood.
He understood the law, not the promise.
He understood the lawyer.
So I went to him and I told him.
The Feelia came over me that I wanted to go to Barbadi.
I just waited my parents in a peculiar feeling possession, and he said to me, you are in Barbades.
Well, that did not make sense to me.
I'm standing in his place on seventy second Street off Central Park for us.
That's where he lived.
He lived the thirty west seventy second Street.
That I am in this place.
He's telling me that I am in Barbado.
He didn't explain what he meant.
So as the days went by, I take the kid and I am known mayor to Barbadoes than I was when I spoke to you, and you take to me.
If you are in Barbados, you cannot discuss the means to get into Barbatos.
You must actually live in Barbatos in your imagination as though you were there, just as did and vie the world from Barbados.
If you sleep in Barbados and due the world from Barbados, the means will appear, and you will go to Barbados.
Because I am concerned you are already in Barbabs because you desire it that in principle all you have to do is can be to enter it.
And you answer it now in New York City, even though that's two thousand miles across Warter.
You aren't going to walk across water, but you enter Barbados and view the world from it.
If you see the world from Barbados, then you have to be in Barbados.
He did not explain to me then that I learned later that men being all imagination, man is wherever he is in imaginations, and imagination is the God in man, that is the eternal body of the Lord Jesus Christ, and all things are possible to him and by him all things were made, and without him was not anything made that was made that what is now proven was ont only imagine these things.
I did not know then he's gonna be talked in the picture.
But I did my best, and I set made in Barbados, in my mother's home.
I looked at the world and saw some barbing this.
I saw New York City, two thousand miles to the north of the north the rest.
For we are in a certain latitude thirteen north, New York is forty two north.
We are the fifty ninth longitude.
New York is the seventy four.
So I trit no red as I could imagine it.
I heard the topical noises.
We call this land topical.
It really isn't topical in the two really two cents of the world.
When you go into the propics, it's something entirely different.
I was drawn in the coropics, almost on the equator.
It's an entirely different odor.
Some seis to go like this.
You look at the sun and the sun disappeared stutt a ball of red light becomes green.
You're looking at the sun and sudden, in a matter of a six second, you're seeing a green sun.
You're seeing the complements of raps.
So we have no highlights in Barbados.
The sun goes down rappers from a red ball to a green ball, and you'll see the green ball, said a whole atmosphere difference.
Well, I put myself into death and tell that my mother and father were in their room, and that my brothers, those who were not getting married were in the house.
A huge thing over hours and there I said.
This was now late October.
When it came to the end of November, I said to add I said, ad I am no nereer Barbados.
He said, you are in Barbados.
Then he turned his back on me, walked over to his bedroom and slammed the door.
Which was not an invitation to politics, if you understood that you were teaching me a lesson, the lesson of faith.
This I am actually seeing in Barbados.
No power in the world to in the fay with my journey to Barbados.
This is now day November.
The last ship out of New York City Totin for Barbados was the sixth of December.
I wanted to get there by Christmas, and so I could not raise the question anymore.
But on the morning of the fourth or the third of December, I got a letter from my brother Victor.
I did not ask him or any member of my family to bring me to Barbados.
He wrote a letter and he justified the content in the batah.
He said, we are, you know, a large family, nine brothers and a sister, which has never been united around our Christmas table at his first since we were family, for there was an interval between my sister Depty and the last two boys of eight years.
By that time, my oldest brother had left for the Marara in Bridistiana, and by Dani when he came back.
My brother Lawrence sent off to McGill to study medicine, and we were always moving around.
But this time every one was present but your students.
And if I'm enclosing a small little dress, fifty dollars.
But in nineteen fifty, when there were seventeen and a half million unemployed and we didn't have two hundred and four billion citizens, we only had one hundred and twenty odd visions.
It was me enormously If you're not old enough to know it, me I Tradu was really a horror.
But I was numbered among the unemployees, and so he knew that I could come.
It's the terms were there that I've had my pastic pain.
So we encrolled arink a fifty dollars dreath to buy a suit.
Well, you'll buy a suit in those days for twelve dollars.
Ten dollars.
You could buy a pair of shoes a can to for three dollars.
And so I went down to the teamship company because in the letter he said, I've notified the company to issue a ticket.
I'm doing the little fifty dollars.
You buy what you need for the chip and then sign the chips, and when I ship comes in, I'll meet the ship and say all the things that you have incurred all the days.
So I went down to the ship.
