God's Promise To Man by Neville Goddard (02-08-1963)

Neville Goddard, 1963 lectures God's promise to man February 8, 1963. This is one of the most difficult subjects I have to tell. Had I not experienced it, I wouldn't dare attempt it. God's promise is true. He who promised it is faithful and is being fulfilled in every being in this world and the unnumbered beings to come. The first statement of it you find in Genesis 17. We are told on the surface that Abraham was 99 and he was promised an heir, a son, if you are familiar with the story. He had a son who was described as a wild ass in the 16th chapter. That one was born of a servant of the household of Abraham, born of Hagar, born of a slave. And the Lord said unto her, you will have a son, and his name will be Ishmael. Which means God hears he shall be a wild ass of a man. His hand against every man and every man's hand against him. Abraham. Abraham wanted a son born of Sarai. He was 99 and she was 90. This is all symbolism. He was told he would have a son and his name would be Isaac. Isaac means he laughs. Then we are told. And eagerly, earnestly worship, night and day. And for this hope I am accused by Jews. O King, why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead? His Here is our hope. If the dead is not raised, what does it matter if you build the greatest monument in the world to yourself, if you made billions and you are not raised from the dead, what does it matter, or all the accomplishments of the world if it wears out like a garment, and that is his last moment? And here I stand on trial for my hope in the promise made by God to our fathers. Why am I on trial? I believe it. So here is Paul's plea before the king. Why am I on trial? Now let me tell you my own personal story about it. I heard it as you've heard it. I was raised in the Christian faith, as many of you were. And I heard it as my mother and father heard it. And I understand it. Excuse me. And I didn't understand it. No priest, no rabbi, no minister tells it. They spoke of the Bible. Or you go to a medium to hear and commune with someone who is supposed to be dead. And they all bring voices back. It hasn't a thing to do with it. It hasn't a thing to do with any medium and extrasensory perception. It's something entirely different. Here. I move across space in this world, and then a moment when I least expected it, in fact, I didn't expect it. I hadn't the slightest idea what this was all about. That is why I am so encouraged. Because I didn't expect it. I did not look forward to it in this life. Therefore I know the promise will be kept and everyone will receive it. I did not earn it. No man is good enough to earn it. The promise is unconditional. So here I am, a normal man with all the limitations and weaknesses of man. If I had to go Back to my 58 years, all the things I would judge harshly if I sat myself in judgment. And I, who could not conceive myself worthy to receive this fantastic gift. One night I went to sleep quiet. Excuse me. One night I went to sleep quite normally in the city of San Francisco. In the wee hours of the morning, a most intense vibration was taking place in my head and I began to awake. Typically, most of the time you're going to have your mystical experience or your out of body experience, or these experiences, they're really literally about 4:30 or 5am typically 5am ish. This is the time. These things you can instigate out of bodies and lucid dreaming. All that happens right around that period, right at the dark, before the dawn. Instead of awakening on the bed in my hotel room, I am awakening in my skull to find my skull. Not a room. My skull is a sepulcher, a tomb. And I am fully awake in my skull, alone for the first time in eternity, I really was awake. There was one moment of panic. And after that moment of panic, I began to feel around and I felt the base of my skull. And I pushed and something gave. And out I came, head first, just like a child being born. And down I came. Inch by inch by inch, I pulled myself out of my skull. And there I lay on the floor for a few seconds. Then I arose and looked back at the bed. And there was my body on the bed. It was ghastly, pale, tossing my head from side to side. Then I heard this wind, a fantastic wind as described in the Book of Acts. And here came a sudden wind from heaven. I looked over to the counter. Excuse me. I looked over to the corner of the room because it came from that direction. And then I looked back to the bed where the body was. And the body was gone. They removed the body. A body that was so real only a few seconds before. But here sat three witnesses. Three men. They didn't see me. And I am more real than I have ever been in eternity. I suddenly became aware of the reality of my own invisibility. I am more real than anything in eternity and yet no one sees me. I can see them. I not only see them, I can discern their thoughts. This happened to me. The idea, what he's saying here of being more real than anything ever in eternity, in these lucid dream or these mystical experiences. It feels so vibrant. You feel so vibrantly aware of each and every single tiny moment. Point. It's just full blown awareness, full blown. I had the experience where my teacher shot me with a harpoon. It was a full blown vision and the harpoon came into my body and then I. Apparently I died in that moment. And I could see my teacher was with me. I even told her about this in our next class we were having. They were having these weekly classes and all of a sudden there was six people right in front of me. At least. And then adding her would be seven. I think there