Advent: The Four Tears by Neville Goddard (11-26-1963)

Neville Goddard 1963 lectures Advent, the Four Tears November 26, 1963 Remember now we're four days after JFK's incident, so we'll see if he mentions it. I know there's going to be a lecture coming up that does is not in this book, but it's basically, I think it's called where are you from? And that has going to have specifically JFK stuff in it. We'll see if it's any in this one because I haven't read it yet. Here we go. Tonight's subject is the Advent. And I'm not referring to that tremendous tragedy and great advent that all of us have experienced in this past weekend. For that really was an Advent jfk. But I'm speaking of God's Advent. Advent is the term used to designate the coming or the second coming of the Christ at the end of the age. The purpose of his coming is to redeem man from the wheel of fire. Excuse me, the wheel of fate, the will of recurrence. There's a definite pattern by which it is done. Advent will begin next Sunday in the churches. Now, this does not mean it actually begins next Sunday, but that's part of the ritual. It always starts on the Sunday nearest to the day of Andrew. Andrew's day is always the 30th day of November. And the nearest Sunday to that day begins the season of Advent. And it runs four Sundays and culminates on the day of Christmas, the birth of Christ. Because Andrew was the first in the most mystical of the Gospels to behold Jesus. Andrew first found him and told his brother Peter. And so on the day marked as Andrew's day, here comes the great watch. It is the longing for the coming of the Savior of the world. Now, man has been taught to believe that he comes from without. And the way he comes, the world finds it difficult to believe that he did come. So Andrew who found him could not have found him on the outside. And he never comes from without. The only way you will know that he came is to compare what is happening in you to what was foretold in the ancient scriptures. You go back and you read the ancient scriptures, meaning the Old Testament. And there is. And there it was all foretold, but not through any one prophet. And suddenly it happens in, in. In the individual. And he finds in the ancient scriptures confirmation of what is taking place in him. And he tells of the coming of this great event. So Advent is the coming of the great event. It's really a series of events where the structure is unveiled it's the unveiling of Christ in man. And this unveiling takes a certain series of events. It's told symbolically. And they looked at him, and then they. And then they tore his garments into four parts and each took apart. But they said, let us not tear the tunic, for it's woven without seams from top to bottom. Let us cast lots to see who will get it. John 19:23 and 24. And there were four who cast lots to see who would get it. There are always four because the fourth one falls heir to the next unveiling of the temple. For he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6. The day is not at the end of history. It is within history. It happens tonight. I hope it does to many of you. But it comes at the moment that you least expect it. When the scaffolding comes down and the scaffolding is torn apart in four parts and then the building is revealed. It's the immortal body you will wear. It's the immortal body you will wear. The same identity now, no change in identity. But with all the changes of identity, there's a radical discontinuity of form. You don't wear this form. This is. This is the scaffolding. And it is this that is torn. May I tell you, I speak from experience. I have no scars to bear witness to the tearing. But I felt and experienced and observed the tearing of this scarf, scaffold. It starts in the head. And here the very first blow is in the head. An enormous blow. You think, this is it. Meaning, well, oblivion. But it's not oblivion. Suddenly you awake and you had no idea that you were asleep. Oh, boy. Once you're outside the veil, it's hard to. You know, you go back to the movie the Matrix and you have the guy who plays kind of. I guess you could say the Judas character who reveals where Morpheus is hiding. He wants. He's eating steak and he says, put me back in the main. In the. In the mainframe, in the Matrix and just make me forget it all, you know, And. And you. You awaken. You had no idea you were asleep. It's. It's like he's trying to go back to sleep. And that. That character is in that movie. But there is no going back to sleep. It's easy to go back to sleep when you wake up in the morning. You just go back into bed. If you're still tired, you still want more sleep, go get more sleep. But Once you wake up, you're pretty much awake. It's hard to go back behind the veil. It's hard to put it back on if you really desired. Like that character in the movie. He's. He was signing his own demise, basically. So he was staying in the wheel of recurrence. That character wanted to go back into the wheel of Recurrence. Suddenly you awake and you had no idea that you were asleep. Suddenly you begin to awake for the first time in eternity. Listen to that sentence, man. Suddenly you begin to awake for the first time in eternity. You might have spent 6,000 years to get to here. Okay, so I love the way Seth puts it in that will we? I put on the board a bunch of times in the law lectures where we're reading Neville's books that wheel and I talk about each line as a self concept in the Seth material. It's translated. Each line is one of your multidimensional realities. I just mentioned this recently in