Gathered One By One - Neville Goddard (11-17-1964) | Full Reading + Commentary

Neville Goddard, 1964 Lectures gathered one by one, November 17, 1964. Tonight's subject, as usual, is all about the reality we call God. We titled it. You shall be gathered one by one tonight. I hope to make it a very practical picture. Do not be ashamed of your testament to our Lord. For our Lord, as far as I'm concerned, is our own wonderful human imagination. If you've experimented and you've proven it, then don't be ashamed, no matter what the world would say to tell it. I have just quoted from the first chapter of Second Timothy. Do not be ashamed of our testimony to our Lord. He's right there. If you've proven it in performance, so what does it matter if the whole world denies it? You tell it. Because what you and I know from experience, we know more thoroughly than we know anything else in this world if we know it from experience. I got to throw this in. I was going to eat the other day, and I just said, I want to park right in front. I want to be sitting right at the window, and I want to see my car right there. And so I got on that main street and I saw that there was a car with the blinker on waiting for a car to back out in the exact spot, well, maybe the next spot, but it was right in front of the window. Didn't matter to me. It's like four or five spots. So I'm coming down a block away, a long block, and that car's got the blinker on, and there's two cars in front of it at a light, and the car's got a blinker on, and this car is backing out between the two cars waiting for the light and the space between this car waiting to what I think is going to pull in. But I had at home, imagined myself seated at the window, looking out upon the situation, and my car's right there. I get closer and closer and I still see myself. I still hold the faith that I'm looking at my car parked right there. But I see that car with the blinker on is about to take my spot. But I hold the faith. I hold the faith. I'm in the window, enjoying my food. Looking back on my parking space where I parked, I can see my car light turns green. The two cars waiting take off. It's a T intersection. So at the light they got to make a right or a left. The car with the blinker on was waiting to make his right because after the car pulled out and took off to make his right or left the car that I thought was going to take the spot, went straight and made his right at the intersection, leaving me my spot. You must test it and gain experience by applying it. As simple as a parking spot. Is it working? It then becomes your experience of applying the law. It isn't a coincidence that I parked there. I went inside. I chose because I already had the spot. I chose not to sit at the window. It was too breezy. I chose to sit a little bit farther away and face the other direction. Very small place. Instead of sitting at the window facing out, which was empty of people and there was too much breeze, I sat across the way, facing the opposite direction, towards the wall and the TVs and where the people were. So it proved itself. I'm telling you right now. I'm telling it. It proved itself perfectly perfect in application. I even saw what looked like it was going to be taking away my vision, my application of the law. I saw something that wanted to take it, but it didn't want to take it. That was my doubt. But I had to hold the faith. I had to keep the faith. Faith. I had to hold it. That bird sitting on the egg at Neville's window and the wind's thrashing that branch. The bird is keeping the faith. Its job is to hatch it out the egg. What's my job? To hatch out the experience. What's your job? Hatch out the experience. Take your idea of a parking space. We're keeping it simple here. And see yourself looking back at your car right in front. I've done it too many times to count. Too many times. You can do it, do it. You got to get the experience there. It has to start somewhere. And this will flush doubt out of the picture. You can see I had a doubt because there was a car with a blinker on that was my actual physical doubt in the 3D. And I said, nope, I'm holding the faith. I'm holding onto this. I had the faith that I'm going to be looking back at my car. So in my mind, in my imagination while driving, I immediately put myself looking at the car with my eyes open. Still got to be safe. You tell it. Because what you and I know from experience, we know more thoroughly than we know anything else in the world. In this world, we know it from experience. So don't ever hesitate to tell it. In fact, the individual who has actually experienced God's word cannot escape the responsibility of telling its meaning to others. He just can't do it. He must tell it to everyone in the world for the simple reason we're only one. And thank God for YouTube, because this story can repeat. It can go on repeat. Evergreen material. I don't have to worry about it. There's only one being in this world, and that being when one awakes. They call Jesus the Christ the only being in the world. So you put yourself to the test. Not another. Not testing another testing self. There is no other. And when you test yourself and prove, and it proves itself in performance, then because there is no other, you share it with every other being in the world. The Old Testament is simply a series. The most marvelous, permanent series of states through which you and I pass. The New Testament is its fulfillment. Last Friday night I asked you who were here to read the 13th chapter of First Kings. I hope you did remember the example and put yourself as the God in the story, the man of God in that particular chapter. I hope you read it seriously and contemplated it. If you were not here and there is someone tonight who is here for the first time or maybe was not here last Friday, let me give you the highlights. And behold a man of God from Judah. And he came with a message. The message was the destruction of that which was not faithful to God. It worshiped false gods. It was the altar of Bethel, the house of God. But he was given a certain condition. He must not eat bread and drink water in the area that he came to pronounce this prophecy. And he must not return the way he came. He must not. In the story, he was deceived by a false spirit. And so he ate of the bread of that area and he drank of the water. Then the prophet who had received the false message said to him, because you disobeyed the word of the Lord your God, you shall not return to the tomb of