was seven people. I was having seven after I transitioned or died or whatever, or leaving that body after I got harpooned. I then was having seven full blown conversations simultaneously in one moment. Even though I was dead in that scene of people, I was still able to communicate simultaneously, the seven different conversations at once and understood what was going on in each direction in one simultaneous moment. It was mind blowing. Seth describes death as the transition of death as taking off a tight shoe. Okay, so that's what he says. The transformation of or transition of death, what it feels like. And in that situation, when I got shot with the harpoon and I transitioned, it was more like. It was more like nothing, actually. It was more like, okay, now they don't see me anymore. So where am I? I don't know where I am per se. Like my physical self wasn't there anymore, but my spiritual self was having these simultaneous conversations all at one moment. So it was very fascinating. Invisibility, invisible quality. Here I can see them. I not only see them, I can discern their thoughts. Their thoughts are to me, as objective as you are. They are all curious about the wind. But one is most curious. And he got off the bed and started toward the same direction that I thought the wind originated. As he started over, he looked at the floor and he said, why, it's Neville's baby. And they together asked in the most incredulous manner, how can Neville have a baby? He doesn't argue the point. He lifts an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and places that infant on the bed. Then I took, then I took that infant in my hands, looked into its smiling face. It does that. And I asked it how is my sweetheart? And this heavenly smile broke upon its face. And when the whole thing dissolved, and I am on my bed in the Hotel San Francisco, that is the beginning of the unfolding of God's promise. I will give you a son. Mmm. Now, the son is not some little son that I have say who is now 38 years old. Let us now go back to the interpretation of that son as we find it in the book of Luke. For Luke interprets this picture for us. Remember, his son is 38 at this point. It's February 8, 1963. Tradition has it that there were three men in the field. And he said to them this night, God is born. A savior is born who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you. You will find a babe who, wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. Luke 2:11. They say in a manger, I tell you from experience, lying on the floor, the babe is not the thing that happened. The babe is a sign. This shall be a sign unto you. An event took place this day in eternity, the fulfillment of God's promise to man. And this shall be a sign unto you. You will find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying on the floor. And they went and found, as they were told, the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes. You who know certain protocol concerning the Navy or our government, who will be concerned about our president, who we know as Washington, and we want to know whether he is in the White House or not. If you understood this protocol, and you will see a displaying sign, and if the presidential flag is flying, you will say to your friends, he is in residence. If it is not flying, he is not in residence. It doesn't mean the flag is president. It only signifies his presence. This is a sign unto you. You will find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying on the floor. It signifies the event that took place this day in eternity. It is not the event. It signifies the event. The event is invisible to mortal eye, for no one saw me. I saw them and read their thoughts, but they could not see me. They only found the sign. They came to find the sign as they were told in the spiritual world. You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying on the floor. And they came and they found it exactly as they were told. But they couldn't find the event. For the event was invisible to the eyes on this level. So here is God's promise to man that he will bring forth out of man himself. Here is God's promise to man that he will bring forth out of man himself. He is buried in man. And here is a sign he was. And here is a sign he has succeeded in bringing himself out, individualized as you. It's a little sign. The sign is that of a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying on the floor. Let us go back to the Book of Samuel. We are told that something happened in man. It is the second event of God's promise. First we will take Ecclesiastes 3:11, the most disputed verse in that book, and possibly in the Bible. God has put eternity in man's mind yet so that he shall not find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. The word translated eternity in the Revised Standard Version is olam O L A M. In the King James version, that word translated. Excuse me, in the King James Version, that world is translated world. I think he means word and not he. But the type is a typo here in the king. In the King James version, that word is translated world. He put the world into man's mind. Follow me closely. Now. Go back to the book of Samuel. A king, his name is Saul, turns to his lieutenant, Abner, and he sees a very handsome youth standing before him whose name is David. But he doesn't know who he is. He said to Abner, abner, whose son is that youth? And Abner replied, as your soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell. He said, inquire, whose son that stripling is? No one knows. Then David comes in from the conquering mood. Then David