Download Bewusstsein ist alles: Erfolgsüberzeugt vom erfüllten Wunsch by Neville Goddard,Benno Schmid-Wilhelm PDF

By Neville Goddard,Benno Schmid-Wilhelm

Dieses Buch von Neville Goddard, 1952 verfasst, ermöglicht den Leserinnen und Lesern, die aus einer sehr starren und dogmatischen religiösen Erziehung ausbrechen wollen, eine Neuorientierung und pragmatische Anwendung der spirituellen Lehren, um mithilfe einer einfachen und jahrtausendealten Formel ihre Wünsche zu erfüllen.
Der Verfasser zeigt auf, wie wir unseren Bewusstseinszustand und unser Selbstbild zu den entscheidenden Faktoren im Leben machen. Ein anderes Selbstbild führt zu einer anderen Weltsicht und zu anderen Erlebnissen. Das Bewusstsein ist die einzige Realität und die einzige Ursache für die Erscheinungen des Lebens.
Neville Goddard belegt, dass wir uns nicht nach den Vorgaben äußerer Doktrinen oder abstrakter Theorien zu richten brauchen, sondern dass jeder Mensch in sich selbst bereits alles trägt, was once er für ein erfülltes Leben braucht. Der Verfasser zieht als Belege sowohl Bibelstellen als auch die Macht der zielgerichteten Vorstellungskraft heran. Er begreift die Bibel nicht als geschichtliche Erzählung, sondern als psychologisches Lehrbuch. Jedes einzelne Gleichnis spielt sich im Menschen selbst ab, unabhängig davon, wie viele Gestalten oder Ereignisse in die jeweilige Geschichte hineingebracht wurden. Diese biblischen Gestalten haben niemals leibhaftig gelebt, sondern personifizieren nur Bewusstseinszustände. Die Erlöserkraft ist die Macht der geistigen Vorstellung. In 27 Kapiteln, welche – mit Ausnahme des Kapitels über Erfahrungsberichte – meist nur 1 bis four Seiten umfassen, vermittelt Neville Goddard ein völliges neues und erfrischendes Bibelbild, das nichts mit einem äußeren Gott zu tun hat. Er beschreibt, used to be die Verfasser der Bibel wirklich ausdrücken wollten, worauf es bei der erfolgreichen Wunscherfüllung ankommt, woran es liegt, wenn sich der Wunsch trotz beharrlicher Umsetzung der Formel nicht erfüllt hat und wieso sich eine diszipliniert und gläubig aufrecht gehaltene gefühlvolle Prämisse zur rechten Zeit unweigerlich als physische Realität zeigen muss.
