God's Eternal Law And His Promise - Neville Goddard (06-15-1965) Full Reading + Commentary

Neville Goddard, 1965 lectures God's eternal law and his promise June 15, 1965 blank space. Wonderful principle of God's Eternal Law and His Promise. The law is so very simple, only it is conditional. We are the operant power. It doesn't work by itself. You can be anything you want to be in this world if you are willing to pay the price. The only price you pay is to give up what you are, that you may, in imagination. The only price you pay is to give up what you are, that you may, in imagination, become what you want to be. That's only here. That's the price you pay. The coin you use is simply diligence, persistency, faith, faith in the reality of your invisible act. You imagine yourself to be what you want to be, and you believe in the reality of that unseen act. And then you become diligent, you become persistent, and you persevere in that state. And then it takes root and it grows into this world. Very, very poignant paragraph right there. So you are not the same person when you become the other person. So you can't be one being in one state and not suffer the consequences of not being in another state. There are infinite states that you can choose. Man not knowing this, he thinks he has to simply accept what is called fate. Not knowing this, not being aware of this. He was born in a certain environment, he didn't have the proper encouragement, no background, this, that and the other. He accepts that if he does, then he lives in that state. But you need not, if you really know this principle, that whatever you desire, believe that you have received it, and you will. That scripture. Mark 11:24 I tell you from experience, my own personal experience, that you will. You ask no favors of others. No one need help you. The whole vast world is response. They respond, they have to respond. They have to help it. For the very simple reason all things and all things really exist in us right here. As Blake so wisely said, all that you behold, though it appears without it, is within, in your imagination, of which this world of mortality is but a shadow. It's so clearly revealed in the depth of one soul through vision, that everyone in the world is simply responding to what is taking place in your own wonderful human imagination. So it's entirely up to you to know what you want and then dare to test this law as we are told in Scripture. Come, test and see. Do you not know that Jesus Christ is in thee? Unless, of course, you fail to meet the test. 2nd Corinthians 13:5. Well, Jesus Christ in Scripture is defined as the power and wisdom of God, First Corinthians 1:24. And so the power of God is in you, your own wonderful human imagination, so you can test it and see when we come to the promise. And because we only have two weeks left, and I do hope that many of you will be reading the Bible in the interval between now and when we return in late October, I'd like to give you a few points on how to read the Bible. When you take a book in your hand and you read a novel, and they're all characters in the imagination of the writer, and you read the book and they all become alive to you. Today you read Dickens, and the characters of Dickens are more alive than Dickens. You read them and all of a sudden you endow everyone with a personality and they're so real. You read Shakespeare, turn on your TV tonight. And a man sat down, or a lady sat down and wrote that script. And yet all are in his imagination or her imagination. But they're as. But they're all real. As you look at it now, when you look at the Bible and you open the Bible, may I tell you from the very beginning to the end. But I will limit it now from Adam, which is the very beginning of Genesis, to the first of John, where John the Baptist is introduced as a character. And so we are told the law and the prophets were. Until John. That is the script along. Excuse me, that is the script. A script written just as any author here would write a script. Only this was shown in vision. He didn't sit down and cogitate and try to figure out how to write the script. The whole thing was revealed from beginning to end. It's not the product of some man's composition. These men, inspired by the depth of the soul, wrote scripture. Scripture. They wrote the eternal drama. So from Adam to John, and you can close the book. The whole thing is in you, that sacred scripture. Now, always bear in mind when you open the book and read this book, that the names Moses and Abraham and Isaac and Jacob are not there meant, but the states signified by those names. The individuals are all. Excuse me. The individuals are but representatives or visions of those states as they were revealed to mortal man in this series of divine revelations as are written in the Bible. May I tell you, with Blake, I have seen these various states in my imagination. And seen at a distance, it appears as one man. And when you approach and you come near, there are multitudes and nations. One man. They are multitudes. Now, in Hebrew thought, history consists of all the generations of men and their experiences fused into one grand whole. And this concerned. Excuse me. And this concentrated time into which all the generations of men are fused, and from which all spring is called eternity. Eternity is personified as a single youth, and that youth is David. So really, when you're told, thou art my son, today I have begotten thee. These words are addressed to David. They are addressed to humanity, a whole vast world. But all the sacred scripture, everyone within them, all experiences fused