Spiritual States - Neville Goddard (04-06-1965) | Full Reading + Commentary

Neville Goddard 1965 lectures Spiritual States April 6, 1965 Tonight's subject is Spiritual States that the spiritual states of the soul are all eternal. Learn to distinguish between man and his present state. When we open the Bible and read any passage whatsoever, we encounter men and women and. And you might think that they existed in time and space on this earth and the whole vast world. Who accepts the Bible will take it in that light? May I tell you, the Bible has no reference whatsoever to any person that ever walked the face of the earth, to any event that would ever occur, to any event that would occur, that ever occurred on earth. But man has mistaken these characters, these personifications for persons, and the gross first sense for the ultimate sense intended and the vehicle that conveys the instruction for the instruction itself. If you sat with that one sentence for like an hour, man, that is profound. Brilliant. Of course, Neville's mind. Of course. That spells out a lot right there in the current issue of Time magazine. We don't have that hour right now. Okay, we gotta. We're in fast paced mode. In the current issue of Time magazine. I got mine today under the heading under the head of Church. Here was this brilliant man of letters, D.H. lawrence, considered a brilliant writer, a master in the use of words. And here he said the resurrection is simply Christ becoming aware of sensual love. That's what the resurrection is. To D.H. lawrence, there's another writer who bears a name that I would call a Greek name. I don't know him, never heard of him. He said the Last Temptation of Christ is simply Christ struck with sexual desire. And that's exactly if you remember the movie I talked about well earlier, I think it came out in 1988, I believe the Last Temptation of Christ. They definitely portrayed that summary in a quote to that movie for sure. Well, here are two men, undoubtedly I know one is considered a great mind. And then in yesterday's Times, the LA Times, I read a little extract from what the Pope had to say the previous day last Sunday. And here is one who is head of possibly 600 million who call themselves Christians. And he said that the Jew killed Christ, but he did it in ignorance because he did not know who he was. Now here are three men, leaders in their field, who still see this story as taking place on this level. They do not know the mystery at all, all in spite of their titles. It either is revealed to you or else somewhere to whom. Or else someone to whom it has been revealed, tells it and you believe it, or you reject it and go along your business on this level, Christ Jesus is a supernatural being, housed in everyone. Or one could not live, one could not breathe. Now let us take a state, a spiritual state. I mentioned the Word. Anyone instantly thinks of a man, he is first. He is the first patriarch, as tradition has it. Tradition has it that he lived 4,000 years ago. You can find it catalogued the very day and month of his birth on earth. And scholars will spend, oh limitless hours trying to find the exact day and month because they give him a father. His father is Terah. T E R A H. So here now we have one called Abraham. Where real civilization begins. In Abraham he is told that he will have offspring more numerous than the sands of the sea. Can you conceive of that? More numerous than the stars of heaven. Here is a man, all right. All will come out of Abraham, we are told, but only a certain kind will come out. So let us see how it begins in the 12th chapter in Genesis, where he is told to leave his home, leave his father, leave his kin, and go into a land that I will show you. Verse 1. Then we turn over where now the real beginning starts in a dream. The 15th chapter of the book of Genesis. And as the sun was going down, a great sleep fell upon Abram and a dread and great darkness fell upon him. And the Lord said to Abram, your descendants will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs. And they will be slaves there. And they will be opposed for 400 years. Verse 12. Now you read that and you think a presence called God is speaking to a man called Abraham. Hasn't a thing to do with that. Abraham is an external. Excuse me, Abraham is an eternal spiritual state. And you and I enter that state and do exactly what we're told here in scripture. We fall asleep in that state. Then we have the dreams, this dream of horror which is this world. You don't have to look very far into your news supplier, the guy or the source or the social media that supplying you the news to see horror, do you? It doesn't last 400 years. Four is a symbol. Every letter of the Hebrew Alphabet has a numerical value as well as a symbolical value. 400 is the numerical value of the last letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. That letter is Tau. Tau. The symbol of that is the sign of the cross. This is the cross. The only cross on which Christ was ever crucified. No wooden cross. No matter how many times you see that Monty Python skit of them up crucified on the cross. And they're all singing always look on the bright side of life. I can't whistle right now, but you get the idea. I will attach it in the description because it is that funny. It's not a wooden cross. This is the cross right at your birth, from a woman's womb is when you are crucified. That's the cross. This is the tree, as Blake said. This is the tree, as Blake said. The gods of the earth and the sea sought through nature to find this tree. But their search was all in vain. There grows in the human brain. There grows one in the human brain. That's where we are nailed. Christ is nailed upon this tree, upon this cross. No Jew ever nailed him on this cross. He nailed himself on this cross. As we are told in the 10 as we are told in the 10th chapter, chapter of the Book of John. No one takes away my life. I lay it down myself. I have the right to lay it down and the right to take it up again. Verse 18. No one takes my life. And it's from this Book of John that the Pope was quoting to justify his claim that the Jews killed him. Had he turned only two chapters over, he was quoting the eighth chapter. Had he gone over to the tenth chapter, he would have found this. Surely he must know it. But seemingly you can't seem to know it until it's revealed or you hear it from to whom it has been revealed and you believe him. We are told that a truth embodied in a tale shall enter in at lowly doors. But how long it's going to take for this truth embodied in a tale to enter in through these lowly doors? It's been now hundreds and hundreds of years. And men in positions of trust still do not see the mystery. While they quibble, quabble over their power and their resources, their Father finances, and just look outside, outside, outside, outside, outside. That's all they are doing. They're like, what is that seven eyes of God? Is that the third eye? Is the third eye tricking your fellow human? I think it was. There is some fascinating stuff to learn in the seven Eyes of God lecture. It's on the channel. Check it out. Blake made the statement in his vision of the Last Judgment. He said it ought to be understood that the person Moses and Abraham are not here meant he's talking about the vision that he saw of Moses and Abraham. And they appear in vision as persons because all attributes of God are personified. So when you meet belief, as Abraham represents belief represents faith, you see faith personified. The essence of faith would be Abraham, my teacher's. Last name Sylvia Abraham. She did author a few books if I haven't mentioned the first being. No, the first in our relationship together in the mid-90s, early-90s actually. I met her in the summer of 1991. She did my consultation in September of 1991 whilst