your fathers. In other words, he would die on his way back. And it was fulfilled. He was killed on his way back by the lion. When you read that, you wonder, what is it all about? It started to creep in as I was rereading that synopsis there. The symbolism started to come alive inside here of what that is about. But I'll see if we're on the same page. When you read that, you wonder, what is it all about? Let me share with you what it's all about, for I have experienced this in its positive state. I did not eat or drink in the area where I was sent to give a message and I returned to the tomb of my father. If you do not, you cannot return to the tomb of your father. So let me share with you this strange and Wonderful mystery. If you haven't had it, you're going to have it. Because there is only one being in the world. And that being is God. And you are God. You're playing all of the parts in the world. And these are placed like an obstacle race. Like an obstacle race. And you and I pass through them, coming towards the ultimate end, which is God's, which is God awakening. That's all. You begin as God. The way is God. The end is God. There is nothing but God. Well, here, maybe 10 years ago, I saw what I should not see if reason prevailed. For I'm seeing the most wonderful interior of a fabulous building. Consciousness followed vision. And I stepped into the vision that I contemplated and I explored. Then I saw two ladies. And I told them, ladies, this is a dream. This is a vision. They were afraid. They were frightened because to them that world has. Excuse me. They were afraid because to them that world was no vision. That was real. Like this is solidly real. Yet I knew the origin was vision. And because all ends run true to origins, if the origin was a vision, the end is a vision. So I told them, this whole vast world is a dream. And I am the dreamer of the dream. Well, they were afraid, they were frightened. And they got as far as they could from me. And. And then when they got out of sight, practically, they ran. I did not eat their bread. To eat of one's bread is to believe one's beliefs. They told me that what I said wasn't true. I was adamant. I believed it implicitly. Because I saw began as a vision. The end must be vision. So I was not diverted by their behavior. Therefore, I did not eat of their bread. I did not drink the water of their truth. Because they believed that they were living in a solid, solidly real world as this is real. And I returned not the way I came. How did I return? I stepped into that world as I came onto this stage tonight. I walked onto this stage tonight. That's how I walked into that world. But I didn't return. Walking from that point in space back to where I was on my bed. This is how I went back. Another vision many years before. I found myself in a dream. And I knew it was a dream. But I prolonged the dream till I got to a stationary object. It was a huge pillar driven into the sea, as a matter of fact. Excuse me, I just put up the shorts. Today's shorts on my channel. If you look at the shorts, it's from a lecture where he tells this exact same thing. So if you see the shorts in my shorts that I put up, they're from lectures that I have on my channel. So if I did a chapter out of the faith, your faith is your fortune. And I'll take each chapter and make shorts of that chapter, the relevant points. But each short will have in there the ability to link to the actual chapter or lecture it's from. Well, today's shorts from Neville on today's date, June 14, happen to be from a lecture where he does tell this story. It's a coincidence because I was working that at 5 this morning or whatever. Oh, dark 30 this morning. I rise early. So I was working on that very early this morning. And it's funny now I'm reading it, but it's not the same. It's not titled this at all. So he does use this story a couple times. Just wanted to throw that out there. It's a good lecture too. I'll be making these shorts and I'll come across some lectures. I'm like, oh, my gosh, I haven't heard that one before. And I'll make a whole blast of shorts. And then I'm like, oh, man. I mean, it's like a gold mine, this information. I tell you, you just go from one nugget to another nugget. And this is all of it right here, man. Many years before, I found myself in a dream. And I knew it was a dream, but I prolonged the dream until I got to a stationary object. It was a huge pillar driven into the sea. A pillar about that blank space in diameter. And I felt that if I could hold it, it's stationary. It's not a movable object like an animal or something, say, man, it was simply stationary. If I could hold it and not let it go, I may prove to myself that what inwardly I knew, I felt that if I in a dream could hold an object and not let it go and make myself awake, I would awake. In the dream, I found myself in water and there were these pillars driven into the sea. So when he's talking about the diameter. If you've not been around a pier. I'm sure everybody has been around a pier or seen one on TV or a movie. But, you know, the pylons are probably 16 inches or so. The bridge that it formerly supported was gone, but the pillars remained. And I held it. I wouldn't let go. And it made myself awake. And I awoke in my dream. I was just as awake as I am now in this room. I am no more awake now in this room than I Was then when I held this pillar. And I knew that feeling was the secret. If I could but touch it. And then memory returned. I went Back to the 27th chapter of Genesis. These fantastic stories. Empires come and go, but the truth of the word of God remains forever. Isaac is blind. And he said to the voice that he heard, come close, my son. You sound like my son Jacob. Come close. So Jacob came close. He said, who are you? And Jacob answered, I am your son Esau. Come close. For I am blind. I cannot see. So Jacob, clothed in skins to resemble his brother Esau, came close. And the blind father touched him. And the blind father said, your hands feel like Esau, and you have the smell of Esau, but you sound like Jacob. But I will now pronounce the blessing based upon feel. And he pronounced the blessing. And he gave reality to what he felt. And Jacob supplanted his brother Esau. And Jacob means the supplanter. So I felt this thing, and I felt it to be solid when I touched it. My hands didn't go across each other and meet this way. They simply were as far apart as the object of my vision. And I held it, and I wouldn't let it go. I said, wake. Come on, wake