comes in from his conquering mood, and he brings the Philistine's head in his hand, Goliath. And the king turns to the youth. Now he said, tell me, whose son are you, young man? And he replied, I am the son of thy servant Jesse. We'll come to that in a moment, but we'll go back. Abner, whose son is that young man? The word young man is olam, translated eternity. Inquire whose son that stripling is. The word stripling is olam. He turns to the boy himself. Tell me, whose son are you, young men? The word young man is olam. What did God put in the mind of man? The Bible tells us, but because we can't understand it, that God put eternity into man's mind. But the word translated eternity means young man, stripling, youth. So what did he put in man? I will tell you from experience what he put into man's mind. He put David. He put David into the mind of man. Don't forget we looked at another lecture, Pure in Heart. I believe it was, where David is looking for his home. In a sense, he's on a journey looking to find his home. And until you essentially become unalloyed, become pure as gold, pure in heart, become like an Israelite. His home isn't found until that happens, that happens in you, by grace. And David reveals himself because he is now home. He's now found a place he can nest. As Neville said in that other lecture, birds have nests. A fox has a hole in the ground, a bear has a cave, as examples. But David doesn't have a home. But as he's just saying now, David is already in you. But are you ready to provide him the home? And you don't earn that timing. That timing is put upon you. It's given to you, as Neville describes, by grace. He put David into the mind of man. I'm going to repeat here. It's the second act of the fulfillment of God's promise. Because he promised in the previous chapter, 1 Samuel 17, to set the Father of this youth free in eternity. He took eternal youth, symbolized as David, and put it into the mind of man and promised that anyone who conquered the enemy of Israel, the Philistine, that his Father, not He, but the Father, would be free. So he is looking for the Father. Listen to the words. Whose son are you? I'm not asking you about the boy. Whose son are you? If I ask you, whose son are you? I am curious about your Father, not concerned about you. For the promise is the Father must be set free. So here is the great mystery. Now, a few months later, a similar vibration from that which preceded my own birth from above, took place. This time there was an explosion, an expansion beyond the wildest dream. And when the dust settled, as it were, I am looking into the face of David. There is no doubt in my mind. I am seeing David, and there is no doubt in our relationship. He is my son, and he doesn't have any doubt in his mind that I am his Father. And he calls me Father. Fulfilling scripture, the 89th Psalm. Thou are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. So David has been hidden in the mind of every being in the world. At a moment in eternity when man is ripe for it, there is an explosion. And he sees, and he sees David. And David is his son. No one knows who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Now, what is the significance of this? It is God's purpose to give us his Son. There is no way in the world that he can give us his love if God is a father. Unless God be a father, unless he gives us fatherhood. I can't be a father unless there is a child. And his only begotten son is David. Psalm 2. You are my son. This day I have begotten you. He looks upon David and calls David his only begotten son. He takes his only begotten son, Translated in the Bible as olam, buries it in the mind of man, and then gives to man himself, giving to man his son. If I am the father of God's only begotten son, I and God are one. In the world where I still must wear a garment of flesh, that full inheritance is denied me. It has not yet become actual, or at least not fully realized, so long as I wear this garment of flesh. But my visions reveal the fulfillment of his promise in me. Complete inheritance of the world when the garment which is the veil hiding me from my inheritance is taken off. So here. Whose son are you, young man? I am the son of thy servant Jesse. The word Jesse is the root of the word I am. It is any form of the verb to be. It is the root of the word yod, hey vow, hey pronounced yod hey vav hey, which we translate Jehovah. He is telling you that his father is Jehovah, the only God. All scholars are agreed that the genealogy given to David in the book of Ruth and Chronicles has been added. They try to give sense to the Scripture. But the most comprehensive of all the works on Scripture in the in existence is the Encyclopedia Biblica. The Encyclopedia Biblica claims that in the earliest of all known manuscripts, there is no father beyond Jesse. David has the father Jesse, and Jesse has no father. There is no genealogy of Jesse in the earliest known manuscripts in the Hebrew tongue. But men trying to give sense to this have added a genealogy. They go back from Jesse all the way to Adam, which we now have in our book of Luke and Matthew. But the earliest known manuscripts are start with Jesse. He has, like Melchizedek, no background, because God has no father. So the father of David is Jesse, which means I am. And I am has nothing behind, has no origin of ties in its self. So when you see David, God has completed himself and has given you himself. There is no way he could give you himself and yet not give you his son. If he restrains his son and didn't give you his son, he didn't give you himself, for he is a father. If I give you