taking classes with her. I went right off the bat, took numerology, took, took tarot, took palmistry, just fired them all out. And during the tarot class she had an old self produced comb binded tarot book and I inspired her to write that book and get it published and she did. She wrote the book, got it published on Llewellyn and I think it was. I think it's called how to the a keyword system, something in that nature. It's on Amazon Lewellyn. And then she followed it up with how to another. I think there's a part two to that book. I forget what it is. Later, through a lot of effort I wanted to publish her book. It didn't work out. Her numerology book, it didn't work out. So she went ahead and had it published and I forget the publisher but there's so many dang mistakes in that book. She didn't do that till way later. Like maybe she did her tarot book in the 90s, got it published by Llewellyn, very stoked. She was happy. It was a wonderful time. Then she did her numerology book probably in the late 2000s. Yeah, somewhere in that area. I think she passed in 2017 so it was around 6, 7 or 8. Her numerology book. I don't know if that's on Amazon. I'll have to look and tell you but her last name is Abraham Faith. You look at this stuff from a little bit higher of a view of here's this level where you're experiencing it. Everything is. You pushed out but then you move yourself, remove yourself here up a little bit and see these are all symbols. Everything is a symbol. It all reconciles back to the book. Not just this book but the book, the best instruction manual ever made that Neville had the heart and the courage and the resilience and the fortitude and the capacity to interpret. For all of us a wonder to behold for sure. We are very, very very lucky. These are all symbols. Raise up a little bit. Even Neville's a symbol. If you are here and you're learning to break this down and discover and peel open this mystery for yourself you're going to realize sooner or later this is all a symbols game. It's definitely a drama. It's a stage, it's a play. But Neville's a great guide, I promise you. Abraham represents belief, represents faith. Faith, you see, faith personified. The essence of faith would be Abraham. It's a man in vision. But the man only personifies a state, a state of belief, a state of faith. Those two words also fall into the Pisces system. Just so you know, I bought the pearl. No big deal, but I don't mind throwing this stuff out there. Salt and pepper. Now, once in a while, the word belief. Believe. I believe is the Pisces keyword. Belief and faith are both the ones that are also symbolized by your feet. So this is a concept to just throw in there. You buy the pearl, you're at the Neville level. But down here, where you have all that divination stuff, you have symbols. This is all symbols. I've gone through all those ranks and it's very fun. It was for me. But we don't need those symbols. We're over here already. So we're up on this bird's eye view level. But it's fun to understand what you're reading. They're all symbols. Each word is a symbol. So he calls upon us when we read his work, which is based purely on vision, to bear in mind that he is not speaking of the persons, that the individuals only are representatives or visions of the states of consciousness. Like I'm saying this other level. These states of consciousness were revealed to mortal man in a series of divine revelations as they are now written in the Bible. He said, I saw these in my imagination. When you see them at a distance, they appear as one man. As you approach, they appear multitudes of nations. I know that's true, for I have seen it that way. I saw the one man. I saw the one man in radiant light and his heart aglow like a living ruby. As I approached, it wasn't one man. Multitudes, but an infinite number of men contained in one man. So here is the one man, fragmented in this world, the states through which we pass. And we start with Abraham. Now, what did Abraham believe? We turn now to the third chapter of the book of Galatians. And as you read it in three or four little verses, the sixth through the ninth. And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness. So you see, it is the men of faith who are the sons of Abraham. Now listen to this passage carefully. God preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham. The gospel which, if you take it in a chronological manner, came 2000 years later, that begins our Christian era. This age, as it were. This age, Abraham preceded it by 2,000 years. And we're told God preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham. That's what Abraham believed. Not a man. You, in the state of belief, the whole vast future is revealed to you. God's purpose, God's plan. And the purpose is realized at the end of a journey through darkness. Delight. And while you fall asleep, in that deep, deep sleep where you have the appearance of death, the dreams come from within, while you are dreaming. And this world appears, and they seem now to come from without and completely detached and independent of your perception of them. And yet your dream is causing every motion in the world. The whole vast world is but your animated internal self. And you're doing it in the state of dream. Then you come to the end of the dream and the fulfillment of what you saw in the beginning. For Abraham rejoiced that he was to see my day. He saw it and was glad. John 8:56. Abraham rejoiced because he was going to see your day. Why, you're not yet 50 and you know our father, Abraham. Verses 57, 58. Before Abraham was I am. He's telling you exactly who he is. Now, this is a mystery not taking place here. The Grand Being, his eternal name is I am. My name forever and forever through all generations. So if before Abraham was I am, he's identifying himself with the Supreme Being who preceded the state called Abraham, through which he, the Supreme Being, will now pass and constrict himself to that state, and take upon himself the form of man, limit himself to that limit of contraction called man, that limit of opacity called man, and have these weird dreams of the night. For this is all called the dream of life, regardless of the time of day, because you don't know the cause of the phenomena. Therefore you are sleeping at night. Then comes the day of the Lord, when you awake from the dream. Supreme Being, as you know from the movie the Fifth Element, one of my favorite movies, I have the Blu Ray. I've watched it a thousand times at least, and I now know what it's all about, considering everything we've read. And he finally slots in that phrase, Supreme Being, Abraham. So if before Abraham was I am, he's identifying himself with the Supreme Being who preceded the state called Abraham, through which he, the Supreme Being Being, will now pass and constrict himself to that state and take upon himself the form of man, limit himself to that limit of contraction called man, that limit of opacity called man and have these weird dreams of the night. The supreme being is God. Of course, you're reading between the lines. You saw that. But they did use it in a Hollywood movie. And if you can believe it. And the whole purpose, that fifth element concept was very, very fun. The symbols throughout the movie are wonderful. Fire, earth, air, water. If you're not, if you, if you haven't seen the movie, I say pause there, pause this, go watch and come back. Fire, earth, air, water are the symbols of the stones. And I'm not going to throw anything out, but the true purpose is love. Now we're in the 3D in the movie. Of course, you can't deny that, but it is a very, very wonderful portrayal of this concept in a movie. Not very many hit it, but that one hit it really well. What's the most important thing in the world? You will have to answer one day. Just kind of try and stamp that in