All Are Human – Neville Goddard (02-27-1964) | Full Reading + Commentary

Neville Goddard, 1964 lectures All Are Human February 27, 1964. There is a lecture between this one we're gonna read today and the last one called His Eternal Play that was published on this channel one month ago, but I think it's April 12th. His eternal play would have been Next, Next in Line here, but I actually jumped the gun and did it about a month ago. So it's on the channel if you want us to look it up. His Eternal Play. Beyond that, we're going to the next one. All are human February 27, 1964. Tonight's subject is All Are Human. In Blake's great Jerusalem, he said, all are men in eternity. Rivers, mountains, cities, villages, all are human. And when we enter, and when we enter into their bosoms, we walk in earth and in heaven. And when we enter into our bosoms, we walk in earth and heaven. And all that we behold, though it appears without it, is within in our imagination, of which this world of mortality is but a shadow. Jerusalem, plate 71. That's difficult to conceive, difficult to follow, but I think I can throw a little light on it. From my own personal experience, it seems so difficult to tell a man that the whole vast world is himself made visible. That man is either the Ark of God or a phantom of the earth and the sea. He either contains the whole of eternity within him and truly is the Ark of God, or he simply appears out of the nowhere. And he waxes and he wanes and he vanishes and leaves not a trace behind him, just like a phantom. So the choice is man's, but man thinks he is simply a little phantom. I tell you, you are the Ark of God. You contain the whole of eternity within you. And what your destiny is, it's God you are actually destined to become as he is. And it takes this whole vast, wonderful world of ours to unfold it for us. As we are told. As the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. Then he said, do not marvel at this, for I tell you that the day is coming that all in the tomb will hear his voice and come forth. John 5:26. All in the tomb will hear his voice and come forth. Well, Blake made something similar in a little comment in his book, the First Book of Europe. He said, the dead heard the voice of the child and began to awake from sleep. All things heard the voice of the child and began to awake to life. That this Christ child, and you always think of Christ as a little child, always and as the child, and you hear the voice of the child, and all in the tomb begin to awake from sleep. Yet in a tomb they were called the dead. They will come forth from the tomb. They will awake in the tomb and come forth. Now, here is the new concept that came with the first one who awoke from the tomb, awoke from the dead to find himself entombed, and came forth. And then he brought an entirely different concept, what man really is. Man was under restraint in the past. So we are told. Why do you live under restraints under regulations? Why do you live as though you were still a part of this world? And why do you submit to regulations that we read in Colossians, Paul's letter of the second chapter of Colossians, verse 20? Because in the ancient world, man had so many restraints. If you read the 11th chapter of Leviticus, even as to diets, if a beast chews its cud and at the same time it has a parted hoof and the cloven foot, well, then you could eat it. But if the chewed. But if it chewed the cud like the camel, but did not have the parted hoof, then it was unclean. The pig did not chew the cud, but it had the parted hoof. It was unclean. You must have both. And so the hare, the rabbit, the badger, they chewed the cud. The hare does not chew its cud, but the ancients thought it did by the motion of the jaw. But it had the cloven hoof, as it were. It was not a parted foot, and therefore unclean. And the unnumbered things in the ocean, if they had fins and scales, they were clean, you could eat them. But if they did not have fins and scales, you could not eat them. They were unclean. So the eel that today the French devour and love. I've had them, and they are delicious. All the shellfish were unclean. They didn't have scales, they didn't have fins. So oysters, clams, our lovely lobsters, the shrimp and all that would be the unclean if you took the 11th chapter of Leviticus. Boy, oh, boy. He comes and he tells us, what goes into the mouth does not defile us. Not a thing that goes into the mouth defiles a man. Only what comes out of the heart defiles him. And so whether I eat or I do not eat it means nothing in the eye of God. He tells us that there's not a thing gained by not eating it and nothing by eating it. It's all equal to the eye of God. Because man will One day discover he never really ate another. That seems crazy. He never really ate another. He never killed another, he never wounded another. There was only himself. The ark containing all. And all were self wounds and self destruction. And he only ate himself. Now let me share with you an experience of mine. One day I found myself at the top of a ladder, a very tall ladder. And I was alone as a man. At the base of this ladder was the jungle. And the animals of the jungle, the lions, tigers, everything that you would think of as a vicious animal, an angry animal. And they were really violent. You could see the river. These living glowing be, these living growing beasts that they were. And I was afraid. I looked around and not a soul in sight. I'm all alone. Then something in the depth of my