a video, but I want to state it again. Each one of those lines from the middle dot, the middle dot is I am all that is God. Each line is one of your lives lived that you're this one, you're that one, you're this one, that one. Now, Seth says it's the same thing as Neville, but Seth says it specifically that you are living multiple lives, maybe even thousands of lives, just for the hope and wish that one of them gets to this place. Either in the place of the Seth material where you awake and realize you create your own reality, etc. Get out of the official line of consciousness, which is what we're doing with the Neville material. We're getting out of the official line of consciousness by becoming consciously aware of using our imagination. It's the same thing. We have spent many lives to get to one that is awake or awakening. Suddenly you awaken. You had no idea that you were asleep. Suddenly you begin to awake for the first time in eternity. Although that is measured in time, you feel you've never before been awake. Blake calls it a period of 6,000 years. I behold the visions of my deadly sleep of 6,000 years dazzling around my skirts like a serpent of precious stones and gold. I know it is myself. Oh my divine creator and redeemer. Jerusalem, plate 96. He beholds himself after 6,000 years of the most horrible dream in the world. So said he, do not let yourself be intimidated by the horror of the world. It is all ordered and correct and must fulfill its destiny in order to attain perfection. Follow this path and you will Receive from your own soul an even deeper perception of the eternal beauties of life. You will receive. Excuse me. You will also receive from your own soul an ever increasing release from what now seems to you so sad and terrible. Blake to Max Beckman Looking at modern painting. So you see the drama taking place. Here is all the scaffolding. Someone is blown apart, gone from the world. He's referring to jfk. Someone is blown apart, gone from the world. And someone played the part of blowing him apart. And then he is blown apart. All this confusion in the world, that's all the outer picture. For he who began a good work in you, not on the outside in you, is bringing it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. And he unveils in you Jesus Christ. There's only one being in this world that is ever resurrected, and that is Jesus Christ. As told us in the first epistle of Peter, the first chapter, the third verse, rebirth is through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. There is no other rebirth in the world. And yet everyone, everyone must, must be reborn. You must be born from above. For unless you are born from above, you cannot in any wise enter the kingdom of God. John 3. 3. And rebirth comes in only one respect, only in one way. And that way is through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Well then, who is Jesus Christ from the dead? It never occurred to me, raised as I was in the Christian faith, that when it happened to me, it was the resurrection of Jesus Christ. For the simple fact I was resurrected, I was awakened in a tomb and the tomb was my skull. Well, if I find myself in a tomb, I must have been dead, or someone thought me dead and placed me there. And was I placed there 6,000 years ago? Is this some strange, peculiar recurrence? Is this a mystery where a man, at the end of a few score years here is. And the body decays, and yet he doesn't. Is he placed in a peculiar wheel where he experienced death and experiences death and restoration and death and restoration and finally redemption from the wheel of fate, completely removing that individual from the wheel of recurrence. And that's what it is. So we are all on the wheel of recurrence, actually imitating the great mystery of death and restoration. Then comes that moment in time when God, as we are told, he resurrects us by his glory. And he looks upon us, and looking upon us, we receive his glory, as told us in the book of John. Glorify thou me with thine own self. 17, 5. If God would only glorify me I would awaken. For he will not give himself to anyone but Himself. As told us in the book of Isaiah. I have put you through the furnaces of affliction. For my own sake. For my own sake I do it. For how should my name be profaned? I will not give my glory unto another. 48, 10. So when the clock. So when the cry is, glorify thou me with thine own self. I'm asking God to give me Himself. He shines upon me. And by his shining upon me, He. He awakens me. Why then? Why was I ever placed in that tomb? Listen to the words carefully. From the eighth chapter of the book of Romans. And the creature was subjected in unto. Excuse me. And the creature was subjected unto futility not of his own will, but by the will of him who subjected him. In hope for the creature will be set free from his bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God. Verse 20. It's the grand mystery of life through death. And I not willingly, but by the will of him who subjected me. I was placed in a tomb and the tomb was my skull. Then in that tomb I appeared dead. But it was a profound sleep. And then I dreamt the dream of this world. The most horrible dream in the world. So I dreamt all the horrors of the world I was subjected to. So I dreamt it. I dreamt that I was shot while I was a president. I had the most wonderful, fantastic funeral where the whole world mourned because of my exit from this world. And then I dreamt I was a poor man and couldn't buy a loaf of bread. And I dreamt I was mutilated. I dreamt I was honored, I