The Sin Against The Holy Spirit by Neville Goddard (02-19-1963)

Neville Goddard 1963 lectures the Sin against the Holy Spirit February 19, 1963 Tonight's subject is the sin against the Holy Spirit. Undoubtedly you have heard numberless concepts of this statement in Scripture. The most common interpretation is a violation of the sex act. There are unnumbered concepts of it. But this is not my picture. Not as has, not as has been revealed to me. As I have told you, the Bible is not something that you open up and just read as you would a novel. It's a building of three levels. As we are told, a threefold cord is not quickly broken. And so they are, and so they are. On levels I personally can't conceive of a violation against the Holy Spirit. I really can't. I'll give you my reasons for it afterward, but I can't. And so if I can comfort you, may I tell you, don't be anxious. I can't conceive that you can violate and blaspheme the Holy Spirit. I can't. That you will simply sin. Yes, certainly. We all sin. Every moment of time we sin. And all sins are forgiven. All blasphemies are forgiven. But the only blasphemy that cannot be forgiven is that against the Holy Spirit. As we are told in Matthew, Mark and Luke. How can you violate something when you are the something? Everything you are is within the something is within all that is. I am God. There is no violation when you are sent to be Him. Anything and everything you desire or wish to be, be, have, do and become. Anything you're doing is part of all that is. None of it's wrong, none of it is a bad thing. But we're talking about the concept of sin now, and sin means to miss the mark. If you want to quote the third chapter of Mark and 12th chapter of Matthew and the 12th of Luke. I find in the book of Luke a more advanced development of the theme that I do and then I do in Matthew and Mark. Mark is the earliest revelation of this theme. But I find that Paul later advanced in this development of the theme in the book of Luke. But each statement is followed by the strangest, most irrelevant thought in the three books. But that which follows in the book of Luke is tonight's theme. And in the book of Luke, after he made the statement that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not forgiven, then you will think you are reading an entirely different chapter on a different theme. Authorities do not be anxious how or what you are to answer or what you are to say. And the Christ for the Whole thing is about the Christ. And so the connection between Jesus and the Christ is not that of an historical figure and some metaphysical entity, but that of a visible history condensed into a few years and a history that is continuously unfolding throughout the ages. A history that is known as the history of salvation. Christ is divine history inwoven in every child born of woman. The whole vast history of God is in woven in you, inwoven in me, and inwoven in every being. And when it reaches maturity in you, when it reaches maturity in you, in one short little interval of time, that condensed moment of time, just a few years, the whole thing unfolds. Remember this is 1963, started for Neville in 1959. Six mystical experiences over that three, three and a half, four years, whatever it was, 12, 60 days, he's at the beginning of after the unfoldment of the mystical experiences. And. And no one, may I tell you. Well, I'll modify that as I wouldn't say no one, but so very few will believe it. The entire divine history in woven in man, like a seed matures through the ages. All the pains, all the violence, everything in the world. And suddenly what you heard about another begins to awaken in you. The whole thing flowers in you. And you are him. That's the story. Now, why do I not believe that you could ever sin against the Holy Spirit? I'll tell you. You know, it's funny, real quick, Seth very often starts a sentence with the word now. We've previously in all the videos so far, this is our third lecture we're reading together. But in all the previous books he did never. He. He did never. He never started his sentences with now. But in his lectures, obviously he's using now quite a bit to start off a sentence. In the Seth material, when you heard Seth dictating, he started sentences with now all the time. That always reminds me when I hear that of devil or Seth is that it's right now, this moment, this is our focus here and now. I like that how these both have a similarity that way. Now, why do I believe, excuse me. Now why do I not believe that you could ever sin against the Holy Spirit? I'll tell you when they bring you before the synagogue and before the rulers and before the authorities. Do not be anxious how, when or what you are to answer. If I must answer, someone ask me a question. Do not be anxious how or what I am to answer. But then who asked me a question? Some question must be asked for me to answer. Or what am I to say for The Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what I ought to say. So when I am brought into the wonderful gathering and presented to the Holy of Holies, God himself, I am told supernaturally, yes, I am prompted, as though I were on a stage and the prompter is telling me what I ought to say. So I am supernaturally prompted what to say. And I can't, from my own experience, believe that anyone in this world could falter. It's automatic. When you stand in his presence and he's infinite love, he will ask you what is the greatest thing in the world? And you, without taking thought, without batting an eye, and without trying to rationalize, will automatically, like a response and like an echo, will say, faith, hope, and love, these three abide. But the greatest of these is love. First Corinthians 13:13. You will do it automatically. He who asked the question and prompted you supernaturally what to say will then embrace you, and you are one with God forever and forever. Then you'll be sent to that story, to the whole. Then you'll be sent, excuse me, to tell that story to the whole vast world. Who will listen. Then you'll be sent to tell that story to the whole vast world. Who will listen. Some will listen and accept it. Others will reject it, and the majority will not even listen. It doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter. This tree is growing in us. And when it matures in us, in a short, very short interval of time, in a matter of years, a few years, the whole thing will. Will unfold. It doesn't take 50 years. I'm 58. That's interesting. And that's quite a coincidence. I am 58. Not 58 years, but just a few years to begin to happen. And then one after the other, everything said of him unfolds in you. And you are Him. So Christ is divine history. And Jesus, the first to be raised from the dead, is the one in whom that divine history unfolded in this little short interval of time, and you are him. Everyone then becomes Jesus, because everyone in one little moment of time is going to have it in a matter of years. Then when the. When the curtain comes off, the curtain being this little garment of flesh, you will know exactly who you are. So I say that I cannot believe, although the word ought is used, and I am told in Scripture, in Deuteronomy, in the Book of Proverbs and the Book of Revelation, do not change one word of Scripture. Do not add to it, and do not take from it, leave it just as it is. Therefore I cannot alter the word ought. And it's used advisedly in both the King James Version and the Revised Standard Version. And so he will tell you what you ought to say, giving man freedom to deny it and not say, the greatest thing in the world is the world is love, Repeating that sentence, and he will tell you, let me go back, because I don't want this to run out of its rhythm. Do not change one word of Scripture. Do not add to it, and do not take from it, leave it just as it is. Therefore I cannot alter the word ought. And it's used advisedly in both the King James Version and the Revised Standard Version. And so he will tell you what you ought to say, giving man freedom to deny it and not say, the greatest thing in the world is love. That's man's choice. He's free. He could not say it, but I don't believe man could ever not say it, because in my own case, it was like a response, like an echo. And how can you imagine an echo? If I screamed in some canyon and the voice came back, it's going to come back exactly what I said. But he was supernaturally prompted what to say. And so I can't see how you who are prompted in the depth of your soul what to say after the question is asked that you're going to fail. I can't say that. So I would say don't despair. You will not sin against the Holy Spirit. You will not. But all other sins are. But all other sins are forgiven. All of them. And what are the other sins? It is stated so clearly for us, if we understood the Bible, that every sin in the world is forgiven, all blasphemies are forgiven, and we hold the key. So in the end of the Book of John, that is the first ending, the 20th chapter. There are two endings, but the first and real ending is the 20th chapter. In that he appears but in a room that was completely sealed, the doors were closed, and he's completely shut out, as it were. And they wondered if he really rose. Then he appears in the midst of those he told that he would return to them, appearing in their midst and showing them the marks upon his body to testify to the reality of his presence. Then he said to them, peace be unto you. And then he breathed upon them. John 20:19. Listen to it carefully. He breathed upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit. Following this, he said, if you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven. And if you retain the sins of anyone, they are retained. He breathes upon them, and Gives them the Holy Spirit, the word breathe, the word wind and the word spirit are one. The same word in both Greek and in Hebrew. So he breathes upon them. I meant to say breath. There, the word breath, the word wind and the word spirit are one. The same word in both Greek and in Hebrew. So he breathes upon them. I'll tell you what that breath is. It's a vibration. The most intense vibration that you've ever felt. Nothing comparable to it. That breath that transfers to you, the gift promised, the gift of the Holy Spirit is the most intense vibration. It awakens you. For this took place in the upper room. If you read the story correctly, they are all gathered together in the upper room. If you read the story. There we go. And the doors were closed, Upper room doors were closed. Asleep, and suddenly he appears, gives them peace, breathes upon them, and then gives them the power to hold or to release. Well, I tell you, you can exercise this faculty right now. You can take someone in your world and represent that one to yourself. As you would like to see him in this world. And to the degree that you are self persuaded that he is such a being, he becomes that being. You can actually free him. And you can hold him enslaved forever by fixing in your mind's eye the being who is now limited, as though he could never come out. That's your privilege. Yet these are only states of consciousness. And in every state a man lives, he grows. As Matthew brings out right after his statement, if the tree be good, it bears good fruit. If the tree be bad, it bears bad fruit, he invites us to make it a good fruit. That's why I say that Luke went beyond Matthew and Mark in that statement of sinning against the Holy Spirit. They confine themselves after this, after the statement that if you sin against the Holy Spirit, there is no forgiveness but to sin. Against everything else there is forgiveness. There is no forgiveness but the sin against. Excuse me. Then Matthew shows you how they're all trees bearing fruit. So everyone in this world is bearing fruit. You can bear the fruit of poverty, the fruit of wealth, the fruit of being known, the fruit of being completely unknown, the fruit of health, the fruit of wealth. Anything in this world. And you who know this law can take anyone from the state where you find him and put him in the state that you desire to see him. Anyone. You don't need his consent. You don't need his knowledge of what you're doing. Don't tell him what you're doing. Trust this power in your being. I've already described how many times I've used it, I'm going to continue to describe. Because is real, it works. You just self persuade the way you want to see