Neville Goddard 1963 lectures Life Has a Purpose April 26, 1963 Life Has a purpose. And that is saying God has a purpose. You and I may have plans in conflict with God's purpose, and God allows it for a short while. And you and I can realize our dreams, but only within the framework of God's plan. As we are told in the book of Isaiah, the 14th chapter, the 24th verse, the Lord hath sworn, as I have planned, so shall it be. And as I have purposed, so shall it stand. No one will thwart God's plan. God's purpose. God's purpose is to give himself to us individually as though there were no others in the world. Just God and you, ultimately, because the gift is complete. Just you. That is God's plan. That is God's purpose. And he's mapped the whole thing out for us in the Bible. The entire story he told us in the Old Testament, the New Testament, is the fulfillment of God's plan. Men will not believe this. Even the hundreds of millions who claim themselves to be Christians do not fully grasp it. If they do at all understand it, well, it is his plan. It is his purpose. Tonight it is my desire to share with you what I have experienced concerning God's plan night after night. I want to share with you the joy of a change in imagining. Really, if I could take you with me and persuade you to believe that you are already the one you want to be and that you could really believe that you really are and remain loyal to such an assumption that you really are the man, the woman you want to be. I know from experience that you would become it. I trust you will do it just as we are told in the Scripture, within the framework of his purpose. You will not try to influence me, influence the other, but you will do it, just as we're told in scripture, to alert him that I am what I want to be and do nothing about it, just live in it just as though it were true. And I, in a way I do not consciously know I am, will become it. That I know from experience. You're already doing this all the time. That's how you're sitting right there. But tonight's purpose is to show you the best of my. To the best of my ability. God's purpose, which we said earlier, is to give you himself. In the very last book of the old Testament, the 39th book, the book of Malachi, he said, the son is the honor of the Father, as the servant honors the master. If then I am a father, where is my honor? 1 6. That's the end. The very last book. If the son honors the father as the servant honors the master, if then I am a father, where is my honor? The entire 39 books have prophesied such an honor that God is going to give himself. God is God the Father. He's going to give himself to me. And I do not know that I am a father. If I really am a father, where is my honor? Where is my son? So the book closes on that note. The book of Malachi, the first book of the New Testament, begins to express beyond he gave the Son. But people do not understand this great mystery. So tonight, listen carefully and let me share with you the mystery as I know it from experience. By the way, I'm just dropping a note. I had some amazing visions, lucid dreams, semi out of bodies this morning, at least. Oh my gosh, profound. I'm going to drop them at the end of the video. Just giving you a heads up. So tonight, listen carefully and let me share with you the mystery as I know it from experience. For you could be rich, you could be poor, you could be known, you could be unknown, and you could be anything in the world. It hasn't a thing to do with God's purpose. Excuse me. It hasn't a thing to do with God's promise. God's promise is the most fantastic thing in the world. For he gives you himself. You actually become one with the body of God. It's your body. You are He. You contain all other beings. So whether you are a. So whether you are in part a rich man, a poor man, a beggar man, or a thief, these things are really not important. They don't add up to God's promise. But God's promise is not given in blank space to any work of man. You can be the wisest man, the biggest man, or the richest man, it still doesn't entitle you to his promise. His promise is a gift. You can't earn it. It's a gift. It's grace. It's all grace. And he actually gives you himself. You're the flame, he's the moth. He loves you so much that he dives right in and becomes you. That's his gift. The promise goes back to Genesis. We read the first inklings of the promise in his promise to Abraham. Then we find the promise coming through, evolving slowly. And we find it really crystallizing in his promise to David. Then we find it maturing. And finally we find it in its fulfillment in the New Testament. In the story that we've been taught, the story of Christ Jesus. The story is true, but not as I learned it in my church. I was born and raised in the Episcopal Church. We had it in school. I had Sunday school every Sunday. We had it every Wednesday. Yet it was not the story that my minister taught me. It was not the story that my mother understood and she taught me. It was not the story that my father understood. And they were all Episcopalians. That's not the story. It's a fantastic story. How God gives himself to us. Now, listen to it carefully. It's true. I am speaking from experience. God becomes man, that man may fully become God, as we are told. Excuse me. One body. God becomes man, that man may fully become God. One body, as we are told. As there is but one body, and it has many members, and all the members, one body. So it is with the body of Christ. Romans 12:4. The day will come that you will be brought into his presence, believe it or not, into the presence of God. And in spite of the year 1963, 2025, where our scientists could not conceive of God as man, to them, God is a force. God is a power. God is a process. I tell you, God is man. You will be brought into his presence, and he will ask you a very simple question in your own tongue. If you speak only English, it's asked, and you hear it in English. If you speak only Hebrew, you will be asked in Hebrew, and you will hear it in Hebrew. You will hear it because it's thought you hear as words. He asks a very simple question, what is the greatest thing in the world? And you will answer correctly, as though you are supernaturally prompted, and you cannot fail in the answer. And the answer is love. You will answer in the words of Paul, faith, hope, and love. These three. But the greatest of these is love. First Corinthians 13:13. And as you answer, God Himself will embrace you and incorporate you into his body. And strangely