The Law Of Liberty – Neville Goddard (03-13-1964) | Full Reading + Commentary

Neville Goddard, 1964 lectures the Law of Liberty, March 13, 1964. Tonight's subject is the law of liberty. In this present series, I'm asking everyone to try it, test it, and then share with us the result. That I am in turn. That I in turn, will then share with others what you have proved by this wonderful law of ours. Lord Lindsay once said to a group of clergymen, you ministers are making a mistake in your pulpits. You're arguing for Christianity, and no one wants to hear your arguments. You ought to be witnessing, does this thing work? Then share it with the rest of us. And so that's what I'm asking you to do. Share it. I tell you, it works. We have found that which the whole vast world's been seeking, and it works. But you'll not know it by just hearing about it. To be convinced, you must test it and prove it. And you can prove it. Now we turn to the great book, the Bible. You judge, to what extent you accept it, the testimony of Jesus. For we repeat here, night after night, that it's very important that we hear the testimony of Jesus and respond to it. You know, I gotta interject this. I just put up a short death on. I'm sorry, Blake on Death, which we're about to get into. And I haven't read this yet, but I don't know which direction it's gonna go. But that short video I just put up just before this, I think I'm making it into a regular video as well. It's Blake on Death from the previous lecture. Let's see what the name of that lecture is. Just so you have a reference, that's the previous one to this. Who are the condemned? Right in the middle of that lecture, at about minute 22, somewhere in there, Blake goes into this little piece and it is so grand. Where is my spot? So he's saying here it's very important that we hear the testimony of Jesus and respond to it. And he's about to go into Blake again. And that short, I put a Blake on Death. And it's about that title I just, just said from that, from that lecture, the one before this. The whole reason I made that a short and made that a specific clip or cut, whatever, is because it at first can seem difficult to go from a world where you think Jesus or God is an outside thing to a world where you realize just imagining means you're walking with him. So all children the world over who are in the throes of imagination, or any creative person whatsoever, any age when you're in the throes of creativity, you're with him. There's no not being with him. If you study the law videos carefully, you'll see what Neville very much wonderfully described was that you're not really separate from him ever. I am is him. I am is the name of God, and that's him. He's in. You can never be separated from you. I am what I am bountiful, I am abundant, I am wealthy, I am healthy. I'm happily married, I'm in love, I'm free. Those are the I ams. You want to be following up the phrase I am with that, not any of those negatives. And I'm not even going to give them voice. But you know what they are. It could be things like hungry, sad. It could be a whole list of things you don't want to follow that phrase with. Even if you have to fake it. Even if you have to fake it, you're still putting in the effort because you're staking a claim in this new direction. The other one will wither and die. And the new one, since you've pruned that vine, once you give the I Am to the new stake the claim, it will happen and it is going to happen. But you have to. You have. You. You're the operant power. So you have to stake the claim in the new direction. So that clip back to that is. It's. It's until you realize that the word Jesus Christ or Jesus or Christ or God, until you realize it's. It's a reference to an active imagining you continually. It's easy, excuse me, not everybody, but it's easy to see the word Jesus Christ or the word God or these phrases. It's easy to see them as an outside thing that you're not part of, but it's in fact always been an inside thing. And all we're doing in this whole body of work with Neville is trying to awaken to the fact that, wait, it's on the inside. That's where its activity is. It's always been there. We're just awakening to it consciously that when you're in the throes of imagining lovingly, you're with him literally. So as he said in reference in that clip, even if you're in a bar and you have a drink in front of you and a couple drinks in you, if you can shut out the bar, or when you do shut out the bar and you're imagining lovingly for somebody or anybody, you're with him literally, you're with Jesus Christ. And in that moment in that bar, because he's in here, not out here, it's a very big leap to take. And I wanted to make an effort to mention that short clip and that last lecture before this, how profound that whole piece is in the middle of that lecture. It's worth going back and review if you haven't seen it yet, back to this one. The Law of Liberty. For we repeat here, night after night that it's very important that we hear the testimony of Jesus and respond to it again every time we read a Bible quote or scripture or story. It's written as a story, but it's a metaphor. It's an allegory. It's not a literal thing. But churchianity, the blue bloods would like you to think it's literal. It's not literal. It's symbolical. It's never been literal. It's actually actively happening. And the symbols in the story, it symbolizes something deeper. So then I make the claim here, quoting Blake, that all you behold, though it appears without it, is within, in your imagination, of which this world is of the. Excuse me, let me repeat the quote. All that you behold, though it appears without it, is within, in your imagination, of which this world of mortality is but a shadow. And I mean that literally. This is not just a lovely poetical thought duly expressed by Blake. He meant it literally. And so the Bible makes this statement. You will read it in the sixth chapter of the Book of John. It's really called the Chapter of Secession. Because in this chapter a bold claim is repeated throughout the chapter. And in the very end, they ceded, they seceded. And the statement that caused it was this. No one can come unto me unless the Father who sent Me draws him. And I will raise you up at the last day. Verse 44. And then we are told he asked a very simple question. And suppose you saw the Son of Man ascending into heaven, verse 63. There was no response. No one believed him. And then he said, that's why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted him by the Father. No one. And then he said of the evangelist writing the story. He is now editorializing. And so he said, and Jesus knew from the first who those were who did not believe and who it was that should betray him. Verse 64 knew it from the first who did not believe and who should betray. Now we read the story carefully. And he said. He repeats again, no one come unto me unless the Father who sent Me draws Him the Then we are told that many, at this point, many of the disciples turned back, never to walk with him again, never to go with him again. Well, who are the disciples who turned back? They couldn't go all the way. They came part of the way, but they couldn't go all the way. Now, no man judges you, for the drama is taking place in us, as I just mentioned, we hear the testimony. We hear it either from a platform or we read it in the book. Or maybe we have the experience. But to what extent can we go all the way? We are told that there is a law, the law of identical harvest, that be not deceived, God is not mocked. For as a man sows, so shall he reap. Galatians 6:7 and then we are told, and the Lord said, let the earth put forth vegetation, plants bearing seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit, in which is their seed, each according to its kind. Genesis 1:11, no variation. Each according to its kind. Now, I think the whole vast world will accept that in the vegetable world, and they'll come into this animal world and accept it that doves produce doves, men produce men, and women produce, well, men really. And so we can take that law in the natural world and see that it does work. Can we step beyond that boundary and take it now in the mental world? Good one. Can we now actually perform a mental act, an imaginal act, and observe the working of it, and then admit when we see the fruit that the imaginal act was the seed planted by us, and the thing now we see reflecting is it is really the offspring or the fruit of it? Can we accept it? Well, we may. I trust that everyone here will accept that. I think that the majority of you will. That's why you're here. But can you go further and say, no, man, and this literally now, no man can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I'll raise him up at the last day? Can you go that far? Well, they couldn't go that far. They could go as far as relating an external event to an internal imaginal act. But they could not believe