Jesus Only by Neville Goddard (05-28-1963)

Neville Goddard 1963 lectures Jesus only May 28, 1963 now tonight's subject is Jesus in quotes. Last week a friend of mine said to me, you know, I've heard you so often, but really over quite a period now, and I'm not quite sure that you believe in Jesus. Oh boy. Well, that's my friend's opinion perfectly alright. If I said to you, do you believe in God? The chances are everyone here would say yes without batting an eye. And if you ask me, do you believe in God? I would, without hesitating I would say, why certainly I believe in God. But you know, you and I may be miles and ages away in what we believe today. I said, I believe in democracy. Well, so does Khrushchev, but it's not my concept of democracy. Or maybe how old is the United Nations? I don't know. But the Australian ambassador who represents Australia at the United nations in San Francisco, blank space. He defined for us his country's concept of democracy, which is my concept, but it may not be yours and certainly it is not Khrushchev's. He said, democracy to us in Australia is based upon the principle of compromise, but not upon the compromise of principle. All the difference in the world for that's my concept of democracy. This two party system was where this area of the world, our world needs help, but it doesn't. Someone in the Midwest, they don't need the same kind of help, but they will cast their vote with me representing this part of the world that I may get the help I need for the people I represent. And so I don't need what he wants when the vote comes up and he's putting it forward. But I remember his kindness to me and so I will throw my vote with him. That's not compromising principles, it's simply the principle of compromise. So when I was asked, do you believe in Jesus? I said, well, I don't think anyone walking the face of this earth, of this earth, believes more in Jesus than I do. But who is Jesus? The poet said, truth embodied in a tale shall enter in at lowly doors. Well, the authors of the Bible, and no one to this day knows who they are, no one knows the author of the Bible, save it's inspired and dictated by God. So when we read Jeremiah, Isaiah and all these names, no one knows the true prophet who received an inspiration, this word of God. But they knew, as the poet I just quoted knew, that we understand best not bare truths, but thoughts put into stories. Man wants to see the truth and so they presented the story in just such. In such. They presented the story in such a manner that we could see the truth. But over the years, man has mistakenly taken personifications for persons. They've mistaken the vehicle that conveys the message for the message, the grossed. Excuse me, the gross first sense for the ultimate sense intended. So today we have idols made out of the personifications of truth. So here, let me this night try to explain to you what I mean when I use the word Jesus. You see, you and I name a child because we like a relative or a friend or maybe the sound of the name you will say, well, I like that. That sounds well. So we give a child a name based upon sound or based upon the fact that we like our uncle or our father or our mother or maybe some friend. But in the Bible, this great book of God, it is not done in that manner. In the Hebraic world, names are chosen for their meaning in blank space. So all these names are chosen for their meaning in the great drama of God. So what is the name Jesus? It is the Anglicized form of the Hebrew word Joshua. It means Jehovah is salvation. Jehovah is a savior. Therefore, the 43rd book, excuse me, the 43rd of the book of Isaiah tells us, for I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your savior. I, I am he. And besides me, there is no Savior. Verse 11. Call him Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins. So he's called Jesus. And the only Savior is Jehovah. And Jehovah's only name is I am. So who is Jesus? He's the Savior, the only Savior. He will save all people, his people, from their sins. And his name is Jesus. The word Jesus is spelled the same root as Jehovah. It begins yod, hey vow. That is the root of the name of the Lord, which we call the Lord, which in Hebrew don't even sound it. It's so sacred a name you don't sound, but you've got to sound it. If you could, if you could, they translate the word the Lord, but it is called the. But he is called the Lord. And so Jesus and Jehovah are one and the same. But the name of Jehovah. And man forgets it. He just can't keep the tense with him. The name is I am. So when I make the claim that God so loved you that he became you, I mean that literally. That's not some poetical statement. I mean it literally. He so loved you that he became you. It is God's purpose to give you himself. As though there were no others in the world. Just God and you. And finally, only you. The gift is complete, and it's only you. For his name is I am. So when we are told he bears all the sins of the world, all the blows of the world. That is to be taken as literally true. Many years ago, when I was in the theater. This goes back into the 20s, the early 30s. There was quite an argument going on in our little circle in New York. As to the true author of Shakespeare. Many believed it was Bacon. Others believed other people. But no one would accept the fact that there was a man called Shakespeare. And so someone presented the argument. It was an acrostic. And they brought me the book of the tempest. Written in 1611, the year that our Bible came out in English. That was the year that the King James Version was presented to the public. So Shakespeare wrote the Tempest in the atmosphere of that beautiful English. And no one understanding English would put anyone in Shakespeare's class when it comes to the use of English. We love Mr. Churchill. I love him as a man. I love all these great men, men and women that walk the face of the earth over the years, over the centuries. But you have to really. Well, you must be able to read the English tongue. To put anyone in a close race with Shakespeare and the use of the English