enough, it becomes your body. You occupy as your own body the body of God, as though there were no others, just you. No loss of identity, but none whatsoever. And you're actually incorporated into the body of God. We are called this way, one by one. And after this incorporation, you are sent into this world to tell it to the best of your ability. You will never, in eternity, forget that incorporation. Although you wear a little garment that wears out in this world, subject to all the pains, all the limitations and all the restrictions of garments, in this world, you have the memory of the garment into which you were incorporated. And it is the body of God. You have no doubt in your mind who asked you the question? None whatsoever. You have no doubt who addressed you when you answered correctly. And the whole thing is done in the most glorious manner. And you feel as you never felt before. Well or since, for that matter, a delight beyond the wildest dream of man. A joy you can't describe. When love, personified as man, embraces you and it is God, then it's God's purpose to take each and every being in this world and save him by incorporating him into his body. And the body becomes his body. You are one with God. So it's God's purpose to give himself to us individually. And though there were no others, and though there were no others in the world, just God and you. And finally only you. But God is a father. Listen to the words of Malachi. The son honors the Father as the servant honors the master. If then I be a father, where is my honor? Where is my son? So the end of the Old Testament comes on that note. You'll read it in the first chapter of the book of Malachi. I think it is the sixth verse. It is you asking a question. All these promises to us through the ages have been made. Where is my honor? If God is going to give me himself, and God is a father, he can't give me himself. Unless I am aware of being a father. My child in this world, I know I am the father. I fully believe that I sired my two children. I fully believe it. But millions and billions have done the same thing. That's not what God intended. God has a son, an only begotten son. And unless he gives me that son, I am not God the Father. Psalms 2, 7. But God gives you that son. It's the most fantastic thing in the world. I've talked since it happened to me, dozens and dozens of. Excuse me. I've talked since it happened to me to dozens and dozens of ministers. And they all turn away from me. They think they're in the presence of mad men. Because they were not taught it any more than I was taught it. I was raised in the same strict orthodox background that. That they were. I've talked to rabbis, I've talked to priests, Catholic priests. I've talked to Protestant ministers, and none of them see it. And it's true. God gives the individual his only begotten son. And that son is David. David of biblical fame, the only one. It's David. And one day you will have this experience. You will have this experience. There will be an intensity you have never felt before, all possessing you. And then you'll explode. Your brain will explode. And standing before you will be God's only begotten Son. But he's your son, and you know it more than you know anything else in this world. And he knows it. David, the symbol of humanity, for he symbolizes the whole vast world of humanity. But he is a single youth, beautiful beyond description. And he looks into your face and calls you Father. You know you are his Father, and he knows that he is your son. And then the fulfillment of the 89th Psalm, I have found David. He's cried unto me, thou art my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. Verse 26. So here you come to fulfill Scripture. And God is fulfilling his promises. He's promising in man. He promised everything to man, which is himself. That's everything. And then he's a Father. And the honor of the Father is the Son. And if I then be a Father, where is my honor? Well, from the Old Testament ends. Well, from the Old Testament ends this note. It hasn't yet fulfilled the promise of God. Then comes the new who makes the claim. And men to this day will not believe that it happened because they were misinformed. It has happened and it is happening at every moment in time. At every moment in time. All time is now. There's only one moment. Every moment is the only moment. It's an eternal moment at every moment in time. It is happening in every child born of woman. God is giving Himself to every one of us, but actually giving Himself. And then you will have the complete knowledge of being the Father of God's only begotten Son. He doesn't walk with you as a companion. He's your son. So when we are told he gave his only begotten Son, people misunderstand it and they speak of Jesus Christ. And I swear I do not know anyone that will take his words. But when I quote the words of the 14th chapter of John, they'll say, well, I've heard that, but it isn't literally true. And I tell you, it is literally true. The day is coming. You will know who God really is. You will actually be that being. And his name is Jesus Christ, and you are He. You will be the Father of David, as Jesus Christ claims in Scripture. If one reads it carefully, he is the Father of David. It is said to him, show us the Father and we'll be satisfied. He said, I have been with you so long and you do not know the Father. He who sees Me sees the Father, I am the way to the Father. No one comes unto the Father save by me. But they didn't understand him that I am the father. And I said that after it happened, a man said to me, when? Well, it's not recorded in scripture. You've got to go back in Scripture. It's got to be recorded in scripture that he's a father. And when you quote him, he still can't see it. But now he goes further. No one asked him, If I said to you, I am the father, would you not normally ask me? Well, then where's your son? Wouldn't you? I can't be a father unless there's a child bearing witness of my fatherhood. There must be a child. So where is the child if I am the father? No one asked him the question, so he brings it up. What think ye of Christ? Whose son is he? They answered, the son of David. Then he replied, why then did David in the spirit call him Lord? If David calls him Lord, how can he be David's son? And they asked him no more questions thereafter. The word translated Lord is Adonoi, which is my father, my Lord. But every child spoke of his father as Adonai, my father, my Lord. So David in spirit calls him my father. He