Barabbas Or Jesus by Neville Goddard (04-05-1963)

Neville Goddard 1963 lectures April 5, 1963 Barabbas or Jesus? This is gonna get good. Tonight's subject is Barabbas or Jesus. This is the greatest trial that ever took place in eternity. You and I have read of trials where countries and countries where billions are involved. It means nothing compared to this trial. This is the greatest of all trials. When we read the scriptures, we find the thing that says the raising of Lazarus, which is the most fantastic thing you can imagine. A man who is dead for four days and his sister said, by this time there's an odor. And so he raises Lazarus. And yet only. And yet only one evangelist recorded it. Only John tells the story. Matthew, Mark and Luke do not mention the story of Lazarus. How could you tell the story of a man in this world who could raise someone who has decayed and bringing him back to life as we understand life, and not tell it as part of his biography? Yet it is only mentioned in the Gospel of John. So I could take you through the many stories and show that one story is told by two, sometimes three, and only by one. But here in this story of the trial, all mention has tremendous significance. This story of the greatest trial that ever took place in eternity. And may I tell you, it's taking place here tonight. And you are the witnesses. You are the ones that will either cry out for the release of one or the other. It's entirely up to you. For this is the story. It must take place in this manner. The supreme effort of God to reveal himself in the present tense was the coming of Jesus. Jesus came to reveal God as the eternal contemporary. That's the trial. One believes it or they disbelieve it. But here is the. But here is this supreme effort to reveal himself in the present tense. For the present tense is, I am. That's my name forever. I have no other name. Exodus 3:14. Man either believes it or he disbelieves it. And this is the trial. Let us turn to The Gospels, the 18th chapter of the Gospel of John. Here a man is on trial. He knows who he is. For he's had all the experiences to reveal the being that he is sent into the world to tell the world who he is and tell them who they are, for they are one. So he comes to tell the world who he is. He's brought into trial. And Pilate, the arm of Caesar, is trying him. Pilate said to him, what is truth? But he doesn't reply. He doesn't answer. Pilate said to the crowd, I find no crime in him. But you have a custom that I should release a man to you at this season of the year, at Passover. Will you have me release the king of the Jews? They cried out, not this man, but Barabbas. And then it simply states, barabbas was a robber. That's all that it states. Barabbas was a robber, not this man. Release Barabbas. Well, here's the trial. Who is Barabbas? Because Barabbas was a robber. He's only mentioned in one little statement. But in four gospels, it's very significant to find out who Barabbas was. Let us find out who the thief and the robber is in Scripture. We go Back to the 10th chapter of the Gospel of John, that anyone who enters in any other way than through the door is a thief and a robbery. They did not understand it. So he said to them, I am the door. There is no other way into the sheepfold. I am the door. Anyone who attempts to come in any other way is a thief and a robber. Verses 1 and 9. Now, if you present the case to the world, will you believe it? Will you believe as you are seated here tonight, regardless of your present limitations, the only door into your success, into your future, that is as you would conceive it or desire it to be. There's only one door. And that door is I am. There's no other door into that sheepfold. And if you go through that only door, the sheep will hear your voice. They will recognize your voice as the shepherd. And they will respond. They will respond and come out. So I decide that if I would like to be. And I name it. So I decide that I would like to be. And I name it. I would like to be healthy. If I am unwell at the moment, I would like to be gainfully employed. If I am unemployed, I would like to be. And I name it, to be happily married. And I name all the things that I would like. Excuse me. And I name all the things that I would think would constitute a lovely life in this. In my world. Do I really believe there's only one door into that sheepfold where I could bring all these unseen things out into my world. And these things can only respond to the voice of the shepherd. And that shepherd is I am. So he asked the crowd, and the crowd shouted, release Barabbas. They would not have Jesus released. They'd have none of it. So they choose. Excuse me. So they chose the robber. And the robber rules over them to this very day. That's the world I chose. The robber. My senses robbed me of all that I could be. So I see my bank balance. I know the world as my senses allow it. I know what reason dictates in my world, in my world, and yet I want to be other than what they dictate. Yet I can't bring myself to believe. The only way into that sheepfold is by the only door in the world. And that and the world's door is I am. So here Jesus comes to reveal God in the present tense and man refuses it. So they speak of God in the past. He was or he will