tongue. Whoever he was. I don't know whether he was Bacon, and I question that seriously. But whoever he was, there was a master. And he had but 300 years. And no one truly knows who wrote Shakespeare. But here is the year 1611. And he brought out the Tempest. In the first act, second scene. The heroine of the story, Miranda, turns to her father, Prospero. He has. He was the banished Duke of Milan and shipwrecked. And so he had the power of enchantment. And so, using his magical powers, he created storms and lightning and all kinds of disturbances, turbulence. To rescue the usurper of his title, which he did. So Miranda turns to her father, Prospero. And it's a very simple little story. But instead of using the acrostic in this, which they try to convince you. Shakespeare did it. I thought of only what was there. It has stuck with me through the years. And this is what she said to her father. You have often begun to tell me what I am. But stopped and left me to the. To a bootless inquisition concluding, stay not yet here. She's asking, please tell me who I am. Tell me. You've often begun to tell me what I am. But stopped and left me to a bootless inquisition, concluding stay. Not yet. Well, whoever was Shakespeare was a giant, a mystical giant to have written that little speech of Miranda. For here we are, Miranda, left to a bootless inquisition. I need not tell you about the word Inquisition, where a man is put through the tortures of hell. Bootless. Well, a boot covers the foot. And the foot has always been the symbol of the generative organs of man. Always in all the languages of the world. When I wash the foot, I am cleaning the creative organ of a man. When I take the linen cloth from you and I wipe that foot, I am exposing the creative organ of the man. When I say, take off your shoes for the ground on which you stand is holy ground, I am telling you to uncover the creative organ of the man. On that eighth day, the circumcision is the unveiling of the creative organ of a man. So here it is, an unveiling of this power where man is then subjected to the most violent rape in the world. Not only sexual rape, but all kinds of rape. Revolutions are rape, wars are rapes. All the violence of the world is the bootless inquisition. And so you have left me to a bootless inquisition, concluding stay. Not yet. It isn't yet time for you to know who you are and what you are. I can tell you this night who you are in the hope you'll believe it. But with all of my faith and my intensity, I question seriously that you will believe it. I tell you that you are Jesus, the only Jesus. There's nothing but Jesus, and Jesus and Jehovah are one. There's nothing but God in this world. And Jesus is playing this part. And he was left to the bootless inquisition, where they spat upon him, where they hurt him, where they did everything in the world conceivable for conceivable for man to do to a man. Browning said, man's inhumanity to man, it's part of the drama. And so tell me. You've often begun to tell me what I am, but stopped and left me to a bootless inquisition, concluding stay. Not yet. If you have an original portfolio. I don't mean the original, I mean a facsimile. I have one at home. And when you see it printed, it does not spell bacon. No question about it. For the beginning of every line is capitalized and so the first line is indented. So that's not intended to be read. You have often. That's indented and it begins with begun. Well, begun is a blank space. B, capital B, Period. Begun to tell me what I am, but stopped. Then you come back to the next line. And. And. And is capitalized. And left me to a bootless inquisition. Come back to the next line. Concluding. Well, C is capitalized. Concluding. Capital C. Stay. Not yet. So you come down the first capitalized line and it spells B, A, C. That's vertically, but there is no other line. You go across the bottom line and it spells O, N. So that's how my friend who tried to persuade me, Bacon was the author, told me where in an acrostic the author was concealing his identity. But that's not what I got from that wonderful, wonderful speech of Miranda. We are Miranda. And we are left to this bootless inquisition until that moment in time when the waiting is over. And like Job, we cry out. You know we cry out. You know I am guiltless. Why then do you do this agony. Excuse me, repeat. You know I am guiltless. Why then do you, by this agony, try to win from me a concession of guilt? So we are the Jesus. We are Jesus. But it's part of the great plan to awaken us as God. And so I do believe in Jesus. But my Jesus is not the concept of the world's concept of Jesus. He's not something detached from me, something out in space to whom I pray like an idol. No, my Jesus is in me as my own very being. The only being that I really am, that's Jesus. Only Jesus is resurrected. Only Jesus ascends the Son of man. If he is not in me, I can't ascend. If he's not in me, I can't resurrect. If he's not in me, I can't be saved. For God saves himself. It is God buried in man who went into the sepulcher. Ask the question. Who went into the sepulcher? They put Jesus there. Well, who was resurrected from the sepulcher? Jesus. Did anyone else go in? They went in only as blank space. But the one who resurrected, was he. Well, the sepulcher is your own wonderful skull. That's the sepulcher in your skull. Jesus is buried only. Excuse me. Out of your skull. Jesus will come. And when he comes, when he comes out, he's not another. You don't see another. It's your very being. Listen to the words. It does not yet appear what we shall be. But we know that when we. That when he appears, we shall be like him. First, John 3, 2. How can I be like him and not be he? It does not yet appear. But when he does appear we shall be like him. Stay. Not yet. You don't quite know who you are. It's not quite yet, but I'll give you a cue as to how to bring it to pass. It begins the very first words put into the mouth of Jesus in the earliest gospel, the Gospel of Mark, he makes the statement, the time is fulfilled. It has to be filled up first. All the blank