If that statement applies to You get CORONA on Your Mac and walk into Your future prepared.
As a result of this in 1941, it was 1949 that I gave a series of lectures in Milwaukee, and the head chemist at Allis-Chalmers came to my meetings. I made some statement using a term that is a scientific term, and the word was “entropy.” Well, I might have used it, not as the scientist would have used it, but I had my own concept of what the word meant and my definition of it, and I said I can change the past. If I can make something, I can unmake it.
Whatever I can create, I can uncreate. Whatever I can make, I can unmake. He said: “You can’t do it. For we use entropy in our laboratory every day, and entropy means the past is unalterable; you can’t change it. If the past could be changed, I wouldn’t know what I am doing in the lab…” He said: “All day long I receive little samples of water from all over the world, because we make these huge turbines. And from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa – all over the world – they send samples, because the water passes through certain mineral deposits and carries with itwhatever is in that mineral, and, so it cakes. We have to analyze that water and then bring up a solution, because we made the product.” And I said: “I don’t care what you say. I know what I’ve done. And you can undo the past. You can change it.”
“It can’t be done
I said: “As far as I am concerned, the whole vast world is finished. Creation is finished, and I am only becoming aware of it. Well, I need not confine myself to what my senses see and what reason allows and what wise men tell me I should accept. I can imagine a state. I can’t see it with my physical eye, but I can imagine a state, and that state imagined is. I can imagine a state that is in conflict with the facts of life. And the facts, you say, are, and they can’t be altered. I can imagine a state that would undo the fact. Well, that state exists. If I occupy that state it will undo the so-called fact you say is fixed forever.” Well, he questioned my sanity, but he was an awfully nice chap. His name was Professor Imhoff. He was the head of the department of this chemical setup. So, while he was a very wise and gentle and kind person.
I returned to New York City, and he sent me the “Scientific News Letter,” dated October the 15th, 1949, in which he said: “Now, Neville, I apologize for having said what I did. This man is far greater as a physicist than I am as a scientist. He is Professor Feynman, of Cornell University, one of the outstanding physicists of our day in speculative, theoretical physics; and this is his letter. And he wrote in this little letter, which was printed in the magazine, a story concerning the positron, a little particle that is produced in atomic disintegration. It’s like the electron, but differs in this respect. It is positive in its charge instead of being negative.
Now, these are the words of Feynman, they are not mine. He says: “The positron is a wrong-way electron. It starts from where it hasn’t been, and it speeds to where it was an instant ago. It is bounced so hard its time sense is reversed, and then it returns to where it hasn’t been.” (Now, this is Feynman, this isn’t Neville.) Then he goes on to say: “When a little electron is moving speedily in space if it is bounced, it’s deflected, but continues on its course. But if it is bounced so hard, then its time sense is reversed, and it returns to where it hasn’t been.” “Now,” he said, “on the basis of this, we must now conclude that the entire concept that man held of the universe is false. We always believed that the future developed slowly out of the past. Now, with this concept which we have seen and photographed, we must now conclude that the entire space-time history of the world is laid out, and we only become aware of increasing portions of it successively.”
FUNDAMENTALS
-- NEVILLE Author of "The Power of Awareness"
WITH
so vast a subject, it is indeed a difficult task to summarize in a few hundred
words what I consider the most basic ideas on which those who seek a true
understanding of metaphysics should now concentrate. I shall do what I can in
the shape of three fundamentals. These fundamentals are: Self-Observation,
Definition of Aim, and Detachment.
The
purpose of true metaphysics is to bring about a rebirth or radical psychological
change in the individual. Such a change cannot take place until the individual
first discovers the self that he would change. This discovery can be made only
through an uncritical observation of his reactions to life. The sum total of
these reactions defines the individual's state of consciousness, and it is the
individual's state of consciousness that attracts the situations and
circumstances of his life.
So
the starting point of true metaphysics, on its practical side, is
self-observation in order to discover one's reactions to life, reactions that
form one's secret self - the cause of the phenomena of life.
With
Emerson, I accept the fact that “Man surrounds himself with the true image of
himself . . . what we are, that only can we see."
There
is a definite connection between what is outer and what is inner in man, and it
is ever our inner states that attract our outer life. Therefore, the individual
must always start with himself. It is one's self that must be changed.
