The Friend Of Sinners – Neville Goddard (04-24-1964) | Full Reading + Commentary

Neville Goddard 1964 lectures the Friend of Sinners April 24, 1964. This is going to be good. You can totally tell just by the title what might happen here. Tonight's subject is the Friend of Sinners. I think you will find this a very interesting subject. It may be difficult, but you'll find it interesting. We are told, call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. We're told in the same book, the Bible, there is only one Savior, and that Savior is Jehovah. Before me no God was formed, nor will there be any after me. I. I am the Lord, and beside me there is no Savior. It is I who blot out your sins and remove your transgressions. You read this in the 43rd of Isaiah, verse 3. No other savior. So he must be the one spoken of in the Old Testament as Jehovah. And he is the word spells the same thing and means the same thing. So let us tonight see it in a practical light. You and I are inclined to believe that if something is wrong with us, it's caused by something on the outside. Maybe our circumstances of life, our surroundings, something, but something on the outside. And this is where. If you believe that, this is where you put some salt on the wound or you're forced to take the red pill. If you believe it's something on the outside that has caused your life to be what it is, then you're riding the horse of victimization. You've not yet got your leg over the other horse, which is, I am the creator of my reality. Just understand that. That's okay. You're only in a state. You're going to leave that state and you're going to go to the other state, where you create consciously rather than think or believe that it's happening to you. You start to transform into a person who believes it's happening from you, by you, with intent. And yet the Bible teaches that all of our troubles, it starts moving up. As it moves up, it breaks that earth and it is born. Then it starts ascending, moving towards the heavens, as told us in the fourth chapter of the book of Daniel, verses 10 through 12. So here she tells me the story that only recently, sitting in the silence, reflecting upon her thoughts, suddenly I appear in her skull. Lifelike, not some little miniature. And this lady is an artist. So when she speaks of being lifelike, she speaks of a live model. Because this lady is an artist who draws and paints from live objects, yet still life too, but live objects. And here I appear as a live model. She knows the man. And I look directly at her and I say to her, may I tell you, you are looking at the problem instead of the wish fulfilled. And to her, the thing was so alive and real, she agreed and heard herself answer, you're right. So here in this story I share with you, we are one. The being in you is God, and you are God. I am God. Everyone is God. You'll find the whole vast world contained within yourself. But he who is awake in the entire unfolding picture will speak the words to you, because you and he are one. And you simply begin to listen as he tells you where you are going wrong. You are not abiding by the word of God. This is having a serious impact on this morning's dream. It's redefining that jet of truth. But I will share that with you at the end of the video. For sin is simply disobedience, not obeying the word of God. Well, the word of God is when you know what you want in this world, believe that you have it. If you don't assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you are not abiding by the word of God. And so, in this moment, she is not asleep. She is sitting in meditation. She is fully aware of what she is doing. And while she is reflecting on her thoughts, suddenly this thing happens in her skull. Now, another letter came, came today. He's here tonight. He said, two months ago, I sat and deliberately conceived a scene. He said, I'm very fond of flying in jets. And so I conceived a scene of flying in a jet. But then I included my family, my little daughter, 8 years old. And so I imagine that my wife and my daughter and I were simply animated, all excited because we were going to go someplace. Excuse me. Then, with all the animation around and the excitement of going someplace, I then jumped from that little episode, one little scene to the airport, where at the terminal, I'm explaining to my daughter the excitement of flying on a jet. Then from the terminal, I am on the jet. I'm only talking to my daughter. And I'm speaking to Lynn. And I'm telling Lynn of the scenes below as we take off, as the jet takes off, I am explaining the entire structure below. And that's it. Three little episodes, getting ready for a journey. Then the terminal, and then the flight as we take off. That's two months ago. A month later, I said to my wife, you know, April 3rd is dad's and daughter's day. And so I'm taking off with Lynn, just the two of us. And she and I will have the whole day together. My wife thought that was an excellent idea, to go off just you and Lynn. So came the 11th day of April, which is called Dads and Daughters Day, which I didn't know until today. And so they got up early and they're all dressed, and they started off to have breakfast on the outside. No