into a single being. And that is David. And you have to bring him forth. When you enter the arena, and it really is an arena, and you play this frightful tragedy at the end of your journey. You bring forth humanity, but not multitudes. You bring humanity forth as a single youth, just David. And David calls you Father, calls you my Lord. You are his rock. Then you understand the words in Revelation. I am the root and the offspring of David. I am. That's the root. And humanity came out of me, as told us in the 11th chapter of the book of Isaiah. And out of the stump of Jesse, out of the word Jesse means I am. Out of the stump of Jesse will spring this root, this little branch will come out. So out of I am, the whole vast world of humanity comes out. And then in the end, when the drama is over and drunk, and when the drama. Excuse me. And then in the end, when the drama is over and dream is over, you see it all fused into a single one. And it's David. And you are the Lord. You are the root of the whole vast world. And strangely enough, you transcended yourself. You are now offspring. Then you will understand the words in the seventh chapter of the second book of Samuel, and these words are addressed to David. When your days are fulfilled and listen to the words carefully, fulfilled, as told us in the earliest of the Gospels, the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand. So when your days are fulfilled, brought to fullness, and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your son after you, who shall come forth from your body. I will be his father, and he shall be my son. So a supernatural being rises in you individually. And when that being rises in you, the power of it conjures that single being representing the whole vast world of humanity. And he calls you Father. Now you understand these words of Paul. When I was a child, I thought as a child, I spoke as a child, I reasoned as a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. From now on, we regard no one from the human point of view, even though we once regarded Christ from the human point of view. We regard him thus no longer. He is speaking of that entire closed book. He's now speaking of you. And speaking of the speaker, he's speaking of the characters of sacred Scripture. He too thought Abraham was a man and not a state. He thought Moses was a man and not a state. He thought all the characters. So when he heard of Messiah, he consented unto the death of Stephen and joined in the stoning and did all these things that when a man, mentally speaking, not speaking, not physically speaking, but mentally speaking, is a child, he does all these things. They are men. And so they will stone any man who comes to take away the glory, the little light from his great patriarchs of the past and stone him to death. He didn't know the mystery of Christ until it was revealed to him. So said he, the gospel that I now preach, I did not receive it from a man, nor was I taught it. But it came to me through the revelation of Jesus Christ first. Excuse me. Galatians 1:11. So I will not now discuss it. Said he, with flesh and blood he goes to meditate upon it. For the thing began to unfold within him. So then we see in his letters that Jesus Christ is the pattern for every man, not a man. It's the pattern of the unfolding God in man. So I once saw him from the human point of view as I saw Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. I no longer see him from the human point of view. Very true. You just don't see it like that. Once you understand that he is your imagination, there is. It's not a human thing anymore. It's a there it is thing. There he is. If it's your own wonderful human imagination that is Christ, how is that a man unless you really receive and understand? It's in you. Therefore it is you I will see. Only the risen Christ, that which is buried in every man now, rising to fuse and to be actually one man, the father of humanity that is personified as David. So in everyone God rises, and in everyone he becomes God the Father. That's his name. And if he's a father, then there must be a son. Humanity is the Son. But when you see humanity on high, you see a single youth, and it's David. David represents the whole vast world of humanity. So start with your Adam, go through to John the Baptist. Fuse them into a single whole. And this fused, concentrated time, personify it. And if you find and personify it and you find eternity. Now, we are told in the book of Ecclesiastes God has put eternity into the mind of man yet so that man cannot find out what God has done from the beginning until the end. Ecclesiastes 3:11. Only in that eschatological moment when man rises at the end will he really understand what God placed in his mind. He put the whole vast world, he put eternity into the mind of man. And eternity simply consists of all the generations of men, all their experiences fused into one grand whole. So the whole vast world is placed in the mind of man. And when he comes to the end, having played these many parts, fighting against himself, running from himself and all the horrors of the world, he awakes. Then he finds the whole. Then he finds the whole fused into a single youth that he loves beyond measure. For the words are, here is my beloved David. I will never take my steadfast love from him. Now here we are told he is king over all of them when they are in battle. But at the end, he is their prince forever, not king. He is king when the whole vast world is fragmented. But in the end, he is prince, and he is my beloved forever. For if he is the prince, then I am the king. I