They say to me, I'm sorry, mister daughter, but we do not have a first past past for you.
We can accommodate you kill plank.
You have the first plast accommodation for meals, and you can have all the other areas of the first class for sleeping.
You have to go to the third plast.
I said, firstly, all right with me, I'll take it.
I went back to Abdullah, and I tell you, you know what he did when I said, I am going per class to Barbados, but I have the accommodation of the first for the daylight powers.
You said, who told you you're going play class?
You are already in Barbados, and you went thirt class again, He throws the door on ho.
I went down to the ship the morning it sailed on the sixth of December, and the ticket agent Samus forgot it.
I have good news, Borts.
We have a cancelation, and now you can go first calas.
You'll share it with two others, but free in the cabin.
Carefully, all right, the seat, And so I went down third class.
Abdulla.
Ever, when you returned from Barbados, you will have died.
Never explain a statement of that nature.
You would have died.
I'm coming back from Barbados, but I will have died.
He's to manners.
Well I did.
I went on to Barbados.
I was a fit vegetarian.
I had not eaten one piece of leaf or fish or fowl in seven years.
No smoking, no alcohol, no sense disillusion in my first marriage.
And the whole thing was simply I became a celibut.
I came back from Barbadis, and in Barbados, I was the same thing that I was when I arrived, to the annoyance of my family that they made all their money engrossed telling me fish, alcohol, everything, and I am enjoying a set based upon the epic.
And then I'm not taking what they're all On my way north.
I did everything I had not done in seven years.
He was right.
I died.
That fate of consciousness died.
That's what died.
Never is the immortality.
That inner man is immortal.
I was locked in a state the street I departed town, so as far as five concern I died to that state.
You see, night is nothing more than a hunger.
This whole vast world is a hunger under a numbered faces of counties from which you and I can view the world.
To satisfy their country.
So we get out of one state into the other state, and we do it in the same way.
I went to Barbados, sleeping physically in New York City.
In my imagination, I set in Barbados, and my ballower Ruth is saying a ticket and justify that by telling me the story of the family who had never been together at Pittmand to make it easy for me to say yes.
I did not be quested, I did not answer him.
He simply wrote the letter, and he told the little draft and told me to go and get my tickets.
So I was there for three months and I came back.
And then I tell you to discover the createst power of the world with my own imagination, with an awful job.
It was easier in the past to believe in an external trout, much easier to deleave in an external god to whom I could pray and then if he didn't answer, would say it all right, so he doesn't want me to have it, and I could justify favor.
But then I had no essay, and that is a very difficult thing.
I couldn't turn to the left or the right and praise or blame anyone who I found the cause of the phenomena of life.
And that cause was my own, wonderful due one imagination.
And that is what kept called God and called you the scribe.
When I would read it and I would go to the pictures with him, I would call the day I took him to see a certain picture, and it could never tell me do you get anything out of him?
And I began to incrivre the toy there was to come to Monte Christian.
You get increded, for when I did do these, sited him so real that I had learned the lesson.
The favorite thing is teaching us the same lesson in this world.
There is nothing but God in the world.
So here I one day took up the captor John, the fourteenth chapter John, because you would have the right guys, and not more than said does know twenty others saying to the meeting we talk people.
That's when I learned my deepres and when I took the fourteen of John and began to explain it in this manner, the again looks over.
Let not your heart be troubled.
You believe in God.
Believe also in me in my father's house, on any mansions, if it were not so what I have told you did.
I go to the pair place for you.
And when I go into pair a place for you, I will come again and receive you.
Unto myself that where I am there you shoutous, and I say it to him in the lines of what I just told you about my boble.
I prepared a place for this outer man that could do nothing but behind good by his SENI where I was living in a basement on seventy fiftee, and my sent is dictated the fact that I had no money, but done and unemployed, I couldn't possibly get to the Bronx without borrowing the nickels, and that I want to go to Barbabis.
The inner man is my imagination, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ, and all things are possible to him if I can't believe it.
So now I go to the place told you never without aple.
And so I sept in Barbabes, and I saw the world as I would have to see it were I in Barbabis.
And in the short six weeks the means cake that I made the most heavily kiss the Barbados.
Three months in Barbades, and I love the took back, bringing back over a good son to tide me over for a while, or a gift of my which I did not solicit.
So I then discovered who the Christ of Sipture was.
He was my own wonderful human imagination.
But by tradition I taught her along the way and went back to the traditional contexts and the belief in my senses and the belief in the everge by senses and what they dictated, until finally you break you from the traditional God to the God of extremes.