breakfast at home. This is going to be a whole day where they'd have fun on the outside, he said. I hadn't the foggiest idea what I would do with Lynn for the whole day. I knew I had plotted it and planned it, but I didn't know what to do with her. I thought I could go to a movie after breakfast, and then we'd fly to the beach, and then we'd have lunch. And so I started off with Lynn, and I'm driving down the San Diego Freeway, and right on the freeway, the most overpowering thought possesses me. Go over to the airport and fly to San Diego. I couldn't resist the impulse. It was something that completely controlled me. So off to the airport I went. My wife had a date that day with the hairdresser. So she went her way. Just Lynn and myself went to the airport. We flew to San Diego. Then I took a taxi to the zoo, and she and I took in the entire zoo. Everything the zoo had to show. San Diego's got an amazing. I think it's called San Diego Wild Animal Park. Still went there about 10 years ago, 12 years ago, maybe. Very, very hot day. It's a very hot day. It's got some amazing, amazing attractions. We saw a lion. We saw the giraffes. We saw so much amazing stuff there. I highly recommend it. Highly, highly recommended. I think it's still called San Diego Al Deno Park. Very worth seeing. We flew to San Diego, Then I took it. Then I took a taxi to the zoo, and she and I took in the entire zoo. Everything the zoo had to show. Then from the zoo, we walked a half a mile up to the Fine Arts Hall. And after having seen that, I was dead tired. My feet just wouldn't move. And I was so tired and my feet were so sore. So having driven from the airport to the zoo by taxi, I thought we'd get a taxi and go back to the airport. And go back to the airport, but no taxi in sight. So I turned to my lady. I'm sorry, I turned to a lady and said, can I get a taxi? She said, you wouldn't find one. If you do see one, it's already Occupied, but three blocks from here, three very long blocks, there is a booth, you may call for one. He said, I wouldn't move three feet. I was so tired. And so at that moment I had the impulse, I've got it, I've got to do something. Can't stand here. So he said, well, I turned to Lynn, I said, you know, Lynn, let us now play the game. We're going to. We're getting into a taxi. Let us play the game. Lynn, his 8 year old daughter, we're getting into a taxi. Let us actually put ourselves right into a taxi and start for the airport. She said that she really loved these things and she delights in it. So she actually entered into the feeling of getting into a taxi together. They did it. He said, within a minute a yellow cab came by. I hailed him. He stopped to say that he had a fare. There were four people waiting for him at some other point. But he would get in touch with the base and have a taxi for them in no time flat. In a matter of moments he'd called in and a taxi came and off they went. But before this taxi came, he had the impulse. He was so tired and so sore afoot, he said, well, I've got to start towards the phone booth anyway. And the minute he entertained that thought, he said no. He denied it completely, denied what the woman said about you can't get a taxi and did what he did. Straight to the law every time. Straight to the law every time. Don't doubt the lady who told him about no taxi. They're all occupied. You got to walk over there, three long blocks. He's full of doubt. What is doubt? Doubt is the devil it's trying to strip away. Your use of the law is your law is conditional. Using the law is conditional based on the operant power, which is you right here. You're the operant power. It's a conditional thing. Doubt deflates that completely. He didn't buy into her doubt, he went straight to the law. What happened? Gets a taxi, didn't go walking anywhere. Now, you've heard the word in scripture. You've heard it from the pulpit. You've heard it all over the world. Antichrist, you've heard it. You must have heard Antichrist. Well, in essence, Antichrist is only an idea or a person in history who denies the Christian mystery. The Christian mystery is simply imagining, creates reality. The Christian mystery is simply imagining, creates reality. That's the whole mystery. You did not need to go to some college and get a four year degree then off to Another college for two or four more years of memorizing stuff. To realize the entire mystery is summed up in three words. The entire Christian mystery. You didn't need to go study in the basement of the Vatican. Imagining creates reality. Hmm. And all that is told in the story concerning how imagination is born and how he awakens. How imagination awakens as the being in whom he. So I'm taking off with Lynn, just the two of us, and she and I will have the whole day together. My wife thought that was an excellent idea, to go off just you and Lynn. So came the 11th day of April, which is called Dads and Daughters Day, which I didn't know until today. And so they got up early and they're all dressed, and they started off to have breakfast on the outside. No breakfast at home. This is going to be a whole day where they'd have fun on the outside, he said. I hadn't the foggiest idea what I would do with Lynn for the whole day.