them. Trust this power in your own being. Bring that individual before your mind's eye. Represent him to yourself as you would like to see him, as you feel he would like to be seen in the world, by the world. And persuade yourself that this imaginal act on your part is true and real. And to the degree that you are self persuaded that it is real, it becomes real. And so I tell you, if you forgive anyone, he is forgiven. If you retain his sin, it is retained. So don't blame him if he does not find the good job you think he should find. Don't give an argument, it's entirely up to you. Do you know he needs a good job, a better job than he has, that he must be more gameplay employed than he is? And you are telling him, go and find the right people and go and make a greater special effort. You aren't applying this principle. Don't say any of that crap. Never. Only as you become self persuaded that he is gainfully employed have you applied this principle of forgiving his sins. For sin means missing the target, missing the mark, missing the goal. For he has a target. His target is that he would like to be gainfully employed. That's his goal. And if he. And if he misses it and you know he's missed it and you would like to help him, you can help him. If you want to see this in another way, just think of a guy who's the goal. The guy who kicks the goals in football when he misses, that's a sin. Anytime the ball is thrown and the guy doesn't catch it in the end zone, it's supposed to be a touchdown or whatever, that's a sin. Missing the mark, missing the goal, missing the target. Now listen to these words. If I had come and spoken unto them, they would not know sin. Excuse me, that Simon Peter man, I can filter out things and it's just. I can filter out when I'm reading, I can filter out when I'm listening. When I don't want to read it a certain way, I don't. And when I don't want to hear it a certain way, I don't. It's like automatic. Now listen to these words. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they would not know sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin. John 15:22. He comes and he shows man that causation is mental. And that it isn't physical. And now man has no excuse for his sin, for missing his mark. For every man has a mind. Every man has imagination. He can exercise it. And I tell you, you have heard of old that you should not commit adultery. But I say to look on a woman lustfully is to have already committed the act in your heart. Matthew 5:27. He raises the act from the physical state to the mental state. So then he makes every man now responsible for missing the goal. And yet every goal on this level is forgiven. If I don't get the job, he doesn't condemn me. He only asks me to apply the law as he revealed it to me. And so he read from the book, you're told. Then he read from the book the law of God clearly. And they gave the sense so that the people understood the reading. And so you read. And so you read from the book God's revealed word. And he tells you that causation is mental, that imaginal acts create facts. So what are you imagining? There is the question. What are you imagining? You have gone this far. If you've gone from the beginning and you're up to here now, you know that your imagination creates reality. Because Neville's been repeating this ad infinitum and ad nauseam. You know it creates reality. What are you imagining if you're not actually in the reality you want to be experiencing? What is it I can say morning, noon and night that I am thinking and holding a thought for you? And yet every time I think of you, I think in my heart, I hope he gets it. I'm not doing a thing about it. I must so persuade myself that I can't see any other you than the you that I would like to see and you would like to see in the world. Any other you is not doing it. That's what he taught us to do. That was a beautiful paragraph. And I tell you the day will come, maybe tonight. And I hope it's tonight. Because it begins in one moment that you least expect. When suddenly the whole thing begins to awaken and the flower begins to bloom within you. Everything is condensed within a few years. That took eternity as you saw it. For in the beginning of time, you were shown it, shown it on Mount Sinai. They can't find Mount Sinai. No matter how the archaeological archaeologists look, they can't find it. They never will find it. God's sacred mountain where all of us, but all of us, not one, was left out. Gathered together around and heard Jehovah pledge us. He called us his bride. We were then Israel. Then he took us and he pledged Israel to himself in this wonderful holy covenant and showed us exactly what we would go through. And then we'll forget it in the passage through. And we couldn't remember it until the very end. In the very end, memory returns. These wonderful words come to me from Edward Thomas's great poem, all was foreshown me, not could I foresee. But I learned how the wind would sound after these things should be. You do suddenly, when the thing begins to unfold and you hear the wind, the blank space wind, this terrific hurricane of a power, and then all things begin to unfold. And everything said of Jesus Christ in the scripture, you will experience from the birth to the very end, everything. So do not see him as something on the outside. See Jesus, as I told you earlier, as an. As a history condensed in a few years, just a few, few years. And see Christ as history continuously unfolding throughout the ages. And you, the individual, matching this already unfolded divine history. You went through all the fires of the world and suddenly you reached the point of blooming. Then suddenly, in this quick moment of a few years, you bloom. And that was foreseen and foretold. You suddenly awake and you are it. So everything in the world is forgiven. I don't care what you've done, I don't care what you're planning to do. It's all forgiven because these are only states. The only thing that is not forgiven is the sin against the Holy Spirit. And that is, as I see it from my own experience, when the individual refuses to confess his faith, when supernaturally prompted to do so. When you're brought into the presence of God, into the presence