Memory - Neville Goddard (06-08-1965) | Full Reading + Commentary

Neville Goddard 1965 Lectures Memory June 8, 1965 I think that most of you know we will be here every Tuesday and Friday until the end of this month. Closing on the 29th, we're off to other points. And today it's been decided that we return sometime late October. But you will know sometime in late October. But every Tuesday and every Friday until the end of this month. Tonight's subject I would title Memory taken from the Book of John. Really taken from the entire Bible, but say from John. For we're received. For we've received the promise that he will send what is described in Scripture as the Holy Spirit who will bring to our remembrance all of the words that were told us in the beginning. Evidently we have forgotten. We've all forgotten what was told us. But having experienced the truth of Scripture, I see that no man who has experienced it can escape the responsibility of telling its message to his fellow men. So I can tell you the story is true. How many of you saw the demonstration of the early bird satellite? I do not know. How many of you saw the demonstration of the early bird satellite? I do not know. I saw it. All of the capitals of the Western world were really together. We heard it in London, Paris, Washington. Blank space. They were all really together, as though they played in concert. If you can imagine just such a state raised to the nth degree of perfection. And you are just as near the storyteller as the camera is to his face. No matter where you sit in the world, you're just as near to the storyteller as that camera is before his face. So in the Bible, the storyteller is God. And he tells the story to all of us. Now think not in terms of just the 3 billion who exist just now, but think in terms of all of the generations of men, past, present and future, all coexisting in what I would call a new tense, the mystic tense. Not just the past or the present or the future. Bring them all together into the new tense, the mystic tense. And he tells us the story. He tells us his plan and the purpose behind the plan and the promise, the law that will sustain us while we go on a journey. Then, having told us everything, he tells us to bring it to pass. He has to die. He has to disappear. These are the words he used in the 14th chapter of the Book of John. He said, I will pray the Father, and he will send you another comforter who will be with you forever. Even the spirit, Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees him nor knows Him. But you know him, because he dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you desolate. I will come to you yet a little while, and the world will see Me no more. But you will see Me because I live. You will live also in that day. This is eschatology. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in Me, and I in you in that day. Verses 15 to 20 but the journey, this long, long journey that seems so long and so horrible and so disordered, he shows us there is order in the seeming chaos. The end is already predetermined. And in that end you will know that I am in my Father, and you in Me, and I in you. Now he tells us I am the Father. Just imagine just such a story being told to all of us, everyone present, all chosen in him before the world was. And then he tells us in detail, the entire plan. And he tells us when we start, we will be incarnated tragedy. Excuse me. And when. And tells us when we start, we will be the incarnated tragedy and glory. But we must not forget the glory in this tragedy or in the tragedy. And try to remember that the good things, that the good tithings are the tithings of the victory of God. That is, that is assured. Try to remember the good tithings and don't be completely lost in the tragedy. It will be a tragedy, but try to remember the glory in the tragedy. Then he'll bring to our remembrance in this last day the truth of all that he said. Now he said, the Holy Spirit will come. He'll teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Every word will be true. Now to take it and analyze it. He equates the Holy Spirit with the Spirit of truth. In the same chapter he said, I am the truth. So he tells you, he is the Holy Spirit. He is the comforter. For he equates the comforter with the Holy Spirit. So what is this other comforter? I will pray the Father, and He will send you another comforter. He Me, who will be with you forever. It's simply that the visible presence of the storyteller departs. And in departing he takes up residence in us and becomes to us an invisible being. And we do not know him because we cannot see Him. Because I can't see him, I say I don't. Excuse me. Because I can't see Him. I say, I don't know Him. He departs from me as a visible presence, as he enters me as the invisible reality, my own wonderful human imagination. That's he, that's the comforter. That's the spirit of truth. That is Christ Jesus. Enters me and then starts this long, wonderful journey that's full of tragedy. Enters me, then starts this long, wonderful journey that's full of tragedy. And only at the very end will he reveal himself to me. He said, the world will not see me yet a little while and the world will not see me. But you will see me then. In that day you will know. How will I know? You will know that I am in my Father and that I am in you and you in Me. Only at the very end will I know that the Father told the story and became me and that I am the Father. No power in the world can reveal me to myself as the father, save a child. As father, save a child. No power in the world can reveal me to myself as father, save a child. So that was set up in the very beginning, the only child that could ever reveal me as the Father. It comes only at the very end, when the drama, as far as the individual is concerned, is over. When it is over, this comes rapidly into consciousness, one after the other, the whole series. At the very end, he departs into a new heaven. As we are told in the old I now create a new heaven and a new world. And the former things will not be remembered or called into mind anymore. I will blot out all of your shortcomings, all of your transgressions, all of your sins. Nothing will be remembered. It's a new world, a new creation. 