space, like pregnancy. And the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the gospel 1:15. Repent is a prerequisite to entry into the kingdom. And repentance hasn't a thing to do with remorse or regret. It has only to do with the radical change of attitude toward life. That's repentance. Don't forget, the airplane coming into an airport has an attitude. Its attitude dictates how it will land. And it will land wonderfully and safely and easily. Because it has an attitude. If it comes in with an attitude like this, it's not going to be a safe landing. If it takes off like this, it's probably going to go back and hit the ground in an unsafe way. An attitude, when it takes off very proper, it can aim towards it and reach its final destination wonderfully, safely, easily. Repentance is the radical change of your attitude. Your attitude towards what? Your attitude towards you and your destination. What is it you like? What is it you desire? What is it that you nobly wish or for you to experience Radicalness? Excuse me? Repentance. A radical change of attitude is getting fixed on your desire. What is it you want to aim towards? Your desire. Big, noble, your own. Not mine. Yours. What is yours? What's your attitude towards it? This is what I mean by practicing my religion. If I say I believe in him, alright, then repent. Who repents Jesus repents Jesus. Question mark. What did he do that was wrong? You are he. Nothing's wrong. It's simply missing the mark that's sinning. If I miss the mark in life, I must repent by changing my attitude radically toward that state and see it as it ought to be seen. Who by? Me? No, by the world. And believe in this changed attitude of myself toward anything in this world and fix it. Believing in it. If I live in that assumption, just as though it were true, it'll become true. So I produce the signs. These are the wonders of Jesus. All these signs come to pass. And when I least expect it, I'm still in the sepulcher. I will awaken. And may I tell you, if Jehovah And Jesus are one. When he is awakened, is he not awakened by Himself when he is born? Jehovah has no father and mother. Therefore, if I am born, and I am Jesus, and I am not, then am I not then self begotten, then don't I come out of my own being by myself. And I'm telling from experience exactly what happened. You are self born, self begotten. When. When God actually becomes you, he becomes you. There's no one on the outside. He actually gives Himself to you as though there were no others in the world, just you. And you are He. So when you come out, you are born. Just to me. Excuse me. So to me, when I use the words Jesus Christ, I speak of the Way, the truth. What way? The only way. The way to what? The way to everything in the world. The way to health, the way to wealth, the way to everything, but specifically the way to the Father. No man comes unto the Father, saved by me, but no man. And yet when you see Me, you see the Father. John 14:6. You can't come to the Father in any way, save by Me, for I am the Way. And those who were in Christianity in the first, second and third centuries were spoken of as the People of the Way, Capital W. There were, they were not all Christians that came later. They were called the People of the Way. You can read it. In the Book of Acts, the ninth chapter, he goes to persecute the people of the Way. And then he finds who Jesus really is. He finds him within himself and he reveals the Way. And the Way is rejected. God has planned everything as it has to. Excuse me. God has planned everything as it has come out and as it will be consummated. But everything in the world, let no one tell you it's going to pot that others will take advantage. No, no. You're still to be exposed to this bootless inquisition like Job. And when the drama is over in the individual case, well, then he starts on the Way. Now here is the first recorded word of the teacher in the book of Luke, he asked for the Bible. There was only the Old Testament. So they gave him the Bible, the Old Testament, the Covenants of Jehovah, and he opened it up to the 61st chapter of Isaiah. For even to this day, the first five books of the Bible are read over a period of three years. But the reader has freedom of choice as to what part of the prophets he will read. And so they read. And it takes three years to complete the reading of the first five books, called the Torah, the Law but you're free while you have your congregation to read any part of the book. And so he opened up to Isaiah 60:1, and he only read the first verse and the first half of the second one. He doesn't complete the second when it comes to vengeance, he stops at the first half of the second verse. The verse begins, the spirit of the Lord God is upon me. He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor, to open up the prison doors to all that are in prison, to set free all that are bound, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. Our earliest fathers in the church in the second century took this passage of Luke and they went out and preached. Is still in print from the earliest fathers in what is today the Catholic Church. So that was the beginning of it all. And this father made the statement that this first passage, read from Isaiah, meant that God's work was completed in a year, proclaimed the acceptable year of our Lord. And he took it to mean that whatever that work was, it was done in a year. Now, I didn't get that. I'll tell you mine in a second. I'll see if he covers it. And he was right. In spite of all that has happened in the interval, he was perfectly right. After this exposure to the bootless inquisition, when we are now lifted up, it only takes one year to complete that passage. From resurrection, birth, discovery of David and the splitting of the temple and the ascension right into Zion, all within a year. Now, my attitude, I'm always. Remember now, I'm always talking about new now. This is my new now. I don't think about the past or future. So when he gets into time, I'm always like, okay, that year means right now. So that's the way I interpreted it before I got