soul told me. I didn't hear a voice. But I knew. I knew that everything I saw, the entire animal world, only reflected my emotional disturbance. The anger, there was a reflection of the fear here. And my fears were mirrored in this moving, moving beast that was at the bottom of me. Then when I knew that I lost the fear, as I lost the fear, they became domesticated, like house cats. Just domesticated cats, not angry lions and tigers and panthers and all that they were. Fear, anger. Look what a dog does when he knows you're afraid of him. He becomes angry with you, starts barking at you or bites you when you have the fear, it's an obvious reflection. And then I went further, because I remembered what I once did by arresting in me an activity which in turn arrested the moving panorama that moved before me. Not a thing could move when I arrested that energy in me. And I saw a standstill and as though made of marble, made of clay. So I repeated it here. And I arrested in me that life promised. As the father has life in himself, so he has granted the son also to have life in himself. And do not marvel, for you will one day hear the voice. And those that are dead will come forth from their tombs. And so I arrested in me this activity. And everything I saw one moment before moving stood still. Then I went down the ladder and they were made as inanimate as this thing is here. They were dead, made of some substance. It could have been clay, it could have been marble. But there wasn't one breath in the beasts that I saw. Everything was dead. Well, where was the life had I eaten one of them? What life would I have eaten? Had I slain one and taken one from. And taken from it a nice piece of meat, and I consumed that meat. What would I have eaten? So I can only get from anything the life within it. There was. Excuse me, where was the life in it? Because I can't eat the dead thing. No one takes the dead or that with feet of clay anyway. You can only eat that which has life in it to get substance from it. Very fascinating. I never looked at that perspective before. Only that which has life could you consume. Could you eat this plant that is animal? Animal or vegetable, as it were, not mineral. Although minerals have a very important role in our body, in my humble opinion, it's something that we've taken for granted in the past, that minerals were always part of our water supply. But sometimes we have to rebalance our water, this is my opinion, to get it back to what it was. If you live by a stream, like by a spring coming down, snow melt from the mountains, and that water gathers minerals. That's the nature of that water. But when you're in an urban dweller, the water leaves your house and goes to this place down the street, and they filter it and filter and filter it. Then they put some chlorine in it and bring it back to your house. Well, it's missing those things that nature would typically put right into it. Different subject. Where was the life in. In it? Because I can't eat the dead thing. No one takes the dead or that with feet of clay anyway. You can only eat that which has life in it to get substance from it. Fascinating. Even if it's an apple, if it's a peach, anything in the world, it must first be alive. It can't be dead and decayed, and it can't turn to stone. And you consume it and get anything from it. You can't assimilate that. You can only assimilate that which is alive. And so, had I killed one of these and devoured it, what life would I have been eating? I saw that I gave it life. I could not have extracted from it anything other than I first gave it. So the whole vast world that lives and moves in my world moves because I animate it, but I do it unknowingly. You are doing it unknowingly. You are making everything alive in your world, but you don't know it. For you haven't yet had the experience. Excuse me. Turn that off. You haven't yet had the experience. Where was I? I'm going to repeat because I completely feel like I lost my spot. Here we go. You are making everything alive in your world, but you don't know it. For you haven't yet had the experience of Stopping it to see it is something that is dead unless you animate it. That nothing is truly and really independent of your perception of it. This is one thing. Seth the teacher. Seth Jane Roberts, Robert Butts, Seth. One thing he said over and over and over, repeatedly, incessantly, thousands and thousands of times. You five words from five letters, Y, C, Y, O, R. You create your own reality. It's simmered right into that statement. What, what Neville's saying right here. It's the same exact statement. Everything as you pushed out is the same thing. You get to a place from the Seth material where you realize when your eyes are closed, nothing is there. There's nothing there. Literally. You get to a place of the Seth material when you close these peepers, you understand that there is nothing. But when you open them, you give life. You animate all of it in the instant you open them, that instant. That's how creative you are and powerful you are. You are creating all of it. Let there be light that it moves. But you don't know it moves because you are animating it. And one day you are told of a certain law that you could, without the consent of another, change the attitude of that being towards life, towards himself. And in changing his attitude, you could change the circumstances of his life. So you try it. You don't ask his consent. You simply represent him to yourself as the man or the woman