up. And I woke up. I woke in my dream. And my dream was just like this, just as real as this. Then I waded ashore as I waited ashore unto this tropical isle, not the Caribbean, for I know them well. I do not know the Pacific as of this moment in time, but it seemed to me like the Pacific. Homes built on stilts, either to avoid the animals or to avoid floods. What, I don't know, homes were built on stilts. As I got ashore, I saw a strange looking animal, a horrible looking thing. And it came towards me. Then I returned by a way I did not come. I was frightened out of my wits, as it were. So the statement frightened unto death isn't really far off, is it really far off amiss? As it came towards me, I was simply frightened. And then I broke the entire thing and found myself back on my bed. But the world from which I returned was just as real as the world to which I returned. So I know that it started as a dream. The end must be a dream. It started as a vision. The end must be a vision. This is just as much a vision. It started as a vision. And the end is a vision. And we are the dreamer of the dream. And that I do not, excuse me. And that I do know. I know it from my own personal experience. What was the line in the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the little girls. Veruca Salt says to Willy Wonka, snozzberries. Who ever heard of snozzberries? And Willy Wonka says back to her, I think as much of a snide manner as he could to snap her out of it. We are the dreamers of the dream. And I forget the rest of the quote, but it's a wonderful little piece. And it's on YouTube, too. But the little girl was so practical in her. It's not a. It can't be a snozzberry. Whoever heard of that? They were licking the wall. It was like a. There used to be this thing called scratch and sniff where you could scratch like a blueberry and smell blueberry or smell strawberry. But in Willy Wonka's movie, there in the first one, not the second one. I don't even know what the second one is. Can't even imagine why that was even made. Johnny Depp, Congratulations. Whatever. The point of the first one was about imagination. That movie is all about imagination. If you haven't seen it, you should definitely see it. It is strictly, primarily focused about imagination. It's a wonderful movie. I saw it when I was a very little kid. It's very worth watching if you have not seen the first Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Gene Wilder is Willy Wonka, Snozberries. Who ever heard of Snozberry's? Veruca Salt says Gene Wilder. As Willy Wonka says, we are the dreamers of the dream. He said some other things, but it was so wonderful. And there it is in a movie, in the text, in the written form of. I think this was early 70s, maybe even 60s, by the look of the clothes in my memory. This is just such a. This is just as much a vision. It started as a vision and the end is a vision. And we are the dreamer of the dream. And that I do know. I know it from my own personal experience. And we also know dreams only come from one place. He's dreaming them now. In the 13th chapter that I asked you to read of First Kings, he was warned not to eat the bread of that place and drink the water of that place. He was deceived by a lying spirit, and he ate the bread and drank the water. Then the old prophet said to him, because you disobeyed the word, I of the Lord your God, you shall not return to the tomb of your fathers. And so he was killed on the way. Had I not obeyed the voice of God, the body to which I returned would have been dead. Ooh, that would be like, no bueno. I don't know if you could return like that. I don't think you would. I honestly, I haven't read farther than this book yet. But I'm here to tell you that if in your dream, like I said, of a friend who. His girlfriend, who he was very much in love with, was trying to draw him and reach for his hand, and if you're keeping score at home and following all these lectures, you've heard this story at least once, she was trying to grab his hand and bring him with her, and he was reaching for her hand, but he was also deciding to stay here, and she was bringing him. Well, in that bringing of him, he wouldn't have returned to a body that would have been kaput. He would have gone on to another body with her. But the body he was in and dreaming from would no longer have him awake there. So consciousness would not dwell there anymore. So in that example of that story and from what my background of the set material is, and understanding consciousness with Neville and all of this put together, you just keep traveling as he just made a statement about returning to the body, you wouldn't. You couldn't. Consciousness can't dwell there. So there's no reason. But. But although, having said this, excuse me, I've been killed in dreams so many times, but I still was conscious in that body. So excuse me for this. Many times, just a couple weeks ago. So, hey, we're learning together, aren't we? Had I not obeyed the voice of God, the body to which I returned would have been dead. I returned to this body. When I told the ladies the whole thing in a vision, and the end is a vision, they did not believe me. Their disbelief would have caused me to actually live in that world of reality. It seemed so real, just like this. I would have feasted on their beliefs of that reality and not been faithful to the message that I brought, which was. It began as a vision. The end is a vision for all ends run true to origins. I remained faithful to the message, to my message that I took. So when I came back, the body was cataleptic. It was dead. I entered it. I'm a living presence in a dead body. I animated it. After how long, I do not know, but I animated it and I. And it returned. It was restored to life. And if you haven't had a bout of catalepsy. Catalepsy is a word that means basically, you just feel like you can't move whatsoever. And you may have had a. It's very common to have a cataleptic experience where, and I've had it many, many, many times, where you think there's somebody in the room behind you, like you're on your side and you can't move. And for the life of you, you want to look or turn and see and there's somebody there and you have a fear trembling within you and you're trying to move, but you can't move. Your body is dead from what he just said in this example, you're dead. You haven't restored the ability to move. You're in a cataleptic state or known as a state of catalepsy, which is a very common state. As you get