It's got some amazing, amazing attractions. We saw a lion. We saw the giraffes. We saw so much amazing stuff there. I highly recommend it. Highly, highly recommend it. I think it's still called San Diego Al Deno Park. Very worst scene. We flew to San Diego, then I took it. Then I took a taxi to the zoo, and she and I took in the entire zoo, everything the zoo had to show. Then from the zoo, we walked a half a mile up to the Fine Arts Hall. After having seen that, I was dead tired. My feet just Wouldn't move. And I was so tired and my feet were so sore. So having driven from the airport to the zoo by taxi, I thought we'd get a taxi and go back to the airport. And go back to the airport, but no taxi in sight. So I turned to my lady, I'm sorry, I turned to a lady and said, can I get a taxi? She said, you wouldn't find one. If you do see one, it's already occupied.

Doubt is the devil. It's trying to strip away your use of the law. Your law is conditional, using the law as conditional based on the operant power, which is you right here. You're the operant power. It's a conditional thing. Doubt deflates that completely. He didn't buy into her doubt. He went straight to the law. What happened? Gets a taxi, didn't go walking anywhere. Now, you've heard the word in scripture, you've heard it from the pulpit. You've heard it all over the world. Antichrist. You've heard it. You must have heard Antichrist. Well, in essence, Antichrist is only an idea or a person in history who denies the Christian mystery. The Christian mystery is simply imagining creates reality. The Christian mystery is simply imagining creates reality. That's the whole mystery. You did not need to go to some college and get a four year degree, then off to another college for two or four more years of memorizing stuff to realize the entire mystery is summed up in three words, the entire Christian mystery. He didn't need to go study in the basement of the Vatican. Imagining creates reality. Hmm. And all that is told in the story concerning how imagination is born, how he awakens, how imagination awakens as the being in whom he awakens. Now he's born. Excuse me, how he's born, how he discovers the fatherhood of God and how he ascends on high. And so at that very moment, when he rejected the idea of walking up to put in that call, he rejected and turned his back upon the devil called Antichrist. I was just mentioning doubt the same thing. There is no other devil. Antichrist is only the individual or the idea that would deny the truth of the Christian mystery. That imagining creates reality. This great story as told in the world. So that very moment he turns his back and once more called upon the great mystery. And with his daughter, they entered into the taxi. We had this in 2019. We were on the Rhine river on a cruise, my wife, her father and myself, going from Basel, Switzerland all the way up to Amsterdam. And while in Strasbourg, instead of taking a tour or anything, we went to a cathedral, the big, the one cathedral there, checked it out, then went on a walkabout around town. I mean, it was incredible. Most of the time on the Rhine river, you're in Germany on your stops. But in this case, you stop in Germany on the right side, starboard side of the boat, whatever, you're going up. It's an odd thing, you're going down river, upriver. It's very weird to go through a lot of locks, you know, those water level things. It's very odd the way this river, the Rhine river works. But you're heading to Amsterdam, which is north the whole time, from Basel to Amsterdam, stopping at Strike Strasbourg. You stop on the German, Germany side, apparently, where the cigarettes are not taxed because everyone's coming from Strasbourg, France to buy cigarettes. Strasbourg, I guess, used to be Germany. There's a long history there, World War II stuff, all that, blah, blah, Blah. But we went walking all over and then we're like, oh no, we better get back to the boat because it's getting close to that time where they're gonna take off. It was like four o', clock, you know, you had to be on board before 4. And it's like 3:30. It's getting to be 3:40. And there's this taxi stand right in downtown Strasbourg where the taxi stand is. There's no phone and there's no taxis. We did not know this game. This is 2019. I entered into Neville in 2022, January 1st. So we didn't know this game. So what does my wife do? She does what very smart, intelligent person at her caliber does. She goes, we need to find the nearest hotel. Because at the at a hotel they'll have a taxi that fast. And I go, I never even thought, I never even, never even crossed my mind. Walk a couple blocks, there's a hotel right there. Go in, they have a taxi there. Within a minute we're off to the boat. We arrive at 3:55, right when we walk back on that boat. It's one of those long boats, those low ones that go under all the bridges on the Rhine River. Fun, fun type of thing. They're pulling the gang plane in as we walk across because they were really literally going to leave and we just barely made it. But like he got the taxi. My wife had it in her imagination. I'm sure she did because she was being very creative in that moment. I'm sure that she saw us back on that boat and it not leaving without us because her dad was already on the boat. He didn't stay out walking about, he stayed on the boat. So I'm sure she saw that, which is what led the creative impulse for the hotel and the taxi stand at the hotel, which of course a hotel is going to have a taxi pretty quick because they're kind of service oriented with each other. So