2nd Corinthians 5:17. So you will not carry this horrible tragedy with you. The whole thing will be wiped out at the very end, and you will be an entirely different being. And who will you be? God the Father. This is the story as told in scripture. Can man believe it? We are told that you will forget it. But in the end, he will come who has been with you at all the time. He will come who has been with you all the time. He'll come, and he'll be with you forever, never to leave you. And he will lead you gradually into all knowledge, into everything. There is nothing he doesn't know. For he is the storyteller. He is God the Father. Then he enters man and reveals in man everything in the world. Then in the end, he brings back to man the memory of being one. Then in the end, he brings back to man the memory of the being who spoke, who vanished from sight, but took up residence in men and fused with men until they became one. One man. And that man is God. So when you tell anyone today, rather I would say anyone, because many of you here wouldn't smile at it or think me insane. But I've had the experience with many when you. I've had the experience with many when you tell them that you actually stood in the presence of the risen Christ and talked to him and communed with him, and was embraced by him and fused with him and became one with the risen Christ. They say, how can an intelligent person like that man be so naive? I've heard the remarks at a dinner party, at a cocktail party. How could he be so naive? Can he make a living? Can the man afford even to pay rent? That he could actually tell me, in the year 1965, in the 20th century, that he stood in the presence of the risen Christ and communed. And really, it is to them a shock of shocks that you seem to be intelligent, you seem to be a likable person. But don't ask me in this 20th century to believe that nonsense that. That myth. I stand here before you to tell you every word is true, but it doesn't unfold itself, and memory does not return until the end. You are told you will go into the world and you will completely forget all that I have told you and. And you'll go astray, and you'll make idols and you'll worship idols and you'll call them the causes of good fortune in your world or the misfortune in your world. You will completely forget me. But he tells you, I am the Lord beside me. There is no God. I know not any. I will now disappear, become invisible to you. Can't see me because I am in you. I'm not even near. For nearness implies separation. So I'm not even near. I become you. In becoming man, he can't be near man. He is man and walks in man as man's own wonderful human imagination. So when man makes the statement, I am, that's he. There is no other God there. Wonderful. I am, that's God. Now, what else did he tell us in the beginning? He told me that as I start on my journey, whatever I dare to desire, believing that I have it, I will have it. Mark 11:24. Whatever I desire, believing that I have, I will have. Now put it to the test. He tells you, come, test me and see if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing so great there is not room enough on earth to receive it. Test me and see. Do you not realize that I am in the. Unless, of course, you fail to meet the test. Malachi 3, 10, 2 Corinthians 13, 5. Well, how would I, this night, take that test? First of all, I must desire whatever you desire. Believe that you have received it and you will. So I start with desire. I must want something. Well, if I had it, how would I see the world? Would I see it as I saw it prior to the desire? No, certainly not. If I desire this night to be in San Francisco, really desire to be there, would I sleep this night seeing San Francisco to the north of me, say, 500 miles? How would I. If I desired and believed I have received what I have desired, would I not sleep as though I slept in San Francisco? And if I thought of would be all around me and under me. If I thought of Los Angeles, I would see it to the south of me, 500 miles. That's what I'm taught to do in the word of God. When I know what I want, believe that I have received it, and I will. But I can't desire something and believe I've received it and still think of it in the way I thought of it when I desired it. For now, desire is fulfilled. It's been realized. So if I apply it in this light, I put him to the test. So that's what I'm told to do. Test me and see if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing so great there isn't room on earth to receive it. But if one really desires, he can do it. I read a story this past week of a Canadian Lord Thompson, I think was his name. He's supposed to be the richest blank space in the world. He himself does not know his multiple millions. This was an interview with a very intelligent reporter. And I'll tell you, I read it in the Times. He had no money. A very poor boy. Started off behind the eight ball, but desired with all of his heart, money. He wanted money. Money and still more money. He's now 70 years old. And so he didn't go into the details of how he made money, but he has Multiple millions, over 250 publications, newspapers in our land, here in Canada, in England, Europe, all over the world, with his magazines as well. He said to the reporter, or the reporter said to him, now you are a lord. Do you like being a peer? He said, I love it. You like being very rich? Tremendously so. Exclamation point. He said, now. He said, I have great blessings in this world. I have three children. My Wife. D. Di. Excuse me, Di. Di. I have two daughters and a son. And they all have multiple million. My grandchildren each have multiple millions. But