there. So when you pose the question, you will know the answer. The whole seen dissolved. But it came from Kuf, from the back of your head. The next letter, the 20th, would be resh, r, e, s, H. And that would be most blank space from here. That would be the head altogether and the whole head. But KUF is the back of the head. That's the sign of it, the symbol of it. So the hundred does not mean a man of a hundred years as you and I measure time. It's simply this sign of that state in which he was placed. And you and I are placed in the state of believing. So what did he believe? He believed the gospel. Yet the gospel had not yet appeared. He was told and shown the gospel. Abraham rejoiced that he saw to this. Abraham rejoiced that he was to see my day. He saw it and was glad he saw it as it was revealed to him before the journey began. So it was revealed to you before the journey began. And everyone is in that state. So the 400 is the cross, the 100 is the back of the head. And Abraham is only a state, an eternal state that everyone must enter to start the journey. And the end of the journey is the resurrection, the birth, the discovery of the fatherhood of God, the ascension, and the seal of the Holy Spirit upon the work that is done. Those are the four mystical events, experiences, six, if you will. If you break two of them down into two. But it's four major. And everyone should have it, everyone will have it. But you start with Abraham. Just a state. Either you accept it or you reject it. You Believe it or you don't. If you believe it, you're in the state of Abraham. So all these characters that we think are persons are not. Yet when you meet them, they appear as persons. That's in vision. That's in your dream state. They will appear as persons. I promise you, there is no doubt. Even the babe in swaddling clothes is a babe in swaddling clothes. When you see Abraham, you see this far looking, looking far off into the distance, as though he saw eternity in his eyes. But it's a man when you see him. And yet you know it's a statement state. As you come close. They all take on forms and you take on forms, but they are only states, infinite states, and they are permanent. Now we can take this spiritual lesson and put it into practice here in this world. He fell asleep in a state called Abraham. It said Abraham fell asleep. Now the one who enters it, he falls asleep. So it's a totally, and so it's totally that manner. So tonight you can fall asleep in a certain state. And when you feel the reality of the state in which you fall asleep, trust it. You're not going to find when you wake tomorrow morning that you are actually in that crystallized form. But trust it. Remember what you did. But what you did. So I believe what you did. And then go through the night where you don't see any evidence to support it, you see nothing to encourage you. But you know what you did. Keep on doing it in your mind's eye. Fall asleep in that state. But see that you're not falling asleep in another state. Your mind may wander. Bring it back if it takes you a hundred times until you can fall asleep in a state state. As you fall asleep in a state, that state is going to unfold in your world. The state of health, or the state of wealth, or the state of being wanted, or the state of being unwanted. The state of being poor. Any state. As you fall asleep in the state, the states project themselves on the screen of space. Whatever state you fall asleep in gets projected. What you're seeing now is what you fell asleep in. Whatever state it is you're in as you see it, you fell asleep in that last night. Today's projection is the past. Stop living in the past. It's all now. You must persist, persist, persist. And focus on the state you want to be. The man or woman you want to be or perceive yourself about to be, could be, are going to be. You are it. Most profound sentence. Listen to it again. The state of health or the state as you fall asleep in a state, that state is going to unfold in your world. The state of health, or the state of wealth, or the state of being wanted, or the state of being unwanted. The state of being poor. Any state. As you fall asleep in the state, the state projects themselves on the screen of space. So the same spiritual lesson can become the most practical lesson in this world of Caesar. While we wait for the grand thing to appear in our world. The grand thing to appear in our world means the promise. But previous sentence. So the same spiritual lesson can become the most practical lesson in this world of Caesar. Means you can put it to use for your grand practical use. Practical means I am wealthy. Practical means I am healthy. Practical means I am in love, happily married. Practical means I am raising a family. Practical means that all means to me freedom. That's the practical use of the law. You're here to use the law. Not to deny yourself the use of the law. You're here to use the law. Persist, persist, persist. Hang on. Do not quit. My favorite. Stay the course. Maybe that's my ex Navy. Maybe that's my ex Navy feeling of being on the USS Enterprise for months at a time at sea, looking at nothing but blue ocean. Course all over the place. Nuclear powered ship didn't run out of fuel. Boy, oh boy, what a grand time. Oh, I only condone that activity if you're in your teens to 20s, man. Tough stuff, let me tell you. So here, when you find these brilliant minds, given all the space in these national magazines and powerful papers, leading and influencing the minds of millions of people and they are sound asleep. Excuse me, I'm beside myself. The blind leading the blind. But here we are waking up. That's okay. I was a blind follower, so I'm not begrudging it. And a blind leader, I'm not begrudging that either. The last thing I would ever want to discover is that I was blind and leading. Blind. I consider myself awake and leading awake or awakening. You say that in the presence of a believing Catholic. And he would. He would slap you because you dared to say something about his Holy Father. Well, I am not given that way. Today I reach the point. I see no one in this world to whom and before whom I would bow. I don't care who he is, what position he holds. Let me hear from his lips the story, the only story in the world. The story of the gospel. Listen carefully to his interpretation of it. See what state he's in. That'll reveal it all right there. If he's not in that state of absolute faith in that story beyond this level. Well, then what does it matter what he says? I gotta throw this in. He just. I would. There's no one in this world to whom and before whom I would bow. Seth had a quote that I put on my wall in my bathroom. But in 1991, when I started studying Seth, then I would return to my previous residence. And I had a poster in there. And then I put on that post. I wrote it right there. It says, the gods don't come kneeling, so why should you kneel to them? I think that's where I put it. I forgot where I put that quote. Gods don't come kneeling, so why would you need to kneel to them or don't kneel to them? I think it was more like that. That was from Seth, which made good sense. So if D.H. lawrence comes out and tells me the resurrection is simply Christ awakening to the sensual love of all the things in the world, exclamation point. He doesn't get it. Obviously, when this presence in the resurrection is above the organization of sex, it can assume any sex at will. Because it doesn't use sex to create its sex is all now. Now, in awakened imagination. I bought a book from my teacher. I have to throw this in. We came back from Seattle to visit. She still had her bookstore open. She closed it, I think in latter 1999. We might have been in her bookstore visiting. In 98 or 99. I bought this book called the Perfect Couple. She told me as I purchased a book from her over