that's just the nature of that. But those little impulses, those little creativities, those are imagination. That's him. That's when you know him and you're using him. Creativity is in flux. Impulse is creativity. Creativity and imagination are impulse. She was using it, my wife, wonderfully, because we got back just. I want to throw that taxi story in there. The previous sentence is, there is no other devil. Antichrist is only the individual or the idea that would deny the truth, truth of the Christian mystery, this great story as told in the world. So that very moment he turns his back and once More called upon the great mystery. And with his daughter they entered into the taxi. They did it here first, remember? Then within a minute, here comes the other taxi, right straight towards them and said, I have a fare waiting for me. There's a foursome and I. So I must go. But I will call the base and have a cab sent to you. Within a minute that taxi came and then relayed the message. So sin by definition is missing the mark. If there's anything you want to do, you want to brand that into your brain because that is what sin means. Sin means, by definition, missing the mark as part of the vocabulary here in this Neville world. Brand that into your brain. Anyone in this world who has a mark, unobjective, a goal in this world who fails to realize it is sinning. And so sin. A man sins only for want of faith in I am He. So we are told in the eighth of John. I have told you that you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he. Before me no God was formed, nor shall there be any God after me. I, I am he. And beside me there is no Savior. I, I am he who blots out your transgressions and remembers your sins no more. There is no other being. So you must excuse me. So you meet one in this world. You think you are saving another or helping another. There is no other. This whole vast world is yourself fragmented. The whole vast world is yourself completely fragmented. Did she not see me in her skull? Now the world will think that I am at home on my bed. And physically I was. But being awake to this great mystery, I could speak the word to her which really. Which was really not another. It's myself. She and I are one. Now that. Now that she. Now that she has made me aware of that which on this level I was not aware. The two things that she now finds difficult, they are my problems because she is fragmented. She is my fragmented self, seeing within me this being who now becomes aware of this inner self. I can now quite easily imagine that she has what in her letter, she told me that she don't. That. Don't tell it from the platform. These are simply for you and you alone. And so it's easy now to hear that she has what she now desires. Because really I'm not doing it for another. There is no other before me. There is no God formed, nor thou, nor shall there be any God after me. Isaiah 43:10. There's no such thing as a twosome in God. I gotta tell you a story today. This Hit me. Two homeless persons I experienced today. One asked me directly a question, if I could help feed him lunch for today. To whom I've answered, no, but I heard the words and I saw his face, and I saw his blue eyes. Then I get to a street intersection and I. And I know. And I'm busy, so I don't imagine lovingly right there. So I drive a couple blocks down by the light, and there's. And there's a kid. Really, he's maybe 20. Maybe he's 22, 25. He's got a nice big beard, hands are very dirty. Has a sign, a hilarious sign. Another blue eyes. Very, very rich blue eyes. Sign says, too ugly to prostitute. Too honest to steal. I sat there and I'm like, man, that sign was crafty. I mean, crafty. It is the kind of sign you just. You. If I'm going to get a laugh. He just made me laugh. Why don't I want to give him a dollar or whatever I have in my pocket? Why wouldn't I? I really did laugh pretty good. That sign was hilarious. And it was. It was interesting because I go, okay, now. Now that I've read the sign, I'm laughing. Why is he staring away from me? Because I did catch him when I first pulled up. Caught what he looked like, caught his eyes, caught his face. So that's all I need to go into my imagining lovingly. But then the whole time, sitting there at the light, he's staring back like this, like, you're the. I'm in the car right there, and he's doing this with the sign. And he's. I'm like, why is he not looking down to the cars with the cars are all forming behind me? And I'm like, what doesn't he want again? It's one of those situations. But I already saw his face. So I start to make my turn right by him, and he's doing this, and I'm like, he's hiding his face, but I already saw it. So at that moment, I go into my imagining. Leavenly for the first guy, these happen within minutes of each other. So I'm like. I'm like, it's my duty. It's just like what we're talking about here. Now that she has made me aware of that, which on this level, I was not aware. The two things that she now finds difficult, they are my problems because she is my fragmented self. These two guys were my fragmented self. Their problem is. My problem is if I consent and I reflect what their problem is. If by giving them money, for instance, then I'm consenting to their dilemma. I'm literally cementing and consenting and reflecting their dilemma. But not doing that. I imagine lovingly, then I construct a different reality in my fragmented self. I constructed in my consciousness. Both of them tell me about their new wonderful opportunities, about the new place that they're staying, about doing something