that you would like him to be. And you're quite sure he would like to be it. And so you don't confide, you don't take him into your confidence and tell him anything. You simply try it. You'll find once you start imagining lovingly for another, you're going to hit 100%, it's going to be a home run every single time. It's that simple. Then when you meet him in the not distant future, he has changed his attitude towards life. And in that change of attitude he has changed the aspects of life. He has a change of environment, change of circumstances. And so you don't brag, you're just learning a lesson. Where was the activity to begin with? You are the Ark of God. And the Ark contains everything. Nothing is missing from the Ark. So you are either the Ark of God, or you're simply a phantom from the earth and the sea. By this you know you're the Ark. Because he lives seemingly on the outside and he moves independently of your perception of him. Were he truly independent of your perception of him, a change of attitude in you, relative to him could not produce in him a Change at all. It couldn't, but it does. Exclamation point. It produces a change. Therefore, he must be truly in you. And we go back to Blake. All that you behold, though it appears without it, is within, in your imagination, of which this world of mortality is but a shadow. So when Blake uses the word bosom, he means imagination, which he reveals in that wonderful statement. Another passage in Jerusalem. That we are ever expanding in the bosom of God. The Human Imagination, chapter one, plate five. So he calls the bosom of God divine imagination. And we are expanding in divine imagination. What's expanding? The human imagination. And they do not differ, save in degree of intensity, but not in substance, not in character. They operate in the same way. One is keyed low and one is keyed high. Keyed high. An imaginal act is an immediate, objective fact. Keyed low, as we are. It's then realized in a time process. It takes time between the imaginal act and its externalization in the world. But it's still one, operating the entire world. So you are doing it. I am doing it. Everything contains all. Excuse me, everyone contains all in himself. And all that we behold, though it appears without and seems so completely independent of us, it really isn't. For I know that the night that I saw this thing, it frightened me. I was scared by my own being because it was simply myself made visible. That's part of the eternal structure of the universe. But I animated it. He said eternity exists and all things in eternity independent of creation, which was an act of mercy. Viz. Last Judge, pages 91 and 92. That act of mercy was the animation of which. Of that. Excuse me. That act of mercy was the animation of that which exists. The whole thing exists. But it's dead. It's frozen. And then you, God, awaken it. You begin to animate it. And as you animate it, you don't know you're animating it and it scares you. You are afraid of your own life because you give it life. It has no life in itself. Only the Father has life in himself. And as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. So you are that Son. But the Father and the Son are one. Though the Father, at this level where we are called Son, is greater than the Son. So I and my Father are one. But my Father is greater than I. But I am moving towards that expansion where I and my father are truly one. John 10:30. But while I am learning and experiencing this wonderful thing I must go through then at the moments I am scared to death of my own creation. Didn't create the lion, I didn't create the tiger. They are part of the eternal structure of the universe. I didn't create this garment of hair called John Brown or Mary Smith. I didn't do that. But I animate them. I animate everything in my world. But Mary Brown and John Smith are eternal parts of the eternal structure of the universe and you simply animate them. And to prove you do it, you simply see them not as they now appear to you, but as you would like them to appear to you and to themselves. You don't consult them, you don't take them into your confidence. You ask nothing of them, you simply do it and persuade yourself of the reality of what you imagine relative to them and wait in confidence. That persuasion piece right there, that's Neville's. To me, it's one of the most famous things he has ever said, self persuaded. Once you become self persuaded of a thing, it is, and that's it, it's done. Literally it's done. You wait in confidence and then in this interval of time, because you're functioning on a lower frequency, you're down here and this is a lower degree of intensity than were you raised to the height of the Father. So down here you must wait in faith. This is where faith comes in. Once you're self persuaded and you're confident it's done, then all that is left is faith. There's no room for anything else. You're not ever to be concerned with how ever, never ever, ever confident. So down here you must wait in faith, confident that what you have done will come to pass. And then it comes to pass. As it comes to pass, you've discovered life in yourself. And the day will come when you take it off. You never know it completely while you are still wearing this garment. For this garment is also part of the eternal structure of the universe. You had to assume it and move about it, but trusting from within the being that you really are. Now, what then endures? This is part of the eternal structure of the