YOU CAN NEVER OUTGROW I AM, by Neville Goddard 3/10/69

" Now, without faith it is impossible to please God, and faith does work on this level. Everything you possess was brought into being through faith, and the glory of faith lies in its power to link us to the heavenly realm. Having heard salvation’s story, can you have faith in this divine vision (which is the gospel) in the time of trouble? No matter what happens to you, can you center yourself upon the vision? Can you believe that, housed within you as your I amness, is the only creative power in the world? I hope so, because your faith in God is measured by your confidence in yourself.

When you imagine a state, do you believe that the scene has the power to externalise itself? Or do you feel you must pray to a being on the outside for help? I tell you: there is no being on the outside. The creative power of the world is housed within you now. Sit down and imagine a state of confidence that it must externalise itself. Believe that because all things are possible to imagine, the state you have imagined must become an external fact.

I have tried this time and time again, and it has always proved itself in performance. Now I share this knowledge with everyone who will listen. How many believe my words and put them into practice I do not know. I only know that man finds it hard to keep the tense. Religious leaders speak of God in the third person as if he were on the outside, yet I tell you he comes from within. When Moses heard the words: "I AM has sent me unto you," it seemed to come from without, yet it was whispered from within."

Vedic Prosperity Manifesting Mantra

Another Vedic prosperity manifesting mantra.
The mantra is "Om Shrim Maha Lakshmiyei Swaha" (Foundation Abundance)

Pronounced "OM SHREEM MA-ha LOCK-shmee-YAY SWA-ha"

Okay for some reason I'm not even gonna pretend to understand, If you have not yet had your 28th birthday, you do not use the
above mantra. Use the following one instead: "Om Shrim Maha Lakshmiyei
Namaha."
Pronounced "OM SHREEM MA-ha LOCK-shmee-YAY NOM-uh-HA"
Maybe someone out there knows why.

Now, you repeat the mantra 108 times in a session, twice each day. You can get the mala beads I mentioned in another post ( or make your own) or you could set a timer for 15 or 20 minutes or just repeat the mantra for a length of time that feels right.
At least daily.
Or you could silently recite mantras constantly ( similar to Neville's constant prayer) all day long.

MANIFESTING
(as described by Neville Goddard)
Revision 12/09/2003
By Shawn Regan

The 10 aspects of correct manifesting

7. Inner Dialog

"Your inner speech is perpetually written all around you in happenings.
Learn to relate these happenings to your inner speech and you will become self-taught." - Neville

It is important to become aware of the thoughts running through one's mind.
Observing the mind is difficult but can be achieved through non-judgmental detached observation of one’s self.


"An uncritical observation of our inner talking will reveal to us the ideas from which we view the world." – Neville

"Take yourself in hand and uncritically observe your thoughts and reactions to life. Don't condemn your thoughts, but subdue them." – Neville

Easier is to be on watch for one's negativity.
It is important to remove attention to all negative thoughts from one's mind.
When a negative thought enters the mind, and your mind is so trained,
instead of indulging and identifying with the thought you immediately place your attention on something positive. Some will use this reflex to place their attention back to the "I Am" or their idea of God, others will turn their perspective on the negative idea to positive trying to see the positive aspect of what they had perceived negatively.

"You deny a thing by taking your attention away from it. To drop a thing, problem or ego from consciousness you dwell upon God - God being I AM." - Neville

"…in as much as the state with which we are identified mirrors itself in our inner speech, then to change the state with which we are fused,
we must first change our inner talking." - Neville

"Stop all of the old mechanical negative inner talking and start a new positive and constructive inner speech from premises of fulfilled desire." - Neville

"Through controlled inner talking from premises of fulfilled desire, seeming miracles are performed." - Neville

"All of us can realize our objectives by the wise use of mind and speech.
Most of us are totally unaware of the mental activity which goes on within us. But to play the game of life successfully, we must become aware of our every mental activity, for this activity, in the form of inner conversations,
is the cause of the outer phenomena of our life." – Neville

The 10 aspects of correct manifesting


2. Meditation

"In fact, the greater energies of the mind seldom break forth save when the body is stilled and the door of the senses closed to the objective world." -Neville

Neville talks about achieving a type of "controlled waking dream" where one is maintaining the feeling of the wish fulfilled while shutting down the bodily senses.
With the senses quiet one can connect deeper with the powers of imaginal manifestation.