to this next section right there. But that's. This is fine. I'm all about. It's now, Vera, I'm going to repeat the sentence. And he was right. In spite of all that has happened in the interval, he was perfectly right. After this exposure to the bootless inquisition, that's the furnaces of affliction, when we are now lifted up, it only takes one year to complete that passage. From resurrection, birth, discovery of David, and the splitting of the temple and the ascension right into Zion, all within a year. We're talking about mystical experiences. The resurrection, birth, discovery of David and the splitting of the temple and ascension right into Zion. I think the birth and the resurrection are the same. Whatever. Have them have the experience, write it down, share it, talk about it, record it, do something with it. So, you know, later you can refer to it and say, oh, that's what that meant. And it happens in three nights, spread over a part of the year again in three days, three nights. I will rebuild it. This time it's the perfect temple. That is Job. So it is that first part of that second verse of Isaiah to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. And so he proclaims it and he tells them all, there's only one way to the Father. So follow the story of Jesus. Read it carefully, all that they say about him, and then know it's your story. The day will come that all these things will happen in you. Don't forget about this, these visions, these mystical experiences, these dreams, whatever you want to call them. Words don't matter. They're not going to happen out here. They're going to happen in here, inside. Don't forget that they're happening typically in the morning, drowsy state when you're still asleep. They're just going to happen. Or they happen as the. As the exploding of the back of my head. I think that was when I was going to bed. I've had them so many different times. I've had them at midnight, I've had them at 11. I've had them at 4:35am when I just fell off to sleep at 9. So I was going to try and narrow them down, but forget it. The day will come that all these things will happen in you. The Bible is not chronologically exact, but it's a beautiful story. But the story is simply assembled into a nice arrangement, as Luke implies. He does not claim any great chronological exactitude. He claims only that his arrangement is a better arrangement than his predecessors. You read the first four verses of Luke and you'll see he's implying his is a better arrangement of the source material. So he has the source material and then he arranges it in story form that people could see the truth. For man insists on seeing the truth. So to see the truth, he personifies it. And so you personify truth. You. You personify the way you personify life, you personify everything. And they take on human characteristics. And so if you insist on seeing a Jesus other than yourself, you're going to see another. What individual it was in whom the only Jesus awoke. Who knows? Who knows what the individual's name was? It means nothing. For it's only Jesus that matters. So what was the mask that he wore when he awoke? What does it matter? He could have been in any form, in any Sex. Because as we're told in the last part of the third chapter of Galatians, in Christ Jesus there is no Greek, no Jew, no bond, no free, no male, no female, verse 28. So he is beyond the organization of sexual, beyond freedom, beyond slavery in this world. When he awakes, when he awakens, he's completely above it all. As I said before, division left me the whole art of division. And when I say division, I mean thinking in opposites. And I studied metaphysics for so many years with the Seth material of my teacher, and trying to get away from opposites, trying to forget about opposites and not be judgmental, etc. Trying to practice it, practice it, practice it. When this thing called division leaves you, you know it's gone. There is no division between you and another you, the other you being God. You know I am he, so you know that he, she, them, is he also. Not only do you know it, you see it, you know it's you pushed out. You know it, you feel it. You can't divide. You can joke and you can use words and have fun, whatever, jokes, whatever. That's not the point. When you know it and division leaves you, you know it. When he awakens, he's completely above it all. And the only thing I speak of here is Jesus. He's your own wonderful human imagination. That's Jesus. He's your own wonderful I am Ness. That's Jesus. Now test them and see, for you're told. Examine yourselves to see whether you are holding to the faith. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless, of course, you fail to meet the test. I hope you will discover that we have not failed. Now, this you will read in the 13th chapter of the Second Corinthians. He's asking you to test it. If he is in you and by him, all things are made. And without him there's nothing made that is made. Then test Him. Test him in the most simple, simple way. If he is my imagination and imagining creates reality, I could go into my inner being, as it were, and assume that things are as I would like them to be. And if my premise is sound, if it's true, it should prove itself in performance, shouldn't it? And so I go to bed in the assumption that I am now the one I would like to be just now. And then in the not distant future, I. I reshuffle the world to mirror my. My accomplishment. The whole thing worked. It takes on form. But if it does, and I repeat it, and it works again and I repeat it and it works again. Haven't I found the creator? That's why I say over and over, create the parking spaces. Park in front of the shop or the restaurant you're driving to see yourself on the curb, looking back at your car, congratulating with whoever you drove there with, High fiving, hugging, tapping each other, touching shoulders, whatever, but touch. Look at the car parked in the spot. You imagine you were already there. You're already there and you're parked. So you're looking back at your car and you're high fiving your friend or your spouse