into more of these out of body experiences or lucid dream experiences, you'll definitely have an understanding of catalepsy before long. What a wonderful chapter. Boy, oh boy. Then I experienced the 11th chapter of the Gospel of John. That's the story of John the Baptist. No other did it. There is no other. You are Jesus Christ. So when Jesus Christ restores the body and makes it once more alive, it is from within, it is not from without. Jesus Christ in you is the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in thee? No outside animating you. 2 Corinthians 13:5. So I returned and found the body dead. But I did not disobey the word. I delivered a message. The message is, the whole thing is a dream. It's all a vision. For it started as a vision and the end must be a vision. I gotta tell. This came across my mind this morning. Now I found the moment to say it. It's come across my mind many times. But I awoke in a vision once where I were sitting on the ground. Sitting against the wall on the ground, like when you're, you know, sitting on your butt against the wall was Magic Johnson. This is. This happened to me in the 90s, obviously, for what I'm about to say. But you had Magic Johnson and you had this Indian advisor. What was his name? Oh, my gosh. I'm trying to tell a story and I forgot his name. A very famous Indian guy who's known from the 90s and 2000s. He's written many books, I believe. And he's an East Indian descent and his name is, in this vision, Magic Johnson. And at the time it was a very popular thing that he had aids. And he was going through this whole ordeal of health. And in this vision, I awoke in this guy this Indian guy was giving advice to Magic Johnson. But only he could give. Because I was sitting there whispering in the ear of this Indian guy. So I'm sitting there advising him. And in the vision, he's busy advising Magic Johnson. I'm telling you, man, you just got to record these things. You have these things. You're like, what the heck is this? How am I here? And I'm advising this guy while he's advising that guy. It was the most profound, profound experience. I definitely wrote it down because I remember it so well. I'll remember the name of the guy, and I. I apologize. But I'll have that in the next video. If it comes to me in this video, I'll bring it up. The whole thing is a dream. It's all a vision. For it started as a vision. And the end must be a vision. And then they tried to give me other bread and other water. But their world is real, and it was real. There is no more real. I'm sorry. This is no more real than that world. May I tell you, this little thing here, this lectern. Is no more solidly real. Than the things I touched in that world. But I did not forget the origin of the whole thing. It was all vision, so I couldn't forget the origin. And the end had to be consistent with the origin. So I did not eat of their beliefs. I did not drink of their truth. And I did not return the way I came. For I walked into that world just as I walked into here tonight. But I returned by a way. I discovered years before that. The way of feeling where I actually felt this huge pillar. And woke within a dream. And so I knew if I could now feel a pedal pillow behind my neck. And actually feel it, I would return. By the way, I did not come. So I felt a pillow under my head while standing in this hallway. And then in a little while, I could feel the pillow. And instead of being vertical, I was horizontal. And the end. I am in a dead body. This body here that is now animated. Was cataleptic and dead. I came into it in a dead body. How long I remained trying to animate it, I don't know. Could have been a minute, could have been an hour. I don't know. I only know that after a while, the little finger could move. And then the wrist could move. And then the elbow could move. And then the body could move. And finally, with tremendous effort, I could open the eyelids. The eyes opened upon a familiar scene that told me I was back in my home on El Camino. In Beverly Hills. So I returned not by the way, I had gone into the other world. And you heard my story in the previous video to this, where I was body surfing and I went over the falls. Maybe it's a couple videos. I think the video came out Friday. What would that date be? June 13, I think is the video. But I went over the falls body surfing and I was in the water in a body that was to me, dead, paralyzed from the waist down. I thought completely. And then slowly, I mean, I'm identifying fully with what he's saying here from that story. Because I was sitting there in the water thinking, I'm doomed. This is screwed, man. Now the ambulance is going to come and get me. Blah, blah, blah. I'm like, oh, my gosh, man. I went too far going over the falls on that one particular wave. But as I slowly, all of a sudden, my legs could move my feet, I could feel them moving in the water with the fins. And I'm like, what the heck? Everything feels normal. It felt completely normal. I returned. It's reanimated from within. What he just said, I experienced as I talked about in that story in the previous video. I returned not by the way. I had gone into the other world. I'm not even going to try and explain that whole thing again. But wow. The command was a man of God suddenly appeared. Where? He appeared from Judah. The word Judah is spelled Yod hey, Vow, Daleth Hey. The name of God is the name Yod hey. Vow hey is in the name of Judah. Only one letter is put into it other than Yod hey, Vow hey. And that letter is Daleth. Daleth is a door. He said, I am the door. John 7, 9. You get it? Who sent him? The word Judah is defined as he himself. It's defined as the hand, the creative hand of God. If there is one thing in this world that separates man from the whole vast world of creation, it's the hand. A monkey thinks it has a hand, or you think it has a hand? No, it's used only to convey food to its mouth and to swing from branch to branch. A man's hand fashions. You could be the most brilliant being in this world. Without a hand, you could only be a smart monkey. It takes a hand to create in this world. And the hand separates the whole vast world of creation from man. Man is God. He has a hand. He can fashion, he can create. No matter how brilliant the mind is, if you didn't have a hand, you could not express yourself. If you want an Example of what a hand does, just go to the Vatican, go to St. Peter's Basilica and look at any and all of that most incredible artwork, unbelievable, those tapestries