"It is a state in which you are conscious and quite able to move or open your eyes but have no desire to do so." - Neville

"Drowsiness facilitates change because it favors attention without effort.
But it must not be pushed to the state of sleep,
for then you are no longer able to control your movements.

The most effective way to embody a desire is to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and then, in a relaxed and drowsy state, repeat a short phrase over and over again like a lullaby. Say, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you,’ as though you were addressing a higher power, thanking him for giving you your desire." - Neville

"Your future is best changed when you control your thoughts while in a state akin to sleep, for then effort is reduced to its minimum.
In that state your attention is relaxed, yet controlled within the feeling without being forced or using effort.
Imagination, not will power will create reality." - Neville

"With the body immobilized, feel the greater you come out of your physical body and perform the proposed motion.
If you are going to walk, do not see yourself do it, but feel you are walking.
If you are going to climb stairs, feel yourself climbing." - Neville

“My third way of praying is simply to feel thankful.
If I want something either for myself or another, I immobilize the physical body, produce the state akin to sleep and just feel happy and thankful. Having assumed the feeling of the wish fulfilled,
with my mind dominated by this single sensation, I go to sleep.” – Neville

" Feeling is the Secret" by Neville Goddard, part 4

II. Sleep

SLEEP, the life that occupies one-third of our stay on earth, is the natural door into the subconscious.
So it is with sleep that we are now concerned. The conscious two-thirds of our life on earth is measured by the degree of attention we give sleep. Our understanding of and delight in what sleep has to bestow will cause us, night after night, to set out for it as though we were keeping an appointment with a lover.
“In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumbering upon the bed; then he openeth the ears of men and sealeth their instruction.” Job 33. It is in sleep and in prayer (or meditation), a state akin to sleep, that man enters the subconscious to make his I'm ressions and receive his instructions. In these states the conscious and subconscious are creatively joined. The male and female become one flesh.
Sleep is the time when the male or conscious mind turns from the world of sense to seek its lover or subconscious self. The subconscious unlike the woman of the world who marries her husband to change him has no desire to change the conscious, waking state, but loves it as it is and faithfully reproduces its likeness in the outer world of form. The conditions and events of your life are your children formed from the molds of your subconscious I'm ressions in sleep. They are made in the image and likeness of your innermost feeling that they may reveal you to yourself.
“As in heaven so on earth.” As in the subconscious so on earth. Whatever you have in consciousness as you go to sleep is the measure of your expression in the waking two-thirds of your life on earth. Nothing stops you from realizing your objective save your failure to feel that you are already that which you wish to be, or that you are already in possession of the thing sought.
Your subconscious gives form to your desires only when you feel your wish fulfilled.
The unconsciousness of sleep is the normal state of the subconscious.
Because all things come from within yourself, and your conception of yourself determines that which comes, you should always feel the wish fulfilled before you drop off to sleep. You never draw out of the deep of yourself that which you want; you always draw that which you are, and you are that which you feel yourself to be as well as that which you feel as true of others.
To be realized, then, the wish must be resolved into the feeling of being or having or witnessing the state sought. This is accomplished by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled. The feeling which comes in response to the question “How would I feel were my wish realized ?” is the feeling which should monopolize and immobilize your attention as you relax into sleep. You must be in the consciousness of being or having that which you want to be or to have before you drop off to sleep.
Once asleep man has no freedom of choice. His entire slumber is dominated by his last waking concept of self. It follows, therefore, that he should always assume the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction before he retires in sleep.
“Come before me with singing and thanksgiving.”
“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise.”
Your mood prior to sleep defines your state of consciousness as you enter into the presence of your everlasting lover, the subconscious. She sees you exactly as you feel yourself to be.

"Feeling is the Secret" by Neville Goddard

Law and Its Operation (part 1)

Foreword

This book is concerned with the art of realizing your desire.
It gives you an account of the mechanism used in the production of the visible world. It is a small book but not slight. There is a treasure in it, a clearly defined road to the realization of your dreams.
Were it possible to carry conviction to another by means of reasoned arguments and detailed instances this book would be many times its size. It is seldom possible, however, to do so by means of written statements or arguments since to the suspended judgment it always seems plausible to say that the author was dishonest or deluded, and, therefore, his evidence was tainted.
Consequently, I have purposely omitted all arguments and testimonials, and simply challenge the open-minded reader to practice the law of consciousness as revealed in this book. Personal success will prove far more convincing than all the books that could be written on the subject.

