10-26-1968 I say imagination creates reality, and if this premise is true then imagination fulfills itself in what your life becomes. Although I have changed the words, what I am saying is not new. Scripture says it in this manner: “Whatsoever you desire, believe you have received it and you will.” This statement goes back two thousand years, yet even before that Jeremiah tells of the same principle in his story of the potter and…

Imagination My Slave
02-13-1967 I would like to make this series as productive and as helpful as the fall series. For I feel in the fall series that we reached a very high watermark. Not only in what we’ve accomplished in the world of Caesar but in the spiritual life. Everything here is geared toward a center and that center is God and where are we in relationship to God.So, we accomplish not only the changes we…
Read moreImagination Plus Faith
1971 This series is really a combination of both the Law and the Promise. Tonight, naturally, will be the Law, and yet some parts of the Promise may be woven into it. The title, as you know, is “Imagination Plus Faith.” So, we will have to define the words as we use them. I firmly believe that: “Man is all imagination, and God is man and exists in us, and we in Him;” [Wm….
Read moreImagination, The Real Man
6-21-68 We teach that the eternal body of man is the Imagination, and that is God himself, the divine body Jesus; we are his members. The Bible is addressed to the real man and the real man, the immortal man that cannot die, is the Imagination. It is this with which we treat. I do not know if you saw or heard the eulogy that Ted Kennedy gave for his brother Robert. In that…
Read moreImagining Creates
06-3-1968 The creator of the world works in the depth of your soul, underlying all of your faculties, including perception and streams into your surface mind least disguised in the form of creative fancy. Watch your thoughts, and you will catch Him in the act of creating, for He is your very Self. Every moment of time you are imagining what you are conscious of, and if you do not forget what you are…
Read moreInfinite States
03-22-1968 Quite often someone will say to me: “I don’t think others understand you.” I was asked this question: ‘When you use the word ‘state’ I don’t think others know what you mean, so would you please explain it?’” Tonight I will try. We are told: ‘You are sons of the Most High, all of you.” (Not just a few, but all of us). “Nevertheless, you will die like men and fall”…..into infinite states…
Read moreIn Praise of Wisdom
4/23/65 Tonight’s subject is “In Praise of Wisdom.” The Bible speaks of two entirely different types: The wisdom of this world which they claim is foolishness in the eyes of God; and then the wisdom of God which is foolishness in the eyes of man. But the road to the wisdom of God is the great secret of God. It’s not through some initiation ceremony or philosophical instruction, but through the highest gift of…
Read moreImparting and Implanting the Word
12/15/67 The most incredible story ever told man or that could ever be told man is the gospel. You and I read in the morning paper, and we’re all excited that someone transplanted a heart. Time magazine refers to it as the “ultimate operation”; take a heart from one who is dead and put it into the body of one who needs one badly. Why, I do not know, but he wants to vegetate beyond…
Read moreInfinite Power
02-16-1968 “Truth is within ourselves. It takes no rise from outer things No matter what you see. There is an inmost center in us all Where truth abides in fullness to know, Rather than insist on opening up a way Whence the imprisoned splendor may escape That is effecting everything As a light that is supposed to be without.” My word is truth. This truth is within you, waiting to be accepted in order…
Read moreIs Christ Your Imagination
03-22-1963 Tonight’s subject is in the form of a question: “Is Christ your Imagination?” When we ask the question we expect the answer in terms of our current background of thought, and quite often that is not adequate to frame the answer. Now, I am asking the question, and in order to answer myself I should really clarify the terms, “imagination” and “Christ” I think there will be no problem tonight if I define…