be. But few people in world can believe in the reality of I am. I believe that's supposed to be few people in the world. And that's the great trial. You are on trial tonight because you're asked the question, will you believe that your one, that your own wonderful I amness is the one and only God? Or do you believe because of your present social position, intellectual position, financial position, that you are less than someone else and you allow your reason to dictate this as something that is final? Can you believe tonight in this trial and really believe that I am? You name it and dare to believe it. I could tell you unnumbered stories where it has worked. I could tell you unnumbered stories if people would believe me. In this audience tonight, there sits a man who only a few weeks ago was let out of a job. I told him it would take. I'm sorry. I told him it would. It would make no difference to me if he was let out of a job. And they told him it was forever and permanent and that I would hear good news for him. Good news. And so I heard exactly what he would tell me were it true. Tonight, just before I took the platform, he could tell me that he's been transferred to a new job, completely new job, where his income is in excess of what it was before. All things being relative, when you make $13,500 on a job that's not hay yet, it could be 100,000, and I'm telling you right now, I don't care what he's ever done in the world that exceeded 13,000, it could easily be if that's what he wants. There's only one door into the sheepfold, and that door is I am. The supreme effort that God has ever made to reveal himself to us in the present tense came through through Jesus. So Jesus comes affirming God as the eternal contemporary, forever and forever. If tomorrow you have a child or a grandchild, they are going to say, I am. It's contemporary. It's forever contemporary, eternally contemporary. And there wasn't a he was. It's always I am. And so for one to declare I am and simply just name it and sleep just as though it were true, there's no power in the world that can stop it now. This is one level of this fantastic trial. There are numberless levels to this trial. First of all, the word Barabbas means son of a Father. Jesus means Savior. Barabbas means son of a Father. For every child born of a woman is the child of a father. Bar usually means daughter and Ben son, but they're interchangeable depending on the context. And so Barabbas is now known as Son of a Father. And they chose the Son and denied it doesn't say the Father. But I will show you how they denied the Father. For Jesus said in the same Gospel of John, when you see me, you see the Father. How can you say, show us the Father? He who has seen me has seen the Father. So he declares, I am the Father. 14:9. I go back just one verse before it, the sixth verse of the 14th of John, I am the way, the truth, the life. No one comes unto me parentheses my Father, save by me. But no one comes unto the Father but by me. Then he said, excuse me. Then they said, show us the Father and we will be satisfied. He said, I have been so long with you, and yet you do not know me. Philip, question mark. He who has seen me has seen the Father. Now they deny the Father to fulfill the prophecy. The prophecy. They will kill you, excommunicate you. And this they will do because they believe that they are pleasing God. And they do it because they know not the Father. John 16:2 for there's a prophecy that when a son destroys the enemy of Israel, the Lord will set his Father free. But they didn't choose the Father to set him free. They set the Son free, the one that robs them morning, noon and night. They set him free. They wouldn't set the Father free. This I am quoting from the 17th chapter, the 25th verse of the 1st Samuel. He who destroys the enemy of Israel, I will set his Father free in Israel. The Father of the one who destroyed the enemy. His name was I am called Jesse. But the word Jesse, the word Jehovah, and the word Jesus are identical in meaning. They mean simply, I am. I will set that being free. And his name is I am. Now, if tonight you could do what dozens of you, or hundreds of you have done and believe that this is not a little Trick. It always works. And really believe in it. You'd believe in God. What? What? Excuse me. When a lady sits in this audience and she's in her 70s, she has no money. And she dares to sleep in a home in need of repair. And she has no money. And then she looks at the unrepaired, unpainted house. And she could smell the paint. And she could see the whole thing as it would be seen were it true that things are exactly as she wants them to be. And she sleeps in that assumption. What is she actually saying? If I said to her, who is smelling anything? She would say, I am smelling paint. She said, I am. And what do you see? I am seeing repaired house. Seeing a repaired house. What else? I am seeing the whole thing as has been paid for. So she falls asleep in the assumption of seeing from her own wonderful center. I am seeing it. I am smelling the paint. All of these things she's doing. And in one month it's all repaired and paid for with a surplus of $7,000. A gift from one she had never seen in this world. Only communicated with her to two or three times in the course of