see my son, who is now prince forever, having played all the parts. A man after my own heart. So I have found in David, the son of Jesse, the son of I am a man after my own heart. My own heart. Well, blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. So when I bring him, when I bring him out, I see, and he calls me fathers. Excuse me. So when I bring him out and I see him, and he calls me Father, he's the pure in heart. He is by his very presence telling me who I am. He has to be perfect, as his Father in heaven is perfect. And so everyone is playing the part. Everyone in this world is playing the identical part. For in the end, that's a very profound sentence. Listen to that. Maybe it's two sentences. And so everyone is playing the part. Everyone in this world is playing the identical part. Let that soak in. We are all Elohim. For in the end we all come out. And there aren't two gods, three gods, only one. So we are told. Everyone who is united to him becomes one spirit with him. First Corinthians 6:17. Everyone who is united to him becomes one spirit with him. So we are told, again, I am gathering you one by one, O people of Israel. Everyone in due time is called to awake, as he is called. He's fused into the single body, and that body is infinite love. If I could take anyone this night with me into the presence of this personified love. It's infinite love. But how to persuade others who are conditioned to read the story as told us in Sunday school? For our. For I dare say many of us went to Sunday school. I know I did. I didn't want to, but I had to. And so I went and I heard the story from beginning to end, Sunday after Sunday at 4 in the afternoon. And here I heard Abraham was a man and he had these sons. And they were boys and they grew into men. But I couldn't understand the Bible. It had to be revealed. My school teacher didn't know it any more than the priesthoods of the world today know it. What do they know about it? It has to be revealed. You can't rationalize it. The whole thing is unveiled within you. So when you pick up the works of Paul after it was that. Excuse me, when you pick up the words of Paul after it was unveiled to him, does he not personify a sin city he calls Jerusalem my mother from above. He said, Abraham. Abraham had two sons. One was born into slavery and took with him his mother into slavery. And the mother he calls Hagar. Then he said, Hagar is the present Jerusalem. But there is another, and she is our mother and she is Jerusalem from above. There's a Jerusalem from below the womb of woman. That is Jerusalem of this world, this level. It's from this world. And every child born of the womb of woman is born into slavery. Then comes another Jerusalem who is from above bearing children into freedom. And he said, that is our mother. In the story of the Gospels, it is not put into the mouth of one called Jesus Christ, who is only the personification of God's plan of salvation. Question mark. Don't think in terms of a man. It's the plan of salvation. And does he not say, O Jerusalem, O Jerusalem. And then speaks of her as a mother? He calls her a hen, killing the prophets and stoning those who. Who are sent to you. How often I would have gathered all of your children together as the hen gathers her brood under her wings. And you would not. So he personifies a city he calls Jerusalem mother and likens her to a grand hen gathering all of her chickens under her wings, just like a wonderful brood. And they would not. So here we find, all through Scripture, not only the personification of these states called the law of Moses and this wonderful plan called Abraham and the wonderful son, when all brought together and the heart is the heart of God, called David, all humanity, but we find cities personified and called mother, and all the inhabitants of that city called children. So when you open the book, don't forget it. Try always to remember that the persons called by names, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and so on are not there meant by the states that are signified by those names. And every night. And every name in Scripture has meaning, has significance. Look up the name in your concordance and find its true significance. Abraham, the father of the multitudes. Here is the beginning of the grand journey. The father of the multitudes, more numerous than the sands of the sea, more numerous than the stars of the heavens. Not a man, and yet he has two sons, said Paul. If you read Scripture, there are more than two. He has been promised more than the sands of the sea. But even in actual chronological order, there are more. But he only takes the two. The slave. This body, born from Jerusalem, from below, which was my physical mother. And then that which happened in me, born from above, which he called my mother, Jerusalem from above, born into freedom. So here, no matter how you look at it, always try to remember that you can't read it as you would a novel. And if you. I have. If you look at the concept that people describe as economic wage slavery, the system we are in, so to say, not digging any more into that concept or subject. But the point is, why would a person feel that at all? Because that is exactly the kind of system this actually is. Your physical person is a slave. It's not a slave to any. It's a slave to the reality that you have the law to overcome. The law is conditional to your use of it. You can overcome that slavery, that enslavement of feeling, the enslavement of it all. You can overcome that with the law, but you have to apply the law. It doesn't happen for you. Nobody steps in and does it