and paintings. And it is mind blowing that all of that came from the hand. We know of course where the magic is, but it has to be conveyed through the creativity, has to come out. And through the hand you can see. I am pretty sure you could probably see everything in the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica on and through YouTube. I am most positive because they don't mind you filming everything. So the word Judah, yod, hey, vow, Daleth, hey is defined as a hand, dominion, power, that creative power that is God. So when you are told, behold, a man of God came from Judah, came from what he himself came. But in these stories of the Old Testament, they are told negatively. And so you do not return the way you came. You fail to be faithful to the vision. You entered a world that was real, so real you're carried away with the reality of it. And so when you told your story and they showed you how real it was and you could actually test the reality of it, you forgot the origin. You forgot God. For the origin of it was the dreamer. And the dreamer is God. It started in you as a dream. That dreamer, which is yourself, is God. You didn't forget it after a while that it started as a vision and therefore it still is a vision. So you did not go into a false God. So when the man of God came in the Book of Kings, he came to destroy the altar that worshiped false gods. They were carried away and he ate of the bread of the world into which he came. It seemed so real. He partook of it. He drank the water of that world, the truth of that world. He partook of it and forgot the origin of it all. So on his way back, he did not return by another way. He came back and he was killed on the way. In the New Testament, the positive aspect of it is he did not return the way he came. He remembered. He remembered the cause of it. And. And therefore the end of it must be equal to the cause in the book of Zechariah, which is almost at the very end, the 38th book of the Old Testament. On that day the Lord will be one and his name one. The word Zechariah means Jehovah was remembered. Excuse me? Jehovah has remembered. Zechariah means Jehovah has remembered. He remembered he didn't forget the origin of the phenomena of life. And he remembered he didn't forget the origin of the phenomena of life. He remembered his name is one. We're all one. And that one when we awake, we will call Jesus the Christ. And you and I are he. As we actually awake, we are He. So I told you a week ago that the one whom he loved is the one he restored to life. It didn't fail. Memory returned. So he came into a dead body. And the story is told as though someone on the outside awoke him. No, not someone on the outside. From within himself. He was faithful to the vision. And he returned and came out. For he is Jesus Christ. He had not yet realized the grand turning point, which is resurrection that comes after. But he restored his body to life. A friend of mine in San Francisco last September, a surgeon, and he told me that 10% of all autopsies reveal no cause of death. Now you will see who they are who were not faithful to the vision. Goodness gracious. Oops. Oh, man. Seth has some very interesting things to say here too. But I'll wait and see if we flesh it out more. Now you will see who they were not faithful. Now you will see who they are who were not faithful to the vision. So they fell asleep one night and suddenly vision took place and they went into the world that they contemplated. And it seemed. Seems so real. And it is. May I tell you, there is nothing in this world more real than these worlds into which you step. I'm here to tell you, man, it is so much more vibrant. You're in a lucid state or an out of body, and it is magnificently more vibrant than right here. As I said many times you wake up here and you think this is pastel compared to that color. This is basically pastel. Like it doesn't have any vibrancy or juice in it. I have some new sauerkraut I bought right at Costco. And it's the raw. It's called raw something. And it's fermentate, it's fermenting. It's fermented food. It's cold, it's refrigerator. And as I take a forkload of it, it's just so alive. You can feel its energy. I can. I can definitely perceive its aliveness. And it's magic. I just. With each bite, in each bite, I can sense that just magic. And just. It's got that vinegary, you know, just like you can just sense it bubbling and being. It's magic. But that's a small, tiny experience. In this reality. You go into a sleep state or dream state or a lucid state or an out of body state and you become so convinced it's real now to me, all of mine I have visited but I have not forgotten. Apparently because we're talking. But man, they are so real. Even more real. Like Neville just said, you there's just this vibrancy, this magnetic vibrancy that I could see how easy it would be to lose yourself in the experience. I haven't, but. And my friend who is girlfriend was trying to bring him. I'm sure he felt that same energy going on right there, but he chose not to. And so may I tell you there's nothing in this world more real than these worlds into which you step. And the world is so real they are carried away with the reality of it. And they eat of the bread and drink of the water of that world. And they never get back. Boy, oh boy, what it took. What kind of meditation, dreaming and contemplating what it took Neville to break this one down. This one is really profound. They never returned to the tomb of their father. For the tomb of the father is this body a heck of a sentence. We are buried in it. We are the Fathers and we're buried in these bodies. You never return to the tomb of the Fathers as told you in the 13th chapter of First Kings. But if you do not eat of that world and accept the solid reality of it as we do here, you will return by a way you did not come. May I suggest if this night you have not had the experience or you can't bring it back and you find yourself moving into such a world. The way back is feeling. You feel anything in this world which is the world of your father. For this body is the tomb of the Father. So anything that is familiar here and you touch it and you don't let it go and make yourself wake within you awake here in this tomb. If it takes you a minute or an hour or longer, you will activate it, you will animate it, you will restore it to life in this world. And they won't take your body to the morgue and cut it up to find no cause of death. What I love about the Neville material