revealed who he is. But who believes it? Who accepts it? It's a mystery. As I told you over the months, a mystery is a matter not to be kept secret, but a truth that is mysterious in character. How can I explain to anyone this peculiar, mysterious experience? Were David of biblical fame, go back now unnumbered centuries and out of my own skull comes a child, David. An explosion. And David looks into my face and calls me Father. I had no feeling prior to that moment of any relationship to any biblical character. I was taught it as you were taught it. Everyone was taught it, just like I was taught it. And then suddenly to find the whole thing recorded in scripture, unfolding in the individual, that God in wove the whole drama in man, and then in weaves it in and all these characters become personified and there they are. It is profound. I just recorded a video yesterday. I can't think of the name right now. I'm going to make a separate video on this. But in that video I saw an unfolding of this in myself, of these mystical experiences. I'm going to make a separate video on the point. But basically I won the race. What were they? Excuse me? Fought the fight. Won the fight, was in the race. Won the race, right. And also the newborn child and all Within a matter of. I think it was six weeks in the beginning of 2024. But I'm going to make a separate video on this. I'm bringing that information together. But I just revealed that in the previous video I recorded before this, which will be in the same time output. If you're watching these in order, if you're watching all these videos, you'll see that one. And it's very profound as these mystical experiences unfold in you. And sometimes you don't even know what they are. You just chalk them up, you record them, you write them down, you share them with another person. Then later something unveils, like it did in that session, in that lecture. As I was reading it, I realized, oh, that's what happened to me. You just don't know where to chalk up these things. You want to write them down or share them or text them or do something with them. So, you know, you have them, you've practiced putting them into the. Into this world, at least speak them to somebody. Because you got to get them out of there and put them out, go over them at least once. So that way they're recorded. So you have a kind of. Your memory gets stronger of it. Now listen to this carefully. It's the fourth chapter of Ephesians, only three verses, the fourth, fifth, and sixth. And the word one is repeated seven times in three verses. Each time it is attached to a noun. The first noun, there is one body. Then comes the next. One spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all, and in all one. Now here in Zechariah, the one next to the end of the Old Testament, blank space. Zechariah comes the 38th book, and this is the 14th chapter, ninth verse. And the Lord will become king over all the earth. On that day, his name won and he won. On that day, the Lord will be one and his name won. As I was just mentioning, I won the fight. W o n is one way to say it, but it's also o n e I 1 in that vision I had, I had gloves up, and I was a champion in the ring, in an actual fighting ring, in one of those three visions I had, and I woke up feeling I'm a champ, I won. But I'm not realizing until now as I read this, I won. O n e on that day, the Lord will be one and his name one. One body, one spirit, one life, one king, one everything, just one. And then you are absorbed into his body because you answer correctly. The greatest thing in the world is love. All you have to remember when you have these mystical experiences. If you're ever queried, what's the greatest thing in the world? Bing, it's love. You know. You already know this now anyway, so it's not hard to answer. You're shaking awake at 3:00 in the morning. You know the answer. The greatest thing in the world is love. And he absorbs you, he incorporates you into his body. And you are He. The body of God you wear. It's your body without loss of identity. So Today there are 3 billion of us in the world. And they project billions to come. I wouldn't care how many billions. We're told in scripture, more than the sands of the sea. And yet the whole vast world and the sands of the sea. How many billions? It would make no difference. Each the one. That's the great mystery. God gives himself to us as though there were no others in the world. Just God and you. Excuse me. And finally the gift is so complete. There's only you. And you wear the divine body. That is God. That is the great mystery. And then we understand the story that is told in the very end of the second of Genesis. For it is all God. It is God who is called man. In that chapter, man must leave everyone and cleave to his wife until they become one flesh. It is God who emptied himself and became man and redeemed man. Became man. Excuse me, became one with man and gave himself to man. That's the story. He gave everything up and became man and redeemed man. So we are told in the great mystics concept, the works of Blake. And those in great eternity who contemplate on death said thus. What seems to be is to those to whom it seems to be even of despair, torment and eternal death. But the divine mercy steps beyond and redeems man in the body of Jesus. Jerusalem, plate 36. You and I and you. Prove it. What seems to be is to those to whom it seems to be. You can assume anything this very moment and rise to the very highest position in the world of Caesar. Or you can go down to the very depth in the world of Caesar. What seems to be is to those to whom it seems to be. And you can't save yourself. No individual can save himself. He is redeemed because David. Excuse me. Because divine mercy steps beyond and redeems man in the body of Jesus. That's the body. But when you are incorporated into the body, you are he. Now you know the second Verse it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears, we shall be like him. First John 3:2. It doesn't yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears, we shall be like him. As he embraces you, you are the very being who embraced you. You are one with God. And no loss of identity, none whatsoever. You dwell upon it. This is God's purpose. Because life has a purpose. Very, very, very, very very very important chapter Hitting between the eyes big time. But within the framework of God's purpose, you are free to be anything you want to be in this world. You can be rich, you can be poor, you can be known, you