for you. You have to learn how to use it, which is what this channel is exactly about. Over and over and over, we repeat the same thing over and over until we finally get it, till we test it, till we see it work. And we get wins, small wins, and more wins and more wins. And all of a sudden we're doing it for everything. You have to make this a new habit. It's been a task to create a habit out of making these videos. But what I did is, if you've been here since the beginning, I went And I made three videos a day for the first 90 days. I mean, talk about spoiling the first of you who found the channel. Three videos every single day for 90 days. You want to create a habit. That's how you create a habit. You just do it and do it morning, noon and night. Morning, noon and night. I went out to dinner with my friend Danny the other day a couple days ago, and we were halfway down the main street to get to where we were going to go eat. And I flashed the idea in my mind of being at the venue, the restaurant, and looking out and seeing my car right in front. We get down the street, that spot, the exact spot literally is wide open. Parked the car right there. We were sitting there enjoying our food. And I said to him, we were talking about the law. We were talking about this subject. I said, look at the truck. Look at, look at it. Just look at it sitting there and understand how it feels right now to look back at the truck. Because this is how you can reverse engineer your use of the law also. So look at the truck and see how it feels that you see it and you feel it's there. It's so automatic. It's so. Of course it's there. It's so kind of natural that it. Of course it's right there. We're looking right at it. That's how it should feel. When you use the law. When you're projecting from the other side of it for that parking spot, you're taking the feeling of that future self looking back at it, so you're reversing into it. Reversing is a pun with the car, of course. Put it in reverse, right? So you're going to reverse into it the same way you are. I'd like to say reverse going forward into it. It's the same thing. You're grabbing a hold of the future and looking back at yourself having already parked there and feeling it real. Then when you see the space is open and you park in it. Then when you're in the restaurant and you're looking at it, you're. Look. This is exactly what I was going to feel as I sat here and I imagined down the street and I told him it flashed through my mind so fast thinking about the spot and looking back at the truck. It didn't last more than half a second. Maybe. I don't even know if it was half a second. It was so fast. I just imagined being in the restaurant and there was a car. I mean, it went by, it went through my mind. So we were discussing something, but it went by my. In my mind so fast. I couldn't. I couldn't say it was a second or even half a second. And it Was brilliant. It lit up and I was like, oh, okay, yeah. And then we were talking and we were pointing out this other restaurant that's going to reopen, had a fire down there. So it's going to reopen, which is cool. And we were like, yeah, we like that place. So backing into your use of the law on your successes, like I talk about with this parking spot, look back and as I was describing to him, look, just look at it right there and see how this feels. How does this feel right now looking back? Because we're looking right at the car right there outside the window where we designed ourselves to be. And using the law, we wound up. And this can be applied to anything. But I said to him, how does it feel? You're sitting right here looking at the car. I imagined it. Then there it is. So when you're sitting here, you're looking back, which is the visualization I had moving in the forward momentum that I would be looking back and seeing my car parked directly in the first spot, which is the exact spot we got as we pulled up. It's those small wins that keep adding up. Add them up, add them up. Build another. Add them up, add them up, Just keep doing them. Those small wins mean the most because that's how you create a habit. Practice at morning, noon and night. Want to film a video? Film at morning, noon and night. Film three. One in the morning, one at noon. I mean, that was the creation of a habit. And now here we are. How many months are we now? Let's see, December 19th, so 90 days from there. Three videos a day, right? January, February, March. So that goes to March 19th. Now March 19th, we're already up to August. So 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. So we're like five months later. So we're eight months in one major. One full length video is coming out a day. All those were chapters before. These are about an hour to an hour and a half. But the habit, using the law must be a habit. As an example, you see my shorts that come out every day? I don't know, I release at least what, between 5 to 6 to 20 a day, depending on what kind of mood I'm in. To break those down. That's how many more videos. Even though it's regurgitation of the other short, the chapters, it's still work. That's all A habit. This is how you create a habit of using the law. Use it when. Use it when, Use it when confidence starts to gain a momentum, that confidence in the law becomes a thing. Oh, yeah, I'm going to be parked right there. I'm already inside, looking back at my car parked right there. Those matter more than you can imagine. I mean, that's kind of punny to say it that way, but yes, your imagination is what's at work here the whole time. Anyway. Why not put it to conscious effect, not