universe. When what then passes away? And. And what endures outside of the eternal structure that God has set up to bring forth himself? As you love, love never ends. As for prophecy, it will pass away. As for knowledge, it will pass away. For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect. But when that which is perfect comes, that which is imperfect will pass away. I can't help but think of all those textbooks when you're going to the college and you're going to college and taking classes. You got to buy new textbooks every friggin semester because they want this new teacher to have credit for writing the book this time. And then this other one comes in and he needs credit the next semester and every single one of those books passes away. It's just a cycle. And so when we are perfected in his own mind's eye, when the lowly being that we started as just trying to make something move in move, and it moved, but we didn't know we did it. We saw it move and we didn't see any contact between the thing and ourselves. We didn't have a string like a kite, but we knew when we're flying a kite with the wind we can do certain things. And we do know we are guiding the motion, or we feel we are, but we have no sensation of contact between the beam, say a beam of thought. And we don't realize we're just as contacted with it as we are with the string and the kite. We don't know it. And so it moves and it seems to run from us sometimes frightens us because of our attitude towards it. And it scares us to death when it has no power in itself. All the power is in the mind of the one who is looking at it and imagining whatever he is imagining when he looks at it. And the whole vast world is simply the animated structure of the world, animated by the percipient. And you are the percipient. And so the thing that really remains is love. Because God is love. There's nothing but God and God is love. I just had a grandmother pass away a few Years ago, almost 93, or she was 93, just turned. And all that remains is the affection for this grandmother by all of her descendants. The list is so long I can't even begin to give you a number. But all that remains is love. And I see cousins on Facebook post pictures with her and old pictures and I have many pictures myself. And all that remains of that person is love. That's all what really endures. Last night I spoke of. Last night I spoke at one of these salons. That's one of those things that you get into occasionally. You don't know why or how, but we all do it. And so not a blank space. So you got into it. And this nice couple, they asked me to tell them stories concerning my mystical experiences. All right. Nothing pleases me more than to tell these experiences. And so this chap said to me, you mean to tell me that you actually saw God? I said, yes, I saw God. Then he smiled a little sneer. Snigger. Well, said he. What is God? I said, God is man. Excuse me, Man. God is man. You may not believe it. You may. You may think he's light and power and all these things. But I tell you, God is man. And one day you will have the privilege of meeting God. When you see him, you'll be absorbed by Him. Because to see him is to become Him. And so you'll be incorporated into the body of love. And you will know, regardless of the arguments of man, that God is all love. Infinite love and nothing but love. All things pass away. All. All the wisdom of this world passes away. Everything passes away but love. Love never ends, never comes to an end. Because God is love. Wow. Then his wife said to me, are you Isaiah? I said, what has that to do about it? Am I Isaiah, question mark? I said, no, I. I'm Neville. Isaiah saw God. Must I be Isaiah to see God? The pure in heart sees God. Only the pure in heart sees God. So if you are so, if you are pure in heart, not in your eyes. For all of us in our own eyes feel that our ways are pure. All the ways of men are pure in their own eyes. But God sees the heart. And when in his eyes, the heart is pure, you are called. You have no choice. Because you don't know that moment in eternity when you were selected. And that little secret of God's elective love remains his secret. And you are called for incorporation. That's all. You. You'll be asked the question. You'll answer correctly. At the moment of the answer, you are incorporated into the body of love, which is God. And let me repeat, God is man. That didn't sit well with them at all. And then this lady asked the question, why, if Jesus Christ is God, why did he cry out on the cross, My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? And. And then she quoted it as though it came from the book of Luke. I said, no, it didn't come from Luke. It came either from Matthew or Mark or both, but certainly not from Luke and not from John, because they do not use that 22nd Psalm. They use, I.e. luke uses the 31st Psalm. And only the 31st is quoted in this last cry on the cross. On the cross it wasn't a cry. It was a complete surrender in faith. For the words are, father, into Thy hand I commit my spirit. Not my God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? That is Matthew. That's when the great presence is presented a king. In Mark, he is presented as a servant. In Luke, he is presented as the perfect man. He would not cry, because a perfect man is made in the image of God, the pure in heart. So he doesn't. He knows God is infinite love. So at the very last he knows the work is finished. And so, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. When