I. Law and Its Operation

The world, and all within it, is man’s conditioned consciousness objectified.
Consciousness is the cause as well as the substance of the entire world. So it is to consciousness that we must turn if we would discover the secret of creation.
Knowledge of the law of consciousness and the method of operating this law will enable you to accomplish all you desire in life. Armed with a working knowledge of this law, you can build and maintain an ideal world.
Consciousness is the one and only reality, not figuratively but actually.
This reality may for the sake of clarity be likened unto a stream which is divided into two parts, the conscious and the sub-conscious. In order to intelligently operate the law of consciousness it is necessary to understand the relationship between the conscious and the subconscious.
The conscious is personal and selective, the subconscious is I'm ersonal and nonselective.
The conscious is the realm of effect; the subconscious is the realm of cause. These two aspects are the male and female divisions of consciousness. The conscious is male; the subconscious is female. The conscious generates ideas and I'm resses these ideas on the subconscious; the subconscious receives ideas and gives form and expression to them.
By this law, first conceiving an idea and then I'm ressing the idea conceived on the subconscious will make all things evolve out of consciousness and manifest in our 3D reality; and without this sequence there is not anything made that is made.
The conscious I'm resses the subconscious while the subconscious expresses all that is I'm ressed upon it.
The subconscious does not originate ideas but accepts as true those which the conscious mind feels to be true and in a way known only to itself objectifies the accepted ideas. Therefore, through his power to imagine and feel and his freedom to choose the idea he will entertain, man has control over creation. Control of the subconscious is accomplished through control of your ideas and feelings.
The mechanism of creation is hidden in the very depth of the subconscious, the female aspect or womb of creation. The subconscious transcends reason and is independent of induction. It contemplates a feeling as a fact existing within itself and on this assumption proceeds to give expression to it. The creative process begins with an idea and its cycle runs its course as a feeling and ends in a volition to act.
Ideas are I'm ressed on the subconscious through the medium of feeling.
No idea can be I'm ressed on the subconscious until it is felt, but once felt - be it good, bad or indifferent - it must be expressed.
Feeling is the one and only medium through which ideas are conveyed to the subconscious. Therefore, the man who does not control his feeling may easily I'm ress the subconscious with undesirable states. By control of feeling is not meant restraint or suppression of your feeling, but rather the disciplining of self to imagine and entertain only such feeling as contributes to your happiness. Control of your feeling is all I'm ortant to a full and happy life.
Never entertain an undesirable feeling nor think sympathetically about wrong in any shape or form. Do not dwell on the I'm erfection of yourself or others, to do so is to I'm ress the subconscious with these limitations. What you do not want done unto you, do not feel that it is done unto you or another. This is the whole law of a full and happy life. Everything else is commentary.
Every feeling makes a subconscious Impression and unless it is counteracted by a more powerful feeling of an opposite nature must be expressed. The dominant of two feelings is the one expressed. I am healthy is a stronger feeling than I will be healthy. To feel I will be is to confess I am not; I am is stronger than I am not. What you feel you are always dominates what you feel you would like to be; therefore, to be realized the wish must be felt as a state that is rather than a state that is not.
Sensation precedes manifestation and is the foundation upon which all manifestation rests. Be careful of your moods and feelings, for there is an unbroken connection between your feelings and your visible world. Your body is an emotional filter and bears the unmistakable marks of your prevalent emotions. Emotional disturbances, especially suppressed emotions, are the causes of all disease.

Manifesting Your Heart's Desire, part 4

I talked to other people that seemed to find it easier than many others they knew to manifest things. They too had many of the same questions as me. Why is it that some people are able to manifest all really wonderful things while others struggle? Why is it that we are able to manifest to a certain extent and then find it difficult to go beyond that? And if we can harness what we ARE doing right, can we teach it to others? And in this teaching to others, can we go beyond what we already are able to manifest and pull everyone else along with us that is also willing to go beyond, making it that much easier for them?
Hence this experiment.