unconscious effect. Unconscious would be like, oh, yeah, we got lucky. We got lucky and found a parking right there in front. No, you designed it. You've always been designing it that way. Always. That's. Become conscious of that. Create the habit of consciously creating. That's what we're talking about here. Conscious creation consistently means making it a habit. Seeing the small wins, then go for bigger wins. Imagine lovingly for others. So here, no matter how you look at it, always try to remember that you can't read it as you would a novel, but think of a novel as a creation of an author, single author. And he conceived all these parts, and they become alive to you, the reader. Well, the Bible is written in the same manner, only it's under inspiration. It's the eternal story by which God brings into being the supernatural being that is Christ. Christ is the supernatural being. And tonight I say without hesitation, I wouldn't for one moment hesitate to rest the case for the divine meaning. For the divine meaning and the validity of the Gospel on the testimony of my own inward experience. As we wrought in me by the Spirit. As was wrought in me by the Spirit. Excuse me. I know it is all unconditioned. For here is a man with all the limitations of man in this world. And in spite of my obvious limitations that happened in me. So I know it is unconditioned. I did not earn it. Talking about the promise now. I did not acquire and gather together any merit for it. It's a gift from beginning to end. But the law of which I have been well informed, is conditioned. And while we are waiting for the fulfillment of the promise, let us learn to operate the law. For the law is conditioned and we are the operant power. So I tell you of the law and leave you to your choice and its risk. There's a risk involved. You can burn your hand, I tell you of it. If you use it lovingly, you'll never go wrong. Can't hurt if you use it lovingly. But may I tell you, you can use it as a Stalin or a Hitler or any tyrant in the world, and it still works. It's the law. You can become anyone you want to be if you are willing to assume that you are and remain faithful to that assumption. Just as though it were true. You can become it, but you are going to pay the price. Hitler paid the price. Stalin paid the price. Mussolini paid the price. They all paid the price in the end. But they were willing to pay another price. And that price was bigamous. They were completely alerted to what they had assumed that they were. If you are willing to assume that I am. And you name it. And you be the judge. I am. And you name exactly what you want to be and then see in your mind's eye the world that you would see were it true. What would it be like were it true. How would it feel were it true? You. You simply ask yourself these simple questions and you get responses. Then you feel natural in it. When it seems natural to you. This is right. All right, that's it. It's taking root. And in a way that no one knows, it begins to unfold. It will lead you across a bridge of incidents that you don't build. You walk across the bridge of incidents, at least you don't consciously build it. And across this series of events you are taken to the fulfillment of that which you are assuming that you are. Now there's an argument that can be made. I can make the argument myself, considering all my metaphysical background. What came first, the chicken or the egg? When I was driving down the street with my friend and we were going to eat dinner and I saw the parking space in my mind looking back at it from inside the restaurant to see my car parked directly in front of what came first? Was that a psychic awareness? Was I seen into the future? Or was I creating my reality? And we've heard Neville and the teacher says and other great mystical teachers throughout the ages all say the same thing that you're thinking. It makes it so. So did I catch a glimpse of what was to be from my psychic awareness or did I create it while in motion? Consciously not unconsciously. Unconsciously means it was an accident. I got lucky. I'm letting someone else be the operant power or claiming that someone else is the operant power. Maybe it's a guardian angel. Maybe I got an intuition from my angel. Whatever. That doesn't matter. The point there point is that I'm not consciously creating. When I go that route, when I claim it's a psychic view or a psychic vision, then I'm saying I didn't do it. I'm saying somehow it was given to me. Which is an argument you can make inside the promise. And that's unveiling in You. You can make this argument that all of those visions. What about that? Of course you can. But right now we're talking about the law. The law is an operant power thing from you. Being aware of it's the biggest part of it. Once you become aware of it, then now you can consciously wield it. You could create these things all day long. These awarenesses of what you're experiencing can happen to every little thought. Start small, park in spaces, whatever you want. Doesn't matter what they are. You just build them up. Build them up like any other skill. You have to learn how to touch the strings on a guitar before you can play a chord. You have to learn how to hold your hand before you can strum it and make it into a song. One step comes before the other. When you get to the end and now you realize it completely, you turn back and on reflection, things happen so normally and so naturally. You might say, well, it would have happened anyway. You might say it because it happens so naturally as it unfolds. But it takes you across this series of