a year. And here she saw it. Whether she's here tonight or she's been coming recently, I do not know her story. I've told in my latest book. She may even have forgotten the name of God who did it. Well, she might point across the water to a lady in England 8,000 miles away. Who died and left a certain will. Where she received $7,500 in US currency. Which allowed her to do all these things. With something left over. A considerable amount left over. She might think the cause of it all was just the one who died. I tell you the cause of it all. She called upon the only name of God in this world. She went into the sheepfold through the only door in the world. And that door is I am. So she fell asleep in her bed. But before she fell asleep, she saw and could smell the paint. She saw the repaired areas all painted over. And she felt herself giving a check in full payment for all work done. And then she slept. Because it was so much fun. She did it for maybe nine to 10 days. Then came this wonderful draft from England. And a letter from the bank, Lloyd's bank. It was telling her of the story. She entered the sheepfold and they all heard her voice. And they all came out. The sheep happening to be the money. Everything in the world responded to her voice. Everything, but everything. I don't think we have a true understanding of our actual power. But Neville is doing his damnedest here to wake us up to is this powerful, simple I am. She entered the sheepfold and they all heard her voice and they all came out. The sheep happened to be the money. Everything in the world responded to her voice, which was here. She was calling them out, calling out paint, calling out the repair job and calling out everything. They only responded to the voice of the shepherd. Well, who is the shepherd? I am the shepherd. There is no other shepherd. If you think he will shepherd you and put your trust in our president or our mayor or our governor or your father or mother or some uncles who's about to die. And so you are now giving him the most marvelous meal in the world because he's going to leave you in his will. So he is your shepherd. And all these you think are the shepherds, you are simply looking in vain. I've seen it. I've seen people act these ways. Firsthand. Blows my mind. There is no other shepherd and no other door into eternity save the one door. And that door is I am. So here's the greatest trial that ever took place in eternity. And you are called upon to scream out the one you want released. And the world invariably screams out, but not all. There's always that minority who will scream out, release Jesus. But the majority invariably will scream out, release Barabbas. Release the robber. And so they chose the robber. And throughout the centuries, the robber has ruled over them right down to this day. So you and I will go to bed tonight and our senses will dictate what we ought to believe to be true in this world. Read this morning's paper. And 99% of the morning's paper, including the ads, all paid for. You read an ad, that's obvious, it's been paid for. And there may be something you would like to buy. It's perfectly all right. It has been paid for and you know it. But you don't know all the news items were paid for. That has been concealed. They are all paid for. All the press agents all over the world. There is not one person in this world who is in the public eye who does not maintain some press relationship. They call them these not press agents. They've been glamorized into some other name. But it's still. They take your money month after month and they put these little items into the story and you read it morning, noon and night. So you go to bed tonight and you know all these things because you read it. That's what you know. And you are fed Morning, noon and night on all this and you believe that to be true? It's okay, we got you covered. On this channel, we feed Neville morning, noon and night. So we're good to go. I tell you, forget the entire vast world and ask yourself a simple, simple question. What would I like to be? Just look at the world. What would I like to be? Forget clubs, excuse me, forget Cuba, forget Russia, forget China, and forget all this stuff that's going on in the world. So they're telling you in the news at that time, obviously not very quite different from what we're constantly. But would I like to be a decent, wonderful being that contributes to the good of the world, question mark. To be happily married? Question mark. Yes, to be in this world and contribute to the good of the world, but really contribute so that when I am gone and my children's children are gone, that they will say, he gave a thought to the world that was that has fed to. Excuse me when I am gone, but let me repeat this. Yes, to be in this world and contribute to the good of the world, but really contribute so that when I am gone and my children's children are gone, that they will say, he gave a thought to the world that has fed the world. The unborn tomorrow could be fed by what I have left behind me. Would I like to do that at the same time not neglecting my obligations tonight? For I am married. There is a husband, a wife, a child, a father, a mother, and all these things in this world. And they must all, if I love them as I think I do, take