for one moment that encountering a total stranger in the world and that stranger comes in to play a part in my life, that he cannot come unless my father draws him, and I and my father are one. I am the Father and the Father in me, so that no one comes into my life and plays any part in my life but what I am drawing him, good, bad or indifferent, he just can't come. Well, man isn't big enough as yet to accept that widening circle. And it's very true, by the way. This whole thing is true. Everything is you pushed out. Can't quite stretch it out that far to encompass the whole vast world. And that everything that is happening in his individual life, he is the cause of it. He can't quite relate these events when they are touched by living beings in the world to anything that he inwardly has ever done. He can't believe one moment. But I say, you be the judge whether you believe it or not. For he said, I know every one from the very first. Why did he know every one from the very first? Well, who is he to do all of this? Are we not told what person knows a man's thoughts except the spirit of the man which is in him? First Corinthians 2:11. But who's the spirit in you? I tell you, it's Jesus Christ. I have been crucified with Christ. It is not I who live, but Christ who lives in me. Read it in the second chapter, 20th verse of Galatians. I've actually been crucified with him. And it is not I who live, but Christ who lives in me. So the Spirit in me from the beginning, whether I believed it or not. So the Spirit in me knows from the beginning what? Whether I believed it or not. As I sit here this night, I do believe it. Excuse me, my reading's a little jumpity. As I sit here this night, do I believe it? To what extent would I believe this law of liberty where not a thing that is happening that I didn't cause. Not a thing in my world. Well, who betrayed me now? I knew the one who would betray me. But no one can betray me unless he has my secret. But no one. You can't betray a man unless you know the man's secret. And to know this man's and to know the man's secret, you have to be in the spirit of that man. So who could betray a man but himself? So no man takes away my life. I lay it down myself, the power to lift it up and the power to lay it down again. No man takes away my life. So he knew the one who would betray him and should betray him because he is himself. He is self betrayed. He knows the secrets to the point where everything is happening in his world because he is the sole cause of all the things that he encounters that he experiences. There is no other cause. He knows that. And so he's betrayed the creative experience within himself. He knows what is the cause of it. He's found it in himself. His own wonderful human imagining is the Christ spirit in him that really is the cause of the phenomena of his life. And so now he is self betrayed. He will share it with the world, but who will accept it? He'll tell it to the world. And so men will themselves judge to what extent they will go with it. But when he comes to the statement that no man can come unto me except the Father who sent me, draws him, we draw the line. And I purposely omitted the limp in the right leg because had I said it, she would have instantly have thought of Eddie. So I didn't mention that characterization. Then I omitted completely from my vocabulary the use of the words unwanted and rejected. Which, by the way, in describing this character, he felt himself unwanted and rejected. But in spite of these omissions, she said to me, you're talking about Eddie. And then said he. I was stunned that my wife, from a description of a character I conceived six years ago, could see in that character and not see that character that I'm talking only of one character she knows as Eddie. So I really signed this letter worried for the simple reason, having written all my life, I've created some characters that I'm in no hurry to meet in the flesh. So everyone has done that. Then he goes on, so I quickly turned to your book the Law and the Promise and re read the chapter on There is no fiction. And now, said he, with this off my chest, as it were, I must say something good in favor of an outside God and candles. For in my present state of mind, I think that really such a thing, an outside God, will be more comforting than to be the God creating all things, all these things that are coming into my world. When I reflect upon the characters as a writer I have conceived and projected on the screen characters that I don't really want to meet in a hurry, not in the flesh. Then he said, I hope you will keep this letter in a safe place. Because if I ever want proof for insanity, I would have it. You keep it in a safe place. And the day I need it to prove my own sanity, well, there is the proof for here this one. This gentleman has gone all the way and is willing now from his confession in this letter to admit that the character Eddie that seemingly came by accident after a great rainstorm, that all the cars were washed in the neighborhood and Eddie had no job for the day. And thumbing his way up the hill, possibly to where he lives in his tent, this gentleman very kindly gave him a lift and the friendship began there. Because outside of this friendship, which he said is the same intense feeling he felt for Eddie that he had for his character and he always had for the character. They have no social meeting point. They do not travel in the same social circle, intellectual circle, financial circle. Yet there was a closer feeling, I'm quite sure, towards this Eddie than he has towards maybe 9/10 of those who moved in his circle. And he created Eddie. So I say that everyone. You may not recognize the character. Maybe you're not a writer and have written to the point where you can remember an actual character that you created out of nowhere and had it produced and saw the production yourself and moved others to see the character. But he remembered. And then he ran into the flesh and blood character that he conceived six years before. So the sixth chapter of the Book of John. No one come unto me unless the Father who has sent me draws him. And the last day, I will lift him up. I'll raise him up at the last day. So I told this gentleman exactly how he's going to raise him up. The day will come. And the last day doesn't mean the last day of 24 hours. It means the last day of the journey from the cradle to the grave. When it is your last time around and you're not on the wheel of recurrence anymore. This last day, I will raise him up. That's when you learn and apply how to imagine lovingly. And when that last phase comes to an individual, he will have this experience when he least expects it. No one ever told him about it. And maybe when I tell you now, you'll forget it. And Scripture forgets. So when it happens, it will come as a very wonderful, pleasant surprise. Because you have no memory that you heard it from my lips. But while you don't know about it, you never read about it. No one told you about it in one night. Or it comes in the day. In my case, it always seemed to come out at the wee hours of the morning. And so you'll be suddenly twisted from within yourself like a corkscrew. And through your skull you'll go. And you'll be clothed in the most glorious body of fire and air. It is that luminous. You need no stars, no sun, no moon to illuminate your path. And a heavenly chorus will call your name, whatever your name is. And they'll pronounce the name and say, he is risen. Not he is risen, but the name. Say your name is John. John is risen. John is risen. They'll repeat it. And then this Chorus will sing out. And the most. The most glorious heavenly chorus will sing your praise. Because you and have been risen. And then you will come upon a sea of infinite perfection. Human imperfection. Excuse me. And then you will come upon a sea of infinite imperfection. Human imperfection. The limp of blank space will be there. The blind, the halt, the withered. Everything you've conceived, all taking human form. And they're waiting for you, their redeemer, to redeem them. You got to remember what he just said. If everyone is you pushed out, everyone is you pushed out. They're waiting for you to redeem them. On this last day, when you're awake to it. It's your last day. This is the time of redemption. He is risen. This is when you do the work. And as you glide by, you seem to glide by. Every one of them will be transformed into the image of perfection. You do not raise a finger to make it so. Blind people become those of perfect sight. The deaf hear the limp, the halt, the withered. All cease to be what they were as you pass by. And when you come to the very end and the last one is finished and all are perfect, then the same heavenly chorus will exult and ring out. It is finished. The last cry on the cross. And then you, for unfinished business, return here to complete it, to tell it, maybe to leave it in a more permanent form, in the form