was dishonored. And all these were my dreams in this world. At the ending, God stepped beyond. And by his wonderful mercy, he looked upon me. And I always become what beholds me as I become what I behold. So God beheld me and he, beholding me, resurrected me. And the first act in the great advent is to awaken. I awoke one night four years ago. I awoke in a sepulcher to discover the sepulcher was my own wonderful skull. That's Neville's talking about his birth from above in 1959. This is 1963. That was the first of his mystical experiences. It never occurred to me that I was really dead prior to that moment. That I had slept prior to that moment. Saved the nocturnal evening, night after night. But excuse me, save the nocturnal event night after night. But to find that I Had been asleep for 6,000 years. And then I awoke. And here I am, completely awake in a tomb. And the tomb is my skull. That's the beginning of Advent. Now there are four Sundays to it. They take my robe and they tear it into four parts. They dare not touch my tunic, for it is woven from head to foot. And it is woven so beautifully it is without seam. They must cast lots for it, for Scripture must be fulfilled. The 22nd Psalm tells me, you cannot fail. Tear my robe apart, for a new way is now open to man. It's through the curtain of the flesh. And it is the flesh. I bear no scars to prove what I tell you. But I felt everything in my flesh as told us in the 10th chapter, the 20th verse of the Book of Hebrews. This is the new way that is opened now. No ritual in this world do I need. I need no individual to lead me to God. From then on, having torn the scaffolding away, I have direct access to my Father because he and I are one. He built that garment that he wanted me to wear. And this is the garment that he built. How can I describe it? You have to experience it. He took a garment into which I was encased and an animal garment and transformed it into the human form divine. My face remains what you see now, only raised to the M degree of majesty. Hands remain, but raised to the nth degree of beauty and expression. Feet remained, the body not. He transformed me into the human form divine. Now listen to the words of one who not only saw it as I have seen it, but he had the ability to tell it as I have not arrived so far to tell it. He was the grand poet Blake. Mercy, pity, peace and love. Is God our Father dear? And mercy, pity, peace and love Is man his child and care for mercy has a human heart Pity the human face and love the human form divine and peace the human dress. Well, how could I describe to anyone the human form divine? And yet I stood in the presence of the human form divine. And it was infinite love. Infinite love embraced me and incorporated me into the form of infinite love. But I can't describe what the body is, not to the satisfaction of anyone in the world before he experiences it. But the face. Yes, the sameness of identity, but a radical change as to form. And so Advent is the unveiling of Christ in man. That's what it really is. You take the curtain apart and you unveil the Christ in man. And you do it in four great tears in the flesh. The first is in the skull and you can take it this way. When you awake in your skull and then you come out of your skull, which is called the birth from above. It's really one. It takes place in one night. The second one is an explosion, a fantastic explosion. And. And then it comes where you know who you are. That second event reveals who you really are. And it takes the Son to reveal the Father. And the Son appears and calls you Father. Then, and only then do you realize who you are. That God fulfilled His promise to give you Himself, as though you, as. As though there were no others in the world, just God and you. And now because he gave you Himself, just. Just you, because you are He. Prior to that moment, you did not know what you would be like, but you knew that when he appeared, you would be like Him. And so when His Son appeared, you were the Father. You didn't know what you would be like. As told us in the first epistle of John, the third chapter. It does not yet appear what we shall be like, but we know that when he appears, we shall be like him. Verse 2. And no one can reveal him save the Son. So the Son appears in your world and he calls you Father. And you know that then you are like Him. You are the Father. Because the Son calls you Lord. He calls you Father. You have no uncertainty in your heart as to the reality of. Of what is taking place in your world. That was the second tear of the garment. Then comes the third tear. He tells you, I will come in this manner. The earth will shake and every stone will be split right through Matthew 27:51. That's when I come. That's the third tear. And every stone is really split. Every segment of your spinal column is completely severed in two. And you see them separated by inches. Fulfilling the 27th of Matthew, he will come and every stone will be split and there is an earthquake. You have never felt anything comparable to it. That's the third tearing, as I said I had in my January 1, 2022 is when I discovered Neville through Elmer O. Locker, the the grandfather of the guy running the current channel. The grandfathers two videos. Within two or three months I had at least two to three explosions like this in succession. They were within a month, maybe two at the most. I would say they occurred in February and March of 2022. Again, an avid out of body traveler, a lucid dreamer. Awakened my dreams. Done plenty of flying. Going through walls, going through