care of them. And so I want enough to leave them cushioned regardless of all things. But maybe they didn't hear me, but they don't need my cushion. But maybe they didn't hear me. I'm selfish enough that if they didn't hear me that there's only one door in the world into the great kingdom, that I could still leave them a cushion so that they'll be cushioned against tomorrow's blows. All right, I want that. Well, then, regardless of what the world will tell me, I will assume tonight that I am what I desire to be and dare to fall asleep in the the assumption that it's true, just as though it were true. Regardless of what the whole vast world will tell me, I will actually believe in it. So I will cast my vote. Release Jesus and you hold on to Barabbas. Or else I will say, release Barabbas and hold on to Jesus. And so it is entirely up to us. I either believe it Or I don't believe it. The one called Jesus. His name is I am. Now let me quote you the fourth chapter of Galatians. Whoever added one little phrase in it. All right, maybe they had reasons for it and he had a physical handicap. It is Paul speaking. When I came to you, I was a trial to you. He said, I was a trial, yet you accepted me. And then one little phrase divides the thought. We will omit the phrase. It's the tenth verse. You read the tenth and eleventh verses of the fourth of Galatians. Omit the phrase. And yet he accepted me and received me as Christ Jesus. He's telling you who he is. You accepted me. Now are you going to turn back like those in the desert who disbelieved? And then he said, I see that you're observing days and months and seasons and years. I am afraid I have labored over you in vain. Galatians 4:10. Here we are in what is called a season, the Lenten season. And then we have another season and another month we had a few years ago, the. The Marian year. And all this goes all the way back. I see that you observe days and months and seasons and years. I'm afraid I have labored over you in vain. That man could turn outside of himself when the whole thing was. Has been revealed to him who he really is. And believe in the sacredness of a certain day or a certain month or a certain season or a certain year. He is trying to tell the whole vast world who he is. And they received him as Jesus Christ. There's only Christ. There's only Jesus. Jesus Christ is God, and so are you, and so am I. If I believe it. I am it. If I don't believe it. But if I don't believe it, then I go through all the fires of hell in this world. If I believe it. There's no being in this world that can stop me from sleeping this night in the assumption that I am the man I would be. Just as though it were true, falling asleep in that assumption. Just as though it were true. I will bring it to pass in my world. Because I call all my sheep out. And my sheep are the invisible realities. No one sees them. They come right out and follow the voice of the shepherd, whose voice they hear. They will not obey the voice of a stranger, only the voice of the shepherd. And the shepherd is I am. So here is the greatest trial in the world, and you are the one to judge. You sit as though you sat in a jury, and you bring in your verdict and so he rises and asks those who hear the testimony. And it is customary. And may I tell you, there is no evidence as far back as man can go. There is no evidence to support this claim whatsoever. There's nothing that we know of, save in Scripture. There is no custom to support this amnesty where you forgive someone at this season of the year. None whatsoever, as far back as man can go. No scholar and no historian can find any such custom where there was an amnesty at Passover. It's only attested to in Scripture. So you can see, it's a play. It's a. It is a fantastic play. And here is the play, and every moment of time the play is taking place. It is your custom that I release to you one man. Would you have me release the King of the Jews? Question mark. For he is the King of the Jews. And who is he? Jesus. Who is Jesus? I am. And so are you, and so is every being in the world. That's Jesus, and his name is I am. So the name is one with Jehovah. I and my father are one, as told us in John 10. I and the Father are one. His name is what I am. If I'm one with him, well, then, what's my name? I am. And there is no other way in? No other door? Just one. And so who will you have me release? The King of the Jews, whose name is I Am. Or release Barabbas, who's a robbery, a man based purely on the sense of the body. Release Barabbas. Exclamation. So they release the robber and he to this day rules them. For man cannot believe or is unwilling to believe that something is real that his senses cannot confirm. He must have it confirmed by the senses. If reason allows it, or my senses allow it, then I will accept it. But to sleep this night. I'm unemployed. They tell me there are 6 million unemployed. And I'm not as qualified as I think they're looking for certain qualifications. And I'm to believe that I am gainfully employed and put it up beyond what I made before, more than I ever made before, and go to sleep just as though it were true, and in the conviction that it is true. And then I am employed and it is beyond what I make. So when he told me I can't tell you my thrill, he will not