fatherhood, Then where's my child? And then the child comes before you and reveals your fatherhood. Eternal youth was put into the mind of man. I mean, how do you feel? Excuse me, I have to add this. It's knocking on my head. How do you feel when you're a teenager, when you're in your 20s, do you not feel totally and completely immortal? The only time mortality and I've experienced death early in my life, and we'll get into my story later, but having experienced it from a point of incomprehension at an age of incomprehension, I didn't fully have a way to understand it. And only after growing up with a certain set of friends, which we are all still friends. We all have an amazing sincere loyalty to each other. It's beyond comprehension. It's itself only. Only when one of us was, was, was definitely leaving this realm, his physical self was going away. And when he was lying there and I was looking at him and I was seeing his tattoos on his arm and I was seeing his yellow skin, mortality never dawned on me. And that was in my 40s, you know, I think it was in my 40s, I believe. But when you're in your teenage years, in your 20s, do you not feel completely, totally immortal? That there are so many tomorrows? You don't even have a concern, at least in me and in the group of people I grew up with and our fervent enthusiasm towards life. But until I saw one of my very close friends about to walk through the door into the next whatever, I never had a mortal attitude or a mortality bone in my head, bone in my being. I just didn't see. I only saw forever. I could only ever comprehend eternity, that it's all completely always available. I still feel that way to a large degree, but only when one of us was going to leave the party was I finally going, oh, there's an actual end to this party. This party does have a moment when the clock's gonna run. Run out. It was. The only time it actually entered my being was that when a close friend was gonna walk through the door and I'm like, oh, wow, okay. Luckily in my. Well, I don't know about luck, but the beginnings I've dealt with death, but not again at an age where it wasn't. Where it wasn't having experienced. People assert to a large number of years and then they go, I hadn't had that experience. And then this close friend, when he left, it was quite an awakener. But that eternal youth quality in my opinion. You feel it quite intensely in your teenage years and in your 20s, for instance, that there's just an infinite amount of tomorrow. So you can just do anything, which is wonderful. It's a great feeling. I think what he's saying here is that eternal youth in us is always. It's always there at any age you happen to be. It's always there. As he's describing, eternal youth was put into the mind of man, and then comes that moment in time when men discover who he is and it's all God. So the promise I tell you from experience is true. We are told in 2 Corinthians 1:20, speaking of Christ Jesus. In him are all the promises of God fulfilled. All the promises of God. Find their affirmation, their fulfillment in him. Well, end quote. Well, who is Jesus? Well, who is Christ? Jesus Christ. Jesus is God the Father. How do I arrive at that point? Scripture plus experience in John 14:8, the disciple Philip said to him, lord, show us the Father and we will be satisfied. Jesus said to him, have I been with you so long and yet you do not know me? Philip, Philip. He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, show us the Father? But no one asked him, where is your son? Read the story. No one dared ask him anything. A child bears witness of fatherhood, so no one asked him anything. So he brings up the question, not in the same chapter. Because the Bible is a mystery. You have to dig and search. So when no one would ask him a question, he turned to them and asked, what think ye of the Christ? Whose son is he? And they, based upon tradition, began to speculate. And they asked him and made all kinds of statements. They said, the Son of David. He said, then why did David in the Spirit call him Lord if David thus calls him Lord? And how could he be David's son? The word translated Lord is Adonai A D O N I Adonai. And every child referred to his parents as Adonai, meaning my Father, my Lord. He tells you he fulfilled the 89th Psalm. If David thus calls him Father, how could he then be David's son? I tell you, the story is all wrapped in you unto unfolding in you. And in the end you are heir to the universe because you are one with God. And all of us together have the same son. Now I am individualized, and so are you. And every being in this world is destined to be Christ like without losing his individuality, not in eternity. And yet you and I are one because we have the same Son. You are destined to be David's son. You are destined to be David's father right now. You think he lived 3,000 years ago? I tell you he is buried in you. He is raising his son, lifting up his son out of you. And when he lifts his son out of you, at the same time he resurrects you as himself. So he resurrects you and his son and gives you the relationship of father, son, you being the father and his son. His only begotten son is your son. Therefore who are you but God the Father? We are all destined to be God the Father and yet individualized. I know I will never lose my individuality and you will never lose yours. And yet we are one. We are one because we have the same son. And the son's name is David. Now his power laden work really began at the Descent of the Dove. Everything before that was simply preparatory. This is a true experience, the Descent of the Dove. All this