the counter, I had my girlfriend, soon to be fiance or wife in the moment. I forget. Sylvia tells me, you read this book, the Perfect Couple. Forget the author. She goes, you read this book and you won't be having sex again. I looked at her, I go, what? Here I am with my fiance, future wife or wife in the moment, and I'm thinking myself, what are you talking about? Man? We are like two magnets, two peas in a pod. This is never going to stop for us. Well, now, as we hit the sixth decade and rising in consciousness, you do get to an understanding in this consciousness that when this presence in the resurrection is above the organization of sex, it can assume sex at will, any sex at will, because it doesn't use sex to create its sex is all now in awakened imagination. See, the old, not the old. But I have a friend and we always joke about the jangling keys you put in front of a baby. And they're like, wow, look at the lights. Well, it seems to Us, we laugh about being in our 20s, 30s, 40s. Because it's like those jangly keys and sparkly things are always like, wow, look at this, look at that. And so goes the concept of procreation. It's like a jangly key in front of the baby's eyes. It's the, like distractive. It's that chase. It's that urge to be creative. In this organization of consciousness, your creation is taking on a whole new octave, a whole new timber of creativity, infinite. If you're looking at how you create an experience that is above and beyond pro conclusion, creation, which is the physical form of creation, we're talking about the spiritual form of creation. And then you see the event unfold before your eyes. Now, if you could teach that to a young child, that spiritual form of creation, they're already creative as all get out. You give them finger paints, you give them anything. Clay, doh, or Plato, I think it's called. They form shapes or. And they're all infinitely creative. We come in infinitely creative spiritually. Then of course, we don't want the species to die out. So we go through this procreative phase. But if we're taught, I think, about our creative faculties, this spiritual level type, like reverence. I love when Neville said about teaching a child reverence for a flower, reverence for a bug, just the tiniest creatures and seeing the value in them. So for a father or mother to teach their very young child, the toddler, to go out and to never do harm to a bug, to never do harm to a flower by just pulling the petals, that kind of reverence, that kind of creative appreciation and understanding and love for your world, taught to a toddler, oh my gosh. A young child, oh my gosh, what wonder. Out of that imagination soon comes wow. Wow. If you're in that position, take heed, please. It's only on this level that sex, a divided being, is used. It's not used in the resurrection. And he tells me the resurrection is simply this sensual love, the awakening to it. By the way, my interpretation of the Perfect Couple, that book simply Christ awakening to the sensual love of all the things in the world. He doesn't get it. Obviously, when this presence in the resurrection is above the organization of sex, it can assume any sex at will, because it doesn't use sex to create. Its sex is all. Now, now, in awakened imagination, I bought a book from my teacher. I have to throw this in. We came back from Seattle to visit. She still had her bookstore open. She closed it, I think, in latter 1999, we might have been in her bookstore, visiting in 98 or 99, I bought this book called the Perfect Couple.

Forget the author. She goes, you read this book and you won't be having sex again. I looked at her and I go, what? Here I am with my fiance, future wife or wife in the moment, and I'm thinking to myself, what are you talking about, man? We are like two magnets, two peas in a pod. This is never going to stop for us. Well, now, as we hit the sixth decade and rising in consciousness, you do get to an understanding in this consciousness that when this presence in the resurrection is above the organization of sex, it can assume sex at will, any sex at will, because it doesn't use sex to create its sexual sex is all now in awakened imagination. See, the old, not the old. But I have a friend and we always joke about the jangling keys you put in front of a baby. And they're like, wow, look at the lights. Well, it seems to us we laugh about, about being in our 20s, 30s, 40s, because it's like those jangly keys and sparkly things are always like, wow, look at this, look at that. And the so. So goes the concept of procreation. It's like a jangly key in front of the baby's eyes. It's like distractive. It's that chase, it's that urge to be creative. In this organization of consciousness, your creation is taking on a whole new octave, a whole new timber of creativity, infinite. If you're looking at how you create an experience that is above and beyond procreation, which is the physical form of creation, we're talking about the spiritual form of creation. And then you see the event unfold before your eyes. Now, if you could teach that to a young child, that spiritual form of creation, they're already creative as all get out. You give them finger paints, you give them anything clay do or Plato, I think it's called form, shapes, or anything infinitely creative, we come in infinitely creative spiritually, then of course we don't want the species to die out. So we go through this procreative phase. But if we're taught, I think, about our creative faculties, this spiritual level type, like reverence. I love when Neville said about teaching a child reverence for a flower, reverence for a bug, just the tiniest creatures and seeing the value in them.

A young child, oh my gosh. What wonder. Out of that imagination soon comes wow. Wow. If you're in that position, take heed, please. It's only on this level that sex, a divided being, is used. It's not used in the Resurrection. And he tells me the resurrection is simply this sensual love, the awakening to it. By the way, my interpretation of the Perfect Couple. That book, I did not read it. It sat on my shelf. I think I got a second copy. When she closed her bookstore and mailed me boxes and boxes of books. I ended up selling them both off. But my interpretation now, where I'm sitting now in this consciousness unfoldment, is that the perfect couple is this. It's when your outer and your inner wed, or the male of you and the female of you wed. This is how you bring these two things together and then create offspring, the Son of you, which is your creation. So spiritually, you wed an idea into the work that is done. Those are the four mystical events, experiences, six, if you will. If you break two of them down into two. But it's four major. And everyone should have it, Everyone will have it. But you start with Abraham. Just a state. Either you accept it or an assumption. Impress your subconscious. And that objectifies subjection. Objection. Put the impression, then see the expression, that's the perfect couple within the individual. Doesn't matter if you're in a relationship or not. That's what we're talking about. That was my interpretation of that book called the Perfect Couple. I never read. You reject it. You believe it or you don't. If you believe it, you're in the state of Abraham. So all these characters that we think are persons are not. Yet when you meet them, they appear as persons. That's in vision. That's in your dream state. But just the COVID told me enough. I get it now. I didn't get it then. And he tells me the resurrection is simply this sensual love, the awakening to it of all things in the world. Exclamation point. And these are supposed to be brilliant minds. Then another one comes and tells that a certain race of people, they will appear as persons. I promise you, there is no doubt. Even the babe in swaddling Clothes is