I'll tell you what runs. But I'll tell you what runs in the family. My granddaughter was at the club and she called her mother, my daughter and said, stop by the club and pick me up, because I have. I haven't transportation. My car is out of order. The mother suggested to the daughter, well, take a taxi. And she replied with all of her millions. That costs too much. And that amused the grandfather. He's 70 and he still wants to make more millions. He said he made more between 65 and 70 than he did in his 65 years. But he has. He thinks he has 10 more years. So he hopes to make more in the next 10 years than he did between 65 and 70. Nothing like having a nice strong desire. All right, he can do it if he wants to. May I tell you, he can do it if he has that sort of hunger. You must want. In this world, desire is the mainspring of action. Put that on a three by five and put it up where you can see it and repeat it and repeat it and repeat it and repeat it. Desire is the mainspring of action. As the teacher Seth said, desire isn't going away. You cannot get rid of it. You can try and become a. I don't even care about the religious titles or names, but a person who's like a monk and decides they're going to not desire anything. Try as you may, try as you might, it ain't going away. It will never disappear. Not as long as you are in consciousness and you're always in consciousness. Desire is always. It's the mainspring of action. It's never going to go out like a flame. It's never, ever, ever going to stop. It can't be stopped. The whole purpose of being in this reality is to want as he just said you must want. In this world. Desire is the mainspring of action. God speaks to man. God speaks to man through the language of desire. The day will come to every child born of woman when the hunger will not be for money. It will not be for fame. He has his fame. He's Lord Thompson, honored all over the world by those who honor people who are wealthy. But the day will come when I do not know that God will send him. Excuse me. That God will send upon him a hunger, a famine. It will not be a famine for bread nor and not a thirst for water, but for the hearing of the word of God. Amos 8, 11. Not a thing in this world can satisfy that kind of hunger. But an experience of God. So when that comes upon you, it's a desire, it's a hunger. Desire is hunger when it comes. There is no temptation in this world that could divert you even for a moment. Couldn't when you have that hunger for God that only the experience of God can satisfy. No bait in this world is tempting. Recognition by the world, fame, great wisdom, as the world would call it. No. For in the end, when this hunger comes, you are destined to awaken as God. And as I've said many times that that hunger hit me January 1, 2022. Hasn't stopped. When it hits you and you're lucky enough to find Neville and to have Neville, you're in a good place, man. This is about the best education you could ask for, in my humble opinion. Unbelievable. When that hunger hit you. This is the cleanest version I have ever found of the purple purity of it, Period. So simple, so direct, so honest. What man could instruct you all of the wisdom of the world, we're told in Corinthians is as foolishness in the eyes of God. For in the end, not one thing that the wise man now sees and believes to be true will be true. Not one. Just think about that. This morning's paper brought out the new theory. They change it every year. It used to be that the Earth and the whole vast world of ours took billions of years to grow gradually and is receding. The new theory today goes back to what they had 20 years ago. It's all a bang. It came into being by a bang. A solid bang. One moment and another kind of theory and all this will play into nothing. When the spirit of truth comes upon man and leads him to truth. All that stuff doesn't have any value for me personally. All that stuff never had value. As I said in the previous video. I just heard of myself just reviewing a video and I talked about really not liking history class in college. It was just bored me to tears. And I was talking to my wife the other day and I told her about when I was taking City College classes. When I first joined the Navy and I was going to College of Alameda. It was a little city college right there. Right where I was stationed on my ship. They had a college adjoining. So I started taking psychology classes. You look at my 9th grade yearbook and it says, what do you want to be when you get older? I think it's either it says a psychiatrist or a psychologist. One of the two. But all of this work is the same line of it. But not on that side. It's on this more spiritual side. I told my wife I started taking psychology classes as a major of interest when I went to City College. Well, they started teaching me about this guy named F R A U D. And I'm like, no way. You know who I'm talking about. I don't need to say his name. It struck me that the subject of psychology is based on one man. That made no sense off the bat. Off the bat it made no sense. There's no way this wonderful concept called psychology could be based on one man's opinion or attitude. But that's exactly what they started shoveling at me the very first class, Class 1, to go into this major and get a degree in that subject. And I'm like, no way. I am out of here. This doesn't make any. Something just told me, no, absolutely not. I don't buy it. I'm not gonna buy it. I'm out. So then what I did was I dropped that class and I started taking general English and math and all these other subjects just to get all that stuff satisfied as I was going through my college classes. But I was reminding my wife about that whole subject. And it's funny, there's other light that has come onto the surface of that man that that subject is based on. And it's not pretty stuff. It is not pretty stuff. But it's like, wow, boy, the Spidey senses when they stand up for you and they're right. Over