or whomever you're with. Conquer the parking spaces. Conquer the free cups of coffee. Conquer whatever. Get the small things under your belt. They're small because they're seemingly inconsequential. Will they work or not? We're climbing a ladder. All of these little things. You're not emotionally attached to the outcomes. That's why I'm saying to do these. It's when you're emotionally attached to the outcome, the big one, the ones you want for you, that they seem difficult. They seem like it's not working. It's working. It's always working. It's never not working. Sorry for the double negatives, for those of you who are English majors, it's never not working. No matter how small you're imagining. For you, it's in effect, you can bet on it. You can take it to the bank. It will come. It will. If it be late, wait. It is coming. For by him all things are made. And without him there's nothing made that is made. Well, suddenly I make something out of nothing. I didn't ask anyone's help. I didn't turn to anyone to assist me. I simply dared to assume that I am what at the moment my reason and my senses deny. And remaining loyal to my assumption. And it objectified itself and became a fact. I remembered what I did. Remembering what I did. I am faithful now to him. I found him. Remember the story of the guy who put his ear on the ground and heard the oil coming from it and became a multi millionaire, multi billionaire, whatever it was. He knew when he found him, because that's what he was doing. He was using him and creating. He found the creator and created his wealth. But then he forgot him. Then he became bored forgetting him. The creator within him. Then he became bored and couldn't buy happiness. You don't want to discover this and how it works and then apply it and see it work and then forget him. Because you just turned it right off. You might get your bank account and then it's just going to go like this. And you're going to go like this. Don't forget when you find him and discover him where he is so you can use him for happiness and abundance, which is why you're here. But now you don't go and say I am Jesus. No one must go out and say I am he. For you're bragging again. I have to say this last year would be my 23 month mark of Neville hardcore. And I was trying to tell a Christian friend I am he because I was so blown away by this new discovery and it was overwhelming me to the point where it's pouring out of my cup. And the way this works on me, forget it, I can't contain. I can hardly contain. So I was doing that. I wasn't bragging like as if I was like this. I was more like, you got to realize this man, this is I am he means if you see me, you see my father. And I was telling him these few things. He's like, you're cuckoo, dude. You're nuts. What do you think you're saying? You know, he's looking at me like with. He was, he was very perturbed. No one can brag because everyone is Jesus, but they don't know it. All you can do is tell them that they are. And when you tell them who they are, 99.99% of the world would be offended, embarrassed, because you have insulted their God. They can't feel equal to that. They feel unclean. They do not feel they could possibly come near that state. Therefore, when you tell them that's blasphemy and they'll tell you it's blasphemy. But I tell you it's not blasphemy. I and my father are one. But we are one and you can make the same claim. The day will come and everything I've told you concerning the Way will prove itself in you. I'm speaking from experience. I am not theorizing. This is not theory with me. It's all experience. Hasn't a thing to do with any orthodox training whatsoever. I've had none of it. Only the simple training of a boy raised in a Christian environment where we had Sunday school and irregular meals and the usual discussions in a Christian home where we discussed the Bible. That was my only training. So I've had no orthodox training. This was not from anything man has told me. It's all based upon what I have experienced. All by revelation. It came unsought Unexpectedly and all within one year, the expectable year of the Lord. When that moment comes, you move up that moment of resurrection through the birth, through all right into Zion, the house of God, all in a year, remaining clothed in that garment of flesh that you may tell the story until you take it off for the last time. And you will take it off for the last time after you've gone through the acceptable year of the Lord. Whoa. There is a death, I have to say, also from me to you, from experience, there is a definite level of awareness that you felt the whole time, all your years in the furnaces, you have felt this sense of awareness of it all. For myself, speaking personally, I have never felt completely asleep. Like, when I say awareness, I mean unaware to the point where you're just literally an automaton. Like, just singly focused like that. Like an automaton might be like robotic, without the awareness of something else. And I don't mean up in the sky. I just mean of more than what we think we see with our eyes. I've never lacked that awareness or something to do with strongly that consistent nagging awareness that, wait, there's. This can't be as simple as, you know, man printed this paper and we call it money, you know, that kind of thing. And these coins are made of metal. I don't understand why they mean something different when all it is is copper, you know, or whatever. But I've always had that nagging awareness which was bigger. I've never been without that. Just telling you from my experience, the day will come and everything I've told you concerning the way will prove itself in you. I'm speaking from experience. I think I'm repeating, I'm not theorizing. Oh, okay, hold on. Yep, yep, catching up. You will take it off for the last time after you've gone through that acceptable year of the Lord. And so I've tried to tell it as clearly as I can. I have not embellished it. I haven't added to the story just as it happened to me. I have told it in the very last chapter of my latest book, the Law and the Promise. And I