symbolism is true. It will happen to you. I will tell you how it happened to me. No one sees it outside of the one to whom it happens. As told us in Mark 1:10. It will come just as unexpectedly as all others come. You go to bed quite innocently, as I said on the other video recently, minding your own business. You go to bed quite innocently, as I did. A perfectly normal day. No excitement. And then in the wee hours of the morning, this will happen. You will suddenly see the strangest transparency. Transparent beyond the wildest dreams, translucent. Then suddenly, 20 or 30ft over your head, you will see a beautiful dove. A light beige like natural linen. There's a note here. See the lecture Prophetic Blueprints, page two and page seven. I just read that lecture, so I. And I know I just was having a memory of that. He just described that. So that was in that lecture just before this called Prophetic Blueprints. The olive skinned dark woman implied that man's future was relative to his present. Large bowel, like the caterpillar bowl, B O W E L whose future is the butterfly. Man's future is so fantastic you can't describe it in words. He is not the caterpillar that feeds upon the leaf. Relative to it, he is the winged creature as described in the book of Ezekiel and Isaiah. This winged seraphim, whose body is one of light. Face human, yes. Hands human, feet human. But the body, no. He has no need for the large bowel. He doesn't need any food to sustain himself. For now he is a life giving being, life within himself. Therefore he is a being of radiant light. Although he does. Although he does have human features, hands and feet. As she said that to me, I am still holding the dove. Then I felt myself crystallize when once more and I am back in my bed. All the others preceded it. It started in 1959 on the 20th of July in San Francisco. Then came the revelation of David in the month of December 6, 1959. Then came the splitting of the temple which is the body on April 8, 1960. Then came the interval of a few years until the 1st of this year, January 1st, 1963 where the dove descended. Knowing my scripture, I knew then that this work really began. That power laden work started at the descent of the dove which symbolized the Holy Spirit. Now think about this. Neville's entire career has spanned already pretty much he's now 10 years, nine years before his departure from this party and he now has the dove and he's done all this work before then. So. But then he's saying now at the end of this mystical experiences, now these four mystical experiences as he's just described them, now he's saying this is where the work begins. That power laden work started at the descent of the dove which symbolized the Holy Spirit. What I have told you this night is true 100%. I can promise you as you are promised in scripture, having realized it in myself, you will realize it. You do not earn is a gift. It is all grace. You do not earn it. It is a gift. It is all grace. Grace. God's promise is unconditional. God's law is conditional. If you want to apply God's law toward anything in this world, it is all conditional. You can't be in one state and not suffer the consequences of not being in another state. So if I would be in the state of being healthy, I must assume that I am. We are told call upon his name. That phrase call upon his name is not properly translated. It is call with his name. How will I call with his name? His name is I am. If I would call with his name and his name is I am. I would say I am healthy as we are told. Let the weak man say I am strong. I am calling with his name. Don't call upon his name as you are taught in the churches in the name of Jesus Christ, give me so and so. It won't work. But if you will call with his name as to the finances, I am wealthy. His name is I am. If I stood here as a judge and took Neville and threw him over there and sat him before me and asked him to defend himself. Knowing what I know about him, I could not give him what he has given to me. Excuse me. I could not give him what has been given to me, which thrills me beyond measure because I know everyone will get it. If I really felt in my heart of hearts good and clean and wholesome and all these things in the world, then I might feel sorry for the rest of the world. But I don't feel that way. I know what I have done. I know what I am capable of doing. And because I know these things are not me. And yet I was called and given this gift, I know everyone will be given it. As you are told in scripture, if it comes by law, then it is not by grace. It did not come by law, it came by grace. The law was given us by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Everyone will be called in God's own good time and given fatherhood. And fatherhood is given you through his Son. No fatherhood, no son. Who is the Son? The Son is David. And Jesus Christ, as you have been taught to believe, is the Son. He is not the Son. Jesus Christ is God the Father. When you see me, Philip, you see the Father. How then can you say, show us the Father? People can't quite understand that mystery, but he really is God, the Father. Anyone who becomes the Father of David is Jesus Christ, even though he does not lose his own individuality. And everyone in the world is destined to be the Father of David, as Jesus Christ is the Father of David. There's one thing you definitely feel in all of my mystical experiences. Want to call them, whatever, who cares? The words, all these experiences and out of bodies, lucid dreams, mystical abcdefg. All these experiences, you always feel the you you feel right now. There's no. It doesn't