that they have all the freedom in the world to do and they love to do it. Etc. Etc. Etc. I did them individually, both of them. I was high fiving and hugging, especially hugging the second guy. And I knew they were me in my imagining. I knew they were me. If you saw yourself in fifth grade crashing on your bike and skinning your knee, wouldn't you go over and help yourself? In my imagining, I knew they were me. You would. So you can't even. You can't even pretend not to answer that. It's automatic. It's all you. What Neville is saying right here, it's all you. Everything is. You pushed out everyone as you pushed out. So if you've constructed it to be the way it was, you encountered it because you did. It's your problem now. What do you do with your problem? You put some imagination to it. You use the law. You imagine lovingly. Period. Simple. What did it cost me? I was already idling at a red light. There is no other before me. There was no God formed, nor shall there be any God after me. Isaiah 43:10. There is no such thing as as a twosome in God. It's fragmented into unnumbered parts. But all will be gathered together. And only one God. For he'll become one king over all the earth. And on that day his name is One, and the Lord is one, not two. And that is called in Scripture Jesus, which means really I am. So everyone is awakening to the being that really is, which is the only God. So call him Jesus, because He will save his people from their sins. Now we are told, against Thee, the only have I sinned, and I have done that which is evil in thy sight. So you are just in your sentence, and that which you've done is justified. Verse 4. You read that in the 51st Psalm against thee, Thee only have I sinned. Man thinks he sins against another. There is no other. He only sins against the being I am so he would like to see you in some better light. And he doesn't see you in some better light against the and the only have I sinned, not you. The one he wants to see in a better light, but against Himself. He hasn't yet learned the art of repentance. The earliest scripture, which is Mark, begins on the note in his first proclamation the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel. 1:15. Repent seems to be a prerequisite for any change in this world of ours. And repentance simply means a radical change of attitude towards life. So I see you and you tell me what you would like to be. And if I simply become indifferent and I don't persuade myself that you are the one that you have just voiced that you would like to be. It is my sin because I am now sinning against myself. Against Thee. The only have I sinned for I have just seen a fragmented portion of my being in want of. Of something. And there's only one God before me. No God was formed, nor shall there be any after me. Let's repeat this. So I see you and you tell me what you would like to be. And if I simply become indifferent and I don't persuade myself that you are the one that you have just voiced that you would like to be. It is my sin because I am now sinning against myself. Against Thee. And the only have I sinned for. I have just seen a fragmented portion of my being in want of something. And there is only one God before me. No God was formed, nor shall there be any after me. Alright. So he turned to me, that portion of myself and said he would like a better job, he would like more money, he would like a measure of happiness and that he's. In the end, he would like a measure of happiness that he's never enjoyed. He's made me aware of that aspect of myself of which I was not aware. Because I dwell in him and he dwells in me. We are one. This is a page that needs a post. It. Well, if I now become indifferent and do nothing about it, just simply go my way, then I have sinned. At the moment of becoming aware of his need, I should represent him to myself as now the embodiment of that which he would like to be. Persuade myself of the reality of that imaginal impact. Excuse me. That imaginal act. Excuse me. And to the degree that I am self persuaded, like the gentleman who simply played three scenes here, all in his imagination, he's now excited. He's going off on a jaunt with his daughter. He includes the wife only in the first scene of the three. And she does. She leaves the house with them, but she has to go to the beauty parlor. But in the two scenes that follow, he only has his daughter, Lynn. And so in the second scene, it's the terminal where he's all excited, they're getting ready to go. And then in the third scene, he's in the. He's in the plane, they're airborne. And he's describing the land below to a little girl, eight years old. These are the three exciting scenes he said in his letter. The reason my wife didn't join us. I didn't include her in the second and third scene. I had no reason for excluding her. I. I would have loved to have had her. But strangely enough, since I have heard this story of imagination, when she and I get together and start to discuss, she's always trying to bring up to me the facts of life as against these things of imagination. Well, he said, I do to her what I did to the lady at the Fine Arts Building. She told him what she said about the cab. I. I didn't hear her. And so my wife talks back, talks to me about the facts, and I don't hear her. He, Simon Peters her. Oh, man. And I love her dearly. I'm passionately fond of my wife. I love her dearly, but I don't hear her. Her. She wants to convince me of the reality of the facts of life. And I will have none of it. I simply went on this thing. But strangely enough, I was not only