can be unknown. And you can be anything in this world. If you, if you really believe God's principle and God's principle is very, very simple. Very simple. Whatever you desire, make it known to God and do nothing. That's what you're told. Just do nothing. Sleep this night as though you were the man, the woman you would like to be. Just as though it were true. Have confidence in that assumption. Just as though it were true, just as though it were so. And in a way that no one knows. Because all are incorporated into the one body and all things by Allah divine in one another's being mingle. It will influence every being in this world that can play a part to aid the birth of that assumption. You will see the bridge of incidents and all the automatons will just go to work for you. It just blows your mind. It's like little robots just go to work for you. Because everything is you pushed out. Once you are convinced in the assumption of you are the man or woman you want to be and are. Once you feel that you are it and you're confidently it, you will see the entire world. You take the shape to reflect that fact. If you assume that you are, you name it. And if I can play the part without my consent, I'll play the part without my knowing I am playing the part to aid the birth of that assumption. I'll play the part. Everyone in this world will be used if they can be used and God knows it all. For he blank space, meet it all. All things by Allah divine in one another's being mingle. So I can without anyone asking me. If you desire to assume that you are what you want to be, and if I can be in any way instrumental in aiding the birth of your assumption, you don't need to influence me deliberately and consciously. I will be used and I will be used totally Unaware of the fact that I was used in the birth of your assumption. You have an assumption. You're at Neville's meeting and incidentally, you stay after the meeting and you say to Neville, could you imagine lovingly for me this? That bridge of incidents of you asking Neville in the first place is all part of that. You already assumed you were the man or woman. Neville imagining lovingly for you at the end of the meeting is only a bridge of incidents. You convinced yourself you didn't go to Neville and he bestowed some gift on you. You did it in the first place, then sought Neville at the end of the meeting as if you were getting permission. No, you did it first. You did it first or you wouldn't even have found Neville. You wouldn't have been able to go to the meeting at all if you hadn't done it first. Any of these previous students of Neville did it on their own first, before they even discovered Neville. Neville's only a bridge of incidents. For what you're doing already on the inside, you're coming to these videos. Also, same thing. If you're going through these videos and you're learning and you're incorporating and you're realizing and things are opening, it's because you already are doing it. These are only the bridge of incidents. These are the surfaces. This is the surfaces. These are the shadows of what you have already done, what you're already in the process of. That is the facts, Jack. And I will be used. Totally unaware of the fact that I was used in the birth of your assumption. So you take anyone. Leave them alone. You don't have to take any person and use them. You simply know what you want. You simply know what you want. What you want. And it may not come within the framework of his purpose, but in these short distances, it works anyway. God will adjust it as we're told in the 16th chapter of Proverbs. He has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble. But he tells us in the beginning of that third verse, commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be established. End quote. You commit them to the Lord and your plans will be established. The Lord is here. If you start to work on them yourself, it may be in conflict, but just commit them to the Lord. Well, how would I commit them to the Lord? If tonight I wanted, and I name it without telling you, without asking anyone to help, I would this night see the world as I would see it. Were it true that I am the man that I want to be, I would see My friends seeing me as they would see me were it true. I would see the world as I would see it were it true, from that position. And then I would sleep in the assumption that it is true. And I know from experience it would work. Everything in the world would move and adjust itself to mirror that which I am, assuming that I am. And in the not distant future I would externalize it. I would become it. In my world. I am not in conflict with God. When I commit my work to the Lord. If it's not within his purpose, that's something entirely different. But he'll work it. He'll externalize it. And to show us how he allows it. The 18th chapter of the book of Jeremiah tells us how he allows it. He warns us and he tells the prophet, go and tell them to amend their way and change and turn from their evil doings. Verse 11. But they said, we will not. That's all vain. We will continue in our stubborn evil way. And then God said, you plotted and planned the consequences of their acts. He isn't going to hurt. Their concepts produce what appear to God's to be God's plan and the consequence of their behavior. God doesn't hurt, he'd be hurting himself. Because we are all God. It's all God. For he tells me to change my way, to amend my way. But man will not. You read it carefully in Jeremiah 18. Go and tell them what's going to happen if they do not amend their ways. And then man will not do it. In that same wonderful chapter he tells us how you and I should operate in this world. Just like a potter, we take anything in the world and refashion it, and refashion that being in our mind's eye, just as though he or she were as we would desire them to be. Just do it, and believe in the reality of that reshaped being. A man unemployed, see him gainfully employed. A man who is up against it. See, see him freed. A man who can't take, make the grade. See him already on top in your own mind's eye, right here. Just imagine it as so, and then it is done. Don't tell him what you're doing, don't ask his consent, but do it lovingly. Whenever you operate this law lovingly, you are doing it wisely, so you aren't hurting anyone. If you see him as a better person than formerly he appeared to be. And so take any person in this world without their consent, and see them as a noble, glorious being, don't tell them that you've done