events. And you must confess, you didn't actually make the events. They seem to appear. And you were led across the series of events right up to the fulfillment of what you assumed that you are. All you're called upon to do is to remain faithful to your assumption that you are already the man that you want to be. Assuming that state. Remain faithful to it, you fulfill it, and that's the law. But it all depends upon you and your willingness to make the decision and then assume it. As you're told in Scripture. What man desiring to build a tower does not first sit down and count the cost. Will he have enough to really complete it? Luke 14:28. He doesn't want to be laughed at. And so the tower is simply the elevated stairs state that you desire to fulfill. That's the tower. You count the cost. Do you have enough faith? Do you have enough stick to itiveness? Do you have enough persistency to really assume it and stick to it? But I found in all who have had it. And I'm going into my closest circle of friends and relatives. They forget in the end. They don't forget the law. But they become so much what they dreamed of being that they crow just as though. And I can't deny that they did it, that. That they did do it. But it was the law, a simple principle that their porter could have done. Anyone employs now a thousand porters and men working for him. Anyone in that crowd who knew what he did could have done the same thing had they counted the cost. And you're told, what man who desires to build a tower doesn't first sit down and count the cost? Is he willing to go hungry this night rather than deviate for one moment and just simply pull in his belt and simply go to bed just as though he didn't want a meal? Not that he couldn't get it, just didn't want it, and live that state just as though it were true, and so remain faithful to that assumption. If he does, the porter, who today still remains the porter, could, had he started when the boss started, have done the same thing. So this is this principle, a simple, wonderful principle based upon scripture. Whatsoever you desire, believe that you have received it, and. And you will. Mark 11:27. It doesn't say that you go to the priest and ask the priest for if it's. It doesn't say that you go to the priest and ask the priest if it's good for you. It doesn't say that you take into consideration any moral code. The Bible is not a moral book. Man can't get it through his head. It's not a moral book. It's a book of law and promise. And the law is conditioned and the promise is unconditioned. But man has read into it morals that are not present in the book. He'll take you through everything and bring you out in the end. And in every end you awaken and you are God himself. Every story of all of us individuals ends the same. The Spirit of truth will take the believer right through all these experiences. For he sends the spirit of truth, of truth upon men. When the Spirit of truth comes upon man, he takes that believer, and in that believer, the believer has the experiences, all these wonderful experiences. And he brings him out at the very end as the one who created and conceived the whole thing. And you discover that your Creator and your Redeemer are one and the same being. And the two are one. And you are one. You created it. You prepared the way of redemption. You redeemed self. And in the end you are the very one who conceived it, who played it, and who fulfilled it. It's only God. There is nothing but God in this world. Hear, O Israel. The Lord our God is one, Lord, not two. No room for two. No room for the Creator and the Redeemer. They are different parts played by the same being. And so he conceived everything, played all the parts. And in the end we are gathered one by one to unite into a single man who. Who is God. So I'M speaking from experience. I am not theorizing. And when you read in Scripture that God is love, may I tell you that is true. But just as Jesus Christ is the personification of the power and the wisdom of God, you will meet a man glorious beyond measure, and all you can actually feel is love. You can't think of any emotion in this world but love. Yet you stand in the presence of the risen Christ who is God. And it's love. But I can't deny that all these that were to me as a child, when I was a child, I thought as a child, spoke as a child, reasoned as a child. But now that I become a man, I should simply put away childish things. And they are no longer men, they are states. But encountering the states, you see a man. For it takes a man to express every emotion in this world, the evil and the good. And so error needs a man as an agent. Truth needs a man as an agent. Everything that is expressed needs man to express it. So when the thing to express, the state to express is being expressed, a man appears. But all these men are only personifications of the states. So who really is the reality behind these personifications? I stood in the presence of man and it was love. But we are told in the very end that no mortal eye could see the glory that awaits the awakening of the Creator, who died and became this, and then rises from it when he rises from it. What is the glory that is in store for all to see when all of us are it? But I only know I saw a man and I didn't have to ask any questions when I stood in the presence of infinite love, the question asked me was based upon love. What is the greatest thing in the world? And I answered, love. And at that we fused. There was one more gathered into the body of love. And yet I was sent, fused into the body of love, one with God, and then commanded to go and tell