The Identical Harvest
To apply the principle, one must first believe that their own human imagination is God (the Lord Jesus Christ), then choose a goal, and persuade themselves that things are already as they desire them to be. Once self-persuaded, one does nothing further, allowing the world to aid the assumption's birth.
But tonight, in the practical world in which we live here, which will still be with you when you go through the gate called death – it will be the practical world – you will find this Principle still operating. Everyone who is not “born from above” will still be looking for this principle to find out how to make things come into his world that he wants. It’s a simple, simple principle. You start knowing that your own wonderful human imagination is God. That’s the Lord Jesus Christ. Though I do not now know from actual experience, I will believe it, and then put Him to the test. I will test Him, and then you take a goal in life for yourself or for a friend and then persuade yourself that things are as you would like them to be. When you are self-persuaded that they are, you do nothing. The whole vast world aids in the birth of that assumption. All you need do is assume that things are as you want them to be, and in that state let it go, and all things move to aid the birth of your assumption, there’s no need to go to anyone.
This is the practical application of the Law for those not yet "born from above." It involves a complete trust in one's imagination as the sole creative power, leading to the assumption of the wish fulfilled and then letting go.
