A Parabolic Revelation
Imagine and commit to the desired outcome (e.g., a specific rent amount) as if it is already a fact, even when external circumstances contradict it. Persist in this assumption with faith, and the physical world will eventually conform, often with added benefits.
Back in 1943 when I came out of the army I was looking for an apartment. My wife and I had determined how much we were going to pay for it, but when we found the apartment the rent was more than we had planned to pay. Realizing this, my wife said: �Well, that�s not demonstrating this principle, is it.� I said nothing. I simply paid the months of September and October, but when I went to pay the November rent the manager said: �I have an apology to make to you. An authority of the city came in and looked over my books. He discovered that the apartment you have was formerly rented for less.� Then he quoted the new rent figure to me, which was to the dollar the amount I had originally chosen to pay. It took me three months of being faithful to what I had imagined I was paying, even though during that time I was paying more. But, since the reduced rent was retroactive to the day I moved in, I got it all back at the beginning of the third month. I committed myself in my imagination, to what I was going to pay. I went looking, and because I was going to pay more -in his eyes -he gave me all kinds of concessions he would not have done had I paid him what the former tenant did. First of all he allowed us to pick out the wallpaper, the colors and rooms we wanted painted. He even built a bookshelf for me which covered an entire wall, for all my books. He did everything I wanted; but if I had gone in there and gotten the rent for the amount I said I would pay, he would not have built the bookcase for me, given me the wallpaper, or painted the entire apartment to my specifications. Only then was the rent reduced to the amount I had imagined it to be, and we remained there almost fourteen years. I tell you: imagination will not fail you if you are faithful. What could I say when I was confronted with the negation of my assumption? Nothing. I simply would not give up, and when the time was right my assumption became a fact.
Faithfulness to an imagined state, despite contradictory physical evidence, will inevitably lead to its manifestation. The 'negation of assumption' is a test of faith, and persistence ensures the desired reality unfolds.
