Neville Goddard was on a radio program with other panelists, including a psychology professor who intended to challenge everyone. During the discussion, Neville stated his famous line, 'Imagining creates reality.'
The professor challenged Neville, giving him a yellow pencil and asking him to make it red if imagining truly creates reality. Neville responded by saying, 'Go and paint the pencil. Go in the back room and paint it red. You can make it red.'
Neville clarified that he imagines it red, even if it isn't red to the professor, and suggested that in due time, the professor might lose the yellow pencil and find a red one. He also pointed out that the professor was acting as a 'scoffer' as described in scripture, by mocking and challenging him to instantly change reality.
The video emphasizes that, like Neville, individuals will be tested when they 'assume' something and the world doesn't immediately manifest it. It poses the question: will you doubt when things don't manifest right away, or will you trust in imagination? This is the true test of belief.
Neville's teaching is reiterated: 'An assumption, though false, if persisted in, will harden into fact.' If you can accept your desire now, it will happen despite what reason or your senses tell you, because 'imagining creates reality.'