of a picture or a story, like Blake did. Paintings, art. The paintings and sketches are his art. And the poet, the poetry was his art. What Blake did was exactly that, repeating that last sentence. And then you, for unfinished business, return here to complete it, to tell it, maybe to leave it in a more permanent form, in the form of a picture or story. But you will tell it in a more permanent form than you yourself at that moment experienced. For that's forever as far as you're concerned. But you will tell it for the benefit of others and scream it out, as it were. Return here to complete the few remaining years, for your end is at hand. What's there left to do when you are on your last day? There's no other option. You don't have any other option. Might as well get on with the killing. The killing is. The killing is the business of telling, sharing, communicating. That you can do it through art. You don't have to use this. You can use this. You can draw, you can write, be short stories, long stories. Could be video format. It could be anything, anything. But you're going to tell it. You don't feel like you can avoid telling it in my opinion, but I. In Seth material, I'd be known as a speaker. In the nine families of consciousness. I'd be definitely one who's a speaker. Because it seems I come into this life to use this primarily. So that's my vehicle. That's Neville's vehicle. Neville, obviously a speaker, there's no doubt about that. And on his last day. Communicate. Communicate. Communicate abundantly. Communicate abundantly. Thank goodness he crossed into that period of recording devices. Thank goodness. Because if without the recording devices, we wouldn't have so much of this promise information. We have a lot of the law in his books because his books are primarily law. But oh my gosh, just to say. Amazing. So you experience the promise. You get to the point you're on your last day, as he just said, you tell it. Return here to complete it, to tell it. Maybe to leave it in a more permanent form. Next paragraph. Everyone who had to be raised. Excuse me, Everyone had to be raised that you would create. Everyone had to be transformed into perfection to conform to you. When you were lifted up at that very moment, you were perfect. And so as you walked by, you molded them in harmony with the perfection springing within you. And you do it without effort, without taking thought. You're above the conceptual mind. You're not concerned about these people. You simply walk by knowing in the depths of your soul it is all perfect. And everyone is reshaped and molded in harmony with that perfection springing within you. So you're told. If I. If I be lifted up from the earth, I will lift up. I will lift all men up. I will shape them and transform them. It's all in that sentence. If I. If I be lifted up from the earth, I will lift all men up. And so no man came save I called him. So if I call Eddie with a limp. And then memory served me well. I am taking a shower and suddenly I'm pleasantly recalling a story of six years ago. And while I recall it and dwell upon it, suddenly it dawns upon me. For I've been walking around these past two years in the company of one that I myself created. And I didn't recognize him. That's the harvest. Here is a man in my own world. For two years he's been in my life and an intimate of my world. But I didn't recognize my own creation. For that's what the world does all day long. It draws only its own, but doesn't recognize its own creation. No man cometh unto me, save I draw him. For my father and I are One. So he can't come unless my father draws him. He can't come unless I draw him. Well, the father's here. For I and my father are one. And so I am drawing every being into my world, good, bad or indifferent. So when I think he is wrong and he crosses my path morning, noon and night, he's no good. You can't trust him. Where in my world can I go back to that moment of mistrust in me when I really couldn't trust myself? I couldn't. I was afraid of my own behavior. If given an opportunity, if I thought I could get away with it, I might. I need not be an author to sit down and write the story. I could enact the story. I could walk through a store. And if no one really had eyes upon me and I thought they didn't, I might contemplate with pleasure an act that, if caught, would be quite embarrassing to those who love me. I might. If in the past I ever contemplated that someone's going to cross my path and come right into my world and will play that part right in my world, I may condemn him for it. But in condemning him, I'm condemning myself. Because he is my very self. Bearing witness to my own creation. Bearing witness. I told the story here once, many years ago. It was a very intimate story. And I told it certainly not to feel any ego here. But to encourage every person in this world to forgive every being in this world. Because you are the cause of the behavior of everyone you're observing in this world. That's a pill you have to swallow. If you don't agree with that last statement. You have to come to grips with it because it's all you pushed out. Marry that statement with this other one. Your imagination creates reality. Everyone is you pushed out. Your imagination creates reality. Your imagination creates reality. Therefore, everyone is you pushed out. If I'm imagining anything, it's me pushed out on the screen of space. All you pushed out onto the screen of space. Imagining creates reality. Because you are the cause of the behavior of everyone you are observing in this world. And I told it in the most intimate manner because it struck home forcefully. And I was severely criticized by the audience for it. And criticized the following month by the wife of the gentleman who. Who brought me to this town to give a series of lectures. She said, neville, I thought that was very, very unbecoming. And so many have criticized you for it. They've written me letters, and I can't tell you of the many letters I have received that are very, very Critical of what you said from the platform. I said I didn't say it for any purpose other than to show everyone that they are the cause of the misbehavior of others that they condemn. They are the cause of it. And so I tried to explain to her that it was not condemnation of the person I was putting myself. I was the cause of her arrest, the cause of her actions. He's referring to when his ex, soon to be ex wife was caught stealing. He told the story apparently at that meeting and people were upset with him for saying he caused it because they don't want to take responsibility for their own sowing. I can't be the cause of this. It has to be somebody else. It has to be the president. And this is the story that's as ridiculous sounding as oh, it has to be some God or some devil. One finger pointed away and three fingers pointed right back at yourself. The funniest two things about this whole thing, all of this work. I am. You're never going to escape those two words. And those words are his name. And those words come first. When you speak who you are, you're only adding to his name. When you say I am hungry, you're starting with his name. His name. I am. And then you throw your self concept on top of it. You're piggybacking. That's the one thing. The other thing is the fact that it's attached to your body. The symbol, the symbology, the symbolical breakdown is literally always been in front of your face. Like these. These are liars. These are always stealing from you. These are thieves. They don't show you the truth. The truth is mostly in here. But, but the thing is that this is, this one thing is not lying to you because it's showing you 1, 2, 3 are pointing right back at yourself while you point one away. Oh man. And so these people who have heard that lecture of Neville's talking about how he, he said he caused his wife by wanting to be unentangled and with the new gal that was now capturing his heart because he was already. The old relationship was a separation and they were done. So as he fell for this new gal, the old one picked that energy up and ran with stealing something and getting caught and then becoming going to court and drawing Neville into court and all this other business. But Neville tells the story at the lecture. People don't want to hear that because then that means they're responsible for the things that happen in their world. Oh my. Again, my teacher and I would drive home from these fairs. We used to do all these readings. And the one thing we talked about on the drive home, that was only one thing and one thing. Every single time. Not a lot of people wanted to. Excuse me, I'm trying not to blanket judge here. Our complaint and our commiserating was on. Not a lot of people are willing to take responsibility for their creations. Same exact thing. Everybody we talked to me, I what? And we would hit him between the eyes every single time. And they didn't want to accept that. And that if you can't accept that