it comes to John, John is God himself in the story as presented. And so he presents Jesus as Jehovah. And so the last cry there is. It is finished to fulfill Scripture. Just prior to that, he said, I thirst to fulfill the 69th Psalm. And so he thirsted, and they gave him vinegar for his thirst. So he cried out. He cried out, I thirst. Then the very last words, knowing that it was finished, he said, it is is finished. And then gave up the Spirit. So he didn't cry it, but the lady was insistent it came from Luke, because that very day she was reading Luke, and she read it in Luke. Well, not to have the other guest be disturbed. I did what normally I really should not have done, but I thought for the benefit of all, because if I did not correct it, they would have gone out thinking, well, you see, he doesn't know what he's talking about. And one lady corrected him, and so she knew. So I asked the hostess of the place if perchance she had a Bible. And she brought out a lovely big red Bible. I said, turn to Luke and turn to the 23rd chapter, for that would be on the cross. The 24th is after the Resurrection. So she turned. I didn't have my glasses with me, and when you're pushing 60, you know you need glasses. I didn't have my glasses, so I said, I can't see this fine print. And some gentleman very graciously offered me his glasses, but I couldn't use them. He gave me the glasses, but I couldn't see anything. Then another gentleman, judging from appearances, I would say many years my senior. And his fitted me perfectly. They were just magnifying. And so I could see, and I read it for her. She was still, I'm quite convinced, unconvinced. I said, I'm reading from the 46th verse, the 23rd chapter of the book of Luke. When you go home, take the same book of Luke and read it, and you will see. He never did quote the 22nd Psalm. He was only quoting the 31st Psalm. A complete confidence in his surrender to God. So we think we know this great book, and we really don't know the book. The Book is telling you what I've told you earlier. You are the ark of God. All things in eternity are contained in you. There's nothing but God. And you are. And excuse me, and you and God are one that shocks people as it shocked those last night. Not all of them, but the majority was disturbed as the me, as the meeting, as it followed when the gathering, after the meeting, from conversations that I had with so many of them following that they were greatly disturbed because they can't bring themselves to believe that man is that great in the eyes of God. He's bringing out a son. What do you expect him to bring out a son and not be like his father. Suppose I'm bringing out a son and my wife says, oh, we had a child this morning, and I'm delighted. And I go into the room and she shows me a roach. She gives me a bug, a great big bug and says, I gave birth to this this morning. You're the father now. Wouldn't I be proud. That's exactly what man is doing with God. He said, I will bring forth from you, from man. And he calls man this wonderful David. And he said, I will raise up after you, after you're dead. And so when you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up from your body a son that will come forth from your body. And I will be his father, and he shall be my son. Second Samuel 7, 12 and 14. Then all of a sudden he brings out a David. And then, excuse me. Then all of a sudden he brings out of David, which is humanity. Then all of a sudden he brings out of David what he's waiting eagerly for his son, the image of himself. And David gives birth to a roach. Question mark. Can you imagine that? What would God do? Step on it. He'd step on it right away and call it, well, some miscreation and start all over again. Because if all that God could bring out of man, waiting eagerly for something like himself to come out of man. And it doesn't come out the embodiment of love, but it comes out like a monstrous thing. Step on it and then you have eternity at your command. Therefore, make it all over again. This time do a little better. Oh, how wonderful. But God has done exactly what he planned. He is bringing forth from humanity his son. He is bringing out of David. That's humanity. One glorious son. It's you. When he brings you out, you're just like him. And may I tell you, he's all love, nothing but love. There is no hating God, no retribution. The cry on the cross, the very first words. There is no hating God, no retribution. The cry on the cross, the very first words, father, forgive them. If you read Luke, father, forgive them. They know not what they do. And then the second cry on the cross, he turns to the thief. He said, behold, I say unto you today. You see, in Greek and in Hebrew, there is no punctuation mark. In fact, no paragraph, no chapter, just one letter after the other. So our scholars had to break it and punctuate it. So if you take the comma and put it after I say unto you, and that's the break. And then today you will be with me in paradise, that changes the entire sentence. And yet they do, excuse me. And yet they all do that. But if I take that sentence and change the comma and say, I say unto you today, comma, I'm telling you, today, you will be with me in paradise. I don't say, you are going to be with me today, I'm telling you, I have experienced it. I have experienced the promise complete, fulfilled. And I know my inheritance is the kingdom of Heaven. I inherit not only the kingdom, I inherit a presence. And the presence is God, because he gave