it. And then be quite satisfied to see them become that being. I'm telling you, man, it works. It works, it works. Just do it. It's going to blow your mind and give full credit to other people. Completely robbing, excuse me. Completely rubbing you out as something that had nothing to do with it. Perfectly alright. And no, I'm sorry, you know God's law, let me repeat. And so take any person in this world without their consent and see them as a noble, glorious being. Don't tell them that you've done it and then be quite satisfied here to see them become that being beautiful and give full credit to other people. Completely rubbing you out as something that had nothing to do with it. Put perfectly all right, you don't need, you don't need the glory over this. It's enough glory to wash that flower. You know God's law. But within the framework of his purpose, these wonderful promises are made in the Old Testament. For he said to David, I'm going to bring forth out of you a son, and I will be His Father. The very end of the book. It didn't happen. It didn't happen. The promise is made to David. Where is His Son who could reveal me as God the Father? And no one understands it. I said it to this minister, a very prominent minister right here in this area, the head of his. His very, very large following running, so they tell me, to over a million. And when I quoted the second Psalm to him to tell him who David was, he confessed he never saw it in that light. In the second psalm, addressed only to David, Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee, verse 7, that is established in the beginning. But man never saw it, because as a speaker, I was misinformed. I was told that Jesus was God's Son. I believed it. I was raised in that environment as an Episcopalian. And I did not know, even though I read it myself, that he was God the Father. I always thought he was the Son. And yet He. He tells the whole vast world, who will receive His Word? When you see me, you see the Father, but no one believes. Doesn't make sense. How can the Father condense himself, empty himself and become a man, a simple man as you? How could you and I, plus individuals in billions in the world, occupy one body and that body is our body. It doesn't make sense. How can he so give Himself to me, that I am the Father of His Son, and give Himself to you to the same extent that you are the Father, the Son, if you are the Father of God's only begotten Son. And I Am. Are we not one? How could I ever reach unity unless there's a Son to unify us? Only one Son. And if I am the Father of that one Son of God and you are the Father, every being in the world is the Father. Are we not one? Can't you see this great mystery unfolding? Where all the people in the world become the only Father of the only Son, not sharing, occupying the one body that is God. And is that one body? Listen to the words. Divine mercy steps beyond and redeems man in the body of Jesus. And that one man we call Jesus the Christ. And you are He. If you see him on the outside, you don't see the right one. The day will come. You are He. You'll just know it. There's going to be a knowing, I promise you. You, you'll just know it. You'll know these words simple. I am He. You'll know these words when you see me, you see the Father. You'll know that it won't be a doubt anymore. There will be no doubt. You'll just know. You will know it. You'll be conscious of it. You'll stand right in his presence. And then the 82nd Psalm is fulfilled. And God has taken his place in the divine council. In the midst of the gods. He holds judgment, and you'll be taken in spirit right into his presence. And he's just as he's described in the book of Daniel. Believe it. Just as Daniel the prophet described the ancient of days. There he stands before you. You don't have to ask who he is. He's infinite love, but infinite love. And then you see an attribute of him, and it's almightiness and it's man. Everything is man. There's nothing but man. And then you see, infinite wisdom is man, but God himself is love. Infinite love. When we are told in the letters of Paul that God is love, and the letters of John that God is love, believe it. They didn't manufacture this. It happened to them. God is love. Infinite love. And you will stand in his presence and he'll embrace you, incorporate you right into his body. And you don't see anyone else. Just you. You are He. And the body of God is your body. So go back to Ephesians. One body. It begins with the word body. One body, one spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God, and Father of us all, who is above all and through all, and in all. 4, 5. And then you will Know what it means? He's blank space. One Only one body, only one spirit, only one hope. So when Paul tells us, as he stands before the king, here I stand in chains, stand on trial for hope in the promise made by God to our fathers. What promise? He promised me himself. He promised to give me himself because he's going to draw from me a child who is his child. If a child comes out of me and it's my child and God makes it his child, so he brings it out of me as son and calls the son his son and then gives it to me as my son, then I wait and wait and wait through the ages and wonder, when is this thing ever going to happen? And I was misinformed until it happened to me. When it happened to me, then I know, then I knew how it happened to everyone. As we're absorbing this lecture, we know those who wrote these words in these letters, in these 66 books. We know it unfolded within them or they wouldn't have written it these particular ways. It's way obvious when Neville shines a light with that certain perspective, now we see how obvious the whole thing really is. It happened to those authors. Some were men, as he said, Paul, John, others that he believes were actually walking the earth. Obviously others are not. He's obviously stated that in so many places. We're not here to discriminate that point. But the point being that the authors had these experiences as you're going to have these experiences. His promise is becoming, I was misinformed until it happened to me. When it happened to me, then I knew how it happened to everyone. And so I tell you, whether you be Christian, Jew or Mohammedan, or you call yourself an atheist, it's going to happen to you. It's the only way in the world that we will ever be unified. And when we are completely unified in one body, it's the body of God. And each will be the Father of God's only begotten Son, the personification