be here because this takes him 100 odd miles. Takes him away 100 odd miles. I say to him, good, go and tell it. Tell it to those in your sphere. Tell it to everyone you that you meet. If we never Meet physically again. It really doesn't matter. I like him personally, he likes me personally. But the physical contact, that's not important. We are forever one in eternity. And so he can't get away from me, and I can't get away from him. Not in eternity. He heard the story, and he knows it works. Now go and tell it. Tell to every being in this world, whether they believe it or not tell it. That's the story. So here we are. At every moment in time, we're called upon to pass judgment upon the eternal drama. The greatest trial that ever took place. God is on trial, and he is presented to the world. And yet the sense of man that he wears is presented because the sense man is what he wears, and so he presents it. Would you believe in me that you cannot see? Well, you can't see. I am. You can see. I am a man that you. That you can see. That's the sense man, a being of sense. But man cannot believe in the reality of I am something entirely different. So here, this great trial will be presented this coming Sunday, called Palm Sunday. But they all will tell the story of how they place the palms before him. If you have the apocryphal Gospels, may I recommend that you read, if you have it, the Gospel of Nicodemus. It's called also the Acts of Pilate. In fact, it's a combination. The title is the Gospel of Nicodemus and the Acts of Pilate. What a fantastic story. It's all about this trial. It's in the apocryphal New Testament. I think many of you have the James's combination of all the apocryphal books. Why they deleted them, I will never know, because they add so much to the thought. But here in this story of the great trial, there they place where they placed the little piece of cloth before him as he came into trial. And all the standards and all the images bowed before him. And they couldn't believe that such things could happen. So they did it over and over and over again. Every time he was brought in, they all bowed before him. Every inanimate object bowed before him as he came into the building on trial. How true that is. Exclamation. May I tell you, you are going to have the thrill of your life one day when suddenly the whole vast world's going to stand still before you and it will be dead, but really dead. You'll look at it, and then you'll release it, and it will move on and you'll stop it, and you stop it. Right in its motion, you'll stop it to prove that you truly are life and life itself. So when you read these words, I am the way, I. I am the way, the truth and the life, you'll know how true that statement is. When he said, I am the truth, can't you see what marvelous thing he's telling you? A true judgment need not conform to the external fact to which it relates. Today I will say what is true concerning my world. Well, I pay so much rent and I have an average income of so much, and I have certain obligations to life. And these seem to be the facts. That's true, I tell you. That isn't true. For a true judgment need not conform to the external fact to which it relates. Truth depends on the intensity of imagining and not upon fact. So I will imagine that I am, and I'll name it in that which I want to be. Believing that I am that which I'm assuming that I am and remaining loyal to that assumption I become. Doesn't matter what it is. I have done it, or I wouldn't be here tonight. I've actually done it time and time again. But man will always slip back into Barabbas, the man of sense. We must ever remember the trial and always move out in spite of all of the facts that would deny it. Live in the dream just as though it were true. And no power in the world can stop you from becoming the fulfillment of your dream. But no power. You don't need any other being because God's name is not he is or she is or they is or they are. His name is I am. Before you say anything in this world, you have to say, I am. You don't pronounce it. If I ask, who are you? You'll say John. But. But before you say John, you say actually in the depths of yourself, I am John. Before you said anything, you actually were aware of being. And that awareness of being was actually declaring in the depths I am. And that is God. There is no other God. So God stands on trial and he will be tried in all the churches of Christendom. And this coming week they will all weep and carry on how God was tried. And the crowd shouted out, release the thief and a robber, one who was an insurrectionist and they do not know who he is. They'll make some mental picture of a horrible beast who was an awful, awful man. And that's not the man at all. They are the man. For they are calling to release themselves of sense, make the real being in the world and hold on and deny Jesus. So listen to these words in the 16th chapter of X. Believe in the Lord Jesus and be saved, you and your household. Verse 31. Well, the only Jesus that you could ever believe in, that could save you would be I am. Well, that's his name. Exodus 3:14. Believe in the Lord Jesus and be saved, you and your household. He has only one name in this world. For the word Jesus simply means I am. It is spelled Yodhe, Vow, Shin, Ayan. The