man is I never know in what lecture and how deep he's going to go or if he's going to go to the Promise or the Law. It seems to be all promise. But this is deep right here. He's definitely laying it out, man. This is reading these sight unseen. This is the most. This is the best way to do it coming from my perspective because if I'm busy thinking of what I can say to you then I'm like, I'm not trying to gatekeep anything ever. Never ever, ever. I don't do that kind of thing. I don't go there. But it's like, what do I say when. How do you introduce certain concepts? The wonder of Neville is if you went to one of his lectures, how is he going to surprise you that night? Because this, if you were at this lecture, man, you'd have to be holding on for, I mean, wow. To tell you, man, wow. This is some good and very complex deep stuff. But take it for what he's saying. It just think of something in your world and hold on to it and come awake. And I am told that, and I am told this is a universal picture that all over the world, those who operate on dead bodies as they do day after day to find the cause of death, especially in a world where everyone is insured and they must, and they must, for insurance reasons, find out some cause. And 10% reveal no physical cause of death. They are the ones who did not obey the command of the Lord not to eat and drink in the place where you are sent. Just give the order. In my case, I was sent to tell them the world is a vision. That I know it because it just happened to me. It started as a vision, therefore it still is a vision and the end is a vision. And they didn't believe me. But in spite of their disbelief, I got to say this real quick. I've had many of these experiences. Now I know what they are. Now only in this can I reconcile these things where I would be coming out of a dream, but it was like a vision or a dream. I was actually communicating with people about how you create your own reality. And I was describing and telling, but then I was then dissolving from the experience of being in the dream with them. And I was leaving, I was leaving and I was trying to communicate on the way out, don't forget. I was like literally, emphatically, don't forget. Just your thoughts, create your reality, things like that, things exactly like that, at least half a dozen times, maybe even more on the way out of the dream experience. I'm communicating about how it is that you create your own reality. Mainly as that happened to me right in the middle of my Seth teaching and learning and with Sylvia, my teacher, I would say in the late 90s, early 2000s, a lot of consistency of that vision. But I never ever contemplated the idea of staying there because I was always so attracted to hear. I was sent to Tell them the world is a vision, that I know it because it just happened to me. It started as a vision, therefore it started, still is a vision. And the end is a vision. And they didn't believe me. But in spite of their disbelief, they did not persuade me to modify my conviction. I understand that from what I just said, I understand that fully. I was persuaded and remain convinced that it is a vision. And I return convinced and animated my body. Therefore, that was the story of Lazarus. Wow. John 11:12. Wow. He just brought. He just brought into fruition the entire story of Lazarus. Wow, man. Wow. That is. That is wonderful. He was the one that Jesus loved. You're told. And Jesus is the reality of every being in the world. Jesus is the true identity of every child born of woman. It's called the soul of man. And the soul is the animating principle of a being. It animates anything and makes it alive. That's Jesus Christ. Is my sauerkraut making me alive. Sauerkraut. Sauerkraut is Jesus. So here in this fabulous world, he goes on in the very end of the story. In the book of John, we're told it is he, the one he loved, who now tells the story he tells us. All these words are written by the one who testified to the truth of these things. Only a very small section of the tradition of Jesus Christ is recorded. He tells us in the very last verse. If everything that he did were recorded, the world itself would not be big enough to hold the books. 21:25. These are the experiences that you pass through. So I say everything in Scripture is true. The Old Testament is simply. These are states, eternal states through which you and I pass. I can share it with you. I would be amiss if I did not this night tell you of my personal experiences. For the individual who has experienced the word of God, I can't see how he can avoid or escape responsibility of telling the meaning of that experience to others. So you read it as something that took place a thousand years or 2000 or 3000 years ago. To find you experience it. And it's contemporary. It's taking place now. It's not something that happened 3,000 years ago. It's happening now. As we become and more radiant, as it were, and begin to awake. So we are told in the last book of the Old Testament. A son honors his father. If then I am a father, where is my honor? Malachi 1 6. A son honors his father. If then I be a father, where is my honor? Where is my son? And you Turn over the page and you come into the New Testament and you find the Son. So the last book, the 39th book, Malachi, which means the messenger or the angel of God. And the angel of God was strictly called Jehovah, E Elohim, God himself. But here was the great. Excuse me. Here was the grand forgetfulness, the dream. He knew the story in the depth of his soul, but he hadn't found the Son. And then comes the fulfillment of it. As you turn the page over and here you come into Matthew. Matthew shows you who the Son is that honors the Father. And I and my Father are one. Then comes the unfoldment of the picture. And for those of you keeping tight score at home, and if you've gone through all these videos from the law, if anybody's new here, go back to the law and just go through everything in order. I promise you the value of your dreams will change. There is no way that that will not happen. Put in the comments. If the value of your dreams have changed since the beginning of this material, it's not about me, it's about the material. So please, put, put, put a word in there. Just write dreams or. Hell, yeah, or anything. So tonight, may I tell you, every one of you, if you have an experience doing, conceal it. I'm always jumping Neville's gun here. Any experience that you have of the word of God, scream it from the housetops. No matter