quoted with words from the Scriptures. So I have presented two witnesses. When you bring two, then you have conclusive evidence. If they agree for two, by nature would be opposition, would be enmity, it would be difference. For when two different persons agree in testimony, it is conclusive. And so if I had the experience and then searching through the ancient scripture, I found supporting text for the experience. So here is agreement in testimony and Therefore, it's conclusive. And so I gave you the story and as it happened to me, and gave you that text in scripture that supports that experience. And some lady said to me tonight, before I took the platform, I wanted to give you. Excuse me. I wanted to give a few books away to my friends. And you haven't awakened imagination at the moment. Would you recommend some other title? Well, I recommended that among one of the three. I said, my friend, pick three different titles and have them exchange the books. Well, here's my latest book. It's one I recommend. Well, she said, I'm quite sure that if they read the last chapter first, they'd tear it up. I hope not, for the purpose of the book is to tell all how God's law works. But what. But that would be the law without the promise. And you could have this law so down, so perfectly under your control that you could own the earth and yet not have the promise fulfilled. Because no one is justified by law before God. You can't be. It's only the fulfillment of the promise. And the promise is given to man. It's grace after he has gone through his bootless inquisition. And I mean bootless, too. God, in his infinite mercy, hides it from himself in the sense he has taken from me the memory of my past. For if man could only see what we had to live through to reach the fulfillment of the promise, I doubt that God himself would venture forward. Mmm. In just this one life. If this is the pinnacle, I don't even want to know what was before Bootless inquisition. It's been bootless enough in this life to know what was before. Fine, okay, it's there. But I don't want awareness of it. This is enough. He had to go into this horror and this really blank space. The churches speak of hell and they're in it. And they don't know that. They think of some greater hell on the outside. But when they are in hell and they don't know this is hell, when some individual consumed with a passion unsatisfied, isn't that hell? That passion may be any kind of passion, an ambition beyond the wildest dreams of man, and you can't satisfy it, that's hell. Look into the world and see the horrors and see all the things that are happening morning, noon and night. There isn't a morning's paper that you can't pick up and see a page of hell. And so we are in it. We are in this bootless inquisition until seven times over. Blank space. Heated seven times more than they were wont to be well when you are brought out just pure gold. Pure gold. And we are the very being who walk through it all. For in the furnaces there were threefold men, and then came the Son of God. But here we have a threefold man. Know what's a threefold man? You're a threefold man. But in the presence of it all, one untouched, not even the stench of smoke upon him. Was. Was the Son of God. Read it in the book of Daniel in the furnaces. Behold the threefold man. But the fourth is Jesus. And Jesus is the reality of every being in the world. There is nothing but Jesus. So when they asked Blake, what do you think of Jesus? Without batting an eye, he replied, jesus is the only God. But quickly added, but so am I and so are you. Crab Robinson, to whom he said this, couldn't understand it, just recorded it in his diary. Luckily we have his diary. And Blake did not elaborate, didn't go beyond it. But I am telling you, when you go to bed this night and you feel sleepy, and you say I am, that's his name. And you believe in him. Well then believe that he is actually creating. Don't forget, among all of this together, you and me on this channel from the beginning, from the Law, from all the books of Neville. And now we've gone into all the lectures, we're still in 1963. Don't forget you're changing and becoming from something you never knew or were aware of, no one ever told you before. I am is his name. You never were aware of it before Neville. At least not in my awareness. There's that one prime belief of Seth's that finishes with Because I am, which is a great prime belief. But there is not much more in educational terms that teaches you that when you say I am, that means it's him in you. So don't forget in all of this. If you're going through all this together, we're on this journey together. You've gone through the law videos, which are all the books, and yet now you're going through the lectures. It's a little bit better tuned up on my homepage on YouTube. It's better organized. Now I'm also going to put a video together on how to study it. But if you've gone this far, you're retraining yourself from a complete state of other than this, let's call it ignorance if you want. It doesn't matter. This doesn't matter. You had wonderful training in anything else. Now your focus is this I want to be a conscious creator. I want to control my life. I want to create my abundance. I want to have control of this consciously and at will. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Then you're taking this new education and this new awareness of I am. And you're applying it. This is the first time now you're overcoming possibly years and decades of other habitual forms of mental habits. So there might be some overcoming here. Don't worry about that. Just hang in there. Be persistent. Persist in being persistent. It will awaken. It will. It can't. But because you're, you're ultimately going to end up there anyway if you get this conquered. Now in this life, you have done it for many. As, as Seth says, in his body of work, you have many, many lives where all of those lives are hoping and wishing just one of them will get here. Neville didn't say that to my awareness. But the point is you're now here. You're the one. All the others of you are relying on all the other multidimensional yous that are missing the mark, that are sinning, that are living in evil. Those are just words that are missing the mark is a better one. All of them are hoping and wishing for one of them, one of you to arrive right where you are at. The ability to study this and to get this. Because in doing that, you're going to take that to all of your other selves. And where do you think you go when you dream? What do you think your adventures are when you dream? It's among all your others. That's where you share this. It radiates wonderfully. And not only in your life. Your daily waking life. Your family, your brothers, your sisters, your mothers, your fathers, your sons and your daughters, your neighbors, your friends. It magnifies. It explodes out of you. There's no denying it. You don't even have to say a word. When you start living it, it will be so obvious to others, they will come running to you. What is so different? What is so amazing? They might say, oh, it happens. It would happen anyway. But you don't have to explain it. You don't ever have to justify any of this. Never explain, never justify and never defend anything, Period. Full stop. Just be it. And you are the lucky one. You're the lucky one that has found the water trough in a big desert. You're the lucky one. Now you have to learn how to drink from it and then apply that nourishment. You have to be it. Knowing is one thing. You have to Be it. Where's my. Where's my. Here it is, over here. Be ye doers, not hearers only. All right. Is that what it says? Yes. Be ye doers, not hearers only. You must, must, must persist. But I am telling you, when you go to bed this night and you feel sleepy, and you say, I am, that's his name. And you believe in him. Well, then believe that he is actually creating. There's nothing impossible to Jesus. Well, then, at that very moment, believing that Jesus is your own wonderful I am Ness. What would you like to be? Assume that you are it and go sound asleep just as though it were true. That's how it operates. Feel as you would feel were it true. Name what you would like to be true and then go sound asleep. Now, don't put this in the closet until I get back in November. This is something to live by. Religion should be practiced. And we don't practice religion by simply going to church and listening to whatever the minister has to say. Blank space, lovely as they are, and I'm all for it, perfectly fine. But that's not practicing religion. Practicing religion is living it every moment of time while we're here. And you practice it best by practicing repentance. Listen to the words. The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the good news. Believe in the gospel, but repent. And repentance tests man's ability to enter into and partake of the nature of the opposite. And so I am, and I name it. And so I am, and I name it, but I don't like it. Well, now I can persuade myself that I am exactly what I would like to be, which is opposed by what I seemingly am. Then I persuade myself that I really am what I would like to be. That tests my ability, my imagination, to do such a thing. But can I do it? Well, try it. Can I, while sitting here, physically assume that I have. That I am elsewhere? If I want to be elsewhere, then. Excuse me. If I want to be elsewhere when there's no way to that other place. Let me repeat the sentence. Can I, while sitting here, physically assume that I am elsewhere if I want to be elsewhere when there's no way to that other place, no money to take you there, no time to allow it, but nothing. Well, can I assume that I am knowing that something will change in my world if it's a radical change, to allow this journey to take place within you, and I'll make it across this world? Well, try it. I have tried it, and it works. I've tried it so that now I don't allow myself to experiment. If I'm not too, too. If I'm not serious. Very, very good point. If you go imagining certain things, you're going to put yourself there. If you. All of a sudden, I'm telling you, man, you start thinking about the coast of Portugal or whatever, be very careful because it works and you will wind up wherever you are imagining. A very good story is I have a friend who lives now locally here in Long beach, and he was in Oregon and we were talking about this concept several years ago. I don't know how many, maybe, I'm going to guess less than 10, eight, seven, maybe. And he was looking. This is his story, but I want to try and encapsulate a little bit. He was looking at the computer and he was looking at the surf website that we look at to see if the waves are up. And he was looking at the beach that we live by and we surf at. And I grew up surfing at. And I first went in the water 10, 11 years old and fell in love with it. He was looking at that on the camera on the Internet about seven or eight years ago, I think it was a little more maybe 10. And he says, I wonder what it would be like to live there and be a local surfer there and surf there all the time. Next thing he knows, his house is sold. His wife and himself are now moved down here. He transferred jobs down here. He worked in multiple locations down here on that job because it has a lot of places. Then he winds up at the local university. Now where he's working. His wife has changed a few jobs and she's working and she's highly. Her position, her, her. Her profession is highly coveted. So she has no. Anywhere she goes, she could light up a new, a new opportunity like nothing, nobody's business. She's in demand. He's in demand, too. And now I was talking to him within a couple weeks and he says, we're. I was talking. He was, he was mentioning somewhere like the coast of Portugal. This was a. A few months ago. And I said, well, Jeff, all you got on. He goes, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't say anything else because he's very creatively minded. He's the one I had in my. Out in my lucid dream where I was asking him, tell me what time it is so I can prove to him that time doesn't exist. That was that lucid dream I had. I described in a previous