root of the name of Jehovah is Yodhevao. The shin Ayin, put into the name of Jesus, which is Jeshua, is for definite purpose. Shin is made in three little prongs like that, and it's called a consuming fire. A tooth that devours, that consumes. An ayan is an eye. Were it not for that in the name of Jesus, I would have to accept as final everything that I see. But in the name of Jesus, which is called Savior, what I don't want, I can consume. So it's yard. Hey, Vow, Shin, Ayin. So the Yod Hei vow is the root. That's Jehovah, that is God, and that is I am. But a shin is put into my name. So is Ayin but a shin. I can just see the world. I don't like the way you look. Don't you feel well? No. Well, then I can consume. Then I will consume it. I will see you as though you ought to be seen by me, and the world seen by yourself. Therefore, if I actually see you differently, I am consuming what formerly you appeared to be. How would I do it? The Ayin is an I. So what is his name when he comes into the world? And how does he operate? Listen to it carefully. The 11th chapter of the book of Isaiah. When he comes into the world, he will not judge by what his eye sees or decide by what his ears hear. Verse three. So I see. Go to the hospital, you're going to die. Go to anyone else and you see it's fatal. Regardless of the nature. It's all that can't get a job. There are too many unemployed, this, that and the other. There it is the fact I will not judge, but by what my eyes see. Neither will I decide by what my ears hear. So what would I do then? I will see what I want to see. But now as Qin is present, it consumes the former state, completely consumes the fact as it seemed to to me to be real. And I will put in its place what I want to see and what I want to hear. So then they tried to quench the voice of Peter and John. And they said what they would do to them if they continued to teach this story. This is the fourth of Acts. And they said to the Sanhedrin, the great wise men of the day, whether it is right in the eyes of God to believe in you and not in God, you must judge. But we cannot speak other than what we have seen and heard. So whether you think I should do what you tell me I should do. All right, you judge it. The wise men of the world who were called the leaders in politics or in religion, they will tell you without vision what you should see and what you should preach. They had no vision, none whatsoever, and never had one in eternity. But they're going to tell you how you should tell the story. But whether it is right in the eyes of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge. For we cannot preach other than that what we have seen and heard. Verse 19. So I cannot preach other than what I've seen and heard. And may I tell you, I have seen this story. When you see it from afar, it's one man, just one man. And as you approach it, it becomes unnumbered races and nations of people. I saw it so clearly one night when Blake asked me to fall backward. And I did exactly what he told me to do to produce the vision. And here was one man, a glorious man, a radiant man. And his heart was all like living ruby. I approached him. I moved forward. I fell through space like a meteor. And when I came to a standstill here, I saw one man. Then, at Blake's suggestion, I moved forward. Well, this was one man, a radiant being. As I came closer, I noticed the heart was like a ruby. And there were unnumbered, innumerable beings making up the heart. The whole body was made up of nations and races, the whole body. When I came close enough, I recognized myself. I was he, containing within myself the whole of humanity. So I know from experience that when you see God, you'll see yourself at a distance. It's one man. And as you approach, it becomes unknown, numbered men, composed of races and nations, all one. So this whole vast thing is the most wonderful play. And the final drama leading up to that very exit from this sphere is this trial. So I hope that you will bring in your verdict tonight. And your verdict will be, Release Jesus. But if your verdict is no, I must accept my senses more than I will accept the invisible reality. Well, then, it's your choice. You're free to bring in your verdict. But your verdict will be brought by you. I can recommend the spirit if you dare to believe in the reality of your own wonderful. I am ness believing that it is God and there is no other God. Listen to the words. I am the Lord thy God and the Holy One of Israel thy Savior. And besides me there is no Savior. Isaiah 43:3 11. There is no other Savior. I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel thy Savior. And besides me there is no Savior. Believe that and rather die than turn back. And you are moving toward being born from above. Now let us go into the silence. I am. I am good. That's what Neville used to say at the end of his two minute silence period. Question inaudible Is there a fixed guide? Question back to the inaudible questioner. Well, some believe that all of us present here, present here have a certain code of decency. And I would go along with it. But I would put into practice what I told you tonight. I would guide myself with my code of ethics. I couldn't. If asked. If you asked me tonight, although all things are possible to