of humanity. So in the eighth chapter of the book of Proverbs, he is personified as wisdom, the very first act of God, as you are told in the 22nd verse, and it goes through the 36th verse. God created me in the beginning of his way, the first of his acts of old. Before he brought forth the heavens, before he brought forth the earth, I stood beside him as a little child. Now, scholars are all agreed that this personification in the form of a little child is the personification of wisdom. All right, Christ is defined as the wisdom and the Power of God. And so when Paul writes his letter to the Corinthians, the first chapter of the First Corinthians, he said, christ, the power and wisdom of God. So, all right, I, I would go along with the scholars that the teacher who wrote the eighth chapter of the book of Proverbs meant wisdom, but he personified wisdom as a little child. But I still say the whole vast world of humanity is personified as a youth, just as you're told. And you look right into his face. It represents the whole vast world of humanity, and he's your son, and it's David. And so who would you hurt when every being in the world rolled into one makes one youth, and that youth is your son. Who would you hurt? Who would you rob? Who would you destroy when it's all going into one being, and it's David, a beauty beyond the wildest dream of man. You can't conceive of the beauty of David of biblical fame. What when he symbolize. When he symbolizes and personifies the whole vast world of humanity. And it's all your son. For humanity is the Son of God personified as a single youth. It's told so beautifully in the book of Samuel, if one could only see it. And here is the one. If he succeeds, he will set his father free. And we're all set free by the Son. So if he succeed, succeeds, the promise of God is, I will set his father free. 1st Samuel 17:25 and so the king asks a very simple question. Whose son is that youth? And no one knows. Then he said, inquire, whose son the stripling is? No one knows. So he turns to the youth himself. He said, whose son are you, young man? And he answered, I am the son of your servant, Jesse, the Bethlehemite. 1 Samuel 17:56 well, the word Jesse is any form of the verb to be. In other words, I am the Son of whom I am. I am self begotten. That's what he's telling you. That's exactly what God does to us. God's name is I am. Go tell them I am has sent you. Exodus 3:14. So the Father of David is I am. You starting to see? It comes right back. So when you are embraced and you see him, that's your name. I am. It's all in the Bible. Check me. So you are the being spoken of in Scripture as the one who has been promised this fantastic gift from God. And the gift is the gift of himself. He gives man himself. And there's no way in the world that he can prove to man that he gave himself. Unless there was a Son. For God is God the Father. So to go back to Malachi, the Son honors the Father as the servant honors the Master. If then I am a Father, where is my honor? And then he. And then the book closes and no one could read the stuff. The story other than the blank space unfold in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. For the Old Testament closes on the question, where is my honor? This promise is long overdue. If then I am a Father, where is my honor? Where is my Son? And then comes the unfoldment. Here is your Son. And who believes it? As I said, I'm testing the limits of the rabbis, the priests who can follow the reasoning behind the visions, an actual series of mystical experiences. They won't believe it. How can David be the Son? How can David be Messiah? How can Jesus be the Father? In spite of all the confession? He who sees me sees the Father. And I tell you, there is only one body, one spirit, one hope, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all. No other, only One. And in that day the Lord will be one and His Name one. And you are that one. To prove who you really are, he sends His Son and gives him to you as your Son. Now you believe it. But whether you believe it or not, it is true. And because not a thing that man can do to thwart it, I'll prophesy for you. You're going to have the experience if you oppose him with all your might. You can't thwart God's promise to you with which is to give you Himself. And God is a Father. And he can't give you himself unless he gives his only begotten as your Son. No other way in the world that he can give you Himself unless He gives you His Son. There's only one Father of a Son. If he gives you his only Son, then guess who you are. I am telling you in advance, before it takes place, that when it takes place, you may believe. For I tell you, he gave Himself to me. And although fragile as I am, and wearing out this garment, as all garments wear out, and it can't be too long delayed before it's worn out. I still know the body that I have inherited. There's only one body. And that one body we call Jesus the Christ. It's my body and it's your body. And it's everybody in the world and one, the one body. Man cannot, looking into this fabulous world, believe that God is man and that man is God. But I tell you it is true. Now let us go into the silence. Let's do it. If you're not driving and you're able to just go into the silence with your eyes closed, the door to your closet is now closed. Right now you imagine David calling you father. And you know David is His begotten son, which means I am He. I am one with He. Okay, Good. Question Inaudible answer Blank space. Within the framework of his promise for us, we can be anything we want to be. So take the no. So take a noble dream. Assume that it is true just as though it were true, and relax into it just as though it's true. And then let it work. It works. Question Inaudible blank space. Why Jesus cursed the fig tree. Question mark. My dear, nothing should be barren in this world. Nothing. If I come to a person who says, but I've had this condition so long that no one can help me, and they tell you that you couldn't help me. I went to all the doctors, went to all the psychiatrists, went to all the people in the world, still none could help me. And they're feeling very sorry for themselves. They're in a state. But there isn't a state that man cannot vacate. There isn't a state in this world that a man is in. Whether he did it consciously or unconsciously, fell into it, he either entered it knowingly or unknowingly, but. But he can leave it. As I would leave the city. I am in this city and I love it. But I don't have