who believes it, remember, all dreams are God. What this information is doing to you, for you, through you, is helping you understand from the anarchy you think all this is, or might from the confusion. It seems to be sexy, very, very organized. But the dreams are him in you. So tonight, may I tell every one of you, if you have an experience, don't conceal it. Any experience you have of the word of God, scream it from the housetops, no matter who believes it. Because tomorrow, maybe in 24 hours or 24 years when I do not know, you too will find yourself opening and the eye within you will open. And as they open, you are seeing a world just as real. As this consciousness will follow vision and you will step into that world and you will be tempted to feast on the reality of that world. For it's not less real than this. And if you do, you will not return. Not to the tomb of your fathers, but they will find your body and they will call it dead if you do not feast and remain faithful to the vision. The origin is a vision, therefore the end is a vision. And you tell them, whether they believe it or not, you will come back knowing that in this world that seems not more real than that it too is a vision. And this whole thing here is a vision. For the origin of it was as much a vision as the origin of that world. That is as real as this was vision. Then one day you will awake for the last time and you will say, with Paul, the time for my departure has come. I have found. Excuse me. I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith. Henceforth there's laid up for me a crown of righteousness. Second Timothy 4, 6. And so when you close your eyes here, after your faithfulness to deliver your message and your return to reanimate and restore this garment, like a Lazarus coming out of the tomb, you will have before you make your exit here, you will have the experience of the true resurrection, which is not described in any page of Scripture. It's only mentioned, but not described. I have described it to you to my. To the best of my ability. In my latest book, I am now bringing out a little tiny pamphlet, not bigger than the size of the Search, where the whole thing is confined to the four acts of the unveiling of God's image. When my friend Jack will bring it out, I do not know. It's entirely up to him. But I gave him the script confined completely to these four scenes. It is not described in Scripture. I have made every effort, to the best of my ability, to describe it in detail, just how I experienced it. That book that pamphlets called the Resurrection, it is a video on this channel. I did read it. And you can just type in. You can type in the Search and the Resurrection, I believe, or just the Resurrection, it should show up. The book also the Law and the Promise was the one he previously just published in 59. This is 1964. For I know that everyone in this world now he who wrote that story and the four evangelists did not describe the event. They named it, but they didn't describe it. And I feel no compunction to be, I would say, modest about it. Whether the world believes it or not, I have told it in detail just as it happened to me. And given the scriptural support for the event, knowing that there is only one of us in the world, everyone in the world is Jesus Christ. If you have the works of Blake, the 38th plate of Jerusalem. We live as one man, contracting our infinite senses. We behold multitudes or expanding. We behold one man, only one man. If the centers begin to expand. And that one man we call Jesus the Christ, and he in us and we in him. Live in perfect harmony in Eden, the land of life, giving life, receiving and forgiving each other's trespasses. Line 17. Only one man. When the senses begin to expand, the whole vast world is one man. I thought one night with Blake. Blake tells you he dined with Isaiah and Ezekiel. May I tell you, I didn't dine with him, but I certainly spent the night with him. Yet he died a hundred odd years before I was born. Seemingly. But I wasn't born. In 1905, as you're told in scripture, before the world was, I am. So we are all in one. Before that this world began. And Blake showed me so clearly how to fall and to look. So I took his advice and I fell backwards with some meteor, like some meteor falling through space. I came to a moment of stillness and looked as he told me how to look. I saw one man. The man's heart glowed like some living ruby and he glowed. I contracted my senses and there were multitudes of nations within one man. I expanded it. I saw one man. And that one man was myself. Containing the whole vast world of humanity, all races, all nations, everyone was contained within the one man. And one day you're going to see yourself containing the whole only one man. And that one man is Jesus Christ. So if anyone should ever tell you, look, there he is. Or here he is, don't believe it. Mark 13:21. Why? Because although it does not now appear what we shall be, we we know that when he appears, we shall be like him. First John 3, 2. When you see him, it's just like you. And it contains the whole vast world of humanity. So tonight I've shared with you two great secrets. One in the negative state, the 13, the 13th of the first kings, that if you are not faithful to the message you take into that world, when you step into it, you will not return to the body of your father, to the tomb which is his, which is this, which is this, this body. If you are faithful, you'll return. That's the 11th chapter of the Book of John. You'll return. And although it seems dead, you will animate it. You'll make it once more alive and restore it to life. You will do it, for you are Jesus Christ. But you'll go through to the very end. And then you'll write the story, because you will have the experience of the true resurrection. That's restoration, Lazarus. That's not resurrection. You will have the true resurrection not recorded in any book in Scripture. And you too will tell it Just as it happened to you. And so you're told, if it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? Follow me. John 21:22. And this is the disciple whom Jesus loved, who testifies to all these things and who has written all these words. And we know that his testimony is true. So you too will tell it. You write the entire story and leave it behind you. Because you're departing from this world for the last time. But because you are every big But. Excuse me. But because you are every being in the world, you can't be detached from it. You