wash out in any kind of dilution. It's still just you in the experience. You're not you don't. You don't get. You don't go over here and something else comes in here. No, you're you. And having the experience, your individuality stays intact. And that's for sure. I can definitely attest to that. Absolutely 100%. And everyone in the world is destined to be the Father of David. As Jesus Christ is the Father of David. He can't be a father and not have a son. When he tells us I am the Father, then where is the Son? So he brings it up. What say ye of Christ? Whose son is he? The Son of David. Then why does David call Him Father. If David thus calls him Father, then how can he be David's son? That's the story. Everyone is destined to be the father of David. And being the father of David, they are Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ himself, the Father. That is God's promise to man. You can see how it's backwards in Churchianity. It's taught a different. In a different form, in a different literal translation. The way you're going to experience it is this way, not that way. This is inside, that is outside. If we try to rationalize it on this level, it will not make sense. The priesthoods of the world do not know the Bible, so they teach it differently. He sent me to tell you either you haven't heard it, or maybe you have forgotten it, which I will go with the second. With the latter, yes, you have forgotten it. It's that simple. I have come to remind you because in some peculiar way, it does not rest upon your hearing it and your acceptance of it. So man must first hear it and man must accept it. As told us in the book of Hebrews, there is quite a difference between receiving the promise and receiving what was promised to you. What promise? When you receive the promise, you are declared heir to the kingdom. When you receive what was promised, you obtain the inheritance. That is the difference. When you write a will and the attorney records it, you hear, I have written a will, and so you are now heir to my estate. But you are not yet in possession until my will is executed. So I tell you, in effect, God's promise is faithful and true. And everyone who has received it must continue for a while. He can't restrain it. He has to tell it in the hope that many who hear it will believe, for it is based upon the belief in the promise. So I tell you what is going to happen in the hope you will believe it. On the other hand, if you are wanting God's law and you want money or things or something else in this world, I apply it. You'll get it. It's only conditional on what you focus your consciousness on. That's the condition when he says it's conditional. The law is conditional. The promise is not. The promise is coming. The law is up to you how you focus your consciousness. That's what makes it conditional. The the condition is, where am I putting my consciousness to? What is it focused? What would it profit a man if he gained the whole vast world and suffered the loss of his soul? You know that story. He had more grain than he could possibly put into the barn. O foolish man. Do you not know that your soul is required of thee? Luke 12, 16, 16 through 20. But man does not care. He does not believe God's promises. So tonight, as small an audience as we are, may I ask you to believe every word I have told you. This night I have experienced. It happens to every being in the world. Believe it. Yet I am as fragile a man as you are. But in spite of the weaknesses of the outer man, God's promise has been fulfilled in me. Now let us go into the silence. If you're driving, you're not closing your eyes, obviously. Oh, boy. The promise. I can use the law on anything in this world. His promise comes in due time. Good. There was so many lectures. I've been remastering the lectures and I just. I've been loading them up on the channel, if you've not noticed. I think I put up 100 last night. I'm not going to go with the other channel. I'm going to keep it all on this channel to keep it focused. But in the lectures, there's about five of them, I believe, out of 130. I think I've assembled probably maybe 138, four of which are sides of an album. So let's call that 134 lectures, approximately. Anyway, there's about five of them that have. When he says thank you, good night at the end, and then there's actual applause. And it was very, very dim in the audio file, so I raised it quite a bit so you can hear it. So there'll be some surprises when you hear some of those tracks where there's some applause. And some of these lectures are so wonderful. Neville. Man in all of his grace and glory. If we do not experience the birth in this present embodiment, will we still experience it in the future? Good question. Answer. It is difficult for man to believe it. But the most denied book in the Bible is Ecclesiastes. In the first chapter, we are told, what has been is what will be. And what has been done is what will be done. And there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which is said? See, this is new. It has been already in ages before us. There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to happen. Ecclesiastes 1:9, 11. Time is bent, curved. It is much larger than 70 years. And man cannot go back and really remember things 70 years ago. The scripture is much larger than that. Each fulfills his destiny within that time wherein he was sitting. You will realize the Part with modification. And then God, in one moment, his mightiest of all acts will resurrect you. You are lifted out of the grave for this. The body is the grave where man is encased and man is God. Golgotha means