I experienced God on that hit, because who did it?
I did it all in my imagination, and it came to pass and looked by him, all things are made, and I think there is nothing made that is made, and I'm abjectly what I did was that I fund him.
I found him whom motives and the law and the prophets well, but I found him, and I still called him over.
I didn't call him by another name, but by calls him Jesus Christ, which means God the Savior.
But I under faces and he was my own wonderful human imagination.
And that was an awful shop because here there is a normal man with all the waknesses of the world, all the limitations of the place, things that I had done of which I was not trout and passed the say probable of doing.
And yet that's what God.
So your own wonderful human imagination.
I know from expreme is God get the Christ of scripture.
Now imagination past faith is the stuff out of which we passion our world.
We are told that without faith, it is impossible to please him.
Leader.
In the eleventh chapter, the sixth verse of the Official to the Hebrews without faith, it is impossible to please them.
Now what is faith?
Just describing that tailileveon chapter.
But let me give you another definition.
Faith is the subjective appropriation of the objective hope I hope to talk about Beata, I subjectively appropriated it.
Physically, I was in New York City and seven feet subjectively I was in Barbada.
I'm then to prove that I was in Barbados.
I can be looked at the world.
If I could see the world as I would have to see it.
You I in Barbado, then I subjectively appropriated that stake.
If I set in New York City and still no, I am in New York City, I will remain there forever, there will be no change in my world.
I had to subjectively appropriate my objective hope, my objective hope of the beginning bothering.
Now, whatever one has as an objective hope, they must now subjectively appropriated and sleep seeing their subjective appropriation.
You want to be and you name it all right, simply subjectively appropriated.
And that was the beginning.
Of my transition from a god of tradition to a god of experience.
When I came back to New York City, friends of mine who knew me in the days when I never touched alcohol or smoking.
I am a quiet smoking I tried it, but I couldn't be together aldohol.
I got other things like well, you name it.
All these things I do, I part not to success.
Sometimes that their day, but nevertheless I did it to this.
It didn't hurt me at all concerning my spiritual against that the accused game, the human imagination of being a glutton and a trumpet and a friend of sinners, one who loved the company of Harlow and tax collectives, and all the things in the world that people shocked.
And here was the human imagination in the midst of it all, trying to show everyone who knew that he's actually buried in Man, and he will rise one day in Man as the man in whom he landed.
And when it did happen to me in fifty nine, what a shock that it was, back in nineteen thirty three that this thing actually began to unpold that as were but not explained what he made when he said to me, you are embod this.
If you'll say to me right now, I would like to have a hundred thousand dollars.
If I were now telling you as he would tell it to me, I would say, you have it.
If you do not speak tonight in the possession of it, you are not doing what I have told you.
If you want anything, you simply speak anything I show you have it.
The secret of feeling as if it were true.
That's the system, and so we received not the spirit of the world.
The world don't The body of doubt is satan and as take so fairly and bittibly statable.
Oh my satan thout art.
But I'm doubt and does not know the dom from the man.
This is the dominance, limited by a five centies, limited by what reading the cakes to it.
So tonight, when I go to speak, reason tells me you are loud speaking at pain twenty five.
Power drives and resually tell you what I have in the world.
Because I don't like what I seem to have, and reading the peace, I was dare to assume that I have that which I would like to do.
I'm seeking that state rather than the state that my reason and my senses dictates.
If I dare to do it, I know from Dictaine to nineteen thirty three got in the work.
I have taught that law to everyone who will listen to them.
Many will listen.
Yes, many have proved.
But we are tetd to heable and wait all day long, because the moment of trying this is dictating.
You tend to go back to what reason dictates, and what the saintes dictate.
That the being who is speaking in you is the Lord Jesus Christ, and is your own wonderful human imagination.
So he is telling you be not afraid, let not your heart be purpose.
For in my father's house there are many mention mentions, the states the countess, and these are all for the purpose of satisfying the hunger of the man.
All hungered for.
Barbada is a state to satisfy that under the day will und will be a hundred that's not a thing of this world can satisfy.
For an extreme to God.
That's the state of continent.
There is a hunger for money that nothing can satisfy but money.
There's a hundred of same and nothing that same, trivial as it is now a thing will satisfy it.
That's same as you understand.
So these are all states.
So you enter into the state of the hunger and view the world from it and satisfy your hunger.