of the God of Gods, the only God, and here in his presence, you are prompted to confess your faith. You don't initiate the words you're told. You don't initiate the words they're told you, but you heard them before. We all heard these words before. But in that very moment you are still uttered in the depth of your soul that you may not make any mistake. What is the greatest thing in the world? Then, without batting an eye, without thinking, without any thought, you say faith, hope and love. These three. But the greatest of these is love. This is all you have to know. That's it. That's it. That's all you have to have memorized. And here is the infinity embodied before you, the Holy Spirit, Jehovah himself, He embraces you and you are merged with him. You are. You are one with God, never in eternity to Be divorced from him one with God, because you answered correctly and yet you did not write the words, you didn't initiate them. So I cannot see how anyone could sin against the Holy Ghost. But again, I would not like. But again, I would like to say, as earlier, I cannot change the Scripture. And the word ought is there as far back as we can go to the earliest manuscripts. And so there is a possibility that one, having been supernaturally prompted, what to say could change the script. And then that's the sin against the Holy Spirit. But I don't think you will. But then again, I can't conceive of anyone blank space. So I can't conceive of God failing. He can't fail. You see, what he's saying with the word ought in there is that it's giving you the out. That is the only sin against the Holy Spirit is if you do not ought. If you do not say what you're ought to say. Faith, hope and love. The greatest of these being love. That's what you ought to say. That flexibility is there for an actual sin against the Holy Spirit, which is not possible in any other place. In any other place, you cannot. There is no. There's no denying anywhere. This is the only place ought and the flexibility of ought to is. It's the only place. Neville has scoured the 66 books. Don't even be confused. Neville definitely scoured the entire 66 books known as the Bible. So that flexibility, that out, don't take it. You're just delaying your inheritance. Who wants to delay an inheritance? But in the interval, in all these things that we sin against, we fall into states. A man falls into a state of feeling sorry for himself, all right? Then things begin to grow. He has so much to feel sorry about after he falls into the state. You knowing the law, instead of lecturing the man or arguing with the man, just take him out of it. He may fall in 20. He may fall in 24 hours later. A friend called me today, all excited. It would not be the first time. Blank space. But my wife said that when she spoke to him earlier, he asked a very simple question. I didn't really want to discuss my daughter at all. Well, he said, what news have you of Vicki? Because he knows she's back in New York City. And she said, well, we are very pleased with her report. And he said, pleased? Oh, I wish I could use that word pleased about anything about myself. He's been coming to my meetings for years. I mean, years away, back in New York City, he came to three times a week. He's in pictures. So he's out here now. He'll return back east. I said do come as often as you can. Be my guest. You don't have to put $2 out at all. Be my guest. Just come and saturate yourself. Now, Vicki just passed away recently, I think. Oh man, I. I think September maybe of 2024. It was, it was. I mean, I'm happy for her graduation, believe me, but I'm also sad. I mean, it's just like this is Neville's offspring right there leaving the party. But wonderful looking lady. I mean just, just to have somebody in our reality. And also Ruth Brown. Ruth, Ruth, Ruth Margaret Ruth Broom. Excuse me. Also just left the party at a hundred years old. Lived down the street from me and Irvine, for crying out loud. And Vicki Victoria lived right here in Santa Monica. Just wow. Just wow. There is a couple things to also add here. You don't have to put the $2 in. Fascinating. An actual entrance fee. 1963. Of course there should be an entrance fee. For crying out loud. Do you want to go back and spend $2? Which I don't know if that was. I don't know if that was. Two and a third dollars was my minimum wage out of high school. All right, I told you, I graduated 84. So go back to three years before I was born. Born in 66, three years before that. $2 is the entrance fee guarantee. The hourly wage was not that much money. So definitely people were giving quite a bit to attend for $2. He's been coming to my meetings for years. I mean years away. Back in New York City. He came two, three times a week. He's in pictures, meaning he's in the movies. So he's out here now. He'll return back east. I said, do come as often as you can. Be my guest. You don't have to put $2 out at all. Be my guest. Just come and saturate yourself. But. But after years of this saturation, he can't conceive of being happy. Just can't conceive of it. And you tell me morning, noon and night that these are states. Excuse me. And you tell him morning, noon and night that these are states. So if you put yourself into a state of being wanted, you'll become wanted. If you put yourself in the state of being not wanted, well, then you'll find all the evidence in the world where you're not wanted. No agent will call you. And if they do call you, they'll say, I'm sorry, but the other one got the job, so it will go on forever. States, states, states. Change your state as we. As The Last Lecture, 2:15, 1963. The I am man. I mean, talk about a power. I wish I could do the fancy thumbnails and sell it, but I don't need to sell it. You're here for a reason. But that last lecture, 2:15, 1963, which really ends with the super punch and it is Moses, Elijah and Jesus. It ends with the punch about I am. And it is powerful man alive. But he can't quite believe. Neville's friend, the actor in this reality. And so I brought him out unnumbered times. And yet I must never falter. How often must I forgive? I brought him out unnumbered times. Either that means from the east or means it brought him out of that funk he was in that he's not wanted, that agents aren't calling him, which I'm pretty sure it's the latter because he's. Because of the following sentence. But he can't quite believe in this reality blank space. And so I brought him out. That's interesting the way Neville's putting that. I brought him out of his funk. That's my addition. So. And so I brought him out unnumbered times. And yet I must never falter. How often must I forgive? 