video. He's the guy I was talking about, but he tells me, don't tell me anymore, because he was talking about Portugal and how the surf and the coastline and how the climates like ours and the latitude. And I go, well, all you gotta. And right when I was gonna say more, he stopped me and he goes, I don't want to hear anything else because I live here now based on what we talked about when I lived there, and I don't want to be moving across the world. I go, fine, that's great. No problem. I'll shut up. Because that's how creative we are. Not just him, but that's how creative we are. If you put something in there, you could wind up there thinking, oh, it all just happened coincidentally. No, you're the creator. You have the creator in you. The ultimate creator. So when he said that, I laugh. I just laugh because he knows it's in him. Doesn't know it like we know it in these words, in this analysis, but he knows for sure to tell me to shut up. He knows. So be wary of what you focus on, because it will come. I don't say worry, don't take risk. I say take risk. I say go for it. Drop in on that big wave, whatever. Just know that it's going to come because you put it in here. So what you put in there, make sure you want. That's why you want to take some deep breaths, close your closet door. Ask yourself, what is it you desire? What is it that would fulfill me and me only? That would make me happy? What would make me happy? When does the clock stop turning when I am doing it? That makes me most happiest. That's what you want to focus on. Try it. I have tried it and it works. I've tried it so that now I don't allow myself to experiment if I am not serious. Because if I do, just for exercise and I don't do it with something I really want to realize, the being I really am doesn't forget it. They'll teach me lessons and bring it to pass when I least expect it and don't want it. That's why I'm saying, be very careful, as I said, and I'll throw another example in there. I was riding my road bike for the last couple years listening to Neville riding by this certain beach, Huntington beach, where there's a certain bike path, where it's closer to the water. And I was imagining now on the coast of Oahu. We haven't solved this riddle yet, but it's coming up that there's an Opportunity that my wife's work might take her at the demand for us to go live in Oahu for a couple years at least. You must be very careful. She doesn't really want that jump over there. Because we want to, you know, we have other ideas in mind. So you have to be very careful. This sentence I will repeat because I was just frolicking about Oahu, thinking about the Iron man and thinking about riding the bike around, you know, the island. This is what they did in the original Iron Man. But let's go back. I'm going to repeat this because it's very, very, very important point. I'll make it across the world. Okay, excuse me, let's repeat the whole thing because it's good. Can I, while sitting here, physically assume that I am elsewhere if I want to be elsewhere? Well, when there's no way to get to that other place, no money to take you there, no time to allow it, but nothing. Well, can I assume that I am knowing that something will change in my world if it's a radical change to allow this journey to take place within you and I'll make it across this world? Well, try it. I've tried it and it works. I've tried it so that now I don't allow myself to experiment if I am not slow, serious. Because if I do it just for exercise and I don't do it with something I really want to realize the being I really am doesn't forget it. They'll teach me lessons and bring it to past when I least expect it and don't want it. So I only experiment with serious things, things I really want to bring to pass. So I only experiment with serious things, things that I really want to bring to pass. And I tell you it won't fail you. But you are the. But you are the operant power. It doesn't work by itself. You have to operate it. And so I tell you you are Jesus. Let no one tell you that you are not. There's only Jesus in the world, yet he's housed in every being. Even those who said there is no God in every being in the world. Those who call themselves atheists are proud of it. He's housed in them or they couldn't even breathe. Nothing in the world could breathe and live were it not that Jesus is buried within him in the sepulcher of his own wonderful skull. And there he remains while he goes through all the pains of the world to awaken himself as that individual. So you'll understand the words at the trand. Transfiguration. When they looked up, Moses was there. Elijah was there. One personifying the law and one personifying the promise. And then came the awakening on the part of the disciples. And there was only Jesus. Jesus only. He had fulfilled it all. Fulfilled the promise. Having fulfilled it. Jesus only. And so you are destined to awaken completely awaken as God. Now let us go into the silence. Let us imagine what it is we want to be. Fill in your own space. I am. Fill it in here. And you know you can say it in the wake day. Right now, while your eyes are closed. You're not driving. Your eyes are closed. You're in the silence. I am. Finish that sentence. You know you're saying it with his name. In his name. I am. It doesn't matter what you want to be. I am married. I am happy. I am free. I am wealthy, I am healthy. I am having fun. There's not too many goals outside of those. Choose one. Be one. As you fall asleep, repeat that. Your homework. Two more minutes of that without. Without me interrupting you. Give it a life. Put some. Breathe some life into it. You're breathing life into the dead. The dead being. The image isn't there now. When you imagine it, you're breathing life into that image. It just has to be mental. I am. Can be in here, not necessarily here. This is very powerful. You can do it here and do it here. You're adding quite a bit. So. What a wonderful, wonderful lecture. Let's repeat the title. We already did that one. It's this one. Jesus only. May 28th, 1963. We're going to see you in the next one.