God, if you asked me to join with you in knowing that someone was dead for your good fortune, I could not. I would not deny you the right to want it. But I would say go elsewhere. I could not actually dream with you that someone died because you were left in this. In his will. I still can't even fathom this kind of. But I would not deny you the right to watch. I'm sorry to want such a thing. I mean, it's your right. Right? It's. I would leave it alone. Up to your judgment. So we all have a certain code. And I think that anyone who would come to a meeting of this nature would have a code of decency. What I would call a code of decency. Same thing with watching these videos. You have that code. You wouldn't be here. You would have. You would have left a long time ago. And so I'm always right. If whenever I use my imagination, I use it lovingly on behalf of. Of another. If I ever use my imagination lovingly on behalf of another, I am on the right track. So that to me would be the guide. Is it a loving thing to do? We have that wonderful statement in the Bible. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. So would you have someone because you have wealth and you've named them. See that you make your exit tonight because it would be easier for them tomorrow. Would you want that? No. Well then. Blank space. The state Today. So do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It is the simplest code in the world. It is done in the positive manner. Do not. Do not do. But it is written in the positive in the New Testament. In all other religions, it is written in the negative. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. So that would I like in this world? So what would I like in this world? Excuse me. So what would I like in this world? Something lovely. Something wonderful. Well, do the same thing to anyone in the world. And every time you use your imagination lovingly on behalf of another, you have done the right thing. Question. Inaudible answer Neville, read Galatians, the fourth chapter, the 14th verse, that one little thought that is as an angel is superfluous because the next phrase is as Christ Jesus. But as an angel, it might not stop. Excuse me. It might stop right away. That is all inserted to cushion him because they actually saw him as the central being himself. They looked upon me as Christ Jesus. But if you put the little phrase before it as an angel, that arrests the mind. And you don't associate Paul with Christ Jesus. I tell you, he was the one in whom the whole thing awoke. It was Paul. Everything has to come right out of the Jewish. The world will not believe it. It is the most fantastic story in the world. Now, Bishop pike, who was born a Catholic and became a priest, gave it up and became agnostic. Un agnostic. Then he became a most brilliant lawyer in New York City practicing corporate law. He then rejoined the church as a Protestant priest. He then rejoined the church as a Protestant and rose in no time. He was only in his 40s to Bishop pike of California. If you've ever heard him, he is an able speaker. He has a wonderful, brilliant mind. Bishop pike made the statement, I am a Jew. Remember, he was born and raised a Catholic, became a Catholic priest, gave it up, became an agnostic, became a lawyer and went back into the priesthood, this time as a Protestant priest. Now he is the highest in the Protestant world. You can't go beyond that. You may move from one section to the other, but he is tops in Northern California. And he said, I am a Jew because I am a Christian. I could be a Jew and not be a Christian, but I can't be a Christian and not be a Jew. Now we know where Neville got that. You think about it. Meditate upon that tonight. It's true. The whole thing comes out of Israel. It's a mystery. The most fantastic mystery in the world. So I'm proud to say I am a Jew because I am a Christian. I have been born from above. I couldn't possibly be unless I were the Jew. And I know when the veil is lifted and the whole thing is revealed. Well, it's fantasy beyond the wildest dream. Good night. Wow. Wow. Goodness, goodness, goodness. Man, oh man. Neville throwing down as usual. Barabbas or Jesus. I know, I've heard the audio and it's. It's definitely different than this. And this was very, very clear. I mean to me it was. I hope it was to you. The robber is robbing you of your senses to understand or of your sense to understand that I am so being robbed of your I am ness. It takes us effort to apply our I am ness. That's why you see the constant people who come into this law of assumption community per se, they want a quick fix. They have an exam. They have an ex boyfriend or girlfriend or the have a marriage on the rocks or a job on the rocks or anything, health on the rocks and they come in for the quick and dirty fix. I just want it now. Willy Wonka. So it's not about that. When you have stated release Barabbas the robber and you're living according to that. If you're living according to that and you have no sense of I am, your senses are being deceived. I am is the only way. It is the door. What a great lecture. I mean to tell you, who would you release? Who are you releasing? Who has been released within you? That's your homework question. All right, we're going to see you in the next one.