a babe in swaddling clothes. When you see Abraham, you see this far looking, looking far off into the distance as though he saw eternity in his eyes. But it's a man when you see him. And yet you know people called the Jews killed the Lord because they didn't know who he was. In this very book, no one takes my life. I lay it down myself. I have the power and the right to lay it down and the power and the right to raise it up again, to pick it up again. End quote. So I tell you, this story is eternal. It's a state. As you come close, they all take on forms and you take on forms, but they are only states, infinite states, and they are permanent. Now we can take this spiritual lesson and put it into practice here in this world. He fell asleep in a state called Abraham. It said Abraham fell asleep. But when you read it, see states, don't see people. When you read the Bible, see states. That's the simplest instruction Neville ever gave. Don't see it as historical facts, see it as salvation and see states, spiritual states. Now, the one who enters it, he falls asleep. And so it's a totally. And so it's totally that manner. So tonight you can fall asleep in a certain state. And when you feel the reality of the state in which you fall asleep, trust it. You're not going to find when you wake tomorrow morning that you are actually in that crystallized form. But trust it. Remember what you did. But what you did. Sorry. Believe what you did and then go through the night where you don't see any evidence to support it, you see nothing to encourage you, but you know what you did. Keep on doing it in your mind's eye. Fall asleep in that state. As he said, it's not secular history, it's salvation history. The Bible, I like to call it, just a big instruction book. But when you see the personifications, those are spiritual states. Isaac is that state, Jacob is the state, Abraham is a state, and they all represent. But see that you're not falling asleep in another state. Your mind may wander. Bring it back if it takes you a hundred times until you can fall asleep in a state. As you fall asleep in a state, that state, state is going to unfold in your. These eternal spiritual states distinguish between the man and the world. The state of health or the state of wealth or the state of being wanted or the state of being a state. You can be in a state from morning to night. You can have a dozen states in a dozen seconds. It's entirely up to you. I am hungry. I am thirsty. Unwanted. The state of being poor. Any state. As you fall asleep in the state. The states project themselves on the screen of space. Whatever state you fall asleep in gets projected. What you're seeing now is what you fell asleep in. Whatever state it is you're in. As you. I am tall. I am short. I am fat. I am skinny. I am poor. I am rich. You can have a dozen in 12 seconds. Think about that. You can have a dozen states and a dozen. You see it. You fell asleep last night. Today's projection is the past. Stop living in the past. It's all now. You must persist. Persist. Persist. And focus on the state you want to be. The man or woman you want. Seconds. It's entirely up to you. But the state that will work. The clue is given us in that fifth. To be or perceive yourself about to be could be. Are going to be. You are it. Team Chapter and when the sun was going down a deep sleep fell upon a most profound sentence. Listen to it again. The state of health or the state. As you fall asleep in a state. That state is going to unfold in your world. The state of health. Abram. Then it begins to happen. When the sun was going down. A deep sleep fell upon Abram. Or the state of wealth. Or the state of being wanted. Or the state of being unwanted. The state of being poor. Any state. As you fall asleep. Abram. And then what kind of sleep was it? A dread and great darkness fell upon the state. The state projects themselves on the screen of space. So the same spiritual lesson can become the most practical lesson in this world of Caesar. While we wait for the grand thing to appear in our world. The grand thing to appear in our world means the hymn. Then the Lord tells him the birth pains that will follow. For these are all promise. But Previous sentence so the same spiritual lesson can become the most prominent practical lesson in this world of Caesar. Means you can put it to use for your grand all the birth pains to bring forth what he saw. He saw the child. He saw his hand. Practical use. Practical means I am wealthy. Practical means I am healthy. Practical means I am in love. Happily married. Practical means I am raising a family. Practical means that all means to me freedom. That's the practical use of the law. You're here to use the law. Not to deny yourself the use of the law. You're here to use the law coming out of the back of his head. But he saw him only a symbol of himself. For he would come out and he will be the One's law. Persist, persist, persist. Hang on. Do not quit. My favorite. Stay the course. Maybe that's my ex Navy speaking to himself. He would be God moving into entirely. He would be God moving into an entirely different world because he dared to contract himself to this limit. Maybe that's my ex Navy feeling of being on the USS Enterprise for months at a time at sea, looking at nothing but blue ocean. Course, course, course. In order to extend and expand his creative power. There's only God in the course. All over the place. Nuclear powered ship didn't run out of fuel. Boy, oh boy, what a grand time. Oh, I only condone that activity if you're this world, nothing but God. So in the end there's still only God. We have ten commandments, haven't we? And yet literally the word commandment simply means word. So there are 10 words in your teens to 20s, man, tough stuff, let me tell you. So here when you find these brilliant minds, given all the space in these national magazines and powerful papers, leading and influencing the minds of millions of people and they are sound asleep. Excuse me, I'm beside myself. The blind leading the blind. But here we are waking up. That's okay. I was a blind follower, so I'm not big reg in it. And a blind. Literally. So we find the Ten Commandments. He broke every command, blind leader. I'm not begrudging that either. The last thing I would ever want to discover is that I was blind and leading blind. I consider myself awake and leading awake or awakening. You say that in the presence of a believing Catholic and he would slap you because you dared to say something about His Holy Father. Well, I am not given that way. Today I reach the point. I see no one in this world to whom and before whom I would bow. I don't care who he is, what position you hold, but not the 10. Take the 10 words that form the 10 commandments and you find the great Commandment. When he was asked which is the greatest commandment? And he answers. Here's the test question. Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. Deuteronomy 6, 4. Add them up. Ten words. That's the great commandment. That's one new to me. Here. Our He. Let me hear from his lips the story, the only story in the world, the story of the Gospel. Listen carefully to his interpretation of it and see what state he's in. That'll reveal it all right there. If he's not in that state of absolute faith in that story beyond this level, well then what does it Matter what he says. Hear, O Israel. Hear, O Israel. Gotta throw this in. He just. I would. There's no one in this world to whom and before whom I would bow. Seth had a quote that I put on my wall in my bathroom in 1991 when I started studying Seth. Then I would return to my previous residence. The Lord our God is one Lord. Add them up. 10 words. That is the great commandment. The minute you turn to another. Another could kill me, another could help me. And I had a poster in there. And then I put on that post. I wrote it right there. It says, the gods don't come kneeling, so why should you kneel to them? I think that's where I put it. I forgot where I put that quote. Gods don't come kneeling, so why would you need to kneel to them or don't kneel? Another could do this. I have another God. All that is being done unto me, I am dual to them. I think it was more like that that was from Seth, which made good sense. So if D.H. lawrence comes out and tells me that resurrection is simply Christ awakening to the sensual love of all the things in the world, exclamation point. He doesn't get it. Doing to myself, you bring me fortune or misfortune because I am doing it to myself. Obviously, when this presence in the resurrection is above the organization of sex, it can assume any sex. You have to get that anything coming to you from without is from within at will. Because it doesn't use sex to create its sex is all now. Now, in awakened imagination. I bought a book for my teacher. I have to throw this in. We can't. There is only God. Came back from Seattle to visit. She still had her bookstore open. She closed it, I think in latter 1999. We might have been in her bookstore visiting. In 98 or 99, I bought this book called the Perfect Couple. She told me so. Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. These are the words that really mean the Ten Commandments. So, Eris, I purchased a book from her over the counter. I had my girlfriend, soon to be fiance or wife. In the moment. I forget. Sylvia tells me, you read this book, the Perfect Couple. Forget the author. She goes, you read this book and you won't be having sex again. I looked at him and I go, what? Here I am with my fiance, future wife or wife. In the moment. Every commandment he broke, those are written out. And I'm thinking to myself, what are you talking about, man? We are like two magnets, two peas in a Pod, this is never going to stop for us. Well, now, as we hit the sixth decade and rising in consciousness, you do get to an understanding in this consciousness that when this presence in the resurrection is above the organization of sex, it can assume sex at will. Any sex at will, because it doesn't use long words. There isn't one he didn't break. He broke the Sabbath. He. He said, who is my father and who is my mother? Did he not break that commandment in his speaking of his father and mother? There wasn't a thing he didn't do. So when it happens, sex, to create its sex, is all now in awakened imagination. See, the old, not the old, but I have a friend. And we always joke about the jangling keys you put in front of a baby. And they're like, wow, look at the lights. Well, it seems to us we laugh about being in our 20s, 30s, 40s, because it's like those jangly keys and sparkly things are always like, wow, look at this, look at that. And so goes the concept of procreation. It's like a jangly key in front of the baby's eyes. It's like distractive. It's that chase. It's that urge to be creative. In this organization, consciousness, your creation is taking on a whole new octave, a whole new timber of creativity. Infinite. If you're looking at how you create an experience that is above and beyond procreation, which is the physical form of creation, we're talking about the spiritual form of creation. And then you see the event unfold before your eyes. Now, if you could teach that to a young child, that spiritual form of creation, they're already creative as all get out. You give them finger paints, you give them anything. Play doh. I think it's called form, shapes or anything infinitely creative. We come in infinitely creative spiritually. Then of course, we don't want the species to die out, so we go through this procreative phase. But if we're taught, I think, about our creative faculties, this spiritual level type, like in you, it's not the 10 that people speak about, but the 10 words that you must keep forever locked in your heart. That when he says, must I need to knock on the chalkboard or knock on the desk? That's not Tony Orlando and Don talking. All right? That's reverence. I love when Neville said about teaching a child reverence for a flower, reverence for a bug. Just the tiniest creatures and seeing the value in them. So for a father or mother to teach their very young child the toddler to go out and to never do harm to a bug, to never do harm to a flower by just pulling the petals. That kind of reverence, you must keep them forever locked in your heart, repeating, hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. That kind of creative appreciation and understanding and love for your world taught to a toddler, oh my gosh. And a young child, oh my gosh. What wonder. Out of that imagination soon comes wow, wow. And any temptation to tune and oh, if you're in that position, take heed, please. It's only on this level that sex, a divided being used. It's not used in the resurrection. And he tells me the resurrection is simply this sentient. Any temptation to turn to another, then remember the great commandment. Hear, O love, the awakening to it. By the way, my interpretation of the Perfect Couple. That book, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord, when you take it and break it into meaning for us, the word translated, the Lord is I am the word translated, our God would be our. I did not read it. It sat on my shelf. I think I got a second copy. When she closed her bookstore and mailed me boxes and boxes of books. I ended up selling them both off. But my interpretation now, where I'm sitting now in this consciousness unfoldment, is that the perfect couple is this. It's when your outer and your inner wed, or the male of you and the female of you I ams. For all our I ams together, it forms only one I am. So when you see him at a distance, one man you approach comes close. Multiple nations. All the I ams contained in one wed. This is how you bring these two things together and then create offspring. The son of you, which is your creation. So spiritually, you wed an idea into an assumption. Impress your subconscious. And that objectifies subjection. Objection. Put the impression then see the I am the Lord our God is one Lord expression. That's the perfect couple within the individual. Doesn't matter if you're in a relationship or not. That's what we're talking about. That was my interpretation of that book called the Perfect Couple. I never read what a breakdown I just feel. But just the COVID told me enough. I get it now. I didn't get it then. I just feel like I'm a roasting piece of meat and the gravy is just lapping on top of me. That's what I feel. And he tells me the resurrection is simply this sensual love. Feel like right now, it's just so delicious. Scrumptious. It just feels that way. I'm just roasted over the awakening to it of all things in the world. Exclamation point. And these are supposed to be brilliant minds. Then another one comes and tells that a certain race of people, this is next level Neville right here. So here people called the Jews killed the Lord because they didn't know who he was. In this very book, no one takes my life. I lay it down myself. I have the power and the right to lay it. You can take it this night and try to keep it in mind so that you will not go astray concerning these characters down. And the power and the right to raise it up again, to pick it up again, end quote. So I tell you, this story is eternal. But when you read it, see states, do not see people. When you read the Bible, see states. That is the simplest instruction Neville ever gave. Don't see it as historical fact. See it as salvation and see state states, spiritual states. As he said, it's not secular history, it's salvation history. The Bible, I like to call it just a big instruction book. But when you see the personifications, when they asked the question and they were told it