“When I say all things exist in the human imagination, I mean infinite states; for everything possible for you to experience now, exists in you as a state of which you are its operant power.
Only you can make a state come alive. You must enter a state and animate it in order for it to out-picture itself in your world.
You may then go back to sleep and think the objective fact is more real than its subjective state into which you have entered; but may I tell you: all states exist in the imagination.
When a state is entered subjectively, it becomes objective in your vegetable world, where it will wax and wane and disappear; but its eternal form will remain forever and can be reanimated and brought back into being through the seed of contemplative thought.
So I tell you: the most creative thing in you is to enter a state, and believe it into being.”
——————————————————- “What is New Thought? It is a spiritual movement that started in the United States in the early 19th Century. New Thought thinkers usually wrote about the relationship between consciousness, thought, and belief in the human mind. As well as the effects of these within and beyond the human mind.
Goddard, one of the pioneers of the law of attraction immigrated to New York City in 1922, where he began to study under a rabbi who introduced him to the Kabbalah.
Goddard viewed the Bible as a tale of the human psyche as opposed to a clean record of historical events. He believed to truly get the essence of it, one has to interpret it as a manual to enlightenment and personal power.
Goddard’s thinking, therefore, is often compared to solipsism (the view or theory that the self is all that can be known to exist and is godlike), nondualism, and Advaita Vedanta, a branch of Hindu philosophy.”