Heaven knows I don't have all the answers myself. I keep experimenting with different things the Grandfathers and my other Guides and Angels suggest and I throw those things out in my newsletters to see if others might find them helpful. I read every book, listen to every tape, visit websites, any source where I can find out about and learn more on this manifesting business and Universal Law. I meditate on it almost daily. I ask for validations and signs. How can we make it quicker and easier? And is it even okay to ask that it does become easier? The response to this last question was to my mind most profound. For what I heard was "The more that each of you feels you are totally capable of creating anything that you desire, the faster
you will have peace and the faster Humankind will evolve". Sounds like a good reason to me!

On the next page and hopefully other pages to come, I shall be listing different things that I have been working with that have helped me manifest all the good that is already in my life. Some of the tools I shall offer are books, essences, affirmations, audio tapes, websites, crystals, anything that I come across that has been helpful for me and others. Yet I also don't want this to just be about me throwing things out there. I also want to hear from those of you that desire to
participate in this experiment as I shall be outlining below. What works for you? If you use any of the techniques or resources that will be outlined in the weeks and months to come, what have your results been? I would really like to be able to upload everyone's comments, suggestions and tools that they have used to these pages so that they may benefit others. Perhaps there can even be a questions and answers page though I do ask that others please do feel free to answer
questions as well for surely I sI'm ly cannot do it all myself. You can submit questions and answers to me and I will be happy to upload them as quickly as I can. If you do not want your name to be use, I will designate you as Anonymous though please be sure to let me know!

Manifestation, part 9

The Journey is the Reward

Of course, it is a lot of fun to actually LIVE in that new house rather than just DREAM about it, but this universe is set up so that you cannot live your dream until you are at the exact feeling place you would be if you WERE living it.

In effect, you have to already BE living it before it can manifest. That's because we live in a universe where everything in existence has a unique pattern of vibration, and the universe is set up to always match vibration.

If you are doing this process correctly, it will feel good even though what you want hasn't yet come. In other words, it should feel good to want the thing you want! If what you want makes you feel uncomfortable, then find something else to feel good about. Since what
you want feels good, that means you can feel good about anything and still receive what you want. It's easier to manifest anything by feeling good than by feeling crummy!

If you are undertaking the creative process just for the manifestation, there will be a lot of frustration, for you will look at where you are now and where you want to be, and there will be a big chasm there. You will say something like "I don't like this apartment. It sucks. It would feel a whole lot better if I had a lot of money. Then I could get a house". That energetic chasm of unmatched vibration makes it Impossible for a vibrational match, and so you do not manifest.

When an artist paints a great painting, she is not bitching and complaining the whole time because the painting is not complete! She is throwing herself into the creative process with verve and gusto, and having a great time with the work. That is how the creative process should feel.

The creative process is all about making something different from the currently experienced reality, so do not focus so much on your current experience! You must deliberately create the vibration of where you want to be, even while living in the current experience, and you can
only do that by imagining, pretending, feeling and visualizing your desire as if you already had it. This is fun!

The journey is the reward, and the manifestation is just the reason for the journey! Because there will always be another journey, and another manifestation. The process is ongoing, eternal. It never gets done, that's what eternal means --- continuous creation.

So have fun creating, and receive everything you desire!

Manifestation,part 7

Background Theory

Everything in existence has a unique pattern of vibration. Humans are vibrational interpreters. Matter is full of holes (the atom is 99% space) so why do we perceive it as solid? The ONLY reason we perceive all of that space (matter) as solid is because we are vibrationally tuned in to it. That vibrational tuning is also how we perceive and manifest into our physical experience. Buckminster Fuller made this clear in his masterwork called Synergetics
It's all about vibration, and energy alignment to the vibration of the thing that is wanted.

The Value of Action

Sometimes taking action before your energy is lined up can help jar you into better creating, but this is usually a sign that afterwards you still need to do some more work clarifying your visualization. Sometimes just getting off your butt and into a little action can be a good thing, even if it is ineffective action! It can help to break up old energy patterns. But remember that the universe will always answer your vibration, so if your energy is not lined up with your goal, it won't come to you precisely as intended. It will come with all of the other I'm urities mixed up with it in your thought stream. This is the most frustrating part about the creative process, because we THINK we have our energy all lined up, but what we get is not a match to our intention.

