This is a double entendre. I am going to show you the two ways you can interpret, how to imagine in reality.
Neville covered the story of the founding fathers of the United States by quoting Robert Frost, from an interview with Time magazine. The exact quote, "Our founding fathers did not believe in the future,
they believed it in." Neville goes on to say they brought in the government they desired through their power of belief. What they imagined was reality, in their minds. They beheld it as completely natural. And it manifested!
“The time it takes your assumption to become fact, your desire to be
fulfilled, is directly proportionate to the NATURALNESS of your feeling of already being what you want to be." ~The Power of Awareness
Imagine in reality by making your imagination as ordinary as you can, just a fact of your life, the same as your name. Imagining in reality brings your reality in, you are believing it in.
But it doesn't feel natural, how do I achieve the naturalness of feeling? By persistence, by creating a scene or scenes that imply your desired reality is fulfilled in the third dimension. You simply occupy the desired state. Frequent occupation leads to naturalness of feeling. You are breaking it in until it feels so natural it becomes your nature. It becomes your reality.
But! but! but! Forget all the buts, disregard everything in the outer world that contradicts your reality, be faithful only to YOUR REALITY! You are believing it in by believing in it.
And oh, that scene or those scenes can be so much fun. How's your imagination today? Have fun with it and do it all, just for fun. One week I had fun by affirming, I attract a lot of money. I said it off and on that week, laughing every time I said it. I did not take into account how I would get money, I just affirmed it. The following Tuesday I was doing some self-love affirmations. One of the affirmations was, something amazing happens to me today. I said it three or four times, in a happy state, then I dropped it, the same way I had dropped, I attract a lot of money. I did it all for fun. That very day I received a check in the mail for $724. I could never have devised how it came, and it did not matter, I had $724 in my hand.
Have fun imagining, and just as the founding fathers believed it in, you have imagined your reality in (believed it in) through imagining in reality (the naturalness of your desire).

Scripting According to Neville
What does Neville have to say about scripting, and why am I writing this?
Neville has plenty to say about scripting, and uses examples in his teachings to show us the power of scripting.
One of the first examples I can think of is the script writer in Hollywood. His producer had ever only called his scripts good. By the power of imagining the script writer took the producer from saying, good, to saying, absolutely sensational. By the power of imagining the script writer advanced his producer to go from good to great, then to absolutely sensational.
Another example was of the woman who had a rift between her, and her son, her daughter-in-law, and grandson. She desired reconciliation, so she wrote herself 2 letters, one from her daughter-in-law, expressing they missed her, and one from her grandson, saying, I love you Grandmother, thanking her for a birthday present, and telling her he had also missed her. Every day she reread the letters, feeling the joy of them. On the eighth day the exact letters she had written to herself came in her mail. Written by her daughter-in-law and grandson, they were identical to the letters she had written.
This quote from Neville nicely encapsulates scripting~"Take the conversations with your friends today, were they pleasant, were they arguments, no matter what it is, were they negative?
Then Rewrite the SCRIPT and just imagine the conversation to have taken place that now you are rewriting for the first time. And it will take place, for everything in your world that you behold, though it appears without, it is within, in your imagination. And this wonderful imagination of yours is Christ Jesus. Imagination is the actual habitation of every created thing. No matter what you see in the world, it springs from your imagination." The Pruning Shears of Revision
Which brings me to the point of this article. We are instructed to rewrite the script, not to keep dwelling on the same old script.
Recently, I wrote a post because I noticed a trend of complaining posts. This is what I wrote. I am going to write a book called The Ten Commandments of Neville Goddard. Here is the first commandment. Thou shalt not get online and script out the 3D reality that opposes one's desire. We know by the previous examples cited that scripting is powerful. What do you think the power of physically writing out grievances does? It impresses the mind with the old story. Nothing in the world will change, if one keeps dwelling on the old story. As a matter of fact, we know by the example of the imaginal letter writing that whatever we impress on our minds becomes 3D reality.
Everything in our world starts inside, in our own imagination. If change is desired it starts within. Repent means to change your mind. So change your mind inside, and the outside will reflect the change. Script a new story. Thank you, for my wonderful life, full of abundance and love. Script a new story and watch it unfold. Your mind is a garden, hedge it about with love and fill it with lovely thoughts, and you will find the most beautiful things happen when you write a beautiful script.
Blessings to every one of you.

