It is quite easy for a lot of people to pass the buck when someone is not yet consciously set on a transformation of awareness. But even awakening people unconsciously pass the buck sometimes. What does it mean? This means a metaphysician or a student and expert of metaphysics is giving the responsibility of creation to someone or something else.
In a phenomenal class, Neville had trained a group of metaphysical students specifically for five days straight in 1948. In one of those classes, he said that if they were still passing the buck, then he had not convinced them of the principle that consciousness is the only cause. He said:
“The test of a teacher, or a teaching, is to be found in the faithfulness of the taught. I am leaving here on Sunday night. Do remain faithful to this instruction. If you look for causes outside the consciousness of man, then I have not convinced you of the reality of consciousness. If you look for excuses for failure, you will always find them, for you find what you seek.
jnIf you seek an excuse for failure, you will find it in the stars, in the numbers, in the tea cup, or most any place. The excuse will not be there, but you will find it to justify your failure. Successful business and professional men and women know that this law works. You will not find it in gossip groups, but you will find it in courageous hearts.” (Neville Goddard, No One to Change But Self)
Who Is a Metaphysician?
Yes, a metaphysics student is a person who sees life beyond the physical. That includes everyone who is reading this, not as a tag for you, but as a practical way you live. A pianist plays the piano. A metaphysician explores life higher than the physical world.
Metaphysicians are people who make the conscious decision to awake and stay awake. They want to take charge of creation, as everyone in this world will one day do. Yet, as much as they have the passion for awakening, these five (5) ways awakening people unconsciously pass the buck must be consciously dismissed and the solution must be procured to achieve the conscious creation objective of a metaphysician.
Five Ways Awakening People Unconsciously Pass the Buck
Here are ways metaphysicians shift responsibilities. Simply stop if you did it before.
- It’s not about the techniques; it’s about…
Without any justifications for or against techniques, remember to have results. Go with the attitude, “And so?” Get your results anyway and live on.
- Desire is lack. That’s why you’re stuck…
And what’s the mainspring of action? Desire. What are you doing holding your faculty of seeking to reach higher possibilities responsible for where you are. Get your results anyway!
- There’s a block somewhere from your past. First, remove the block…
If the result is present with you, what does a block matter? Seek to enter and dwell in the state, and all blocks will fade from your attention. Rather than pass the buck to blocks, do creation now. Get your results, and discussions will close.
- I imagined it last night, but I knew it’d not happen this morning. And it hasn’t happened until…
What are you doing remembering that you imagined it? Remembering doesn’t create reality. Imagination does! Imagining is an active, present experience. It is a present-participle. Imagine now.
- I don’t remember imagining this thing that happened. How did I cause this?
Be more interested in what you will do with yourself now than in what you said. What are you saying now? What do you want to happen now? Get that result first!
Here’s a bonus one.
- The universe could have other plans for me. Maybe I didn’t get it because something else or something better was going to happen…
What if it happened and the something else that’s better happened, too? Will you not have space for both? You are not in a sacrificial world of taking one, losing another. You’re in a creative world of making room for more. Get both results anyway in consciousness and let the universe serve your own wish to find room for them. It must obey you.
If You Seek to Pass the Buck, You Will Find the Thing to Hold Responsible
That’s what Neville said those decades ago. If you look for the excuses, you will find it. You will even find it in a teacup or in the stars. You will find it in what you did not say or in the techniques you did. But it will only show that you are still unconsciously shifting responsibility as a metaphysician.
Seek the results then. For you find what you seek. That is a great principle. Everyone finds what they seek. Set your intention on having the outcomes that are important, relevant or ideal to you. You will always find this law operating in courageous hearts, in success business and professional men and women.
Quit shifting responsibilities as a student of metaphysics. Start rising!