one thing, then you're going to be in the victim world. You're riding the horse of victim. And people like my teacher who taught me and myself, it's coming from within me. You create your own reality, means you're creating all of it. So if I'm delivering to you information that says you're the cause of it and you don't like that, or you don't want to accept that responsibility, then I'm the bad guy because I'm the messenger every single time. So this is what these letters that came in were. The same exact crap. They're just throwing their own lack of facing responsibility for themselves onto another. Let's blame him for saying that. How ridiculous. We have come a long way, I think. And if you're on this channel, watching this video and you've come this far and you've been through all of them, then you're willing to take responsibility for your creation. Because you're here to learn how to consciously create what you want to create. And you can use the law as much as you want to live the most abundant life you want. You don't have to have anything to do with the promise and this talk of last day business. You don't even have to imagine lovingly for others. You can use the law to have the most wonderful and comfortable abundant existence, period. You've come all this way. You're typically more leaning towards the idea of taking responsibility for your. Your creations and therefore wanting to create better ones. That's the whole idea. That's all we're communicating here. Okay, let's get back into it. And this is the story. I was married, of course. I jumped the gun on him. I was married, separated for 15 years. No divorce and no final separation. No legal separation, but separated. I was married at the age of 18, father at 19, separated at 20. Wow. Talk about straight away. Just get the experience. Neville and he had a kid there. And then for the next 15 years we lived our separate lives. And only saw each other when she dragged me into court for non payment of alimony. Whoa. A deadbeat dad Neville was. Wow. Oh, I don't blame Neville. I mean, we already know the story of trying to get a quarter. I mean, hoping and wishing for a quarter. Goodness, goodness, goodness. That's the only time we ever saw each other. I always came out of the court with a reduction. Always one after the other. So seven times before the judge and seven times it went down this way. So finally she knew, better not take him anymore. There's not a thing else to get. Each time the alimony would be reduced is what he just said. Seven times before the judge and seven times it went down. I always came out of the court with a reduction. Always one after the other. So I better not take him anymore. There's not a thing else to get. Wow. She'll get nothing the next time. Oh my gosh, Neville, man. That is friggin funny, man. And wonderful at the same time. Wow. He's a human. And so that was the picture. So I told that story and all these things are happening. Talking about a story of his life at the lecture. I think it's wonderful. And one day I knew I wanted to get married to a certain party who's now the mother of my daughter. But I had all this entangled personal life. Not separated legally. You can't get a divorce in New York City, save but on one ground. The most archaic law in the world. Therefore nothing but collusion goes on in the divorce courts in New York City. For the whole thing is forced upon man because of this archaic law. However, I wanted my divorce. And then she was told by a very close intimate friend of mine that I wanted that divorce and. And to really leave town, get out of town. That was his dance partner. I know that from other lectures. His dance partner, literally a marique. But my friend didn't want me to get a divorce and marry the girl that I eventually married. I think that's also his dance partner. So I thought, all right, I will now apply this law. And I slept as though I were happily married to the girl who now bears my name. And again, for those that take this as a wonderful lesson, that this is Neville. He's entangled, means he's still married, but they're separated. So he didn't have to go. He wanted the divorce but couldn't get the divorce. The law was at this time not allowing it. So what did he do? Knows that there's the law of God. That's where he goes. That's the only law. So I thought, all right, I will now applied this law. And I slept as though I were happily married to the girl who now bears my name. And at the end of a week, one week, my dancing partner, who I thought was the one who had really told her to fly and she was, came to me and told me that she looked upon me as a brother, just a brother. Now, she could never marry me because it was not that feeling towards me. Well, that made me very happy. Now, remember, there was a whole thing here and we just read it in another lecture recently. And if you're following along, you heard it. But there was a situation there where he thought the dancing. He thought a lot of people expected him and his dancing partner to get married if he could have been divorced from the previous gal, his first wife. And he thought that was a high expectation from others and a high expectation from her. And he didn't want to hurt her feelings. He didn't have those feelings to her. He felt like a brother to her. And then she admits, like he's saying here, that she didn't have those feelings for him either. That he was like a brother to her. And that relieved all of that pressure completely, which is wonderful. It's a wonderful piece here. Boy, that's a good dancing picture. If I haven't put it on the community tab, I will. It's a wonderful picture. The poses that they struck, it was fascinating. Just the creativity of it. And at that end of the week, my dancing partner, who I thought was the one who had really told her and. And she was, came to me and told me that she looked upon me as a brother, just a brother. She could never marry me because it was not that feeling towards me. Well, that made me very happy. And then the other one was gone now, never to be found again. So the world would think. But I still slept in the assumption that I was happily married. One morning the phone rang. I answered the phone. It's the court courtroom telling. It's the court courtroom calling. This is the Federal building. I said, yes. Are you Neville Goddard? Yes. Are you the public speaker that goes by the name of Neville? I said, yes. Well, now, you better be in court next Tuesday morning at 10. Well, I was too sleepy to ask why. And so next Tuesday morning, just a little before 10 here, the phone rings again. Are you Neville Goddard? I said, yes. Why aren't you in court? Didn't we call you last Tuesday to tell you to be in court today? I said, why should I be in court? What's wrong that I should be in court. I haven't been subpoenaed. Then said, this party over the wire. You're a public character and reporters are always in court and they love to get the story into the papers and the papers today. But I said, what's wrong? They said, your wife happens to be on trial and so if you would come on down and maybe you could throw some light upon this love, this story. So I went on down, got into the courtroom just in time to see them bring her into the dock, as it were. Three judges came in, took their position, and then someone whispered to one judge and then the voice said, Is Mr. Goddard in the courtroom? I said, I'm here. Would you take the stand? If I remember correctly, he didn't even have time to shave. He just literally got dressed and went straight there. I got sworn in. I'm under oath. Oath. Maybe you could help us throw a little light here. And so I took the stand. They asked me if we were the same religious faith. I said, no, she was born a catholic, I was born a protestant, but that's no problem. She is not a practicing catholic and I'm not a practicing protestant, so there's no problem there at all. And then he said, well then could you throw some light? I said, first of all, she's eight years my senior and you know my age, therefore you must know her age. She's undoubtedly passing through some emotional disturbance. And so when a woman is passing through such states, well, they can do any irrational thing what she's now charged with. I am quite sure she has never done it before. Even if you have the evidence to support it. I still think she's never done it before. I will swear she will never do it again. I ask for my son's sake who lives with me, that if you've got to sentence her, therefore the law says sentence her, but then be merciful and suspend it. He said, I've never heard a plea in this court of mine similar to that in all my years on the bench from a man who has nothing to gain by this merciful plea of his when he really wants a divorce. Because we have all that evidence before us taken from your wife when she was in jail this past week waiting for this day of trial. He said, I'll act upon your recommendation, Mr. Goddard. I now sentence