the years, you're like, yep, long story short, push all that academic stuff out to the side and come over here to the spiritual center of it. And you find Neville. And you're at the spiritual center because he's delivering to you the concept that what you are is him. The motivations you have inside of you, the desires you have inside of you, this whole wonderful use of the law, all that is him. He's been in you. Kind of like hiding, waiting for his moment, paying attention to your heart. What is it you say and do in your life with your heart? He hears your life. He hears your heart. Blessed are the pure in heart once that awakens. That's because your heart has been on that solid course, not that deviant course. How. How could I tell anyone to persuade that individual that the day will come. You will taste of the power of the age to be before you enter it. Here is a tasting of that power. You come upon a scene just like this. You are in spirit, no one sees you. But you are more real to yourself than anyone that's visible to you. They're all within range of your sight, but they're not as real as you feel yourself to be. And you are invisible to them. You know, and there is no uncertainty as to this knowledge that if you now arrest within yourself a certain activity that you'll feel everyone here would freeze, everyone would stand still and they couldn't move. You do it. You arrest within your own imagination this activity. A waitress walking. Walk not. And the bird flying. Flew not. And. And the diners dined. Dine not. And every being froze. And then you examine them. And they could be made of marble or clay, but they were dead. The life that seems so independent of your perception of them isn't there at all. The life was all in you. In an activity of your own wonderful human imagination. It wasn't there at all. I just heard a lecture this morning. Live in the end. I'll ask questions before I go to sleep and I'll direct them at Neville sometimes. And that's what I did last night. And I woke up and the answer immediately in my head was live in the end. And so I put the lecture on. And the very end of the lecture is that exact thing right there. When he arrested within himself the activity on the outside. Proof positive. Everything is. You pushed out. You go back into the scripture. Does it not support it? Yes, the scripture supports it. In the fifth chapter of John. As the Father has life in himself and so he gives the son to have life in himself. Also verse 26. That the whole vast world is simply animated bodies. Remember? Animated from you they are living souls, but not life giving spirits. So I tasted that night of the power of being a life giving spirit. For I arrested the activity that I saw and it arrested everything, stood still. Then I released it in me and all moved on. The bird continued to fly when I released it. The waitress walking, she continued to walk to serve the diners and the diners whose actions I arrested when I released it. They continued to dine. Everyone was dead. Everyone was frozen. So I would say to these great scientists today, it isn't a bang and it isn't any of this expansion that the other scientists who oppose it believe. I go back to the one who I quoted earlier. Hear the voice of the bard who present past and future sees whose ears have heard the holy word that walked among the ancient trees here. He sees everything as one, all standing still. And this is what he Eternity exists and all things in eternity Independent of creation, which was an act of mercy, everything in the world exists. And creation is an act of mercy. That man didn't come out of the swamps, as evolutionists teach. The birds were not once some little wiggly thing in the swamp. It wasn't. It always was. The bird building its nest. It was ever part of the eternal structure of the universe. And then the story. And then the storyteller decides on a new creation, something entirely different, and he fragments himself and talks to himself. And here we find the one God taking on multiple aspects of himself, called the Elohim. The Elohim is a plural word, so one being talking to himself, all in communion with self. And then this personified one disappears. But now it is in the entire vast aspect of its own being and passes through what the storyteller told. That is the eternal story. And you come out at the end. When you come out at the end, all that you. All that I told you in the beginning, said he, that would be done to me, you will know, because it will be done to you, for I am in you. Therefore it was done to me, for I am the life of you. So everything I tell you in the story, that will be done to me, like dying and shedding my blood for all it's done to you, because I am in you. And so he becomes man, that man may become God. So this wonderful story was told us in the beginning, and now I've told you, said he, before it takes place, that when it does take place, you may believe. John 13:19. So everything was told, not 2,000 years ago, everything was told at the beginning of the journey. It's still being told as aspects of his infinite being begin the journey. And the journey is going on and going on to the very end. When the end comes, in the true sense of the Word, all are gathered together, one by one, into one man. And that one man is God. So I say I stood in the presence of the risen Christ, and it's man. He's infinite love. May I tell you, I felt no other emotion in his presence. Nothing but love. Infinite love. The simple question asked and the simple answer given prompted an embrace. And he embraced me, and I fused with the body of the risen Christ. So I tell you it's true. The story is true. So let the whole vast world laugh at it. They can't stop it. They can't turn it aside. They can't stop the unfolding order. So no matter what threats we have in the world today, God, and God alone, is actually controlling the destiny of Man. The outcome is predetermined. No one's going to alter it. And