skull. The priesthoods of the world try to justify it by trying to find a little area in the near east where they claim they have found it. They tell the faithful around the world and they believe it. Christ in you is the hope of glory. Christ will be resurrected and you and he are one. Jesus Christ is your maker and he is your husband and he has to leave all and cleave to you. What a wonderful, wonderful lecture. God's promise to Man. I knew it was going to be total. You got a lecture with the title. In the title is the word promise. You know, it's going to go deep. And that one went really. I loved it, man. I mean, that was really good. I hope you had a favorite part. Whatever your favorite part was, put it in the. In the. In the comments. Wow. I love the way he starts it. This is one of the most difficult subjects I have to tell. Had I not experienced it, I wouldn't dare attempt it. God's promise is true. He who promised it is faithful and is being fulfilled in every being in the world. And the unnumbered beings to come. It's an active now. That's the beauty of this. I know I keep advertising for the Seth material, and I don't mean to do that as much as just bring the awareness of what that body of work can teach is that you become aware of your. Of this now, of this eternal now you're experiencing. And when you see what he just said in that one sentence, you can tell how it's constantly coming up in the now, in the eternal now. It's an interesting way to put it because in the eternal now, let's say it's like this disc, we're just bubbling up in that eternal now were like little flashes of light. Let's say that that was a pot on the stove, not boiling pot, but let's say it was. The water was boiling and it was, you know, when I was in the Navy, on the back of the. Of the ship at night, when the ship's doing 50 knots, 55 knots, 60 knots, 60, 65 miles an hour, basically through the water in the ocean. Black, pitch black at night. You can go to the back of the boat on the fantail. You can stand right above this massive cauldron of water just, just brewing in the Air. Because these big huge propellers, screws we call them, are turning water very fast. Nuclear powered ship. You can see these lights in the water. I don't know what they were called. There's a technical term for all this. Phosphorescent, this and that and the other, whatever it is, the ocean. Great, if you know about it. Wonderful. I don't know the names, but I could see the lights when I was standing on the fantail and looking down at the water. And those lights would just pop off, you know, right there in that, in that wake. In that wake water just pop off. And that's. If you could imagine this round pot with this bubbling up water. It doesn't have to be bubbling, but there it is. There is this kind of effervescent quality to these lights. And that's all a now if you can imagine this with me for fun. This round spacious present called the Eternal now has these lights that pop off. And this is only now. There is no beginning and end. And in that now, your light, my light, his light, her light, their light, all lights, mom and dad's light, kids light, cousins, light, uncles, aunts, all of it. And they're all only happening in a now. Getting that now thing wrapped into your mind can take a minute, but it's worth it. Because when you can see that your light is also one of these lights, then it's okay. It's okay to do your best, to do what you. What is the most noble wish you could have? What is the most noble, biggest, largest desire that only you could have, no one else could have it but you. Your light is that desire. It wouldn't, you wouldn't be here but to embody your light as your light pops off. And what is that? What is that? That movie with the country singer where he says, I don't want you to go to your grave with your music still in you. It's that same quality. So when you go to your close the closet to your door and you go in silence and you find out what your desire is within you, you find out what only you can do, because that's the only reason it's in you. This will be your light amongst in this round huge cauldron of eternal now. Your light is in there. My light's in there. What is it that you desire? What is it that's driving you? What is it that you like, love, enjoy and could spend? No concept of the clock while you're doing it? The clock time is completely vanished while you're doing this. Whatever it Is that being your desire? When you shoot for that, then that's when your light turns bright. In your now. In your now. There is no more time when you're focused on what is your light. What is it that lights you, that excites you, that is your desire. As Neville says, make it big, dream big. The most noble, whatever it is that's in you could only be coming through you because you are here. And at some point, as you chase that light, chase meaning, set your mind to it, then he comes and recognizes that you're ready for this resurrection. That's only one viewpoint of this, an opinion. In this moment, in this moment that's changing, you can't come back and watch this video again and catch the same information because you'll be different. And as I learned in the Seth material, every action changes every other action. As you watch this video one time, you go away and experience life. You come back and watch it again, it will be a different video because you'll be different. Because the actions you took, every action you take changes every other action that can be taken. It's very fascinating subject, the now. Okay, Almost broke a sweat there. All right, we're going to see you in the next one.