to remain here forever. I can leave it. So can you. So a city is like a state. If you go into a state, you must bear the fruit of that state and partake of all the experiences while you're in that state. Just remember that you must bear the fruit of the state. The state has its own fruit. So he comes to a tree that doesn't bear. Nothing should be barren in God's world. And so he cursed the tree, the state. That's the state permanent to himself. But man doesn't have to fall into it and remain in it. You pass through it, or not even get into it, excuse me. Or not even go into it and avoid it. There's all the difference in the world between individuals and states that individuals occupy. The fig tree is only symbolical of a state of barrenness. That barrenness need not be of the womb bareness of things in my life that I'm not bearing the fruit that I need to bear to support my family in the order That I would like them to see. Blank space, barren fig tree. So don't accept anything based on the evidence of your senses. Don't unless it's in keeping with what you desire in this world. Big powerful last sentence right there. Don't accept anything based upon the evidence of your senses. Don't unless it's in keeping with what you desire in this world. Remember, there's a lot of noise. Social media noise, TV noise, radio noise, rumor noise, chit chat noise, water cooler noise. If there's a noise in your engine, get to the mechanic. There's also a noise in your engine, get to the mechanic, which is you shut it off. Focus on your desire. If it's in line with keeping with your desire, it's good noise. It's the noise you want. It's in line with you arriving at your desire, your destination. If it's not in line, out off. Question Inaudible no, my dear, I said that within God's framework, you and I are so free. It's just fabulous, fabulously free. Within the framework of his purpose. Men try. This is tongue twister. Men try to thwart his purpose, but he even allows that for a while. And then God makes an adjustment. If I have a tension within a machine, you must release that tension. Well, the world builds tension and then volcanoes, earthquakes and wars, all these are the release of tension. Well, man does it, but God allows it within the framework of his purpose. Well, I said when I first started, it is my desire to get more and more men more and more often to assume a higher level of imagining. For if they do without effort on their part, then things will follow normally and they will fold these higher dreams. In our world today, we have a fear crisis culture. Every morning's paper produces another crisis. If we don't have one, they're going to make one. It's part of the framework. But do you have to buy into it? Do you have to consent to it? Do you have to accept it? Not when you think for yourself. It's crisis after crisis after crisis. You know what this is based on? And I don't think I've shared this one before, but it's called the okay, not okay principle. When I was a teenager, I had some girlfriends. They were neighbors really, but we all had a. There was a group of us guy friends and we had a group of girlfriends and all of our parents were in the same pta, all kind of buddies. And I was at my friend's house and I noticed her. She was my age and her I think it was a younger sister or cousin, and I think maybe even the mom was in the house. And they were watching these stories, soap operas. And I says, what is going on? And every single episode, so and so is screwing so and so's other girlfriends or wives or something, or someone's got a gun. And I was laughing. I was making a joke about it. I remember this very, very specifically. I was laughing. Someone's always got a gun and someone's always screwing the wrong person. And then someone's always trying to get somebody. And it was this. When you it's okay, not okay principle was at work. And it was. And let me stretch another thing. I remember talking to my great aunt and her telling me how she used to watch the stories starting in high school. And I was like, what is that? And later on, when I had a specific kind of training, a sales training per se, we got into what's called the okay, not okay principle. That when someone is feeling more okay when they see someone else obviously not doing okay, that you feel more okay over here. So the idea in that training I had was to make your prospect feel more okay by you going less okay. So if you were to walk into an office, you would drop all your papers and they would go, look at this idiot. So they would go up a notch in their ego and you'd go down, and then they would feel sorry for you and buy from you. That was the concept. But the okay, not okay principle is also at work, obviously, in this crisis after crisis after crisis in the news. Because when you see others who are having troubles and you feel pretty good about yourself, you can go to bed feeling a little bit better. Because down the street, the whole of Los Angeles burned down. And I'm over here in this other section, not that section, So I feel pretty okay with my. So they barrage me and barrage me with crisis and crisis and crisis, and I feel pretty good. He's just not on my doorstep. That's the okay, not okay principle at work in the media blitz. Crisis after crisis after crisis. Boom, bing, bang, burn, constantly. But if you understand what that principle is, then you don't fall for it. You don't need to feel more okay. You already are complete. I am he. I and my father are one. We don't need these games and these shenanigans. That's part of the noise. It's part of the gimmick. If you read the papers, as I do, undoubtedly you do, they'll sell by what you read. On this level, they sell by what you read. On this level. And they simply are stalking themselves on that level. And so it is my hope to get everyone to. Who will come here to more and more adopt a higher level of imagining. Like what I just said. Get out of that. That okay, not okay, principle. You don't need to be in that. It exists. Fine, yes, you used it. You were there. Yes, but we're taking ourselves to a higher level of imagining. And so it's my hope, as Neville says, to get everyone who will come here to more and more adopt a higher level of imagining. What would it be tonight, regardless of favors, if things were as you nobly would love them to be? You don't need favors. You don't need to know somebody. What would it be like if one could only more and more sustain that level of imagining? Then things would follow normally in this world. But