what I had experienced. And the words ringing out in my mind, down with the blue bloods, didn't understand the meaning of it, but that was my command. It was years and years later before I understand the meaning of the words. And they simply mean church protocol, that's all that they mean. All external ceremonies, all outside activities in the hope of gaining merit, down with it all have no part of it. And I can't tell you how often from that moment on I have been never really tempted, but invited by numberless across this country to join their organizations, saying, speak, you have your books, you wouldn't have to go to school we'll ordain you today Gaining merit Down with it all have no part of it and I can't tell you how often from that moment on I have been never really tempted but invited by nothing that's done too, you know without exams Ordain you today and send you out it's kind of funny. Down with the blue bloods and the whole concept. In August of 2024 on our 25th wedding anniversary we went to Europe numberless across this country to join their organizations saying speak, you have your books, you wouldn't have to go to school we'll ordain you today Started in Rome and went across the Mediterranean there the southern, you know, France and Italy over into Spain but started in Rome went to the Vatican very first day, very first tour and that's done too you know without exams Ordain you today and send you out. It's kind of funny. Down with the blue bloods and the whole concept. The magnificence of that. What is it? St. Peter's Basilica. Just the hugeness, the enormity of the sculptures and the art that's in that building is mind blowing. Except In August of 2024 on our 25th wedding anniversary we went to Europe, started in Rome and went across the Mediterranean. There more than any other cathedral we've seen. We've been on the Rhine river and we've seen a lot of cathedrals, Cologne included and Strasbourg and a lot of those cathedrals we've popped into at least three or four of them but the Vatican is a mind blowing one. But it's funny that in the middle of all of my Neville southern France and Italy over into Spain it started in Rome, went to the Vatican the very first day, very first tour and revealing from within and in addition to studying Neville that I would wind up walking through that whole Vatican tour and then winding up in St. Peter's Basilica to look at all that. It's just fascinating. So that's down with the blue bloods concept is very much an interesting, it was an interesting thing to view from within all of these changes to then go and see what's the biggest pomp and circumstance things that there is the biggest blue blood symbolism in this, the magnificence of that. What is it? St. Peter's Basilica just the hugeness, the enormity of the sculptures and the art that's in that building is mind blowing in this world right there but right there very fascinating. Neville has been asked to go speak for others many times. He says that would be completely in violation of the command that was given to me which when I was sent from the presence of the risen Christ down with the blue bloods all. I mean more than any other cathedral we've seen we've been on the Rhine river and we've seen a lot of cathedrals Cologne included and Strasbourg and a lot of those cathedrals we've popped into at least three or four of them. But the. But the. But the Vatican is a mind blowing one but it's funny that in the middle of all of my Neville outside ceremony but all of it from the top to the bottom he is not reached that way. You don't reach him by rising in the world of Caesar where someone could raise you from the lowly state to a higher state to a higher state and finally to the highest in the eyes of man. Because God does not judge from outward appearance revealing from within. And in addition to studying Neville that I would wind up he who today wears the greatest robe end up walking through that whole Vatican tour and then winding up in St. Peter's Basilica to look at all that. It's just fascinating. So that's down with the blue bloods concept is very much an interesting robes. Excuse me. The most glorious robes may not have a heart comparable to the. It was an interesting thing to view from within all of these changes to then go part of the one who cleans his shoes and see what's the biggest pomp and circumstance things that there is the biggest blue blood symbolism in this in this world right there but right there Very fascinating. And the Lord sees only the heart not the outward appearance. Now when that heart comes to perfection it's automatic. And then David appears and David who should be the father becomes the son. That's the great mystery. Neville has been asked to go speak for others many times. He says that would be completely in violation of the command that was given to me when I was sent. How can a man become his own father's father? And that's what happens. For I am the root and the offspring of David. Revelations 22:16 from the presence of the risen Christ. Down with the blue bloods all here is David and I will raise up after your son who who will come forth from your body outside ceremony but all of it from the top to the bottom. He is not reached that way. You don't reach him by rising in the world of Caesar where someone could raise you from the lowly state to a higher state to a higher state and finally to the highest in the eye your son and I the Lord will be his father, and he will be my son. 2nd Samuel 7, 2012 he comes out of David, so he should be David's son. Yes, he does come out of David. He comes out of humanity. The whole vast.