was not for you, but for us that you did this service, these are states. And so when the prophets of old inquired about this person who or this time when they prophesied the coming of Christ and prophesied of the subsequent glory of Christ after of course, the tribulation, and they were told they were serving not thousands, but serving us. Those are spiritual states. Isaac is that state. Jacob is the state. Abraham is a state. And they all represent all these states when animated, speak their contents. And so they're asking and speaking. These eternal spiritual states distinguish between the man and the state. You can be in a state from morning to night. You can have a dozen states. When is it going to happen? But they're not. They're only states in a dozen seconds. It's entirely up to you. I am hungry, I am thirsty. And you come upon these states. They look like people. I am tall, I am short. I am fat. I am skinny. I am poor, I am rich. You can have a dozen in 12 seconds. Look like individuals as you do, but they're only states. There isn't one that you will ever go astray in identifying. It screams at you. Think about that. You can have a dozen states in a dozen seconds. It's entirely up to you. But the state that will work. The clue is given us in that 15th chapter. And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell Upon Abram. Then it begins to happen. When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram. And then what kind of sleep was it? A dread and great darkness fell upon him. Then the Lord tells him the birth pains that will follow. For these are all who it is. And yet they're not characters of history as we are. We are the Elohim who actually became man when for a purpose, all the birth pains to bring forth what he saw. He saw the child. He saw him coming out of the back of his head. But he saw him only a symbol of himself. For he would come out and he will be the one speaking to himself. He would be God moving into entirely. He would be God Murphys. And. And the purpose was to extend and expand our creative power. So let no one tell you, as I told you earlier, moving into an entirely different world. Because he dared to contract himself to this limit in order to extend and expand his creative power. There's only God in this world. Nothing but God. So in the end, there's still only God. We have ten commandments, haven't we? And yet we are only quoting from these three people just what Christ is. That's not Christ. Christ is this superhuman. Literally, the word commandment simply means word. So there are 10 words literally. So we find the 10 commandments. He broke every commandment, but not the 10. Take the 10 words that form the 10 commandments and you find the great commandment. When he was asked which is the greatest commandment? And he answers. Here's the test question. Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. Deuteronomy 6, 4. Add them up. 10 words. That's the great commandment. Supernatural being buried in you. And the nearest I can clothe him in a word is your own. Wonderful. That's one new to me. Here, O Israel. Hear, O Israel. Human imagination, that is God. The Lord our God is one Lord. Add them up. Ten words. That's the great commandment. The minute you turn one with the supreme Deity, which is supreme imagination, turn to another. Another could kill me. Another could help me. Another could do this. I have another God. All that is being done unto me, I am. Doesn't differ, save we are keyed low here. And therefore it takes a little time between the imaginal act and its fulfillment. But I'm doing to myself. You bring me fortune or misfortune because I am doing it to myself. You have to get that anything coming to you from without is from within. There is only God. So hear, O Israel, the Lord our God. These Higher intensities. It's instantaneously. And my argument back to Neville. My retort, if I may, is that I understand why he uses the phrase little time is one Lord. These are the words that really mean the ten Commandments. So error between the imaginal act and its fulfillment. I understand we're only speaking to the 3D, but the sooner you. I'm using time. Right there. Let's say at this, every commandment he broke, those are written out in long words. There isn't one he didn't break. He broke the Sabbath. He said, who is my father and who is my mother? Did he not break that commandment in his speaking of his father and mother? There wasn't a thing he didn't do. So when it happens in you, it's not the 10 that people speak about, but the 10 words that you must keep forever locked in your heart. That when he says, must I need a knock on the chalkboard or knock on the desk? That's not Tony Orlando and Don talking. All right? That's. Wait. As you self persuade. I can't even get away with saying anything without using the concept of time. As you become self persuaded. Become is the concept of time. Self persuasion dictates the transition to the state you want to be from the state. You must keep them forever locked in your heart repeating, Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. And any temptation to tune and any temptation to turn to another, then remember the great commandment. Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. When you take it and break it into meaning for us. The word translated the Lord is I am the word translated our God would be our word. Those all have time in them want to be. Were time. Hmm. It's all now. But this has to be reconciled into a now concept. But speaking to each other in the 3D, we have to use the concept of time now and then. It takes a little time between the imaginal act and its fulfillment. Keyed low. But on these higher I ams, for all our I Ams together, it forms only one I am. So when you see him at a distance, one man you approach comes close. Multiple nations. All the I ams contained in one. I am the Lord our God is one Lord. Mmm. What a breakdown. I just feel. I just feel like I am a roasting piece of meat and the gravy is just lapping on top of me. That's what I feel. Intensities. It's instantaneously. That would be in the new age or in obviously having Feel like right now, it's just so delicious. Scrumptious. It just feels that way. I'm just roasted over here. This is next level Neville right here. So here you can take it this night and try to keep it in mind so that you will not go astray concerning these characters. Experience the mystical fourfold experiences. You get a taste of the power. So here, you try it tonight and take this message concerning this. And when you read the story, the minute you open the Bible, you're when they asked the question and they were told it was not for you, but for us that you did this service. These are states. And so when the prophets of old inquired about this person, or this time when they prophesied the coming of Christ and prophesied of the subsequent glory of Christ after, of course, the tribulation. And they were told they were serving not thousands, but serving us. All these states, when animated, speak their contents. And so they're asking and speaking, when is it going to happen? But they're not, they're only states. No, you're looking only at states. But they must be told in a certain form in order to get over to the mind. So they tell them in story form. They take a being and call it Abraham. They take the forming, as though I were a grand sculptor or some potter and I'm fashioning something. And the act of fashioning, they call it Isaac. And you come upon these states, they look like people, look like individuals, as you do, but they're only states. There isn't one that you will ever go astray in identifying. It screams at you who it is. And yet they're not characters of history as we are. We are the Elohim who actually became man for a purpose. And the purpose was to extend and expand our creative power. So