Man,
in his blindness, is quite satisfied with himself, but heartily dislikes the
circumstances and situations of his life. He feels this way, not knowing that
the cause of his displeasure lies not in the condition nor the person with whom
he is displeased, but in the very self he likes so much. Not realizing that
"he surrounds himself with the true image of himself" and that
"what he is, that only can he see," he is shocked when he discovers
that it has always been his own deceitfulness that made him suspicious of
others.
Self-observation
would reveal this deceitful one in all of us; and this one must be accepted
before there can be any transformation of ourselves.
At
this moment, try to notice your inner state. To what thoughts are you
consenting? With what feelings are you identified? You must be ever careful
where you are within yourself.
Most
of its think that we are kind and loving, generous and tolerant, forgiving and
noble; but an uncritical observation of our reactions to life will reveal a self
that is not at all kind and loving, generous and tolerant, forgiving and noble.
And it is this self that we must first accept and then set about to change.
Rebirth
depends on inner work on one's self. No one can be reborn without changing this
self. Any time that an entirely new set of reactions enters into a person's
life, a change of consciousness has taken place, a spiritual rebirth has
occurred.
Having
discovered, through an uncritical observation of your reactions to life, a self
that must be changed, you must now formulate an aim. That is, you must define
the one you would like to be instead of the one you truly are in secret. With
this aim clearly defined, you must, throughout your conscious waking day, notice
your every reaction in regard to this aim.
The
reason for this is that everyone lives in a definite state of consciousness,
which state of consciousness we have already described as the sum total of his
reactions to life. Therefore, in defining an aim, you are defining a state of
consciousness, which, like all states of consciousness, must have its reactions
to life. For example: if a rumor or an idle remark could cause an anxious
reaction in one person and no reaction in another, this is positive proof that
the two people are living in two different states of consciousness.
If
you define your aim as a noble, generous, secure, kindly individual - knowing
that all things are states of consciousness - you can easily tell whether you
are faithful to your aim in life by watching your reactions to the daily events
of life. If you are faithful to your ideal, your reactions will conform to your
aim, for you will be identified with your aim and, therefore, will be thinking
from your aim. If your reactions are not in harmony with your ideal, it is a
sure sign that you are separated from your ideal and are only thinking of it.
Assume that you are the loving one you want to be, and notice your reactions
throughout the day in regard to that assumption; for your reactions will tell
you the state from which you are operating.
This
is where the third fundamental - Detachment - enters in. Having discovered that
everything is a state consciousness made visible and having defined that
particular state which we want to make visible, we now set about the task of
entering such a state, for we must move psychologically from where we are to
where we desire to be.
The
purpose of practicing detachment is to separate us from our present reactions to
life and attach us to our aim in life. This inner separation must be developed
by practice. At first we seem to have no power to separate ourselves from
undesirable inner states, simply because we have always taken every mood, every
reaction, as natural and have become identified with them. When we have no idea
that our reactions are only states of consciousness from which it is possible to
separate ourselves, we go round and round in the same circle of problems - not
seeing them as inner states but as outer situations. We practice detachment, or
inner separation, that we may escape from the circle of our habitual reactions
to life. That is why we must formulate an aim and constantly notice ourselves in
regard to that aim.
This
teaching begins with self-observation. Secondly it asks, "What do you
want?" And then it teaches detachment from all negative states and
attachment to your aim. This last state- attachment to your aim - is
accomplished by frequently assuming the feeling of your wish fulfilled.
We
must practice separating ourselves from our negative moods and thoughts in the
midst of all the troubles and disasters of daily life. No one can be different
from what he is now unless he begins to separate himself from his present
reactions and to identify himself with his aim. Detachment from negative states
and assumption of the wish fulfilled must be practiced in the midst of all the
blessings and cursing of life.
The
way of true metaphysics lies in the midst of all that is going on in life. We
must constantly practice self-observation, thinking from our aim, and detachment
from negative moods and thoughts if we would be doers of truth instead of mere
hearers.
Practice
these three fundamentals and you will rise to higher and higher levels of
consciousness. Remember, always, it is your state of consciousness that attracts
your life.
Start
climbing!

Neither the 1976 Copyright Act, the Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988, the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992, nor the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 will restore protection to works that fell into the public domain before the passage of the laws. However, the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (NAFTA) and the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) may restore copyright in certain works of foreign origin that were in the public domain in the United States. Under the copyright law in effect prior to January 1, 1978, copyright could be lost in several situations. The most common were publication without the required notice of copyright, expiration of the first 28-year term without renewal, or final expiration of the second copyright term. The Copyright Renewal Act of 1992 automatically renews first term copyrights secured between January 1, 1964, and December 31, 1977.