can't. You become one of those. Blake spoke of those who in eternity contemplate on death, knowing that what seems to be is to those to whom it seems to be. Blake. Jerusalem plate 36. You contemplate on it because they actually become what they contemplate and believe. What seems to be is to those to whom it seems to be. You become one with the immortals, the eternal beings who contemplate on death, knowing and waiting eagerly to step beyond and redeem one in the body of Jesus. For there is no other body into which anyone can be redeemed. All eventually become one being, one body. And that body is Jesus Christ. Now let us go into the silence. Good. But it could be gooder. First of all, before we take questions, my friend Jack has a small book at a ridiculous price. $1.50. It's only the Bible. Who arranged it? No one knows, so I'm told. So there's no royalty on the book. It's arranged in 365 days for a daily reading. The first page you may completely discount. It's just a little thought by Billy Graham. But he didn't write the book. It's all Bible. No one word in the book is other than the Bible. I'm sure that means not one word in the book is other than the Bible. A week ago, they gave me this sample copy that someone sent them. I must tell you, it's perfectly marvelous. Pick it up at a rant, Pick it up at random and read any page. Only the Bible and the way they arranged it. Old and New Testament, all in the book. Not one word is changed. And no comments, no commentary, no analysis. No analysis. Just a simple, lovely arrangement in a peculiar manner. So the first page by Billy Graham. You can tear it up if you want to, unless you like him. But the book itself, this simple little thing for only a dollar and a half. So it isn't one nickel in my pocket, but I so liked it. That I would like to share it with you. It's called Daily Light. He doesn't have more than a dozen. Why he doesn't have more, that I don't know. But it's a little wonderful book of 365 days, Blank Space, morning and evening. You have a morning reading and an evening reading. Now, are there any questions? Question? Neville, in referring to what you said about this autopsy thing, 10%, does that imply that 90% of the people then know what you're talking about? No, I wouldn't say that. No, Bill, I wouldn't say that. I just said, my friend, the doctor, who is a surgeon, when I told him of my experience, in answer to a question from the audience after the meeting, he said to me, you know, we as doctors, I'm a surgeon. I'm in surgery every day of my life. I'm called upon to perform numberless autopsies. And I share my experience with you as I share it with all the doctors when we get together at our conventions. And this is a universal statement whether you be in China, Africa, America, Europe, no matter where you are. 10% of all autopsies reveal no cause of death, so someone can't get back. In other words, they feasted on the bread and the water of the world into which they stepped. And may I tell you, that world is just as real and solid as this. But if you forget your message, it began as vision, therefore the end is vision. And you're trying to awaken everyone in the world. So you tell them, ladies, this is a vision. Well, they're scared to death. They don't believe you. So you tell them it is a vision. It started as a vision, and therefore the end must be a vision. For all ends run true to origins. See yonder fields. The sesame was sesame, the corn was corn, and the silence and the darkness knew, and so was a man's fate born. Arnold, light of Asia. So it began that way. The end is that way. All ends run true to origins. Genesis 1, 11 and 12. So you scream it. They don't believe you, but you don't feast on their disbelief and now forget the origin and you come back not the way. You entered that world. You walked right into it as I walked in here. But you don't. You feel your way back into this. As I told you earlier, when I held the post that was driven into the sea and wouldn't let it go, I made myself awake holding a stationary object. I awoke in the dream to prove origin is a dream. And the end, though solidly Real. And I'm waking in a world and it's just like this. It still must be a dream. And so you can take anything here and hold on to it and don't let it go until you awake in it. Whether it be money that you want in this world, fame that you want, anything that you want in this world, hold on to it and give it reality in your imaginary hand. For imagination is sensation. Really, you can feel the thing. You can actually feel it. Well, then don't let it go, though you can see it. Feel it anyway. Come close, my son, said Isaac. Come close that I may feel you. For he's blind, he can't see. And so this one comes clothed like his brother Esau. And he puts upon himself skins with hair on it. He comes forward. And Isaac said, come close. You sound like Jacob, but come closer that I may feel you. He uses the word feel with emphasis. He said, you feel like my son Esau. And you smell like him. You smell like him. He brought two senses to play. Although the voice sounds like my son Jacob and feel. But he pronounced the blessing upon what he felt. Felt because he couldn't see. So you can't see right now your success. But what would it feel like? What would it feel like to be married? What would it feel like to be wealthy? What would it feel like to be healthy? What would it feel like to be free? What would you feel in this world were it true? Hold onto it. This is a dream anyway. Hold onto it. That is a solid reality. I've proved it. For I found myself in water and I knew it was a dream. And I prolonged the dream until I came to a pillar. I felt. Now I'm going to hold this pillar solidly. I'm not going to let it go and make myself wake within it. And I held it, and I wouldn't let it go. Then I awoke within my being. And I'm standing in water, just as wet as any water in this world. And I waded ashore in a world just like this. Having held like Esau, he made something he felt and touched real. That's the story. So I'm sharing with you. So to repeat myself, the individual who has experienced God's word cannot escape the responsibility of telling its meaning to others. Good night. Yes, that wonderful world word. Excuse me. Responsibility. It's big part of this. You want the glory, you must take the responsibility. Gathered one by one. Also titled, you shall be gathered one by one. But in the book here, it's gathered one by one. November 17th, 1964. We're going to see you in the next one.