the outcome is to awaken as God. And let me tell you, man, is there enough, Is there enough news to make you in fear of this, that and the other all together at the same time, or one at a time in a certain sequence? All of it is hooey. It's horse dribble. All of it is nonsense. It is just not worth your time or attention. No matter what threats we have in the world today, God, and God alone is actually controlling the destiny of man. The outcome is predetermined. No one's going to alter it. And the outcome is to awaken as God. I get comments on here on the channel. You know, we talk about throwing seed, not the pearls of wisdom before swine, but some seed falls on fertile ground. And that's wonderful. And some of you who are still here from the beginning, you're fertile ground. The jet of truth has found its way to you through me, through Sylvia, through Neville, through Dr. Hugh Lynn, through these wonderful teachers. This jet of truth you've called upon, and you have found it. So you're still here from the beginning. Wonderful. There are those who will come across my shorts or my videos and leave some cuss words or leave some rejection words, whatever. They're not fertile ground. It's that simple. It really is that simple. I have to laugh sometimes. I see some people, once they cross the cussing line, I just, you know, remove them. But if they're like, some people do struggle to accept this knowledge, but they want to accept it. You can tell. You can tell when someone's like, what did Neville say? When people, the ones that refused him the most, they turn out to be his best students. Then there are the ones who are like, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, yeah, I like this. They never show up again. Come to one lecture of Neville's and they would. They would be into it, then they would never show up again. The ones who would come and say, no, no, I don't believe you. And then they'd just challenge him or test them or whatever. They would become his best students. So I understand the concept. It's not easy to accept all of this information literally, both literally or figuratively. But a part of you is calling for it. That part that wants to awaken is calling for it, even though the surface you is like, no, I can't believe that. College didn't say that. High school didn't say that. My parents didn't say that. How the hell can you say that so I understand all of these. It's the whole concept. Forgive them, for they know not what they do. It's the truth of it. That's the truth of it. But the inner truth of each of us is calling for that awakening. He made us in his image so we would become Him. He became us forgot so that we would awaken and remember. And it is that simple. So we're in the throes of that Wonderful, wonderful throws of that. So I don't begrudge anybody with their anger or sometimes some negative comments. I know they're just not ready. I get it. This is the way it works. But all are welcome. Now we are told in the 78th Psalm, I will open my mouth in a parable and utter dark sayings of old. Verse 2. Then the Psalmist repeats the entire history of Israel. All the wonders of God, the glory of God, the might of God, everything. It's a long Psalm, 72 verses when it comes to almost the end. The 65th verse it is said, and the Lord awoke as from sleep. The whole thing took place in the grand dream of God. And the Lord awoke as from sleep, and then scattered and routed all of his enemies. Then he chose Judah and chose David, and then he brought him from the flocks. And the psalm comes to its glorious end. He chose David. That's the Son who will come at the end to reveal you as God the Father. And he said unto me in the second psalm, thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee. Verse 7. These words are spoken to David. So in the end you will realize who Jesus Christ really is. And he tells us, but who? Who will believe it? He is God, the Father. When you see me, you see the Father. How then can you say, show us the Father? Philip wants to see the Father. He said, I have been with you so long, and yet you do not know me. Philip, he who sees me has seen the Father. John 14:9 Then how did David appear in the picture? Have we any contact between the two? They didn't. It is told us, or the question is asked, what do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he? Well, they could have said Joseph. They could have said Mary. They could have said something else. No, the answer comes back, the Son of David. Then he makes the statement, why then did David in the Spirit call him Lord? If David thus calls him Lord, how can he be David's son? Matthew 22:42 the word Lord is Adonoi means my Father. It was always used by a son of his Father. He always referred to his Father as my Lord. So here we get the confession that David called him my Father. The day will come, David will call you you my Father. When David calls you my Father, Scripture is fulfilled. You come to the very end. And it was the Holy Spirit who took you through all these things and led you into all knowledge, all wisdom, and then brought you to the. To your remembrance. Everything that Christ the Father said to you before you started the journey, so he succeeded in his purpose to give you Himself. For that's the purpose of God, to so give Himself to you that there are not two, but one. Then we go back to the beginning of the Bible, the second chapter of Genesis. A man must leave all and cleave to his wife until they become one. One flesh, verse 24. So we are then considered the emanation, this fragmented being. This is the emanation of God. And he must cleave to you his emanation, who really? Who is really his wife, until you become one flesh, not two. So this is the whole wonderful story as told in Scripture. Then you read, your maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is his name. Isaiah 54, 5. So to feel that he so loved me, this fragmented being loved me individually. Loved you