Himself through the revelation of His Son, who called me what he calls him. He calls me Father. Father. He calls him Father, but he can't call both. We are one. And so I know I inherit a presence. I know when the time comes to take it off automatically, he has already changed my lowly body to be of one form with his glorious body. And the body that I will wear tomorrow is one with that of the exalted Christ that I know. And so when this happens, I will say to anyone, if a thief. All right, even though you are a thief, you're a cutthroat, you're a murderer. But I tell you, you will be with me in paradise. So his second cry on the cross, behold, I say unto you today, comma, you put the comma there. You will be with me in paradise. I'm not committing my. Excuse me, I'm not committing myself that now, this very day, you're going to be with me. Because if you read the story carefully, he said, touch me not yet. I have not yet ascended unto my father, John 2017, and that was 40 days later. So either one is misunderstood or the whole thing is a lie. It's a contradiction. But if you take the comma, and the scholar had the right to place it where he felt the meaning would be. And so he thought, after you, if you place the comma, that would give the sense intended by the writer. It didn't give the sense. Behold, I say unto you today, comma, I'm talking today, you will be with me in paradise. So that's the story. And then the third cry is a complete surrender in absolute confidence into the hands of His Father. Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit in confidence that this was intended, that we become one for the Spirit. Everyone's spirit becomes one. And he's one with the Father. So when he goes to the Father, he. He is the Father. But while he's here, clothed, as we are clothed in flesh and blood, then seemingly he is not. And restricted to the limit of this region, this level of awareness. So I say, all of you, the whole vast world pushed out, everything in man made visible. Excuse me. Everything is man made visible. Let me repeat the sentence. So I say, all of you, the whole vast world pushed out. Everything is man made visible. Man has never killed another. He has never eaten another. He has never wounded another, because he only could hurt himself. I wouldn't say I wound a piece of clay. If I went in and took a knife, I could disfigure a lovely painting. But I wouldn't say I wounded it. I could. I could be some awful character and then take a knife and cut the lovely canvas. But I wouldn't really say I heard it. But if I gave it life and the thing became animated, it became alive. And then I put the knife to it, I would say I heard it, but the thing that would make it alive would be myself, the perceiver. Therefore I'm really putting the knife into myself, but not yet that sensitive to feeling. This paragraph is the most profound one I've read in many pages. I must repeat for our consumption. So I say, all of you, the whole vast world pushed out. Everything is man made visible. Man has never killed another. He has never eaten another, he has never wounded another, because he could only hurt himself. I wouldn't say I wound a piece of clay. If I went in and I took a knife, I could disfigure a lovely painting. But I wouldn't say I wounded it. I could be some awful character and then take a knife and cut the lovely canvas. But I really. But I wouldn't really say I heard it. But if I gave it life and the thing became animated, it became alive, and then I put the knife to it, I would say I heard it, but the thing that would make it alive would be myself, the perceiver. Therefore I'm really putting the knife into myself. But not yet that sensitive to Feeling profound. But the day will come. May I tell you when that. When what I just told you is true? I saw the entire world right before me, and it was all dead. When I arrested in me an activity that made it alive. I suddenly looked at it and it was simply dead. But before that, I was afraid. I was scared to death. I looked at it and it was all living, moving beasts. And I'm alone. No one to protect me, no one to comfort me. I'm completely alone. And then, something in the depths of the soul, I knew it, that if the. That if perchance I could only lose my fear of them, they would not be hungry when I lost my fear of them. These lovely kittens, that's what they were. Huge, monstrous things. But kittens, domesticated. And then I went further, and I arrested in me the activity that made them alive. Then I came down the ladder, walked right down to them, and they were frozen dead, not asleep. They were dead. They were only made of clay. Their life was in me. But I didn't know it until that moment before I started down. Because at the very first moment of seeing them, because I saw them through my conceptual mind. And my conceptual mind tells me that tiger is a very dangerous animal. And so is the lion, and so is the panther. And so my conceptual mind modified that divine vision that I could have had were I not wearing the conceptual mind. So when I took it off, as it were, by remembering the being that I am, the whole thing changed and they were all dead. So had I eaten any part of them or any part of the fish? I'm only eating myself because I'm only extracting, really, from that body, which is dead anyway. And it was only made alive by the life of me. So what am I taking back when I eat it? I'm only eating my own being, as it were. So you're told in that wonderful second chapter of Colossians. Speaking of