70 times 7. Forgive means to imagine loving thee. Remember Neville definition, how we see it now, what that means in Scripture. Forgive means imagine lovingly. How often must I forgive? 70 times 7. And so if he calls me a thousand times, I must pull him out. So he'll get a job for a couple of days, makes himself maybe a couple hundred dollars. And then on the fourth day he calls. Nobody called me on the fourth day. And there you go all over again. And you could take him down and just put it into his head, but he can't quite see it. I have this going on in my sphere with a friend. I'm not going to get into any detail, but the idea is the same. It's like, man, I have done some. I'm working on 70 times 7. But I've seen a lot of certain things just bloom that I have applied imagining lovingly for him. But then there's one certain section which just. It's like that guy right there. It's just what is happening here. I know it's not failing on me because I'm doing the same exact thing I've been doing in all these other departments. And it's like. It's like a 100% batting average. But over here in this one area, just like this, nobody called me on the fourth day. And there you go all over again. And you could take him down and just put it into his head, but he can't quite see it yet. You and I know this principle. Must forgive 70 times 7 and not ignore him. Very interesting point. Not ignore him because he will not of himself do this. If he wants to lean forever, let him lean forever until that tree begins to take root. Interesting. My teacher would tell, would use that phrase, you know, someone who's independent, stands on their own two feet is what I learned that from her, that phrase. But also there's the other, other angle of that, which is someone who is leaning. There's that leaning on somebody else. And that's a, that's an old timey phrase, I think that whole leaning concept. And that is basically someone leaning on someone else for support. And they're kind of, there's that backwards codependent quality. And one day when he least expects it, suddenly the whole story of Jesus Christ will unfold within him. And he is Jesus Christ. Christ is divine history. And you know, I can really appreciate that. I mean, who is going to tend to, to the wayward sheep if not you? It must be done 70 times 7. Christ is divine history. The history of salvation, that's Christ. And Jesus is history condensed into a few years that matches. Suddenly the whole vast thing that has been, that has been stretched out and continuously unfolding throughout all the ages is now telescoped in one short little interval of time in the life of one man. What he's talking about is the unfoldment, the 12, 60 days, I think it is, of this unfoldment of these mystical experiences. A few short years. I think the story in the book is the character known as Jesus, which is all of us at 30 years of age, basically starts his ministry and goes up to 33, which is three years. And so Christ is born in everyone and telescoped in just one blank space. May it happen to you now when it will happen, only God knows. Anybody seeking, Anybody seeking the promise. Don't sweat it. When it will happen, only God knows. I'm telling you, you're in the right territory. Don't sweat it. I do not. But and another reminder, do not panic when you hear the wind. It's not a tornado ripping your head off. Just chill, just chill and, and just roll with it. I do not know, but he knows. And the day it starts to happen, you can't stop it. Just one petal after the other will come out and the whole thing will form the flower that is Christ. It's a petal, right? And then when you make your exit from this world, you've made it for the last time. And then you are in eternity. Remember? That's Neville talking about this in 1963. He's had the six mystical experiences at this point. And now he's discussing what's to happen with him nine years later. He knows it now, though, because he's had the six mystical experiences he's had. He knows that this is the resurrection for him because of these experiences. And then when you make your exit from this world, you've made it for the last time. And then you are in eternity. But not better than those who have not yet arrived. Because all are destined to be one with God. All. No one is better because they preceded you. Definitely do not go down that road. You don't need to do. You don't need. No. Only when will it happen. Only God knows. It isn't about the reps. It isn't about the amount of affirmations. It isn't about the amount of times you did somebody better and thought of them. Imagining level. No, it's not about that at all. You just need to study this and make an excellent use of the law path of righteousness. Make the impression, become the expression. You just need to do your part in that. And of course, imagine lovingly for everyone in your garden. Of course, no one is better because they preceded you. Christ is the first fruit of those who slept. The first that has been raised from the dead. First Corinthians 15:23. But he is the beginning of the process. Not better than any being in this world because all are awakening and all will be one. And that one is God. So the sin against the Holy Spirit. May I ask you, do not be too concerned, if you will trust me. I can't conceive that you will in any way not respond when you are prompted supernaturally what you should say, listen to the words. And when they bring you before the synagogue, yes, it will be a divine gathering. May I tell you? A heavenly gathering of the gods. Those who preceded you. That's the synagogue. It's the assembly called by Jehovah himself in fulfillment of the 82nd Psalm. God has taken his place in the divine council in the midst of the gods. He holds judgment. Verse 1. And you are brought into his presence and presented to