But if you are now known as you want to be known, then the hungred to be known is satisfied if you want to be anything, And then you view the world from that state, and the world's view of those subjectives concerns what you are actually seeing and experienced subjectively, So then your hunger has been satisfied now having done it.
In my own case, a bridge of incident was to build without my conscious reasoning mind.
I didn't write my brother's setter.
I didn't buy the fifty dollars there.
I didn't notify the sitting company to issue a ticket to me all that same by mail.
He was influenced two thousand miles away by miles assumpthing.
I did head to appropriate subjectiveness my objective hope.
So take your hope, your objective hope, and then appropriated subjectiveness and sleep in it as though it would tease if you dare to sleep in it, as though it is actually true.
In a way, you do not know that big of influence will appear, and you will be compelled to walk across that bridge to the fulfillment of the subjective appropriation the way you get to the aim.
It is now the fulfillment of the objective hope.
This is what this night I would share with it.
I tell it from it straight, and then from then on, when I found a crisis in my life, I applied it.
I do not live by every second of time, because I am purely satisfied with the life I live, and so there's no need for constant change in my life.
But there are moments in the lives of all of us where using the crisis, and then you have to pay action.
If you know who Christ is, for bear in mind by him all things were made, and without thing was not anything made that was made.
But do not become so completely anxious to the outer garment that you think is yourself.
It's only a garment.
And forget the inner man, the imaginative man, who is the mb news.
Get a maginative man is God himself, and the day will come that he will be born.
For the whole ass drama, I could get it into seat patterns, innocent experience imagination.
When you read that page, the third page of imagination.
You're going towards the Ami or we came out of the world of experience into a world in innocence, into the world of extremes.
I'm being toward.
I'm your bisness, imaginating because God himself.
So we are told all things are possible to God.
Then we are told all things are possible to his kins who believes.
For the nineteen chapter of matthewatises with God, all things are possible.
The ninth chapter of Mark houses all things are possible to his kins who believes that.
Who equates God with a man who can believe, you can't get away from very crazy.
If all things are possible to God, and all things are possible to the one who believes, then you create the one who believes with God.
So I know the difference between thinking wrong my wishful fills.
I'm seeking of it.
I am always thinking from where I am.
I'm all where I am, not right now.
I am thinking from this room.
I'm all my home where my wife is now.
But this room is more real now than where she is because I am thinking it from here and I'm thinking out there.
The secret is thinking from it.
When you enter into a state and think from it.
You give it all the tones of reality, You give it all the century bisiness that you can muscle.
And then when you open your eyes and you break the spell, you think, you know what have I done?
That was all imagination?
The world would say, that's all leading or imagination is gone.
You set the emotion as to read anarchist, and you do not have now to devise the means which will be employed to move it from where you are physically to where you are in imagination.
To listen to the word.
And now I go to the third place for you.
When I go to their place for you, I will turn again and take you to myself.
But where I am there you are also.
He is speaking to this garment.
This garment can't go you se on a chair, put it on a bed on the floor.
But he, the inner man, can be any place in this world I'm viewing.
The world is in imagination, which is the garathis He returns to the garment that he left behind, and he takes it to himself.
So I will return, having gone and repaired the place, I will return and take you to myself that where I am aware, in confet in my imagination which is the only gallery there you shall be also.
So I went into Barbada in my imagination, and that was close.
But I left the little darper that I wore on seventy fis feet in your city.
Then I returned the next morning and took it up all right.
Six weeks passed by, and seemingly nothing happened.
But it came with sudden shocking out of nowhere, the letter under my door.
Because in those days, what on earth would you been getting up early when there were seventeen d million unemployed?
And I was a dancer who wanted a dancers when they couldn't eat.
I forget pay to go to see a dentist if I had a found a job in arrest and dancing for nothing but death for the food that will take me.
People who are not my age have no idea of the detection of those days.
We speak of a recession.
Today there are six million unemployed with two hundred and four millions in our country.
There were seventeen odd millions, and that was not quite the two figures, and we only had one oddmo.
If you need no New York City, there's a place called Gimbals.
Gimbals moved all the way to to ten stations and hallways walking through from Gimbals to Penn station will be from there to about there.
I've seen may seven deeps all the way sleeping at night, no place to go.
At least they had a seated for them.
That's where they're slipped.
They set all over the place and what they could day or eat out, that's what they got.
And had no sauces to children these days, no welter eighty days and we had seventeen and a half million unemployees.
So I know what it is to go to get experience.