diets, it doesn't matter what you eat, only do not use it as a stumbling block to others who are not yet awake. So don't brag about it. You got to remember Abdullah. He came eating and drinking pints and three. Three big shots of rye, then a huge meal and big bowls of ice cream. And who was it? The Prime Minister of England, Churchill. I mean, after dinner, after a massive meal, then having a couple quarts of champagne with massive amounts of ice cream and cigars and brandy, it's all you. So only do not use it as a stumbling block to others who are not yet awake. So don't brag about it. If they want to be vegetarians, let them be vegetarians. Don't brag about being able to eat all the things in the world without distress. Don't brag about it, but do not submit anymore to regulations. You're told. Do not submit to regulations. All the regulations of the churches, all the regulations of the outside things of this world. Don't. Why do you once more think of yourself, he said, as a part of this world? You're not a part of this world. You're wearing a part of the world's garment and you're wearing it, but you're not the garment that you wear. You will have something that is coming out that is one with God. And your body is God's body. And the body is all love. So we are told. Love never ends. Knowledge passes away. Prophecy, it passes away. For both are imperfect. But when perfection comes, when that which is perfect comes, that which is imperfect will pass away. And so all that man knows today about gravity, all that he knows about the so called structure of the atom, all that he knows about everything in this world will be as nothing. It'll pass away because it isn't true. It is partially true. And we get results with a partial truth. But when perfection comes, all these partial truths will vanish. And. And they will not be so at all. And I saw that so clearly when I saw a bird in flight. If I arrested the motion of a man, which I did, and the lady walking through to serve food, and then she couldn't move 1 second beyond that, 1 second beyond 1nth part, beyond. And I saw that so clearly when I saw a bird in flight. If I arrested the motion of a man, which I did, and the lady walking through to serve food, and then she couldn't move one second beyond the nth. And she couldn't move one second beyond one nth, where I arrested her. And a man eating, couldn't complete the action. He was drinking soup, so he took the soup up this way. And as I stopped him, he stopped, frozen. He was dead. And the waitress walking, she was dead. And the bird flying, and it stopped in space, but it didn't fall. And the leaves falling, didn't fall any further when I arrested them. And everything was just as it was at that moment of perception. The leaves falling, fell not. And the bird flying, flew not. And the waitress walking, walked not. Everything that was in motion when I stopped, it remained stationary. Then I went forward and examined it. And everything was made as though it were made of clothes, clay. Then when I released that activity in me. What happened? They all continued to complete their intentions. The bird continued in its flight towards where he intended to go. The waitress came forward towards the table of four to serve as she intended. When she came through that little door, the man drinking his soup, the hand that was stopped here completed the action and the soup went into his mouth. Everything continued as it was intended. But I stopped. The intention not there in me at that moment in time. It had to be just where it was. And I stopped it and then allowed it to continue by an action in me. Well, if gravity is true, I mean absolutely true, not partially true, not relative true, not relatively true, that bird should have fallen to the ground when I stopped it. It's called the law of gravity, but it's not a law at all. For a bird in flight, if arrested, would fall. But the bird in flight arrested, not supported by anything, and still remains suspended in space. Where is gravity? Where is the gravity of the leaf? Why did the leaf not come on down to the ground where it should have? If gravity is truly an absolute universal law. So I say, the time will come when all that man now knows. And you read it carefully in the 13th chapter of the book of Corinthians, First Corinthians 13. It's a hymn in praise of love. It simply states that love and love only is the everlasting of the world. Everything passes away. I have to throw in a commercial right here for Hooponopono. If you have not experienced it or tried it, or understand it, or anything to do with it, it's worth a side tangent of investigation. Because love is the true power of in that study, it's the most powerful thing there is. And with the Ho' oponopono study and practice, you are playing with the ultimate and obviously ever long lasting power that is love. It simply states that love and love only is the everlasting of the world. Everything passes away. If I give my body to be burned and have not love, it is as nothing. If I have all wisdom and have not love, it is as nothing. No matter what I do in this world, if I haven't love, I did nothing. Because everything is going to pass away that man knows here, but it's love and he has here that will. Because everything is going to pass away that man knows here, but it's love that he has here that will not pass away. Your love for your wife, your love for your husband, your love for a child, your love for a friend, your love for an animal. Every expression of