if tomorrow morning's paper is more important to us than our imaginal activity, well, then you come right back down with a blank space. And it's day after day after day, the same old thing, one crisis after the other. If you're in that spell, it's totally okay, no big deal. But now you know you can get out of that spell, higher level of imagining. You can see it plotted and planned. If you read the paper carefully, some little blank space goes out and we see they're going to follow through. It's all plotted and planned to keep us in a state of uneasiness, to make us feel that he or they are going to pull us out of it. They cause it in the first place and then they pull us out of it. Tape ends. We know exactly what he's talking about right there. You see it. And boy, oh boy, it's so easy to get cast in that spell. That's not God's spell. We are the creator of the good spell. God's spell. Okay, let's move on to my dreams of this morning. Today's date. What is today's date? I'm recording this on March 11th. Okay, so it's going to come out within a couple days, but boy, oh boy, oh boy. Lucid dreams slash out of bodies. So the dreams first were. A lot of strange work was happening. My cousin Isaac was there. And I don't know much to describe in that whole arena, but there was a lot of activity in this part. And as the session went by, it's starting to fade more and more. And the pieces I can grab now are just that there was work involved, levels, there was an urgency, there was mobility, moving. There was a Lot of full different concepts having to overlay and change and if more pops out, I'll tell you. But the crux after those series of dreams, which there was at least three massive pieces in those dreams, then I move into these three major events. One was the big one and two were smaller. And these were all falling out of the sky. The two first ones seemed to be like parachuting was shooting towards the earth. But then there was this big one, this big one where I was there. I was literally there in a lucid experience. And if you've heard the name, I think it's. I think I want to say the name is Felix Baumgart. Baumgartner, the guy who jumped out of the Red Bull thing near the edge of space, something the highest jump. So I'm literally descending maybe in his mind, I don't know or what he saw. And I could see a lot of land from very, very far away. I think they did this in New Mexico, by the way, over New Mexico. So I am seeing the earth and I am coming down. And I think the other falling experience is I landed okay, but I don't remember the landing. But in this one I'm coming really fast and it's like I could see a lot and then it's just getting, it's not getting this way. It's more like it's getting this way because I'm getting closer and I'm falling and falling. And I've had many of these experiences before where I've flew at the earth very, very fast. Out of body experiences where I flew the earth very fast and there's never a crash. And here I am falling fast and then all of a sudden it's this perfect landing. It's like one time I was at the Grand Prix here in Long beach and they had these Navy SEALs and it was mind blowing. These guys, they get out of the plane and then they have their parachutes and they're drifting like this. Then they take their parachutes like this, this is their legs. And then the parachutes are literally, the parachutes like this. Normally they're like this and their legs are locked together and they're just streaming unbelievable speed towards the earth, towards the racetrack. And you're looking at this going, these guys are friggin incredible. They had, they had smoke off their feet, you know, so the smoke's billowing up. So the parachutes are like this, their legs are interlocked and they're just going super fast down towards, towards the racetrack where I was watching from many Years ago, at least 10, 15 years ago. So my landing as I'm coming to the earth is pretty much what they did. They unlocked legs and then they come streaming through and then they kind of pull those. You know, I'm not a parachutist, so I don't know any of these terms. Excuse me. So they pull and they stop real slow and they just basically just start walking on the ground. I mean, it was like they made it look so matter of fact. And that must have been in my memory because when I came for my landing, no parachute was involved, but I had what appeared to be that same easy landing. Then I just landed on the ground. Mind blowing, full color, full vision. There was three of those falls. This was the big one, the one I'm describing. The other two were other falls. I don't remember where they were except that I was falling quite a bit of distance. Then it was this big one that I was the farthest. And that name Felix was in my mind because of knowing of that in the. In the. That he did this big feat. So there it is. That was this morning's. I hope yours are exploding. Just write them down. If you want to get to. If you want to get into the cycle of remembering your dreams, get a notepad. Keep it next to your bed. Keep a pencil. Get one of these notepads, okay? Get this one of these. Put this right next to your, on your nightstand. Keep it there because that is what instigates your getting ready to write down what you're experiencing. Wake up. Write down anything. Write down. If you see an apple, write the apple. If you see a car, write apple and car. If that's all you get, then the next day you're going to write more. The next day you're going to write more. The more you expect to write something, the more you're going to remember because every night you are dreaming. We're going to get into this in separate videos, but this is how you start to get that pump primed. Also start writing it down, start bringing it out. As you bring the dream out, when you write it down, more of your conscious awareness goes into the dream. As I said before in one of my videos, I think it's the yin and yang symbol. I think that's, that's what it means. It's our night and our day. We're taking the night and bringing it into our day by writing it down. And then what we do is we take our conscious awareness, our mind, and we take that into our dream state. I think in my opinion, that's what the yin and yang symbol represents. That the conscious mind is the white portion with that little black dot. You're taking your conscious mind into that state and then you're bringing that state into this state. You're sharing that. Anyway, we are looking forward to seeing you in the next one.
