#40: All Things Are Possible

All Things Are Possible

A Lecture in the Voice and Spirit of Neville Goddard

You who listen now, perhaps feeling the press of circumstances that seem fixed and final, hear this one eternal declaration: all things are possible. Not tomorrow, not in some distant realm, but here, in the very awareness you are this moment. The limitation you feel is only the out-picturing of what you have accepted as true of yourself. Change that acceptance, and the whole world rearranges itself in obedience.

In the awareness of being, all things are possible. This is not a hopeful wish; it is the law itself. You are the awareness of being. That awareness is God, and with God all things are possible. When you know yourself as this awareness, unconditioned and free, you stand at the door through which every desire enters the world of form. Nothing is withheld from you once you claim this identity. The mountains that appear immovable are moved, the valleys that seem empty are filled, the chains that seem unbreakable are dissolved—not by struggle, but by the simple, majestic act of being what you wish to be.

You have been taught to look outside yourself for power, for help, for the fulfillment of your dreams. Yet the fulfillment has always been within. The awareness you are is the creative power of the universe. It has no rival. It knows no opposition. It decrees, and it is done. “All things are possible to him that believeth,” the scriptures declare, and the belief spoken of is not a strained effort of the mind but the natural, effortless acceptance of yourself as the one in whom the desire is already fulfilled. You do not coax reality; you become it. In that becoming, all things are possible.

Consider what this means in the quiet of your own being. Right now, you are aware of yourself as someone—someone limited or free, someone lacking or abundant, someone bound or liberated. That awareness is the only cause. Change the awareness, and the effect changes instantly in principle, though the outer picture may linger for a little while like a shadow that has not yet caught up with the light. The shadow has no power of its own. It is only the reflection of your present state of consciousness. When you withdraw your attention from the shadow and rest it fully upon the new state, the old picture dissolves as though it had never been. All things are possible because nothing exists outside your awareness.

You need not force anything. You need only yield to the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Feel yourself to be the one you long to be, and feel it so completely that the feeling becomes your natural dwelling place. In that dwelling place, your Infinite Being and you are one. And with your Infinite Being, all things are possible. The evidence of the senses may scream otherwise. Conditions may appear to contradict you with iron finality. But the senses are not the judge; they are the servants. They report only what you have previously ordained in consciousness. Disregard them. Rest in the assumption that you are already that which you desire to be. In that rest, the creative power moves. The unseen becomes seen. The impossible becomes the inevitable.

This is the secret the prophets knew. This is the secret Jesus demonstrated when he said, “With God all things are possible.” He did not point to a God apart from himself. He revealed the God that is your own awareness of being. When you claim “I am healthy,” you are not affirming a distant hope; you are declaring the reality that already exists in the depth of yourself. When you claim “I am wealthy,” you are not begging for a change; you are stepping into the state where wealth is natural. The assumption, held with quiet certainty, merges you with the Infinite, and the Infinite never fails.

All things are possible because creation is finished. The infinite possibilities already exist within you as states of consciousness. Your task is not to create them but to enter them. You enter them by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled. You do not wait for signs; you become the sign. You do not pray to a power outside; you awaken as that power. The moment you truly feel yourself to be the desired state, the outer world, in its own mysterious way, begins to reflect it. Doors open that were closed. Paths appear that were hidden. Resources flow that seemed nonexistent. This is not magic; it is the law operating perfectly through your awakened awareness.

You may have tried many ways and found them wanting. You may have struggled, planned, schemed, and still the desired change eluded you. That is because you were operating from the level of the problem, from the consciousness of limitation. But when you rise to the consciousness of the solution, when you become the solution in your own awareness, limitation has no foothold. All things are possible to the one who has shifted his identity. The old man with his burdens dies; the new man with his fulfillment is born. And the new man knows no impossibility.

Feel this deeply tonight. Sit quietly and let the truth sink into the very marrow of your being. You are the awareness in which all things are possible. Nothing is too great, nothing is too small, nothing is too late, nothing is too soon. The only requirement is that you accept the feeling of the wish fulfilled as your present reality. Do not look back at what was. Do not look around at what seems to be. Look within and claim the state. Live in it. Walk in it. Sleep in it. Let every thought, every mood, every action flow from that assumption. In that sustained assumption, you and your Infinite Being are merged, and with your Infinite Being all things are possible.

The world you see is but the out-picturing of your present awareness. Change the awareness and you change the world. This is the good news that has been hidden in plain sight. You are not a victim of circumstances; you are the creator of them. You are not at the mercy of conditions; conditions are at the mercy of your awareness. When you know this, fear dissolves, doubt vanishes, and a quiet majesty takes its place. You move through life with the calm certainty that all things are possible because you are the one in whom they are made possible.