By examining what did manifest, we can identify old beliefs and feelings and further clarify our visualization.

Don't give up just because you have been at it for a while and still haven't received! Continue the process of aligning your energy and when it feels better, go into action again and observe the results. When your energy is fully a vibrational match to your desire, you will feel it. You will KNOW it. After that, you know it will come, and the game is over! You've won.

Usually, any action taken out of a sense that "it has to be done" is a sign that you have not aligned your energy clearly enough to your goal. Under these conditions, you will struggle to a slight or great degree. Here's an example: I decided to raise my prices in my contracting work last summer. But I didn't really believe that the market could support it. So every time I bid a job at the new price, I never got it. Funny how that works. Because my energy was not lined up, I continued to attract the clients that were only willing to pay me at the old rates. It was only after I went back and removed some of my old beliefs about my self worth and about money, over the holidays, that I was able to bid these jobs comfortably. Now, I am not quite so booked, but I am working at my new, higher rates. If my energy was completely aligned to my goal, I would be overflowing with customers at the new rates.

So I know I still have some work to do!

Part Three: Where has all the Magic Gone?

I think that down deep we, as a people, fear the idea of being made in
the image and likeness of God. I think we fear being of the same Being
as God. We fear being that drop of ocean. Because, really, if we are
just like God, something is really wrong here. Our world is chock full
of problems" misery, poverty, sickness, hate, destruction.
Granted, humanity has demonstrated wonderful things throughout
history, but has also demonstrated great horrors. Brutal, senseless,
evil horrors. So the thought of Man being one with God is a very scary
thing indeed. Somebody or something has got to be better and more
powerful than we are. Oddly, denying our own power is the only way we
can feel safe in this world.

Maybe we should give up the self-judgment and take Gods word
for it - we have power that we are not aware of. Or, since people have
historically demonstrated feats of magic, maybe I should say that we
were once aware of it but, over the years, our own logic has obscured
it from our consciousness.

It seems that at some point in time, we began to move away from the
idea of being magic, of having mental control over the physical world.
Religious leaders not only deemed it an evil ritual but also
persecuted those that attempted to practice their personal power. At
roughly the same time, people became more inquisitive of the workings
of the physical world and turned to the scientific method. We became
more and more logical, needing empirical evidence to back our beliefs.
Our pursuit of science took us further and further away from the
reality of humans performing magic but is now beginning to
take us closer and closer again.

Part Two: Where has all the Magic Gone?

Throughout history, magic has had a place in religion as well.
Christianity is no different, though no one really looks at
Christianity in this type of light. After all, wasn't it magic
when Jesus turned water into wine? Wasn't it magic when he fed
hundreds of people with several fish and a few loaves of bread?
Wasn't it magic when he walked on water? What else can you
really call it? Religious leaders don't call it magic, they
call it a miracle. If we define magic as the ability to have mental
control over the physical world, then a miracle is magic practiced by
God. But the religious leaders throughout our history have said that
only God can have this power. Normal people are not allowed to perform
these spectacular feats because it is blasphemous and offensive to
God. It is evil. Yet God never said that was the case. Contrarily, he
said the opposite" that man and God are one, that Man is made
in His exact image and likeness, that what He can do we can do. Much
like a drop of ocean is not the entire ocean, but is an individualized
portion of the ocean and has the exact same attributes. And even
though God has given us this message throughout the ages, Man
disagrees. It is Man that has said that magic is glorious when God
performs it, but evil when Man performs it.

So why would we turn away from a power that we desperately want and
are told that we have?

Part One: Where Has the Magic Gone?

"We all accept the reality with
which we are presented."
The Truman Show

Part One: Where Has the Magic Gone?
-Jeff Thornton

The overwhelming success of the Harry Potter books and the recent
release of the movie, to which people are flocking in droves, has
gotten me thinking about society's fascination with magic. Of
course, Harry Potter is just the latest entertainment success playing
on the magical theme. There have been many others, surely more than I
know. The Jedi Knights of Star Wars performed a type of magic by
working with the Force and we all know how popular Star Wars was and
still remains. I Dream of Jeanie, Bewitched, and Sabrina the Teenage
Witch all gained huge success on television. Magic is an integral part
of the Lord of the Rings novels, and has become a principal theme of
the fantasy genre as a whole.