you to six months and suspended. Don't you ever come before me again. Mary met me in the lobby. She said, that was a very decent thing for you to do. Mary, his ex wife, currently his wife about to be his ex wife. That was a very decent thing for you to do. Neville. Give me the papers. I said, I don't have any papers with me. Come home and I'll give them to you. The divorce papers. We rode up together the first time in these many, many years. We were closer than seeing the judge and the bench. We rode together to my hotel and I gave her the papers. I had not been able to serve for unnumbered months. Gave her the papers and got my divorce uncontested. So I told that story to say that I caused her to do what she did. Had I not assumed that I was free to marry the girl that now bears my name, she would never have done these at all. Mary, his ex, would have never done these things had he not taken the assumption. And so she goes into a store, and for the first time in her life, she picks up something that she hadn't paid for. Someone saw it, and so it was. It was a silly thing, but nevertheless, she did it. And that's what brought her into the city so I could find her. And she was moved to ask me to give her the papers because I pleaded for her. And so, having done all this, who actually was the culprit? Who actually was the culprit? I was the culprit. She came right into my world to play a certain part, to grant me my freedom. I'm speaking of the law of liberty. And so should she be condemned for acts. When I, the unseen author, wrote for her, I didn't write it out by sitting down and writing the part for her. But I determined the behavior of that part that she had nothing to do in order to melt her, to take the papers from me. And so I told it only to show that don't condemn anyone. You and you alone are the author of the things happening in your life. Period. And therefore, would you condemn a man? This gentleman writes into his script a limp in the right leg. Here comes a man with a limp in the right leg. He writes everything into an imaginary character. And he isn't imaginary at all. You can't distinguish between what the world calls imaginary and reality. You can't. This is all one. And so people could not go beyond a certain limit. And so you could say, well, I will assume that I am what I want to be. And things happen in my world like this. But don't tell me now that I actually created her in that part. I did. And so many departed never to walk with him again. Never. And so he turns now to the 12 remaining. He said, would you go also? Peter answered, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. And we believe and have come to know that you are the Holy one of God. John 6:68. Well, to whom is Peter speaking? He isn't speaking to another. Whoever is the character written in this drama. As Peter came to that position within himself. It's the most difficult thing in the world to accept, for this is the cause of secession. They seceded at that moment because they will not accept the fact that they are actually the cause of these things that are living and moving in their world. Some crippled, some limited, some maimed. And they're the cause of it. They will not accept it. You've heard me how many times say that I have imagined lovingly for those I see holding a sign that says something similar to anything, any kind of help, Anything will help. Is the last one I saw. Anything will help. Who created that person? If you don't answer, I did. And if you don't answer, you did. Just by hearing it, then you're missing the mark. It's definitely my creation. It's my world. Everything is me pushed out. So you see, when I'm talking about imagining lovingly, for instance, as an example, not only your relatives and your spouse and your kids and your parents and everybody in your family tree, of course, and everybody in your social situation, everybody at your work situation, all of this. But once you know, it's all. You pushed out. There's certain elements in the. You pushed out. You don't want to see. You don't want to see people hurting, people lame, halt, miserable, starving, any of that. You don't want. Who wants to see that? Who would want to see that? You just don't. So you do something about it. You imagine lovingly and make the correction because you're the one who created it. You make this correction, you redeem. You think you're redeeming them, but you're redeeming your creation, so you're redeeming yourself. I believe I am right here. But let's. If we get repetitive, no worries. They will not accept it. He said, all right. They left him never to walk with him again. And then Peter said, well, to whom to go? You have the words of eternal life. These are true. And now to whom would I turn? For you know, we have believed and we have come to know you are the Holy One of God. Know what? Turn back now to Matthew and you see the answer. Who do people say that I am? Some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah. Come Again, some. Some say Jeremiah and some say a prophet of old. He doesn't respond to that. He asks another question. But who do you say that I am? And Peter becomes the spokesman. He answered, thou are the Christ, the son of the living God. He said, blessed are you, Simon bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not told you this, but my Father who is in heaven has revealed it. Where is my Father? Heaven is here. My Father who is in heaven has revealed it. Matthew 16:13. Well, who is the Father in heaven? Sorry, Neville. It's the feeling that once you're in the feeling of this, you get a certain distance in the study of this and you're. You're literally just right. You're like in the car, that is the words. The words are moving down the road and you're in the car that's moving down the road and it's hard to resist. Excuse me. Well, who is the Father in heaven? He said, I am the Father. When you see me, you see the Father. Well, who but the spirit in man has revealed what Christ really is? No prophet. Come again? No reincarnation. But man has Christ within him and he's awakening more and more and more. So the gentleman who wrote the story concerning Eddie said, you know, up until recently. Excuse me. You know, up until now I really wanted to wake up and try to wake up, but now I'm trying desperately to go to sleep again. In other words, he doesn't want. But he really doesn't mean it. He doesn't want what? He just discovered this enormous response. Ability to be responsible for the characters that he created. And they're all walking the earth. And one after the other will enter his circle and become an intimate. That's a phrase meaning a close person, close to you. And one that he really is very fond of. One that he created and endowed him with all these strange things. A peculiar mental unbalance and a limp in his right leg and unwanted by society and looked down on by the neighborhood. Put him in a tent and ostracize him from society and made him unwanted and unwashed and well repellent. In many ways this sounds like Charles Bukowski's character, Henry Chanasky. And if you've read the Buke Boy, what a wonderful writer. What a wonderful entire series of books. I have laughed so many times reading his books. Some of my favorites, Hollywood. I had him sign that. It's a long story. I have an autographed copy of Hollywood. That's the movie. That's the. Basically the book about the movie Barfly. Which is Charles Bukowski's novel made into a movie by Barb A. Schroeder. And then you have. I had a copy signed, which was women. He signed these two for me. I might as well tell a story. A friend had a mom that had a boyfriend. He delivered mail to Charles Bukowski's house in San Pedro, where his wife still lives today. Charles passed in 94, I believe. Charles Bukowski was a postman. If you read Post Office, you will laugh. I mean, you will laugh. You read the book Post Office, but so, oh, my gosh, what was his name? I think it started with a D. My friend Chris's mom. The boyfriend. Oh, what was his name? He would deliver mail to Charles. And Charles Bukowski used to be a. Used to walk and deliver mail, too. And the book, Post Office, that whole story is hilarious. So he delivers mail and he gets to know him. And then we asked as a favor, because we were close with Chris, his mom, and we were close. We used to talk to her and talk to him. And for me, I was in the Navy at the time. And he wrote in my book, he drew a picture of a dog flying past the sun. And it says, hollywood's not as bad as the Navy. No, Hollywood's worse than. Excuse me. Hollywood's as bad as the Navy, I think it says. I'll have to show it to you. I'll put a picture up. But very, very funny stories. But he created a character that in his books is called Henry Chinaski. And in those books, Henry Chinaski has all these adventures. Well, this is the same exact point. It's all you pushed out all these things he does for character and then falls in love with the character. So you can