love is Forever. So these loves never pass away. But what you now know, what you know is going to pass away. You look into the mirror and you see your face. And you even catch it on a photograph. And you think, I've got him now. Then look at yourself again next year. Where is he? It all passed away. And you can't bring it back. You can't go to the surgeon, have him cut you here, pull up a little place, but it doesn't look like what it did last year. And they go every year. I just saw where some very famous person in the East. She's an international lady. But like all of us, we push the inevitable grave. And so she's not far from it. But she's just gone to a surgeon for the nth time in London. To once more have another little lift. A few more seconds. She can't smile. There's no more to lift. You look at it like this. You can't take anymore. I have played in the theater with one of those. She had millions. And she was always taking a little lift. Not only here, but also here, also making everything as she was. When she was 18, it didn't work. Finally, the face couldn't move. It was simply completely filled. So you see, all things will pass away, but love will not pass away. So whatever you do in love, know you are doing something that is permanent, something that's forever. So fall in love with anything. With a bird, A bird at home, if you have a cat at home, if you have a dog at home. If you can't find humanity to love, love something. Because love is the only living, permanent thing in the world. Because God is love. And everything else passes away. Infinite power. You can call God's power almightiness, but that's not God. That's an attribute of God. When you see it, you see man. Because all the attributes of God are men. When you stand in the presence almightiness, it's man, no question about it. But it's not God. God is love. When you stand in the presence of God, infinite love, you don't have to ask anything. Who are you? You ask no question. You stand in the presence of the ancient of days, and he's all love. Yet you look here, and here is infinite might. And it's man. It's an attribute of God. Wisdom, an attribute of God. All this is an attribute of God. But love is forever. The only permanent reality in the world. So every time you exercise your imagination. I was so stoked he's getting here. Because I was just about to tangent on this. So every time you exercise your imagination, capital I love, you'll know it standstill because in you you made it stand still. You arrested an activity that you felt and you didn't feel it out there, you felt it in here, right in your own head. As you arrested it, everything froze and you looked at it and then you had no fear. Then you released it in you and then all became once more animated. You could keep them on the level of domesticated cats, or you could once more go back to your former state where you forgot. And once more they became violent as you became more fearful. So I say all men, all the whole vast world is man made visible. There is nothing but man because God is and man are one. Man is all imagination. God is man and exists in us and we in him. The eternal body of man is the imagination and that is God himself. Blake Berkeley, page 775. Laocoon, page 776. And when you go home this night, you try it without the consent of another. Do it lovingly though. Just bring someone into your mind's eye. Represent him to yourself as you would like him to be, regardless of what he's done. I don't care what he's done or what he's doing. Just simply be faithful to your vision of him and to the degree that you are self persuaded of the reality of what you've done. To that degree, he will conform to it. But bear this in mind and be comforted by it. Were you functioning at higher intensities, it would happen immediately. But we are not. We are wearing garments of flesh and blood and we are insulated because we are. It's going to take an interval of time between your imaginal act and the fulfillment of that act. Now here's your opportunity to imagine lovingly for anybody in your life. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Okay, now let us go into the silence and do that right now. It all right. Believe me, I got a list and I just keep going down it. Question inaudible answer. Blank space is the number of man. If you could Tone. Excuse me. If you would. Tone. 666. You would get 9.6 plus 6 plus 6 would be 18. I mean, being a numerologist, ex numerologist. I completely understand where he's going. So I was reading it incorrectly. Someone must have asked about 666. So here's his answer. Blank space is the number of man. If you would tone. I think that means tone is to 1, 666. You would get 9. Six plus six plus six would be 18. One plus eight is nine and nine is the number of man. Nine is the number of man. It's the number of humanity. Alef, daleth, mem. And it comes to 1440. When you count, you take 1440 and you get nine. One plus four plus four Aleph is one, the leth is four, mem is 40. And that spells Adam. And so one four four, whether it be 1440 or 144-000-000, you can add as many zeros as you want and get that wonderful mystical number of 144,000 who will be saved. And on their foreheads will be the name of both the Father and the Son. But the Father's name is I am, and the Son in creativity is called Jesus. So the forehead, so on the forehead is I am Jesus. And that's you. Good night. Oh, my goodness. I don't know whether to call this the law, the promise, or just another elevation that is beyond.
