Persistent Assumption

by Neville Goddard

I tell you a truth: There is nothing greater than your own wonderful human imagination! It is he who inspired
Blake, Shakespeare, and Einstein, for there is only one spirit in the universe! "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our
God, the Lord is One." That one spirit is the human imagination! When Blake was asked what he thought of
the divinity of Christ he answered: "Christ is the only God, but so am I and so are you." Don't think of Christ
as someone greater than yourself. He is the only God, but so am I and so are you! Don't consider yourself
less than Christ, for there is only God, who is your own wonderful human imagination.
Daring to assume that all things are possible to imagine, put this one reality to the extreme test by assuming
you are the person you would like to be. Your reasonable mind and outer senses may deny it; but I promise
you: if you will persist, you will receive your assumption. Believe me, you are the same God who created and
sustains the universe, but are keyed low; so you must be persistent if you would bring about a change.
