Zeile 111:
* "Tonight’s subject is: Many Mansions. You may be familiar with the subject from the 14th chapter of the book of John: “Let not your hearts be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions. Were it not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And when I go, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am, there you may be also.” (John 14:1-3, Moffatt’s translation) Now, who is this one speaking? Scripture tells us it is Jesus Christ. The chapter affirms it."
* So tonight, we will go into this great mystery . . for it is a mystery. Paul uses the word “mystery” concerning this story of Christ no less than twenty-odd times. He said: “Great is the mystery . . .” All through his letters he is speaking of the mystery. It is not history, for history is not a mystery; it is simply a record of the facts. Well, this is not a record of the facts of a secular nature, for the Bible is not secular history. It’s salvation history. So here, what are these “mansions” spoken of? They are states. All states are eternal, and they exist now. All states exist in the human Imagination, and the human Imagination is the Lord Jesus Christ. That’s God. There is no other God. And all things exist in him now! We have to make the adjustment: think of an infinite number of states . . anything you can think of . . it exists now. Man passes through states, like a traveler who passes through places, through cities. Well, the man who is passing through a state, like the traveler who is passing through a place, may suppose that the place that he has passed through exists no more, as a man passing through a state thinks the state through which he has passed exists no more. Wouldn’t it be silly when I leave this city to feel that because I have departed, that the city has ceased to exist? They remain for anyone to enter, and when they are in it, it seems to be the only reality and everything else in the world seems a mere shadow. When you enter into a city or a state, that state seems to be the only substance. Every state in the world exists now. Now, the first creative act recorded in Scripture is in the second verse of the 1st chapter of Genesis: ..and the Spirit of God moved… ” Whatever takes place is that movement within God. And God is our own wonderful, human Imagination. So whatever takes place is simply movement within God. How does He now move? That’s the secret: how to go into these states and make them real, make them alive in our world. It’s a very simple process . . very simple . . but you and I have to act to do it. It won’t do it itself; we have to do it. When we move into the state and clothe ourselves with the state, the state then takes on an external tone and becomes objective to our sight, as this room is now objective because we’re in it. All these states are just as real as this room once we occupy them. So, “in my Father’s house are many mansions,” numberless mansions. “Were it not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And when I go. I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am, there ye shall be also.” (John 14: 2, 3)"

Mit meinem alten Freund Abdullah habe ich diese Kunst jeden Tag praktiziert. Beim Abendessen bat er mich, den Lampenschirm anzuschauen. Er meinte nicht, dass ich den Lampenschirm sehen sollte - das kann jeder - sondern dass ich meine Aufmerksamkeit durch den Lampenschirm lenken sollte. Beim Blick darüber hinaus würde ich lebende, atmende menschliche Gesichter sehen. Ein anderes Mal bat er mich, ein Auto, ein Haus, eine Wand zu betrachten - nicht mit meinen äußeren Augen, sondern mit meinem inneren Auge; und wenn ich das tat, sah ich immer den Menschen. Als ich anfing, dies zu tun, musste ich es unterbrechen, denn ich konnte fühlen, wie ich mich durch und über diese Welt hinaus bewegte, um eine ganz andere Welt zu sehen. Das ist Vorstellungskraft!

Every day, with my old friend Abdullah I would practice this art. At dinner he would ask me to look at the lampshade. He didn’t mean for me to see the lampshade - anyone can do that - but to focus my attention through it. Looking beyond, I would see living, breathing human faces. Other times he would ask me to look at a car, a house, a wall - not with my outer eyes but with my inner eye; and when I did, I would always see Man. When I first began to do this I had to break it, because I could feel myself moving through and beyond this world, to see an entirely different world. That’s Imagination!