individually. You're so unique in his love that he cleaves to you. And there aren't two of you, just one. You are He. You become God. For you wear the name of your Maker and your and his name is I am. And because he is your husband and he is Father, there must be a son to bear witness of that position called Father. So he addresses him as Father, claims himself to be Father, and the only one that can reveal you as God the Father is David, of biblical fame. So the story of David, it's so far forgotten that when rabbis and priests and ministers talk about it today, they see him as a being who lived a thousand years B.C. no, his mission is spiritual. It's not historical at all. So look upon the Old Testament as sacred memory and the new as sacred reality. The same memory, but now brought into a reality where a man within himself experiences it. It's now reality. But the whole Old Testament is only memory. The story that was told us before we started the journey, it's sacred memory. And then man goes through the journey. At the end of the journey, he experiences it and now becomes sacred reality. And that's the New Testament. So here I tell you, as one who has experienced it, put all your hope in the truth of this wonderful story. In the meanwhile, while you live in the world of Caesar. Apply the law, apply it wisely. Don't let anyone tell you you shouldn't want a home or. Or a suit or a better job or more money. All of this is part of the play. But you must want it. And when you really want it, find out what to do to really get it. You hit no one over the head to get it. You hurt no one. You simply assume that you are already the one you would like to be. Assuming that you are what you would like to be. You sleep in that assumption as though it were true. Sleeping in the assumption that I am the man I want to be. I reshuffle my world and make it reflect this change of attitude in me. For a man, by the changing of his internal attitudes towards life, can change the outer aspects of his life and make them respond and conform to this change. To this change. If it is a sustained change. Sustained change. I don't mean some little change and then 1 second later go back to my old self. I mean a radical change that I sustain. If I want to be other than what I seem to be, let me know what I really want to be and hunger for it. And then dare to assume that I am it. Well, how will I know that I've really succeeded that very moment that I've assumed it? Think of my friends. Wouldn't they see me were I not that person? Were I that person? They would not see me. Or they going to see me in my former light. Or are they going to see me in my former light? Let me repeat this. Well, how will I know that I've really succeeded that very moment that I've assumed it? Think of my friends. Wouldn't they see me were I not that person? Were I that person? Wouldn't they not see me? Would they not see me? Or are they going to see me in my former light? If they see me in my former light, well then I haven't changed. I must let them see me as they would see me were it true. And so fall asleep just seeing the faces of your friends, all seeing you as the transformed person that you really are and wait for comes into your world. You can't stop it if you are faithful to your assumption. No man in the world can stop it. Others can't stop it. All I ask anyone blank space is to try it. Just try it. And after you try that and you become hungry for something else, try it for that and try it for others. Until that moment in time when you're coming to the end of the journey and your Hunger changes. Then you get that hunger for an experience of God that only an experience of God can satisfy. When you have it, you're at the end of this age and you enter an entirely different age, not related whatsoever to anything here. It's between, well, you might say the butterfly and the caterpillar. You wouldn't think that one came out of the other. So what is about to come out of man, which is God in glory, is housed in this incarnated, limited garments of flesh and blood. For when it comes out, you are tuned to an entirely different world. And in the end, you and I will know we really are one. That I am in my father, and my father and I are one, and I am in you, and you are in me. In the end, everyone was brought back but as one, magnified beyond the wildest dream. That was the reason for the story. So he leaves the world just as it is, and then tomorrow resets the stage for an even greater adventure. And so it isn't once and for all that we come out as God. No, he's a creative God. He will conceive an even more fantastic dream and then tell the story to himself again. Not replay this, a new story. He's a creator. And then he'll bring himself out beyond what he was when he conceived the new play. So Tennyson could say in his poem, be patient. The playwright will show us in some fifth act what this wild drama means. Oh, boy. Well, here, this is in four acts. He'll show us in a fifth act. So don't be afraid, because you're coming out of this whole, vast, horrible dream as Jesus Christ, where everything is subject to your imaginative power, only to find you are desiring once more to transcend that state, glorious as it is. And you will conceive a still more wonderful play and tell it. And we'll all be present because we are the teller and the ones hearing it. Only one God. That's why it's called the greatest of all commandments. Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is One Lord. Deuteronomy 6, 4. Don't forget it. Hear, O Israel. Exclamation point. The Lord our God is one Lord. Ten Commandments. Deuteronomy 6, 4. Don't forget it. Put everything into that one grand commandment. There's only one God. I am the Lord, said he. The Lord, your God. And besides me, there is no God. I know not any. So when you take this into your dream, this night, tonight, if you're desirous of something other than what you have here. Assume it. Assume that you are the lady, that you are the gentleman that you want to be. I don't care what it is. The promise is completely open, wide open. It does not say in this promise, but you can read it in the 11th chapter, 24th verse of the book of Mark. It doesn't say that it need be good for you. It doesn't say that the priesthoods of the world should sanction it, that you should tell them no. Do you desire it? Whatsoever you desire, believe you have received and you will. That's the word of God. So when you go to bed tonight, you want something good for a friend. How would you see them if they had it? Well then mentally persuade yourself that they have it and don't raise a finger to make it so. See them as having it. See everyone as the. As the one that you want them to be and just go to sleep as though it were true. Until the day comes when the hunger moves you from these things and then you awake as from asleep. Then you will know what it is that he shouted as a strong man filled with wine. When he spoke, he was taking it all along, the wine and the bread. And he was eating the body, drinking the blood of his own being. In the end he woke from his own self imposed dream. And then all the enemies would love him. Blank space. God and God alone. So believe me, when I tell you the story is true. I have experienced it. The story of Jesus Christ as told in the Gospels is a true story, but not as its time in the world. That's a big, big part right there. That's the most difficult thing. If you're a fish that likes to swim behind the school of fish, then this isn't for you. If you're a black sheep and not a sheep that follows, then this is for you. You already know that though the story of Jesus Christ as told in the Gospels is a true story and but not as it's taught in the world, it happens to the individual. Everyone must experience Scripture. So we're told. Scripture must be experienced in me. Really, that's what he's telling us. This Scripture must be fulfilled in me. That's what he said. Then, beginning with Moses and the law and all the prophets and all the Psalms, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures and the things concerning himself. Luke 24:27. For he said, Moses wrote only about me. In the volume of the book, it is all about me. Psalms 47. So the whole vast book is all about man. And the whole of Scripture must Be experienced by the individual. When it's experienced by him, he is fulfilled and. And made real all of the wonderful promises of God. That which was only sacred memory which he forgot. In the meanwhile he suffered from amnesia. Then memory returned. Because the Holy Spirit will bring back to your remembrance all these things that I've said. Do you know what the word tomb in Greek means? The place of remembrance. That's what it means. It's a cenotaph. The place of remembrance. The word tomb. And so he was put in a tomb. Now, where is the tomb on Golgotha? That's where he's crucified. And Golgotha means skull. So you're. So your wonderful skull is where he's buried. And there is where the remembrance returns. All things return to that tomb which is called the place or the sign of remembrance. Gradually, all things come here. So Blake could say in confidence, all that you behold, though it appears without it is within in your own wonderful human imagination, of which this world of mortality is but a shadow. So you will know. So you will actually know. It is all in you. I dwell in them, they dwell in me. And we are one. And you will say that in that moment I am this one. For all will be in you. Now let us go into the silence. Don't forget we're going to bring our breathing in three big rhythms. Inhalation. Excuse me. And on the third inhalation, it's like we're going to snap our. Snap our pitcher. Here comes the third one. Inhalation all the way. And make it come to an apex. Snap that picture. Now, if there's anyone present who would like to be on the mailing list and is not, may we have your name and address? We do not use this list for any purpose other than to notify you when we're in town and when we're lecturing. If you would like to receive a notice when we're open in October, I think the date is the 19th of October. That's the day we take an ad in the paper. But not everyone reads the paper. If you would like to be notified, may we have your name and address? You will find cards and pencils on the desk. Now, are there any questions, please? So he's trying to tell everybody we don't spam. Question. When. Excuse me. What would be the reason for a master to say, I'll meet you at the man's level? Answer, I'll meet you at the man's level. A master to say that? Well, that's not Scripture. There are numberless isms in the world. Question no, this is really a master from India. Blank space. Answer. Then just turn your back. Don't believe in any master. In this world, there's only one master. And that one master is your own wonderful human imagination. When men put on all their palaver, all their terms and try to make me feel that they are spiritual. Try to make me feel they are spiritual. They are important. I. Well, I have other words for it. I have no master. There's only one master. The master is God. And God became you. So when you say I am, that's God. All this business about believing this one is holy and that one is sacred and so forth, forget it. Just completely forget it. Exclamation point. That's their little business. If they can pull the wool over your eyes and make you feel that they are more holy than you are well, then to that extent they'll get your dollar and you'll just get well. Question Inaudible no, it's one thing. Blank space. I can see deceitful dentists, deceitful doctors, deceitful bankers, deceitful anything. But in this work, nothing drives me more insane than one in this work being deceitful. I can tolerate deceit in almost every profession in this world and outside of my own. I can't stand it when someone is supposed to tell the truth as it has been revealed to him. So