airborne, I was landed. I was in the zoo. I had almost completed the zoo when suddenly it dawned on me what I had done the month before. For this happened to him, in actual fact, on the 11th of April, it was a month before that he set the whole thing in motion. That's how short our memories are. Between doing it and realizing it, he had completely forgotten. He went right through the entire thing like an actor stepping on the stage. And he forgets. Well, he has to, to be a good actor. He must forget he's acting and lose himself in the part. Well, so he was the author, he wrote the scene, he directed the scene, he became the actor in the scene and then stepped upon the stage and completely forgot that he was the author, the director, and thought himself only an actor. And well, very well rehearsed. So you and I play the same role in this world. You can be anything in this world that you want to be. If you know who God is. And you can't sin against another, you can only sin against God. And so our sin is simply the lack of faith in I am he, you will believe. Remember the homeless guys? I am He. I am He. His problem is my problem. His want is my want. Who's responsible response Able. And so our sin is simply the lack of faith in I am He. You will believe in everyone else, but I am. You will call this one, or write that one, or get in touch with someone else in the hope that they can do it. And the only being that can do it is I am. So you are told. You will die in your sins unless you believe that I am He. This is a mystery. A fantastic mystery. But the day will come that you will discover as the lady had her. As the lady had, by her story discovered, that I am not another. I stand here and talk to her. She's here tonight. I talk to her. She's a very gentle, tender lady. And she'll wait and I'll shake her hand. We go downstairs occasionally together. But she thinks I'm another. I hope tonight she knows I am not another. When you saw me in your skull, that's where God awakes. That's where he's crucified. And so he spoke to you using the mask of what you know to be Neville. He used the mask. The mask is the personality. The Persona is the mask. And so he puts on the mask and tells you, yet this moment you are not really obedient to the law. Because I see that you're looking at the problem instead of the wish fulfilled. And so everyone must have an objective and see it clearly in his mind's eye and see it fulfilled. Fulfilled. Remember, there's two Seth books in his. Eight books called Value Fulfillment Part one and Value Fulfillment Part two. Why are there books called Value Fulfillment? Boom. Then from then on, regardless of all rumor, remain faithful to that end, your fulfillment fulfilled. Whatever it is, seeing it fulfilled, regardless of all rumor, remain faithful to that end, the wish fulfilled. And he never sins. Then if you remain faithful to your wish fulfilled, you will not hear these channels on this thing called TV or news or whatever it is, there's a lot of noise that would like to have your attention. Because your attention is the most valuable thing you have. It is literally what people perpetuate. All kinds of games to keep your attention. And if you give them your attention, you've consented to what they're selling you in the way of what the story is. Is the world ending? Is the ocean going to take away California? Is the earthquake coming? Is the tornado going to blast again? Every single thing that's in those things called the news, north, east, west and south has you looking in every direction except one. Your attention is the most valuable thing you have. If you're putting it out there, you should expect nothing less than what out there has to offer. That simple. If you put it in here, you go in your closet and shut the door and pray to him in secret. He shall reward you openly. He's going to hear you in secret. He's going to reward you openly. There shouldn't be enough room at all to receive the gifts after you go in your closet and pray to him in secret. It's so simple. You see the wish fulfilled. You see yourself in the wish fulfilled. You feel it while you fall asleep. He rewards you openly by making it your reality. A bridge of incidence occurs, and all of a sudden there's the Rolls Royce in your driveway, the crazy green color. And so he comes into the world to save man from sin. That's all. He comes not to call those who are righteous to repentance, not the righteous, those who are complacent, but the sinners to repentance. And so I say. I say time and again, religious faith must be tested. It must be tested. If it isn't tested, it becomes some simple, oh, well, emotionalism, creedalism, call it by a thousand names. It's some liturgy where some outside ceremony takes place. Rather than putting it to the test, you must put it to the test. Religious faith must be tested as much as any other should be tested, such as my intelligence should be tested. If I go on a job, give me an aptitude test. Test me to see if I'm qualified to fill the job. You do that well. Religious faith should be tested in the same manner. So we say imagining creates reality. That's the foundation. And then try to show you in numberless aspects how it works. What have we been talking about in all and every single one of these videos? Almost every single sentence, the same exact thing. Right there. And then ask you to share with me what you did and how it worked with you. And then I can tell others what you did. Then we. Then we become richer this way, on the same principle. Imagining is creating reality. Well, if I make that bold