see the words. Father, forgive them. They know not what they do. You give birth to them. Everything's you pushed out. You open your eyes. You create the entire world. It's all you pushed out. And when there's all this melee happening, Father, forgive them. They know not what they do. Luke 23:34. They're playing all these parts because imaginative men and women are writing dramas. And the world is forever falling under the spell of imaginative men and women. No matter what the world will tell you, they're always falling under the spell of those who are writing intensely with emotions. Emotions. Listen to the sentence. No matter what the world will tell you, they're always falling under the spell of those who are writing intensely with emotion. Previous sentence. And the world is forever falling under the spell of imaginative men and women. Back to the original idea from Neville, if you're not using your imagination, someone else is. And if someone else is using their imagination with emotion, with feeling, and you're not using yours at all, you become the automaton for them. You live out their authorship, what they write, what they just imagine. They don't even have to write it, but they are the author of that imagining. You, you become the automaton for them because you're not using your imagination. So today you try it, I hope. But the judgment is yours. Don't tell me, but I hope you can go all the way. And don't tell anyone if you go all the way. Because the spirit in you, he knows whether you can really go all the way or you'll turn back tonight and take only a portion of it. But. But even a little portion of it. Take it. So there's a law, the law of identical harvest. As a man sows, so shall he reap. Regardless of what it appears to be really, you'll reap it. If you wanted to sum up all of Neville's work, all of Seth's work, all the entire Bible, all of this whole hatching out, the whole purpose for being, it's all wrapped in that one tiny sentence. As a man sows, so shall he reap. You create your own reality. Seth is the author of that phrase. Five words. Y C Y O R. As a man sows, so shall he reap. It's the same thing. Your imagination creates reality by Neville. He says that statement, it's the same thing. As a man sows, so shall he reap. This is the summary, the complete and total summary in the smallest sentence possible, how many words we're talking about. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 words. All right there. And remember the purpose, he said, why we're here hatching out. We are here to watch what we sow become what we reap. And if we are in denial of reaping what we sow, let's repeat, rinse, repeat, rinse. Because it's going to happen over and over and over until you realize it's your harvest, not another's. You're not a victim here. And you'll find in the end everything is simply bearing witness to man of what man is doing. As Blake said, I went to heath and the wild, to the thorns and thistles of the waste. And they told me how they were beguiled and driven out and compelled to. To be chased. And you would not believe for one moment that Blake is telling us that the unwholesome suppressions of the normal Natural urges of the animal body that we wear are the cause. And of the thorns and the thistles of the waste, the society has clamped down upon all the normal natural urges of the human animal body. For these are animal bodies that we wear. And by putting a clamp upon the natural urges, then come thorns and thistles of the waste. And what botanist will believe that? He doesn't believe that for one second. And he thinks he's going to kill them by some insecticide or some other kind of thing. And he goes out and burns the things. They'll all come back. As long as man walks the earth, who can impose these restrictions on growing healthy bodies? And. And we call them moral laws. There isn't a thing in this world but man, because God is the only reality. And God is man and man is God. So man is all imagination, and God is man and exists in us and we in him. The eternal body of man is man, the imagination, and that is God himself. Blake Annotations to Berkeley Laocoon so I tell you, whether you be a writer, as this chap writes, and undoubtedly writes remarkably well to earn that kind of money he earns from his own confession. And so he writes it, and luckily he could spot it. But he lived with it for two years before he realized it was his own creation. Wow. It's nothing different than when you imagine leveling for another person and then they tell you it literally happens in the same exact way you imagine. I mean verbatim they tell you it's the same thing, just externalized. A person telling you of their experience. That's external too. But now. But he lived with it for two years before he realized it was his own creation. But now what he did to rectify this problem of the story. Blank space. Being a writer, he took a great imaginative wider. Anyone who could write, Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde. All right. You certainly have an ideal in that when you take Robert Louis Stevenson and you could put it into the feet, the shoes of this imaginative writer and then right behind him, someone who is Stevenson, he caught it by a mood. You can tell by the mood that you wear who you're going to meet in this world. You wear moods. And they come. And he caught the mood. He wondered what would the mood be like? What would it be like asking who he's asking, what would Stevenson feel? How would he feel after he finished what he considered a good script, a good story, and having caught that mood, then he said, I got back in my own shoes. And then I tried to match my own feelings to what I had imagined Stevenson must have felt. And so when he got them matted. Excuse me. And so when he got them mated, and when two agree as touching anything in this earth, it shall be established for them in this world if two agree. But he called the one with whom he wanted to agree in moods. And then as though someone stood behind him and dictated the solution of every point, as he brought the point up, they all came into his mind. There'd be no problem for this man, a rioter, to sit down and bat it out. After they were all solved in his mind, then, taking his shower and feeling very happy about what just happened, he very pleasantly recalled an experience six years ago, all while he's contemplating it like a sledgehammer on his head. Who would have thought he'd been walking around with his own creation two years and didn't recognize him? And he didn't want to spring it on his wife. He thought, I'll test it first before I spring it on her. And so he described the character leaving out very pertinent things like the limp in his right leg and the use of the two words, unwanted, rejected, and leaving out things that would give her the cue she still would spot the character was Eddie. And so that story you can take to heart tonight, what would it feel like if you want money? Well, make yourself one who has oodles of it. What would it feel like to him if he really wants money? Because many have it without any thought of money. But if someone really wants money, what would it be like after he really went over in a big way? And then you try to match your feelings to that which you've imagined he must have felt when he made what he considered the big killing. Match the feeling and then just match it and see what happens. Just try it. What we're doing here, we are experimenting because this is the greatest problem in the world. As Fawcett said, the secret of imagining is the greatest of all problems, to the solution of which everyone should aspire. And I am here to tell you, if this isn't your highest priority, watch the Count of Monte Cristo. It's on YouTube. I've linked it in previous videos. I'll throw a link in this one and understand the character, what's happening when he's in prison, he meets the abbey, and the abbey reminds him of his truth. He teaches him, the main character, how to see God, how to find God, how to use God. So what does the character do? He goes out and he uses God. And then he has access to. To the most amazing, inexhaustible storehouse of treasure. Money, gold. Huge. You can't spend it. I don't even know if the guy could give it all away. That's this treasure, what we're talking about right here. That's how valuable this treasure is. It should be your highest priority to solve this mystery. If anything, it's just to use the law. It is the ultimate tool. The ultimate, ultimate, ultimate tool. Do you want wealth? Who doesn't? You want health? Who doesn't? Why would you want wealth and not be healthy to actually spend it? Right? And who are you going to spend that with? You want love? Who doesn't? What does all that equal? That sounds like you're. You have a lot of freedom to me. What else is left? Oh, my gosh, man. I mean, it should be your highest, highest priority. And I mean highest priority. Okay, let's say it takes you five years. How