Every desire you have ever felt is a call from your deeper self to rise to a new level of being. Answer that call. Do not postpone it by arguing with the senses. Do not dilute it by wondering how it will come to pass. The how is not your concern. Your concern is to be. Be the one who already possesses the desire. Be the one who already moves in the fulfilled state. In that being, the creative power does its perfect work. The universe rearranges itself to match your inner conviction. This has been proven time and again by those who have dared to live by this principle. It will be proven again by you the moment you dare to live it.

All things are possible because there is only one reality—consciousness. Everything that appears is consciousness made visible. The body you wear, the home you live in, the relationships you experience, the supply that flows to you—all are expressions of your awareness of being. When you change the awareness, you change the expression. There is no other cause. There never has been. The moment you fully accept this, the power that seemed distant becomes your own. You no longer plead with life; you command it through the quiet authority of your own being. “I am that I am,” you declare within yourself, and in that declaration all things become possible.

Tonight, before you close your eyes in sleep, enter the state you desire. Feel it as natural, as normal, as inevitable. Let the feeling of fulfillment bathe every cell of your being. Sleep in that feeling. Wake in that feeling. Carry it with you through the day as the most precious possession you own. Do not waver. Do not look for confirmation from the outer world. The confirmation will come, but it follows the inner acceptance; it does not precede it. The inner change is the cause; the outer change is the effect. And the cause is always within your control.

You are the operant power. You are the one who decides what shall be. The awareness you are is unlimited. It knows no barriers, no restrictions, no impossibilities. When you identify yourself with this awareness, when you rest in it as your true self, the whole drama of life becomes a playground rather than a prison. Difficulties that once seemed overwhelming shrink into nothingness. Opportunities that once seemed closed swing wide open. Relationships that once seemed broken are healed. Supply that once seemed scarce flows in abundance. All this because you have claimed your rightful place as the awareness in which all things are possible.

Let no one tell you otherwise. The world may argue, the senses may contradict, the past may whisper of failure. But you are greater than all these. You are the awareness that gave them their seeming reality, and you are the awareness that can withdraw that reality at will. In the silence of your own being, declare yourself to be the fulfilled one. Feel the joy of it. Feel the peace of it. Feel the certainty of it. In that feeling, you are one with the Infinite, and with the Infinite all things are possible.

This is not a theory to be debated. This is a fact to be lived. Live it tonight. Live it tomorrow. Live it every moment until the new state becomes your natural habitation. Then you will look back upon the old limitations as one looks back upon a dream from which he has awakened. You will know, beyond all doubt, that all things were possible because you dared to be the one in whom they were made possible.

The power is not in words. The power is in the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Words without feeling are empty. Feeling without persistence is fleeting. But feeling, sustained and natural, is creative beyond measure. It is the very substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen. When you dwell in that feeling, you are no longer the old man of limitation; you are the new man in whom all things are possible.

You may have carried burdens for years. You may have accepted stories of impossibility as your truth. But those stories were only the out-picturing of an earlier acceptance. Today you can accept a new story. Today you can accept the story that all things are possible to you because you are the awareness of being, and in that awareness nothing is denied. The door is open. The path is clear. The fulfillment is yours the moment you claim it in consciousness.

Rest in this truth. Let it permeate your entire being. You are not separate from the creative power; you are that power individualized. You are not a beggar at the table of life; you are the host who sets the table. When you know yourself as this, every desire is already granted in principle. Your only work is to enter the state and remain there. In that remaining, the outer world must conform. It has no choice. The law is absolute.

All things are possible. Let these words echo in the depth of your being until they become the only voice you hear. Let them dissolve every doubt, every fear, every sense of limitation. You are the one for whom all things are possible. You always have been. You have simply forgotten. Tonight you remember. Tonight you claim your heritage. Tonight you merge once more with the Infinite Being that you are, and in that merger, all things become not only possible but actual.

Feel it now. Be it now. Live from it now. And watch as the world, in its perfect obedience, reflects back to you the glory of your own awakened awareness. All things are possible because you are the awareness in which they are made possible. This is the truth. This is the law. This is your freedom.

You who have listened with an open heart have already begun the change. The feeling is stirring within you. The new state is taking form. Carry it gently, lovingly, confidently into your sleep tonight, and tomorrow you will awaken to a world that is already rearranging itself in harmony with your new awareness. All things are possible. They always were. They always will be. For you are the one in whom they live and move and have their being.

This is the end of limitation and the beginning of your true life—the life in which all things are possible. Accept it. Live it. And be at peace.