let no one tell you, as I told you earlier, only quoting from these three people, just what Christ is. That's not. And I'm going to make something so pleasant, so beautiful that when I finish Christ, Christ is this superhuman, supernatural being buried in you. And the nearest I can clothe him in a word is your own wonderful human imagination. That's God. It's going to laugh. I will smile with him. Together we agree with the beauty of the thing. It's so altogether lovely. I call it Isaac. And so it's not some little thing coming out from an Old one with the supreme deity, which is supreme imagination. Doesn't differ, save we are keyed low here. And therefore it takes a little time between the imaginal act and its fulfillment but on these higher intensities, it's instantaneously. And my argument back to Neville. My retort if I may, is that I understand why he uses the phrase little time between the imaginal act and its fulfillment. I understand we're only speaking to the 3D but the sooner you. I'm using time right there. Let's say it this way. As you self persuade. Old old womb. That was beyond the age of bearing. No, not at all. It's simply coming out of the mind womb. My own wonderful human imagination. And so I fashion something. I see it clearly in the mind's eye. And then when the sun begins to fall, a deep sleep envelops it. And in that even get away with saying anything without using the concept of time as you become self persuaded. Become is the concept of time. Self persuasion dictates the transition to the state you want to be from the state you were. Those all have time in them want to be were time. Hmm. It's all now. But this has to be reconciled into a now concept. But speaking to each other in the 3D we have to use the concept of time now and then. It takes a little time between the imaginal act and its fulfillment. Keyed low. But on these higher intensities it's instantaneously. That would be in the new age or in obviously having sleep. And in that state, excuse me, I sleep. When I seemingly wake tomorrow I experience the mystical fourfold experiences. Not awake. When I awake tomorrow, it's nighttime. You get a taste of the power. So here you try it tonight and take. There are still confusions. All these things are the birth pains. This message concerning this. And when you read the story, the minute you open the Bible, you're no, you're looking only at states. But they must be told. But it's coming to pass. It's coming to birth. And finally that thing will actually be in a certain form in order to get over to the mind. So they tell them in story form. They take a bean and call it Abraham. They take the forming as though I were a grand sculptor or some potter and I'm fashioning something. And the act of fashioning they call it Isaac. And I'm going to make something so pleasant, so beautiful that when I finish it's going to laugh. I will smile with him. Together we agree with the beauty of the thing. It's so altogether lovely. I call it Isaac. And so it's not some little thing coming out from an old in my world and I will have it. But I'm still asleep. Old, old womb that was beyond the age of bearing. No, not at all. It's simply coming out of the mind womb. My own wonderful human. I can. I can't tell anyone. The shock to live for 50, well, that happened in imagination. And so I fashion something. I see it clearly in the mind's eye. And then when the sun begins to fall, a deep sleep envelops it. And in that sleep, and in that state, excuse me, I sleep. When I seemingly wake Tomorrow, I am 59. So 54 years old, Neville was. I was born in 1905. I was not awake. When I awake tomorrow, it's nighttime. There are still confusions. All these things are the birth pains. But it's coming to pass, it's coming to birth. And finally that thing will actually be born in my world and I will have it. But I'm still asleep. I can. I can't tell anyone. The shock to live for 50, well, that happened in 1905. So 54. To be here for 54 years believing that every morning, 59. So 54 years old Neville was. I was born in 1905. I was born in 1905. So 54. To Be here for 54 years believing that every morning I was awake. The same timeline in my experience, by the way. And at night when I went to bed to sleep, I slept, had dreams. The next day I awoke, went about my normal duties, and that night I slept again. And to find out after 54 years that I had been asleep all the time and didn't know it. So for me, that latter end of my 54th year before turning 55 is when I. Is when my coof the wind experience. Right before I turned 55. Yeah, right now I was awake. The same timeline in my experience by. Let me do the fast math. I'm sorry, 5,000, 556. What would that be? The way. And at night when I went to bed to sleep, I slept, had dreams. The next day I woke, went about my normal duties. And that night I slept again. And to find out after 54 years that I had been asleep all the time and didn't know it, that would be 202. Let me do the math. Oh boy. 56 for him is 54. Yeah, 56 for me. Yes, correct. And to find out after 54 years that I had been asleep all the time and didn't know it, one night to find that this intense vibration, this electrical charge beyond the wildest dream is placed upon me as though someone took a wand, a magic wand, and placed it to my head and then just kept it there. And I'm waking for the first time in 6,000 years. So for me, that latter end of my 54th year, before turning, I've been sleeping that long. All of a sudden, he's putting it to my head and I'm awakened. Magic wand in 55 is when I. Is when my coof awake. O slight. The wind experience. Right before I turn. 55. Yeah. Right. Let me do the fast math. I'm sorry. Deeper. And where do I wake in? Kuf. Right in my skull. And where do I come out? Kuf. The base of my skull. Therefore, who then was in that state of Abraham? Well, that's what he is. He's a hundred years old, has white hair. And the journey was on the cross. 400 years, and the journey is here. You come out and detach yourself from the cross because you see it on the bed, the ghastly pale thing. And that was the cross from which you have been detached, from which you've been resurrected. And then comes the symbol of your birth in an entirely different plane, a different world. And those who belong here come and they can't see you because you are not at that moment, you are not in this world. Referring to the witnesses. 55, 56. What would that be? That would be 202. Let me do the math. Oh, 56. They're in the world of 3D. He wasn't in that world in that moment, but for the unfinished. For him, it's 54. Yeah. Finished business. You pick up that cross and carry it for another few years to tell the story as it happened to you. To deny. Yes. To refute those who are the blind leading the blind. If the blind led the blind, they both fall into the ditch. And you can be blind as a bat and be the leader of 600 million. You know, 56 for me. Yes. Correct. Let no one tell you that because you have medals on you or that you wear crowns made by human hands, or that you have honors heaped upon you that you are awake. I mean, you really got to ask yourself. I mean, he pretty much nailed it. And to find out after 54 years that I had been asleep all the time and didn't know it, one night, to find that this intense vibration, this electrical charge beyond the wildest dream, is placed upon me as though someone took a wand, a magic wand, and placed it to my head. Down already, but we just. I don't know how they do this. They elected, I believe, a new Pope. I was at the Vatican last year. So I mean, I looked around. It was pretty bitching place, don't get me wrong. And I was raised Catholic, so I say all this in jest, but I wonder, has the mystery been revealed? And do they? Anybody on that panel who are in the running to be elected to the Pope? I forget the titles that he.
