Catch The Mood

And I will dwell in the state and feel myself to be Neville – that “outer man” I just left on the chair or left on the bed, and I will see the world as Neville would see it if he were with me now. I view the world from that state. And, then, when it seems natural to me, I return to the physical “outer man” that I left on a chair – that I left on the bed and as I return, we fuse and become one person, not two. Then I move across a bridge of incidents that I don’t really, rationally build – it simply appears, and I move across a series of events that I do not reasonably determine – they simply happen. I will move across this bridge of events up to the state where I entered and now dwell. But when I get there, it seems so natural!

After imaginatively dwelling in a desired state until it feels natural, a "bridge of incidents" (a series of unlooked-for, naturally unfolding events) will appear to carry the individual from their current physical reality into the physically manifested desired state. These events are not rationally planned but simply happen.

Faith

A bridge of incidents will develop, over which you will pass until the [state is fulfilled] like pure imagining in us, and that He works in the very depths of our soul, underlying all of our faculties, including perception; but He streams into the surface mind least disguised in the form of creative fancy, like a daydream – just a simple daydream.

Once a desired state is assumed in imagination, a series of natural, unfolding events (a 'bridge of incidents') will automatically develop to lead the individual to the physical manifestation of that state. This process is orchestrated by the deeper imaginative power within.

Gifts Bestowed By God

Now, having done it, in my own case a bridge of incidents was built without my conscious reasoning mind. I didn’t write my brother’s letter. I didn’t buy the $50 draft. I didn’t notify the shipping company to issue a ticket to me. All that came by mail. He was influenced two thousand miles away by my assumption. I dared to appropriate subjectively my objective hope.

A 'bridge of incidents' refers to the series of natural, often unexpected, events that unfold in the physical world to bring about the fulfillment of an imaginatively appropriated desire. These events occur without conscious planning or effort from the individual's reasoning mind.

Grace Vs Law

I know from my own experience that if I dared to do it, though everything in this world would tie me here, there will be a reshuffling of the events of life and compel the journey on my part, and it worked. That assumption of mine would build a bridge of incidents across which I would move to the fulfillment of that state. No power in the world could stop it. I will walk across a series of events from the moment that I do it. Things would happen to compel me to go, and I, physically - the man - could not resist it. That would compel the journey.

When an assumption is dared and faithfully maintained, it initiates a 'reshuffling of the events of life,' creating a series of compelling incidents (a 'bridge of incidents') that lead inevitably to the physical manifestation of that assumed state.

If You Can Really Believe

You do not have to go out and devise the means to the end. Having assumed the end, the end will devise the means – a series of incidents across which you will move. You will move across some bridge of incidents leading from where you have assumed the state to the fulfillment of it, because you go to the end, dwelling in the end. Then some strange thing happens in the world, and this bridge appears. You walk across the bridge of incidents leading up to the end.

Once an end is assumed and dwelt in, the universe automatically creates a "bridge of incidents" – a series of events and circumstances – that leads to the physical manifestation of that assumed state, without conscious effort to devise the means.

Imagination

I have entered into the state of my desire and I will move across a bridge of incidents, a series of events that will lead me and compel me to take a journey to New York City.

The 'bridge of incidents' is the series of natural, unfolding events that are automatically set in motion in the physical world to lead one to the fulfillment of a desire, once that desire has been fully realized and occupied in the Imagination.

Live In The End

If you do, yes, a bridge of incidents will appear in your world, and you’ll walk across some series of events leading up to the fulfillment of the imaginal state. But don’t give causation to any physical step that you took towards the fulfillment of it.

Once an imaginal act is given reality, a series of natural events (a 'bridge of incidents') will unfold in the physical world to lead to its fulfillment. However, these events are merely effects, not causes; the true cause is the imaginal act itself.

The Potters House

I know from experience that now a bridge of incidents will start to be built. I do not consciously build it, but some series of events will occur, and I will pass over this bridge of incidents that will take me from where I am now to where I was in my imaginations and I cannot resist it.

Once an imaginal act is truly accepted as real, a 'bridge of incidents' (a series of natural, unfolding events) is automatically constructed in the outer world. This bridge leads the individual from their current physical reality to the fulfillment of their imagined state, and it is irresistible.