the ancient of the day. And are presented to the ancient of days, the Holy Spirit. And he's man the embodiment of love. He will ask you a very simple question. He is the ruler. He is the authority. But don't you be anxious how or what you are to answer or what you are to say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say. And I tell you what you ought to say. You're going to say. You are going to say it automatically. Then he embraces you with his infinite love and infinite delight. A joy beyond the wildest dreams. No one can conceive of the joy when Jehovah embraces you. And then you are sent. Sent to do what you'll be doing. Telling the word of God, just speaking it. You can't add to it. And please don't take from it, but just tell the Word of God just as you are told in Nehemiah 8 and 8. In fact, there are four chapters from the 8th through the 11th that tells you all about simply talking about the Word of God, nothing else. John 1, right? He didn't say that. I'm saying that. And so let no one tell you that it means any sexual departure or misuse or abuse or all the things. And there are unnumbered hundreds of books written on that theme. And it isn't so at all. They are rationalizing God's word. You can't rationalize. Has to be revealed. And so this is a mystery known only by revelation. I read those books. I bought them. I have them at home. So I know what people have read about it. And then having had the experience, I know everything is forgiven. But in the true sense of the word, no matter what a man has ever done, it's completely forgiven. You know, there was an amazing example in the man known as Dr. I. Haleakala hu Lin, the great master of Hooponopono, who just left us recently. Also, he had a. He had a man that was in extreme guilt over a violence that he perpetrated, I think upon his granddaughter. And I think even the death of that granddaughter. I believe it was something along these lines. Please put in the comments if you know about it. But it's. It's a heck of a strong story. But it wasn't until. Remember what he's saying here. There's no sin. It wasn't until the. I love you. Thank you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me that this man could come out of that guilt. Now nobody's in the eyes of justice. Everything's got its own place, right? We're not talking about that at all. We're talking about love. What you're going to be saying when you're asked the question and the power of what love actually is. But in that example with Hugh Lynn, this man was able to come out of that place of guilt and suffering with the action of love. It was a fascinating piece that I picked up in all of those stories and lessons, and there's a few videos out there. They're not easy to get anymore, I don't believe. But there's great stuff that he's had published and I wish there was so much more, because what an important, very, very valuable man. Hugh Lynn. Very, very, very important stuff. And then having had the experience, I know everything is forgiven, but in the true sense of the word, no matter what a man has ever done, it's completely forgiven. Take him out of one state, put him in the other. Who's going to do it if you're not going to do it? Who is going to do it if you aren't going to do it? And if you're here concerned about yourself, that's okay. Who's going to do it for you if you're not going to do it for you? Take yourself out of the state you're in and put yourself into the state you want to be in. I am that I am. If you're in poverty, I am wealthy. If you're in sickness, I am healthy. If you're single, not married, I am in love, happily married. It doesn't matter what you put after the I am put it to be what you want to be. Take yourself out of the state you're in and put yourself into the state you want to be in. But don't forget your brothers and sisters are also desirous of being in another state. The work of Job. Pray for your brothers and sisters. I call us all brothers and sisters. Take him out of one state, put him in the other. If he falls into the state a thousand times, pull him out of that state a thousand times. It's not. I mean, I'm talking to you from experience too here, so. So I'm telling you, sometimes you got to have the patience because a thousand times is a lot of times. And you just do it again. You just start over and do it again. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Didn't take. Do it again. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Didn't take. Do it again. Who's going to do it if you're not going to do it and do the same thing for yourself? Well, excuse me for Neville, for jumping the gun. You do it by representing yourself to yourself, as though you were the man you would like to be, and walk the earth just as though it were true. And although reason for the moment may deny it, and your senses deny it, and everything denies, doesn't matter, you remain faithful to it. And you, the only living reality in the world, will take that state and animate it, and that state will bear its fruit. So you are told in the 12th of Matthew, after the statement of the Holy Spirit and the great blasphemy against him, that he jumps completely with a new thought and just build you a great, a good tree that bears good fruit and not the bad tree that bears bad fruit. And so someone doesn't like what he's doing in this world. That's a bad tree. It's a tree bearing the fruit. Take him out of that and build a good tree and leave him there. Let him bear the good fruit of the good tree. But he is neither a good tree nor a bad tree. He is the immortal soul falling into these states one after the other. That's what Blake meant when he said, I do not consider either the just or the wicked to be in a supreme state, but to be every one of them states of the sleep which the soul may fall into in its deadly dreams of good and evil. But he's neither good nor evil. He falls into these states unwittingly. And so you can take someone, and without their knowledge, without their consent, put them into a state, a lovely state, and persuade yourself that it's true, although you have no evidence to confirm it as yet. You haven't seen him and you haven't heard from him, but you persuade yourself that it is so. And if