many years do people go to college for? At least four. On your typical bachelor's, go for a master's. What's that? Two more? Oh, let's go for a professorship, okay? So people can call you some letters, put some letters before your name. How many years does that take? All that effort, if you did this, if you solved this one mystery, if it took you, let's say, four years, would you do it? That's making an associate of science degree. You don't even have to take liberal arts, just a specialized degree. Two years, Would you do it at the end of that two years, let's say, or four years, let's say, just for fun, college degree, what we're talking about right here, let's say it's a college degree. Would you invest in it? If at the end, you could create any experience, you could drive any car. You could have any mate, wife or husband, any bank account, you can have the ultimate wealth. You want a six pack? You can have it. You want muskles, you can have them. Anything. We're talking about anything. Anything. Anything. Would you invest the effort? That's the question. The question is one of responsibility. I'm posing it to you. Would you do it? Would you invest your time, effort and energy if you knew an inexhaustible treasury is waiting for you? Inexhaustible. Call me crazy. Okay, let's get back into the lecture. Let's go back into our abundance. Match the feeling and then just match in. See what happens. Just try it. All right. I have a buddy who knows of this, and he practices Hooponopono, but he's Dabbling with the law. He might even watch the lecture. I don't know that he watches a whole lot of him. He's busy working all the time, and these take some time. He can't put on the headphones while he works. But anyway, he has used the law and he's gone. There's a casino close by between us where we live, and he uses the law. And I says, he went, and he won five games in a row. I don't know what the game is. It's a card game, poker or whatever it is. I don't know the names of these games, but he won five in a row. And I says, what were you imagining before you even left home? He goes, well, I imagine myself standing at the cashier with my chips, and I was going to be cashing them in. I go, oh. He goes, oh. He goes, yeah. And there was a rail there, and I was leaning on it, and I go, dude, the touching is the biggest clincher. If you're going to be in that imagining of holding your poker chips and you're at the gate cashing in your winnings, then you definitely want to be touching the rail or touching the counter or in that imagining there's touching involved. This is a Western gate situation, so you want to always include that. But he did. He went to the end and he saw himself cashing in the chips and he was using the law exactly like this. Match the feeling and then just match it and see what happens. Just try it. What we're doing here, we are experimenting because this is the greatest problem in the world, as Fawcett said. I know, I know, I'm repeating, but it's worth it. The secret of imagining is the greatest of all problems, to the solution of which everyone should. I know he shouldn't on us, should aspire. I couldn't agree with more. First of all, infinite power is in it. If you unravel it, infinite wisdom and infinite delight. So if it contains all of these and we can unravel the problem, then why not try it? So we're asking everyone to try it and then share with us that I in turn will share, as I did this night with this gentleman's letter. Again, I repeat it. I hope he keeps it up and shares with me, that I in turn, may share with you these perfectly lovely facets of this great diamond. For if he could put his imaginary feet into imaginary shoes and fill with the great Stevenson must have felt, when he was satisfied with the story, then takes the shoes off and puts on his own Shoes all in imagination. For he's taking his morning's walk when all of this is going through his mind. And people walking by will see a man walking by and possibly ignore him, not even have a second thought. And they might wonder what's in his mind. But no one but the spirit of that man would know, who would know for one moment that Stevenson was walking by. Now get a grip of that. But while he was wearing the shoes of Stevenson, Stevenson was there to the point that were you sensitive, you would not see the man that was there that his wife would see. You would see Stevenson. You really would. Because all things, by Allah divine in one another's being mingle. And so they aren't outside in space or outside in time. They're only as far away as you allow them to be. And your moods can call them any being in this world. You can call anyone who has been gone for unnumbered centuries. Call him by feeling that you are he. Again, I know I mentioned before, but Jane Roberts wrote the books. First was the worldview of Paul Cezanne, the painter. And I read that book and it's a masterpiece. It is a masterpiece written by Paul Cezanne from wherever the heck he is. He wasn't here anymore. And Jane Roberts did the same thing right here and got in contact with Paul Cezanne. That was not a Seth induced book. It was Paul Cezanne writing through Jane Roberts. She did the same thing for William James, the philosopher and scientists. Apparently, according to Neville, she did the same thing for him. Another great book. She's also done it for Rembrandt because her husband asked one. She asked her husband one time, what do you want as a gift? I think it was either for Christmas or his birthday. And her husband, Robert Butts, Jane Roberts asked this of Robert Butts. He said something on. I think he said something on Cezanne. He. It was such a quip and a matter of fact or something on art or something on Cezanne. Like a book, maybe a coffee table book or something. Well, she went and channeled Cezanne. He wrote the book. And being a painter, both of them were painters, by the way. Jane less so than Rob. But being a painter, she channels Cezanne. He writes the book and then Rob gets this wonderful gift which is written by a master. And then you can tell when you read that book just the whole thing about the brush strokes and how the fruit's on the bowl and it looks like it's about to fall. So many descriptions and there's so Much action in his paintings that he describes in that book. It's a very difficult book to find the originals. They weren't easy to find. It took me forever to find the hardback. I had the softcover forever, but the hardback was. And I walk into Bodhi Tree and in Los Angeles, in Hollywood, where was Bodie Tree? On Melrose. I walk in there one day just out of the blue. I drove from Long beach to Bodhi Tree and there it was right there. World Rupau. Paul says that bam. That was like 1994 ish or something. Anyway, how we can put ourselves in the mood of people that are gone. Put yourself into his shoes and call him. Then if you have a problem, share the problem. You'll have the same sensation. Someone is standing behind you and prompting you so that you. And prompting you so that point by point the solution is given to you. It crowds right into your head if you believe that Blake who died in 1827 could really solve a certain problem for you. Feel the presence of Blake because you're not pushed out. Excuse me, because they're not pushed out as the world would think, say in time, back in 1827. He certainly is not in any little grave in England. No one is there so and so they are only as far as you would let them be. So he went back and read the chapter on There is no fiction. Oh boy, this has been a tangent, hasn't it? It was a minute ago when we. When he said this and discovered he the writer and very humorously when said in his letter. Having written all my life I have created such characters. I assure you that I am in no hurry to meet them in the flesh. But it doesn't matter. The day will come you will move out by a spiral motion when you least expect it and without effort walk by and redeem every one of them. Everyone we were given for the blank space play here because they are created either wittingly or unwittingly. And so I ask you to join with me. Put it to the test and don't delay with your letters. Bring them to me just as many as you possibly can, that I may encourage others to try it too. When you go home, read this chapter, the sixth chapter of the Book of John. It really is the Secession chapter. They all departed, never to walk with him again. And only the few remained. And he turned and they said, where would we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have believed you and we have come to know. And didn't come overnight. We have come to know you are the Holy One of God, but the Holy One of God is God himself. You come to know it, but you're not talking to a man. You found a creative presence within yourself. And although the world will try to make you feel that the creative presence is a power, speak of it as it. Don't personalize it. Oh yes you do. It's yourself you found. Aren't