statement and you prove it, tell me how you proved it so that I can tell another. I have proved it time and time again. I live by it. I try to live by it. And if I forget what I do this morning in my imaginal act, I. I know, regardless of my lack of memory, it's going to come anyway, that tomorrow it will come up. I may not even recognize my harvest, but I cannot encounter something that I did not bring into this world. Because God is not mocked. Be not afraid, be not ashamed. God is not mocked. As you sow, so shall you reap. Galatians 6, 7. And so you sit in the silence and you plant it. And then it comes. It may take a day. In a gentleman's case, it took a month. In the ladies case, there were 13 case histories. She didn't tell me the nature of the case history or the time interval between the actual doing and the actual reaping. She didn't know. I hope someday she'll share with me the 13 that she simply mentioned as 13 objectives that she realized in the most minute detail, the two that seemed at the moment to stick with her. She confesses that they go back in time, and because they go back and they've been over a period of years, they seem to be more of a problem. But may I tell her it's no more than the 13 that you realize so easily if you'll treat it in the same manner. There is no past. You're only building it there. You're building it right now, actually, and it's just right there. And so the friend of sinners is called in scripture, Jesus. If I could only convince you that you are Jesus. You may not know it, but you are Jesus. There is only Jesus in the world. God became man. That man may become God. And there is no other God. There's only one God. Jesus is God. He's buried in you. And say, I am. That's Jesus. But you do not know it. But the day will come. You will know it by a series of events that I have night after night told you. Because when these begin to unfold within you, it has come through the earth called man. One of her visions, which is very lovely vision, she says, sitting in the silence. This has happened to me now three times. The first time it happens, I thought I saw through my skull a crack. Lovely vision. And it was so exciting. I wanted to. I knew something wonderful, more wonderful than anything I've ever experienced before, was going to take place. I felt like pulling myself through it. And then the whole thing vanished. And the second time it happened, a crack. But this time in another part of my body, from my solar plexus right through to the heart. Another crack. Then the third time in the skull began, but the crack deepened. May I congratulate you? You are the earth. The word Adam means red Earth. Doesn't mean anything else. And God became man. Adam. And then he planted himself in the earth called man. And while in this earth it grows, it Stirs and becomes alive. As it becomes alive, it cracks the surface of the earth and all of a sudden you will see through from below, there will be light. You will crack it and crack it and crack it. And finally you'll come out. When you come out, you are Christ Jesus. There is only Christ Jesus in the world. So everyone in this world is simply God, awakening God, unfolding so to sin. You don't sin because of any so called violation of a moral code. You have an objective in this world and you fail to realize it. You are sinning. That's isn't any moral code or nothing to do with that nature. If you have a target and you're not aimed at it, that's sinning. You will change your objectives. When you know we are only one, you will have no objective of hurting any being in this world. When you know we are one, you'll have no objective of getting the better of another. When you know we are one, you don't need to get the better of anyone in this world. There is no other. You simply have objectives. You need money. It need not be at the expense of others. You need a bigger home, a more secure future, not at the expense of another. You simply have the objective in itself. And take your mind off the problem and try not to solve it by thinking and rationalizing it. Go to the solution of the problem and then dwell on the wish fulfilled. Not how you're going to do it, where's the money going to come from, how you're going to get it. Just dwell in the end. And the end is where we must all start from. And the end is my beginning. I start in the end. That was shown me so vividly a couple years ago where I saw this fantastic story. I was taken in spirit into this palatial home. And here I saw this family. Two generations and a third. They spoke of a third, but the third was the oldest. Unseen by the eye of man, he had gone from the world. But he left a fortune. And they now, in that they now enjoyed it, was well invested. And they lived on this fortune. They would speak of this one who had made the fortune. And they called him Grandfather. They said Grandfather used to say while standing on an empty lot, I remember when. And then he would paint a word picture for this lot and paint it so vividly that those who listened to him saw the structure rise in their mind's eye. He never thereafter thought of this place in any other way other than the end that he saw. So he would always say, I remember when this was an empty lot. And to him, he's standing on an empty lot. But it was no longer an empty lot. It was simply the structure he desired. And you can do that with everything in this world. So I awoke. It was a little after three in the morning. And I took my yellow page and I wrote out my vision, went back to bed and re dreamed the dream. But this time, I was Grandfather.