you do suddenly, you'll meet him or hear of him, or hear from him, and he will confirm the fruit that you bear him. I'm here to tell you, yes, it does indeed work. If you have any siblings practice, any nieces and nephews practice, you have parents practice, you have children practice, you'll see it work very quick. You'll see. You're going to be blown away. The first day you hear the verbatim words come out of that person into your ear. You're going to be like they just said exactly what I said in here. What does that mean? That means everything is a mirror, everything that three fingers. It's going to blow your mind for the first time. You've been doing this already. Don't get me wrong, you've been constantly doing this already. And you're very good at it. You're so good at It. It's unconscious. You're no longer conscious of doing it. What we're doing together is becoming conscious of doing it. You're already doing it now we're only becoming conscious of doing it. This isn't something new. We aren't. We already know how to ride the bike. But if you can't do it, excuse me, but if you don't do it and you believe all the things you hear and see in the course of a day, well, then you are moving unknowingly into all kinds of confusing states. But may I tell you that you will not, even though the Bible tells us, using the word ought I say from my own experience, sin against the Holy Spirit? Let me repeat the sentence. I want to make sure we got this clear communication. But may I tell you that you will not, even though the Bible tells us, using the word ought I say from my own experience, sin against the Holy Spirit. You will not, he says right there, you will not his hyphens. So don't be concerned, don't be anxious about what must I do to avoid it. You will not sin against the Holy Spirit. I can't conceive of someone in the presence of God being supernaturally prompted. What to say? Other than what you're told to say. You're even told to say, you're even prompted. I can't conceive of it. As I told you that automatically how easy it was to do. You will believe it and you'll become it. But I didn't take a thought. I was taken in spirit right into his presence. And then I could not. Blank space. Just like an echo, I simply echoed what was blank space in the depth of my soul, I can tell you. And that was enough. That brought me the embrace of God here. From then on to this moment, I can't forget it. It's more vividly impressed upon me than this morning's or tonight's dinner for that matter. I've had many lovely letters today, cards today and experiences today. But yes, sweet as they are to me, nothing is as indelibly impressed upon my mind as this that happened to me 30 odd years ago. It is this part of my vision, as though I saw it only five minutes ago or minutes ago. I can still see him. If I could paint as Blake painted or the great artists of the world, I'd paint him and show you this, just as Daniel describes him, just like that, this ancient of days. So I say, don't be concerned, but do practice freeing individuals from the sin that is forgivable you can forgive every being in this world before he breathes upon you and gives you the gift of the Holy Spirit, you still can forgive. Remember, the word forgive means imagine lovingly. Everyone can do it. My friends in San Francisco and my friends here, dozens of you whose stories I have told you, I have told in my latest book. You forgave. That's forgiving. You took certain things that you want in this world and deny that you didn't have them by assuming that you had them and you got them. Don't forget about Freedom Barry's Piano experience. We're going to probably read that, so I'm not going to explode that up a bit. Sounds like Freedom Barry was in this audience just the way he. The way he said that. Whether it was a lovely painting of a ship that you now have on the wall, whether it was the getting of a home that maybe you don't want anymore. Perfectly all right. These are all states, but you got them and you took others and you changed others and made them conform to your dream of them. And they all conformed it to it. They all conform to it. What is it I could have got instead of the eggs? The eggs are the eggs. If you were in my Happy Birthday Neville video of a couple videos before this, or one or two there, it's all the same. It all has the same possibility. I convinced myself I was walking out with those eggs. The thing was empty, chatted to the person, the salesperson. I was on my way out the door, pretty much almost checked out and she comes running with a carton of eggs. What else is possible, if that's possible? And all I did was convince myself. All I did was become self persuaded. As I walked in the door, I accepted that I was carrying those eggs. And what happened? I walked out with them. What else is possible Now? Let us go back to sleep. Let us remember what you did and continue to do it, knowing that at any moment in time, when you least expect it, just like a thief in the night, he comes upon you. Then he breathes upon us. And our head becomes a vibrant center, an intense vibration. And then we will awaken from the dream. It is Christ breathing upon himself in us. For Christ being divine, history is simply awakened and unveiled in us. And we suddenly become aware as he awakens in. As we awaken in ourselves. Excuse me. It is Christ breathing upon Himself in us. For. For Christ being divine, history is simply awakened and unveiled in us. And we suddenly become aware as we awaken in ourselves. And we are Him. Then we rush to our scripture and reread the story as told us in Matthew and Luke. And everything said of his birth we just experienced. Even to the three who are present and everything about him. And even to the swaddling clothes, but everything. And then you stand in blank space, bewildered. And then five months later, something equally fantastic happens. Then we are told, if the sun makes you free, you are free indeed. If the sun makes you free. For the pro. If the sun makes you free. If the Son makes you free. For the promise is made that the Son will make the Father free. In the book of First Samuel, at the 17th chapter, the 25th verse, he will set the Father free. If he sets the Father