he claims, and puts holiness on it. No, there aren't any masters. When someone comes to me and tells me he's some holy person, I run in the opposite direction. And that's exactly what Seth said. Seth, Jane Roberts, Robert Butts, Seth the teacher said the same exact thing. Someone tries to tell you that they are in authority over you run the other way. There is no authority but self. And that's the way Seth taught it. That's exactly the way Neville's teaching it. There's only one authority. Your own wonderful human imagination is the only master. There's only one master. That's Lord, that's God, that's all that is. It doesn't matter the name here, that equals your own wonderful human imagination. Somebody out here is trying to tell you they're a master. The master's right here, not out here. When someone comes to me and tells me he's some holy person, I run in the opposite direction. Holy what? There's only one holiness, that's God. He said, why call blank space good? There's only one good. It is your father. And so he became you. So don't go looking for any holy man in this world. It is far, far better for all of us if we are more frequently reminded than being informed. There are so many informers in this world. Misinformers. Let us be reminded of God's word. And every time I'm reminded, I get a lift. You can either remind yourself by reading the book or simply try to remember his promise, his law, his glorious word. It's all in the Bible, and the cheapest book in the world, really. You can get so much for a couple dollars. 66 books in one. If you can't afford to buy it, you go to some society and they will say, yes, I'll give you one blank space. 66 books all bound in one. And then the greatest book in the world, exclamation point. It's eternal. It will never fail. Question. Well, thank you for the information. Answer. Right. Thank you. Any other questions, please? Yes, ma'. Am. Question. You said blank space. That all these things are predetermined, that we are living in Caesar's world. Now is the horror and the bombing and the shooting and killing, is this all Caesar's world? Good. Question. That's during the breakout of Vietnam, if you remember. 1965. Answer. That is not determined, but it is allowed. And God's will for man is advanced even by the cruel surgery of war. We are told in the 16th chapter of the book of Proverbs that he made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble. Verse 4. Now we are told in the 10th chapter of the book of Isaiah that behold the Assyrian. The rod of my anger and the staff in his hand is my indignation. Verse 5. I'll use him. The rod of my anger and the staff in his hand is my indignation. And so he has to correct. If you take all of the imaginations of men and they're all misused, well, all of a sudden there are pressures that must be released. And the releasing of these pressures will be volcanoes, would be, hurricanes would be earthquakes to release the pressure. But you aren't going to destroy the scenery. You aren't going to smash this earth. And it's such a tiny little thing, this thing called earth, and yet the whole vast galaxy and galaxies are all contained within our imagination. As someone so wisely said, only the imagination of man is vast enough to contain the immensity of space. Sir Isaac Newton asked the question, could man go forth where his imagination has never walked before? The answer is no. And boy, oh boy, do they like putting cartoons on TV. Or YouTube, whatever of. This is supposed to be space. This is supposed to be a galaxy. This is supposed to be all cartoons. Man. Only the imagination of man is vast enough to contain the immensity of space. And since that's true, then you make these cartoons to then fire that imagination. But if you're not using your imagination, someone else is. Remember that. So in the beginning, this whole thing was told us by the great storyteller. And we followed the whole vast drama in our imagination so we couldn't reach any place. Before I came out tonight, I saw the pictures of the man in space. And take him in space, you also take the Earth. Why? The little earth looks like about this big. You saw so much of it and it was so little from that height. Suppose you went higher. It would look like a tiny little baseball. And we fight over control of a corner of it. This part has a thousand acres and one has an acre. So. So that would put. And one has none at all. And you could reduce it to nothing. It's only a theater for God's great play where he expands himself beyond anything that he was. And yet the whole vast universe contained within him. Question. I wanted to know, are all these blank space dreams significant? And if so, how does one go about interpreting them? To me, all dreams are significant. But we are past masters at misinterpreting a dream. God speaks to man through the language and reveals himself through the medium of vision. A dream could come to you in a very simple way where it needs no interpretation. Or it could come to you in the universal language of symbolism. If you're not familiar with the universal language, well then you need the interpreter. The best books that I know of on the lost language of symbolism are simply Bailey's two volumes. He called it the Lost Language of Symbolism by Bailey. It is available. Look it up. They're really perfectly marvelous. They will help you. They won't make you a master at interpreting symbols, but they will help. But if it comes in the form of a symbol, well then you have to understand the language of symbols. God is making every effort to reveal himself. Even as old Abdullah said, an undigested piece of beef. Well, even that. If that's the cause of the dream, it's still. The dream is important. Until Friday. Thank you. Well, well, well, Neville. Getting down to business. More law. Rific business. There's a lot of law in here, but there's a lot of promise. Very much so too. Memory. June 8th, 1965. We're going to see you in the next one.