buildings, going through the earth, being in space, going past the planets, all of it falling to the earth at extreme speed, hitting it but not being damaged etc. Etc. A lot of out of bodies. But when these happened I thought them for just being that accelerations of out of bodies. But they were explosions big time out of the back of my head I felt I was pulled backwards. Noise, earthquake sound, all of it very extreme. But I just thought they were another form of my out of bodies. But I had at least two to three and I want to say it was three just like he's describing, but they weren't with the time element he's describing of separation, these were pretty much within a few months. That's the third tearing. The fourth one is when you take off the garment for the last time because that's when it actually comes off. The tunic that is made without seam, woven from the top to the bottom is your immortal garment. It's the garment of love. For then you wear the human form divine. It's the garment of love. For then you wear the human form divine. And the human form divine is love. There's nothing but love. So when you experienced, as we all blank space day experienced this past weekend, this horror, JFK's assassination, may I tell you, the one who played both parts was God. God played both parts. He also played the third part of horror. For there's nothing but God in this world. And in the very end when the curtain comes down, God who only acts and is in all existing beings or men will call us all together for we're incorporated into the body of love and reveal the meaning of the play. And the four acts will be over, the four tares will be over. Then in some wonderful fifth act, he will display the purpose of these four acts from for then you and I will be although identified as to face no loss of identity. But with this radical change of this immortal form we will play the fifth act and oh, what an act. But then we are qualified to play it. We have the garment with which we can play it. We couldn't play it with these. It takes these, the outer structure, to play this so called horror. Now I am not speculating, I am. I am giving you and sharing with you my vision. I've experienced it, but I cannot in any way describe it save in words. I cannot on this level do any more than I am doing now, using words to tell you what I have experienced, for it seems to be a horrible play. Then I ask you to believe God played all the parts, the so called insane part that blew one that we all admired so much into seeming in eternity. It's not eternity. It could Be that very moment in time. That impact was the tearing of one section of the garment. Who knows? For he's on the wheel of recurrence. Haven't you seen where we go back to 1840 and he elected every 20 years, made his exit while in office, I think he means. And he who. Who was elected because I think wasn't there. There's some kind of coincidental thing where each president has been shot at or shot or assassinated every 20. Every 20 years. Something he's referring to there. I forget what that whole saying is, but haven't you seen where we go back to 1840 and he who's elected every 20 years made his exit while in office, meaning died while in office, not necessarily assassinated. Now we've gone beyond the hundred years. Can't you see the wheel of recurrence question mark? This is now beyond 100 years. We starting back in 1840 with a change in pattern. Not really a change, but to those who had memories, it seemed to be a change because memory is so short. If we could go back to the. As. Excuse me, if we could go back as Blake went back and he said, I behold the visions of my deadly sleep of 6,000 years. 6,000 years. Well, what man can go back 6,000 years? If you could, you would see everything as it is about to appear. And what is more horrible in this world than to sit in a play in the presence of one who saw it and. And who is talking, who tells exactly what's going to happen? You go to a picture and all of a sudden someone who wants to know they saw it before and excuse me, you go to a picture and all of a sudden someone who wants you to know they saw it before. The one going through that door, he's about to shoot that one. And you don't know that. You don't anticipate it, but it comes to pass and you get annoyed with him, but he keeps on talking about it and he tells the entire play as it unfolds. Wouldn't you want to hit him over the head? Well, that's the play. This fantastic play in my house that happens all the time. And I am not happy when it's revealed, so I can't. If my wife knows what's going to happen, I can't ask her one thing about where we are, because spoilers. It's just spoilers all the time. But don't feel yourself a slave within the framework of God's play. As actors, you and I can modify the part, we can change the part, but we are playing a part. And an actor to play a part well must to some extent feel the part that he's playing. And to the best of his ability, he must imagine himself as the character that he is depicting. Back to the movies. Suspension of disbelief. As the watcher, you want to be suspended in disbelief. We were making a joke about this last night. When do they go to the bathroom? When do they drink water? You know, the actors and I mentioned as a kid, I used to watch the Three Stooges as a kid, and I used to think that the commercial breaks were when they went to the bathroom. I don't know why that came through my head, but I was so convinced that it was real. And so I am playing a part. I was cast in this role. I stood in the drama in the