So why do we love the idea of being able to snap our fingers, twitch
our noses, or blink our eyes and have whatever we want whenever we
want it? It's undeniably appealing.

These novels, movies, and television shows are so successful because
they demonstrate the type of power we all want. We'd all like
to be able to manifest things right out of thin air. We'd all
like to be able to move things with our minds. We all want to have
mental command of our physical world. And, strangely, it almost feels
like we should be able to do these wonderful things, "like it's
somehow our birthright." ( quotation marks mine!)

Certainly we are not the first culture to connect with the concept of
magic. Stories of people who could perform physically impossible feats
have traveled down through history to us. Magic was an integral part
of the history of the ancient Egyptians, the ancient Mesopotamians,
the Persians, Greeks, Druids, and Celts, not to mention the more
commonly known legends of medieval Europe.

Can these stories be just the whimsical fantasies of a people long
past, a people entrenched in a difficult life and just simply wishing
for the power to make it better? And is that why we love these stories
so much because we wish life could be easier for us? Or is
our emotional connection with the concept of magic an intuitive
feeling, a subconscious knowing, of what we, as humans, are actually
capable of being?

How to Allow For More in Your Life Right Away, Part 3

And now, here is the powerful way: Embrace that which you hate or fear, own it and accept it with self-honesty for you cannot change that which you avoid. This will reveal the secrets and gifts of that reality and show you insights you never saw when you were resisting. Also, automatically, this makes room for it’s opposite to manifest in your reality. You need do nothing for this to start happening. And as it starts, you will notice changes in your life outside and in your mind and emotions. The first change will be inner calm, followed by external changes. Notice these and move into them, giving them your attention, and making this reality grow. So now you will begin to be surrounded by the two realities, initially both at first. For example, if you were fighting against poverty and then embraced it, new insights would arise and you would know yourself as Who You Really Are in relation to poverty (you would discover that you are not a victim, you would free yourself from limiting ideas). Then, as you embrace that and drop the resistance you had to it, abundance will start to creep into your life automatically. Initially, they will be both the remnants of poverty manifesting in your reality, and the new reality. The more you embrace and allow, the better it get. Now, the most important thing: See and understand the connection between the two sides! How are they related in relation to you? You will start to see, for example, that you create realities. You will start to see the connections between your thoughts and emotions and specific ideas in you, and your out reality. This is how you get to grow into a more deliberate creator. By understanding the inherent order and simple perfection that lies amidst the apparent chaos and contradiction of the two seemingly opposite realities, you know yourself and the source of both sides! Thus you find yourself in the middle, the middle of the infinity symbol. And this is where the powerful way lies.

From then on, that aspect of life becomes effortless! Where have you heard this before? The rags to riches story! We have all heard of how people went through rather troubling times only to emerge at the other end with victory that we all wish we had! That person can be you, everyone, simply by letting life through. You gain control of your life by letting go of the need to control it, for you have no needs, just desires. And there goes another paradox of two seemingly opposite ideas, one which you can only understand fully by embracing and experiencing both sides so as to emerge in the middle, the point of power and understanding!

How to Allow For More in Your Life Right Away, Part 2

Life happens through you but never to you. This automatically means that you create your reality, consciously and unconsciously or even from your Higher Self, but only you create your reality.

Now think of something in your life that you are currently pushing against, resisting, perhaps even hating. Now we will first brush over the inefficient way of handling this. The inefficient way is one which we are all very familiar with, because we think it works! What we do is resist and fight against that which we don’t like. This is inefficient because, by universal law, what you resist persists. That is so because whatever you give your attention to grows. So if your mind and emotions are on that which you hate, you only expand it. And that is why the vast majority of humanity appears to be stuck in various struggles every now and then. These struggles are unnecessary. You do not get peace by hating and fighting against war; you get it by focusing on peace everywhere. If you don’t believe this, imagine what would happen in your family if you tried to attain peace by force or by keeping peace within your on self and with others. Which would be more effective? Now multiply that on a global scale.

So what is the efficient powerful way then? First, let us quickly define realities. You have the reality you are resisting, you have the opposite reality that you desire and are trying to get to, and then you have a third reality of creative power that you only get to when you embrace both of the first two realities. It is like having the coin’s head as one reality, the tail as another, and the whole coin and the spending power as the third.
