Esau-Jacob-Israel |
The one that comes first – Esau, the elder – and he serves the younger. Who is he? What is Jacob’s name? The supplanter. He looks at the world and he doesn’t like it. Like that vision I had on Fifth Avenue. Looking at an empty lot I would say: “I remember when it was an empty lot.” It still is an empty lot to my outer senses, but I am not interested in my outer senses. I would build a word picture as I desired this lot to be. I would say: “I remember when it was an empty lot,” and still to outer appearances it is an empty lot, but not to me or to those who had that so-called dream. That is… |

Speaking from Experience |
I woke, it was about three in the morning, and I wrote the entire vision out. Then I went back to bed and re-dreamed the dream, but this time as I re-dreamed it I was grandfather. I had so completely absorbed the message that I found myself in the same mansion with the same people and I told them that I remember when I’m standing on an empty lot, “I remember when this was an empty lot.” Then I would paint the word picture of my desire for that lot and paint it so vividly, so graphically they all saw it. And then I woke. |

The Law |
Let me go back to a thought that came a few years ago from Robert Frost, he said, “The founding fathers did not believe in the future, they believed it in.” The greatest thing and the most creative thing in man is to believe a thing in. |

The Law |
Well, I have heard that word time and time again, and I try every time that I hear it to reach anyone I’m telling. Well, here is one…and many of you present heard it a few years ago…one morning, early in the morning, I had this experience. I’m standing in an enormous mansion on Fifth Avenue in New York City and three generations are supposed to be present. One is invisible—-he is spoken of as “Grandfather.” There are two generations, the second and the third, and the second generation is telling the story of Grandfather. The second one tells this story, “Grandfather used to say while standing… |

I Remember When |
When one receives a great revelation concerning the creative power of God, they cannot keep it to themselves. I do not believe that many of you ever heard this before, for it came to me many years ago. If you did hear it, hear it for the second time, and I’m quite sure you were not taking recordings of the talks. I do not think you have it on tape. But it is truly a great revelation concerning how to create in this wonderful world of ours. Many years ago I found myself in spirit in the interior of one of the great mansions on 5th Avenue in New York City, the mansions that lined the avenue at… |

I Remember When |
And so, this is something revealed to me many years ago. And the mere fact that I returned to bed and re-dreamed the dream affirmed it and made it principle, the principle. You can’t rub out principle. This is something that everyone can prove. |

All Things Are Possible to Him Who Believes |
Now, we are told that God, who is my own wonderful human Imagination, speaks to me and speaks to you through the medium of dream, and reveals himself in vision. One night it was shown me so clearly how to do it. I found myself in New York City on 5th Avenue at the turn of the century in one enormous mansion. And here in this mansion there were two generations, but they spoke of a third. The third was invisible…that was the grandfather. They spoke of grandfather or father depending upon which generation spoke. Here, this enormous mansion…everything that money could buy is in the mansion. This… |

The Potter's House |
Well, many years ago I had this vision. I was taken in spirit in what would be the turn of the Century in New York City on Fifth Avenue, when they had these huge palatial homes, fully staffed, for these great financial giants of the day. This was before income taxes took it from them. If you made ten million, you kept ten million. You spent it, but you didn’t pay anything in income taxes. So, these palatial homes were all on Fifth Avenue, and they kept their stables on the West Side. They were enormous homes. A few were left when I came to New York City in 1922. The Vanderbilts and the Astors… |