depths of my soul and cast lots for his robe and got the fourth part. So I came into the world playing the part of the fourth and had to play what I am playing. This all goes back and anchors on the one called David. The earliest manuscripts, but the very earliest manuscripts know only one ancestor of David, and this is his father, Jesse. He had no mother. And for this you may go back and search the Encyclopedia Biblica, the most scholarly work on the Bible to date. They say as far back as we can go, we can find no ancestor of David other than his father, whose name was Jesse. Furthermore, they say in the earliest manuscripts there are only four brothers, and he was the youngest of four. Others are mentioned as brothers, but not named. And in Scripture, unless a thing is named, it doesn't exist. And so there could be seven brothers as they're told, and eight brothers as they're told. But. But they must be named. Only four are named. And the youngest of the four named is David. So tell me, whose son are you, young man? And he answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse, the Bethlehemite. First Samuel 17:58. And Christ is made to say, I came not to serve or to be served. I came to serve. I came as a servant. Mark 10:45. I am the son of thy servant Jesse, the Bethlehemite. And the word Jesse is, I am the word Jesse means Jehovah. Jehovah comes not to be served, but to serve. Well, who serves but the actor who is playing the part, playing all the parts. And the one who discovered this Father, as we are told. And David brought down the giant. Having brought down the giant, the promise now must be fulfilled. And the promise is that he who brings down the giant, the enemy of Israel, I will set his Father free in Israel. First Samuel 17:25. Well, who is the father? The father is Jesse. The father is Jesus Christ. That's Jesse. And so suddenly he looks and he calls you Father. There's only Jesus Christ. So we go back. Your rebirth, the unveiling of the works of God in you is through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The only one who is resurrected is Jesus Christ. So when you are resurrected, you are he. There's only Jesus Christ. I'm telling you right now, from experience, there is an overwhelming feeling. I am he. And you will not escape. Will overwhelm your very being. And you won't be able to deny that. It'll be a proud. You will feel proud as family. That's how you feel. You will feel so proud that you are home. It feels like that. It feels the strength of family. You've heard the phrase, blood is thicker than water? That's what it feels like. It feels like that loyalty. Overwhelmingly. You too, will say in the end, as you will say this night when you read all the papers, as you saw the tv. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. He knew no more what he did driving in the open car than he who fired the fatal bullet. And the other one who fired that bullet. And you and I, on this level, will speculate and do all kinds of things. And it was all a play. You go tonight and you see Macbeth. And sitting in the audience, stirred by the emotion of the play, when she wants that spot rubbed out, and you in the play crying because of what she has done and what she prompted her husband to do, you hope it will never in eternity be wiped out. You hope that spot remains on that hand as a reminder of her violence, the horrible ambition that resulted in this innocent murder. But the curtain comes down, and you really don't want that spot to remain. If you know she's a grand actress. You only want it to remain on the part she played, but not on the actress who played it. But while you're carried with emotion, you want it to remain. Well, in this wonderful play of ours, you want this one snuffed out and that one snuffed out and all these things just because we don't know it's a play. But I'm telling you from my own experience, this is a play. And most glory, the most glorious play that God could conceive. And the purpose of it was to create. It was to create in us an immortal structure. The human form divine. And the human form divine is all love. There's nothing but love. One day, I prophesy everyone in this world, everyone in this world. The insane today, the imbeciles today, all will play all these parts. But one day not be playing these parts and be brought into the presence of infinite love. He will embrace them, incorporate them into his body. And in the end, when the curtain comes down and the play is over, everyone is wearing the human form divine. And everyone will have the heart of mercy. Everyone will have the face of pity. And everyone will be wearing the dress of peace. But the form itself will be the human form divine. And that form is infinite love. So I ask you not to despair. I know tonight the whole country is disturbed. Maybe not tonight, but certainly last night. And wondering. And so, to repeat, Blake, do not let yourself be intimidated by the horror of the world. Everything is ordered and correct and must fulfill its destiny in order to attain perfection. Follow this path and you will receive from your own wonderful soul an even deeper perception of the eternal beauties of life. You'll also receive an ever increasing relief from that which now seems to be so sad and so terrible. You will. You'll suddenly awake from it all. And you will see the reason behind the play, and you will allow it. Although the face will be yours forever and forever. The form, by this horrible play is transformed into the human form divine. And that form is infinite love. But in the meanwhile, use