Reap What You Sow
Sow an imaginary conversation, you reap an act;
Sow an act, you reap a habit;
Sow a habit, you reap a character;
Sow a character, you reap your destiny.~Neville Goddard, By Imagination We Become
This very part was really impressed upon my mind. It made me think, what are we attached to? Neville talks about our moods, he says, Moods are imaginal activities without which no creation is possible. We say that we are happy because we have achieved our goal; we do not realize that the process works equally well in the reverse direction — that we shall achieve our goal because we have assumed the happy feeling of the wish fulfilled.
We are always sowing imaginary conversations in our heads, about ourselves and about others. To say, I am loved produces the act of security in us. If we continuously think lovely things about ourselves, it becomes a habit, and if something pops up and we think the opposite of I am loved, such as I am not wanted, we will automatically reject that opposite. We have established the habit of thinking the best about ourselves. It permeates our conscious and subconscious. I have experienced it while asleep, my subconscious rejected a negative thought while I was dreaming. So now we have sown the habit of only accepting and believing the best about ourselves, we begin to always act in that character, I Am love, I Am loved, I Am wanted. The mood we started with now determines our life and how it goes. Neville quoted Sir Winston Churchill in The Law and the Promise, the moods decide the fortunes of the people not the fortunes decide the mood. We are determining our destiny through our moods. This is a little story from The Law and the Promise. I hope you enjoy it......
The lady in the following story so successfully felt the feeling of her wish fulfilled, she made her mood the character of the night — frozen in a delightful dream.
"Most of us read and love fairy stories, but we all know that stories of improbable riches and good fortune are for the delight of the very young. But are they? I want to tell you of something unbelievably wonderful that happened to me through the power of my imagination — and I am not 'young' in years.
We live in an age which believes in neither fable nor magic, and yet everything I could possibly want in my wildest day-dreams was given to me by the simple use of what you teach — that 'imagining creates reality' and that 'feeling' is the secret of imagining.
"At the time this wonderful thing happened to me I was out of a job and had no family to fall back upon for support. I needed just about everything. To find a decent job I needed a car to look for it, and though I had a car, it was so worn out it was ready to fall apart. I was behind in my rent; I had no proper clothes to seek a job; and today it's no fun for a woman of fifty-five to apply for a job of any kind. My bank account was almost depleted and there was no friend to whom I could turn.
"But I had been attending your lectures for almost a year and my desperation forced me to put my imagination to the test. Indeed, I had nothing to lose. It was natural for me, I suppose, to begin by imagining myself having everything I needed. But I needed so many things and in such short order that I found myself exhausted when I finally got through the list, and by that time I was so nervous I could not sleep. One lecture night I heard you tell of an artist who captured the 'feeling', or 'word', as you called it, of 'isn't it wonderful!' in his personal experience.
"I began to apply this idea to my case. Instead of thinking of and imagining every article I needed, I tried to capture the 'feeling' that something wonderful was happening to me — not tomorrow, not next week — but right now.
I would say over and over to myself as I fell asleep, 'Isn't it wonderful! Something marvelous is happening to me now!' And as I fell asleep I would feel the way I would expect to feel under such circumstances.
"I repeated that imaginary action and feeling for two months, night after night, and one day in early October I met a casual friend I hadn't seen for months who informed me he was about to leave on a trip to New York. I had lived in New York many years ago and we talked of the city a few moments and then parted. I completely forgot the incident. One month later, to the day, this man called at my apartment and simply handed me a Certified Check in my name for twenty-five hundred dollars. After I got over the initial shock of seeing my name on a check for so much money, the story that unfolded seemed to me like a dream. It concerned a friend I had not seen nor heard from in more than twenty-five years. This friend of my past, I now learned, had become extremely wealthy in those twenty-five years. Our mutual acquaintance who had brought the check to me had met him quite by accident during the trip to New York last month. During their conversation they spoke of me, and for reasons I was not to know (for to this day I have not heard from him personally and have never attempted to contact him) this old friend decided to share a portion of his great wealth with me.
"For the next two years, from the office of his attorney, I received monthly checks so generous in amount they not only covered every necessary requirement of daily living, but left much over for all the lovely things of life: a car, clothes, a spacious apartment — and best of all, no need to earn my daily bread.
"This past month I received a letter and some legal papers to be signed which provide the continuation of this monthly income for the rest of my natural life!" ...T.K.
By the repetitive action of identification with the state sought, that of abundance, the feeling of that state became the mood occupying this lady's mind. Through her mood she appropriated the character and determined her own destiny, fulfilling that which only started out as an imaginal act.
As Neville said, "An assumption, if persisted in, will harden into a fact."