free, there must be a child. And he tells you that he's trying to find that child. Finding the child. He must know who the Father is. And when he finds who the Father is, he sets the Father free. So it takes the Son to set the Father free. So in the eighth chapter of John, he said, the Son abides forever. When the Son sets you free, you are free indeed. Verse 36. And then you see the Son after another breathing of the wind upon you. For your head becomes a vibrant space more intense than anything. You've blank space. All of a sudden, here he comes. And he sets you free. For he calls you Father. I have to interject this because when I had this again, I talk about having antibodies, lucid dreams, not new to me. I've had them for many, many years. It's a skill set. You learn it and you practice it and you do it. But when this. This wind experience became upon me in about February, about one month, two months in, to study in Neville, about February of 2022, for me, I've had the. I had the experience at least two to three times. That because I've had out of bodies where I've ejected that way, where I've ejected out. This is my body, this is my head. Sometimes I'll fly up this way, or I'll fly that way, or I'll. But I've had them where I've been pulled spiritually. This is my physical self in bed. Pretend that's stuck there. Here's the spirit one. Another copy just pulled like this. But when I had this experience, it was just this massive explosion of force and wind and energy. Bottom of my head, ears and everything. Just this sucking force. I'm describing this so you'll understand what's coming. This very sucking force and me being pulled down this chute. And after practicing this so much, you get used to a Point where you just don't panic, you just go with the flow and then you're going at light speed, beyond light speed. I had that at least two or three times in the beginning of that year. And I'm used to these out of bodies, but I wasn't used to what I would call that by definition, this experience, because I've had so many out of bodies. I've had too many to tell you stories right here. There's too many. I have notebooks and notepads and binders full of these experiences, but I had at least two to three right in the beginning of that year. And he's describing a second experience right here is why I'm bringing it up, which is fascinating. And then you see the sun after another, another breathing of the wind upon you. For your head becomes a vibrant space more intense than anything. You've blank space. All of a sudden, here he comes. And he sets you free, for he calls you Father. You know who he is, God's only begotten Son, and he calls you Father. Then you know exactly who you are, and then comes one after the other. But everything, the whole thing is telescoped. I believe he's talking about all these mystical experiences. So let me again repeat. The connection between Jesus and the Christ is not that of an historical figure and a metaphysical entity, but that of an historical condensed within a few years, but that of an is, but that of a history. Excuse me, when they use the word a n in front of an H, I know the H needs to be silent. So it's kind of a tricky. It's kind of a tricky read and pronunciation at the same time. But I like that he uses proper English and I'm trying to get on board. So let me again repeat. The connection between Jesus and the Christ is not that of an historical unhistorical figure and a metaphysical entity, but that of an history condensed within a few years. A history that is unfolding forever, continuously unfolding throughout all the ages. Remember somebody wrote those books approximately when the heck ever. 2000 years? 3000 years? 5000 years? Suddenly this matches and it telescopes. And all that is unfolding forever is telescoped in you in a few short years. And you are he. Now let us go into the silence. As we go into the silence right now. Just try and take that lecture in your pores. Omg. Om. Goddard. Holy moly. Is this. This lecture just. This is a deep one, man. Wow. I did not know. I had no idea. I mean, I've heard a lot of YouTube lectures and I've read some cool wisdom stuff, not a whole ton. I mean, I haven't scoured every single lecture. I bought this pack of lectures, I think, from the guy on YouTube and gave me a bunch of PDFs and he gave me a bunch of audios. But like most people, I just go with what's the most popular. And I go to K. Kilowatt KWhat great channel, Neville. There's another one or two channels that have great lectures. I mean, I've heard some wonderful lectures, but man, oh man. Natalie student of Neville man, oh man, she's putting it together here. I am really appreciative of this. So our silence. I am. That's your homework. What are you going to follow? I am. With Question INAUDIBLE I don't know if Neville started the practice of repeating questions, but I don't think it was a practice because it must have been very audible in the room. But the tapes, the tape recorders didn't pick it up very well, apparently. No, I saw. Question inaudible Neville no, I saw it in this morning's times. Empty space. The Torah, the new Torah. This would be the first five books. This would be Genesis through Deuteronomy. No, I Blank space. The Book of Mark. If anyone should say to you, look, there he is, or look, here he is, believe him not. Don't believe him. If anyone tells you that I found him, come and go hear him. That's not him. You'll never see him because you can only see a veil. Wherever you go, you're going to see a veil because the body that man wears is a veil. So don't let anyone mislead you in telling you they've found Christ and come with me. I'll show you who he is. Don't believe it. He unfolds in you. And the whole story of him as recorded in the Gospels totally telescopes and the whole thing unfolds within you and every experience you have. Tape ends that's probably the only two words I don't like to read when I'm reading a Neville lecture two TAPE ENDS oh, my goodness gracious. The sin against the Holy Spirit. February 19, 1963 what did you think? Was there any point that knocked you off of your chair? Because I almost fell off of this chair multiple times. Let me know. I am. We'll see you in the next one.
