Compiled from the lectures of Neville Goddard, "The Story Of Jesus Is Persistent Assumption: A Metaphysical Interpretation Of Scripture" is excerpts from 68 of Neville's lectures and includes 4 complete lectures. It is a book focused on one of the many themes that run throughout his books and lectures that reveal to the reader how we bring our desires to fruition using the laws of mind. As Neville says . . "Take the challenge of scripture: "Whatever you desire, believe you have received it and you will." Dare to believe you have what reason and your senses deny. Persist in your assumption and it will harden into fact." No one showed us the key to the scriptures like Neville. Discover the truth of being from the World's Greatest Mystic and manifest your dream life. From the book: Introduction Please note that Assumption is just another word for Belief, which is another way of saying that what you say is true, is true for you. Belief is the law that brings our desires to fruition. Once you have decided what it is that you desire to be true, you live and move and breathe from that state of consciousness from then on. That is persistence. You need no objective proof that what you say is true, is true for you. The point of affirming your desire is that you are creating it in consciousness, not confirming an objective fact present to the senses, which is simply proof of past beliefs that have been brought to pass. As Neville said . . "The most creative thing in us is to believe a thing into objective existence." If there is one thing to keep in mind as you study his works, it is just that, that we believe things into objective existence . . and the easiest way to do this is to simply construct sentences that imply that your desire is already fulfilled and BELIEVE THOSE WORDS. As with all my books and compilations this book contains the very information that I have used in my own life to transform every aspect it. It is all about an inner transformation which results in an outer transformation with everything that happens in my life. Having read Neville more times than I can count, I discovered there were several recurrent themes within all his teachings. Upon first reading them I wasn't aware of the simplicity of his teachings as I would come to see after many readings and years of study. This particular book is one of the keynotes of his teachings. For without persistence in believing our desires are already fulfilled (already true) we will not see our desires manifested. We are always doing this whether we are aware of it or not. The difference is, by understanding the process we can do it consciously and not by default, which often ends with us manifesting unwanted conditions because we didn't realize the words we believe were becoming the conditions of our lives. It is my hope and desire that I have complied his teachings in such a way that it makes it easier for anyone seeking the truth to not only find it but find it much quicker when you know what you are looking for before you begin reading.