God's law. Use it to create and modify all the things in this world. Create things you want and cushion the blows of the play. Because like actors, you can't play it differently. Excuse me? Because like actors, you can play it differently. The same play, same part. But you could play it differently without the blow that would be the inevitable blow, if you did not use God's law wisely. The play the part I'm playing using this law and play it wisely. Everyone can do it. And you play the part wisely. When you use your imagination lovingly on behalf of. Of yourself and others, that when you hear the most horrible story, you revise it. All the answers are wonderfully put together here through the body of Neville's work. All of them you need are right here. There's only a handful. You don't need more than this. When you hear anything, you revise it. I'm constantly revising in live time, in real time. If something's coming at me, my Simon Peter blocks, and I immediately revise it. I just revise it in real time. It's so simple. All that is allowed without within the. Excuse me. All that is allowed within the Play. It does not change the outcome of the play. God planned everything as it has come out and as it will be consummated. As we are told in the 14th of Isaiah. I have planned. That which I have planned shall stand, and my purpose is forever. Verse 24. I have planned it just as it is, and my purpose is forever. No one will change it. You read it carefully and you will understand. Blank space, period. But in the end, when the scaffold comes down and the building is revealed, I just can't tell you the glory of the building of that building, for it's the glory of God. I can't tell you what it is to wear the garment of love. And yet this remains until the final tearing. There are four tears, and no one gets the fourth tear until he makes his exit from this world. Then comes the fourth one. All these other things appear like the dove. And all these things that are part of the eternal story, they all appear to show you how true the story is. But the fourth tear, when the garment is torn into four parts, and then others will cast lots for the untorn garment to play that part. For the fourth one is the one who comes through the door. And maybe tonight you may be that fourth one. I cannot in any way determine who will win the garment. But God knows exactly how he is unfolding this fantastic drama. Blank space, period. So you read it carefully. Only one relative. And the relative was Father, born without a mother, begotten of God, begotten of the Spirit and not of flesh and blood. And the being begotten is beloved David. David is the one. The second tearing of the garment. And when the garment is torn a second time, it exposes David as the Son. David looks and he calls you Father. And then you know that's the second tear. And then comes the third tear and your departure from Egypt, where in the most fantastic way you can take the imprint of God. Because only if you are in the state of molten gold can you take the impress of God. And so we are taking the seal of God. But you can't take the seal that comes sealed upon wax or upon clay. But then wax or clay must be in a molten state to take the impress. And so you see the gold, and you are it. Then suddenly the gold becomes serpentine, and up it moves up the shaft of what was formerly split. You move up the shaft of your own spinal cord, and here you take the impress upon the face of God. But God dwells in Zion, and Zion is your skull. And it's in there that you Go. You make the most tremendous effort to get out. But you don't get out. You just press into that skull and take the impress. Excuse me. And take the impress of the face of God. Yet no loss of identity. But you'll wear forever the form of God without loss of identity. As you are told. From John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of God has been purged. Excuse me. From John the Baptist. From John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of God has been preached. And everyone who enters the kingdom does so with violence. Matthew 11:12. And may I tell you, you've never known such violence in your life. As to that moment in time when you move up with the power that you've never felt before, but that power pushes into that seal and you take the face of God, but it will not be unveiled to you until the last tear, which is the taking off of the garment. So what you have inherited, your heavenly state, cannot become actual or is at least not fully realized by you, so long as you still wear this, or waiting for the last tear. And then the garment is torn, as you're told, into four parts. And you're clothed in that seamless robe, wearing without loss of identity, the human form divine. Now let us go into the silence. It good again. It doesn't take much. You just need a little bit. If you're driving, your eyes were not closed. They're open. It's okay to go into the silence with your eyes open. I do it all the time while driving, especially. What an amazing lecture. What a horrible tragedy of the few days before. This is November 26th, 1963. Obviously the previous weekend was when JFK was assassinated. Advent, the four tears. Whoa. He really brought that one out. Because I think the previous lecture, as we know, was what, the 19th? I think. So he had a few days to dwell on this after the JFK assassination. Counting the cost. November 19th, the 22nd, was that weekend. Then, of course, this, as I said, was November 26th, four days later. So a full week. The four tears. We're gonna see you in the next one.