you a person? So if Christ is in you as the creative power in you, you are doing it and you're a person. Therefore Christ is a person. So he said, is your Christ a person? He always talks about Christ as a creative power. He's not only a person, he's the only person. He is the heavenly man. You are finding in yourself that heavenly man, the man that cannot die, the immortal you. Now, when you find him, don't let him go. Let everything else go, but don't let him go. So when Paul writes to Timothy, he said, I know whom I have believed, not what, whom. And he's speaking now of Christ. And yet he defines Christ as the power and the wisdom of God. Having defined it as power and wisdom, he personifies it, personalizes it, because it's himself. That's what he found. He found it in himself. You'll never find him on the outside. This is the part that's has to be dealt with by your beliefs. It has to be dealt with because he's not on the outside. You want to ignite that power and have anything you want in your life. You have to realize that when you imagine you're with him, since you're with him, and you can have anything you imagine, there he is infusing that imagining with power and it manifests simple. And so to what extent this night you can go with the testimony of Christ Jesus? Can you go all out and say that no man, no woman, male or female, can come unto me unless my Father who sent me draws him? Can you say that? When you understand this, you can say it. And I will raise up at the last day, leave that section alone. That's going to happen anyway. But to what extent can you accept that testament, that no one can come unto me, I, unless my Father who sent me draws him, and I and my Father are one, because I am in my Father and my Father in me? Can I go that far and then go all out, that not one being in this world can cross my path, that I did not call? Now that's taking full responsibility. That's when you appreciate every person, because you know how perfect it is those who come more intimately into my circle. They're really things I have been dwelling upon. You start dwelling upon the so called tyrants of the world. And forming in your mind's eye, you'll find he doesn't really live in Russia. He lives right next door. Comes right in. Oh my gosh. You must be careful, man. Wow. And then you wonder how to get rid of them. You've been creating in your mind's eye a certain something and it comes right into your world. You draw them as you draw them out of a panel. Now let us go into the silence. It good man, oh man. This is a great lecture. There's so many pieces in this one lecture. Question. Who is the woman in Revelation? Who was the moon under her feet? Under her feet? Answer, Neville. Everyone. Excuse me. Everything in scripture from beginning to end is all about you. Not the garment that you're wearing, but you the wearer of that garment. Everything from beginning to end is your real autobiography. Much of it you have not yet experienced. But it is still yours to re experience. Therefore truly an autobiography at the moment you may read it as biography. But don't think of it. But don't think that it's of another. It's all about you. The most insane revelation will prove itself true. One day you'll experience it. It's all about you. I better bring this up now while it's in my head. About three nights ago, what is today? It was the 18th. I think it was the 18th or the 17th. I was. I was. I woke up in a vision of these. I went to bed really late and I woke up in a vision of these three. It was like a parade was happening. And there was these three manifestations, if you will. And I knew they were manifestations. They were clearly, to me, these were manifestations. They were three things and they were all 50% translucent. And I was looking right at them. It was like looking at a huge parade float of SpongeBob SquarePants or something because it was a square. It was a big tall, squarish rectangle thing. And it had depth to it. You know, it looked like a structure of some sort. But it was a parade of these three things and they were coming by. And the most amazing thing was that they were 50% translucent. And I knew that they were manifestations, but they weren't fully yet. And what was fascinating about this is I woke up out of the vision. I think I went to the bathroom, I came back and I dreamt it again. Then after a while I put on the Binaural beats or something. Something stirred me or I adjusted my headphones or I put the volume down or up or started the track again. I don't know what I did. And then I dreamt it a third time. And we already talked about. Neville has about double dreams. And I think he also mentioned a third time. Maybe I'm digging deep right here. I don't know if he mentioned a triple dream, but I dreamt it a third time. The exact same scene, literally. And I'm looking at these three manifestations, and they're 50%. They're 50% translucent. I'm looking at these things, and they're big, you know, big parade float size. And I'm just standing, like on the street, like, looking at these things, you know, coming marching by. Fascinating. Triple. Let's call it treble. It was a treble dream. Back to the answer. It's all about you. When the child was brought forth and it was quickly caught up into heaven, you'll have that experience. The child will vanish from those who will try to destroy him. And all the destructive powers of the world are still begotten by you all in the state of dream when man was sound asleep. So you are that being. I hope tonight you saw who Judas was. Not some being who betrayed what the whole vast Christian world believes to be their Lord. No one could have betrayed a man unless he knew that man's secret. And no person knows a man's secret but the spirit of that man which is in him. So who is Judas? The word Judas means the praise of Jehovah. Judas is praise. But man thinks the drama took place 2,000 years ago. It's taking place all here. He said, no man takes my life, I lay it down myself. If no man takes my life, then what are you blaming him for? I laid it down in every garment that moves upon the face of the earth. Unless I die, thou canst not live. But if I die, I shall rise again and thou with me. Blake, Jerusalem plate 96. And so he became man. That man may become God. And. And he did it voluntarily. You can imagine. Well, that's Christ. That's the power of God. And it is personified, though a power because you're a person. Therefore it is a person. Every evil act in the world needs a man as an agent. Therefore it is man. Remember, if you're not using your imagination, someone else is. And if you're given to that type of behavior. There you go. You're right down the slide. Every noble act needs a man as an agent. Therefore it is man. So it's all personified. So scripture personifies the powers yet? That's right, they are powers. They are personified. The whole story. The book is personified through us. That's why I said. I've said many times, you can burn those books, it doesn't matter. They are coming from within. They do not exist outside of us. Fascinating. What is the symbolism? Question. Next question. What is the symbolism of the two thieves on the crosses and at the crucifixion? One on the left and one on the right. Oh, I love this. I love the subject answer, Neville, we're coming to that in the not distant future right from this platform. But we answer Some claim that man is constantly robbed by looking back or looking forward. Remember what I said about past, present and future? He's so concerned about what he did and what he's going to do, what he formerly encountered and what he hopes to encounter, that he omits the everlasting present, which is I am. So Christ defines himself as I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life, I am the bread of heaven, I am the true vine, I am the resurrection. All present. None of those say I was or will be. None of them always present tense. The whole body of the Seth material. Seth always says it's all now. But man goes back and thinks of him as something past and hopes to meet him sometime in the future. And it's ever present. He's only in the present. So man is robbed by two thieves that he walks with all day long because Christ is crucified here in the present. I have been crucified. I am crucified with Christ. And it is not I who live, but Christ who lives in me. He's present and his name is Jesus. And it's I am the word. Jesus is Jehovah and Jehovah is yod hey vow hey. And it's defined as I am so my thief to my left, my thief to my right. I'm always looking to the past or future and omitting the only reality which resurrects which is the present. And only what I am ever reaches heaven. Only what I am am I putting out. So don't wait to assume that I am what I would be. Because reason denies. Ignore reason, ignore the facts of life and dare to assume it. Because all things are possible to I am. So the two things are with us morning, noon and night. We wonder, I wonder.