And with at one nickel, I can make a trip to Barbab.
This but cost someone cost the family well over one thousand dollars.
In those days a dollar was really two or three dollars.
That comes to buying things.
But I did have fun none of that ship.
And I be too thoroughly man.
But that was nineteen thirty three and I was born in nineteen five.
For you know my age.
That was the one one of the three.
One was a Nazi of the extreme thematic collar making this ship themselves, and one was an Orthodox hew And what accommodates the three office and so Orthodox Jew A little fellow.
He saw my new suit.
I paid twelve dollars and fifty cents for it.
He said me, uh, I want to do paid for it?
I said, said they robbed you.
I said, they robbed me.
They robbed Let me tell you something.
If it starts to rain, run you'll never get out of it.
Well, shrink right up to hear on you.
And here is this other fellow, both ellerly, gentleman, Nazi.
He was ranking all the long house.
Jemmy is going to take over all the rest of these.
He likes to take over America.
And the two other were at it, and the little Jewish orthodox man was reading his Bible multipifier in he do but talk to me about my suit?
Off into that sort.
And the other fellow was all silence by time he makes a salt.
You believe in the salt, We believe in all these.
Well that was my ten days exeat.
What an experience you all add that in the end it all so, I had the most fabulous day all the way down and came back to fulfill my fame.
Stop pay you would have died, and I did.
I died to a state not the immortal man cannot die.
But I didn't realize I was locked in a state until I began to sleep in another space.
I'm keeping in another space.
That state became the reality, and the old state could not be fish or fowl, or meat or so anything delight in eating fish and fowl, in all the things that the other one couldn't do.
So state is right for itself.
And so until one gets out of the state, don't try that hit you over the head.
He can't play it.
He knows what he's doing is the end to the only reality.
If you really believes the plans, you're going to poison me.
Did you know appoise me when I was sit down and eat the most glorious the plans, he was going to meet the same from the same dish as the poison.
I had that experience when I was a strict vegetarian.
I went to Toronto, a friend of mine inviting me your house there, and she could illicit the salmon that she really told said a beautiful summon.
But I would not easing a fish or meat or foul or anything in will say.
But I I guess I would say never to a fame the host.
And so I forced myself to eat what was good report.
It was the first time I drop I felt in these many years.
Do you know there were seven of us at the page, my host and hosting by then sing past and then two sons.
There were not of the rhymes, and I was the only one with tony poisons.
I came down.
I was poisoned and poisoned the all measure that night, and everyone ate the same thing.
But I was eating against the brain of my own being.
I knew I was doing wrong by my own at the moment moral at the conte, and I was poisoned.
And it all survives while the body the basque.
But I mean I was really sick.
So the most marve thing the world will poison if you think that it is wrong in what you do.
So here is it all in your own wonderful human imagination.
That is God and created the tree of knowledge of good and evil and being done in the world of experience.
And there are only two things in the entire sixific with the scripture that displeases God.
You can read from beginning to end.
You will not find more than two that truly displeases God.
And one is lack of faith.
The I am to and the other is eating of the knowledge of the tree of good and evil.
Now the all the seating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, I know I have, but the whole that were young and turns away from that belief that I ang.
So the lack of faith in eye ang and eeeping of the tree of knowledge of good and evil are the cure things that displeases God.
As meant to description, I can't find the third one.
I find no third only reason.
So we still know that I am dying.
I will tell Unless you believe that I am, you will die in your skin.
So the I am in your wonderful human imagination, and you can put it any place in the world.
You need not be anchored to where your sense is present that you are.
And let me speak tenderly to a lady who will says he wants to sell a home.
You can't sell the home if night after night to sleep in the home, you have to see out there lesly.
I do not mean physically, tysically.
I set in a basement on seventy five feet in New York City, but in my imagination I sat in my mother's hone in Barbados.
I was indicted.
I was in my mother's hom in Barbados.
I had not a nickel towards the venture, but cast a whale in like make sense of a thousand dollars, and it all made a wail.
But as a gift, it was not alone.
It was a gift.
If you want to sell that home, peers, you have to actually let it go in your imagination and seek as you would see and where you would be if he had sold it, And then night after night speak in that state.
Where else would you see if you have told this?
And if you want to rewin the room in your place, which is not what you want to do.
So I said, everyone, if you know who Jesus Christ, you are free.
The day will come you will know who That day is the most skilling day in Mexico.
When he told you stop, No, I didn't bring the watch tonight, so I do not know what time it is.
But now
