The Spirit Gives Life by Neville Goddard - Original Lecture

This is a YouTube video titled "The Spirit Gives Life by Neville Goddard - Original Lecture" containing a spiritual lecture delivered by Neville Goddard. The content, created in August 2025, explores themes of spirituality, imagination, the nature of Christ within oneself, and mystical experiences. Goddard shares personal anecdotes and interpretations of biblical concepts, emphasizing the power of imagination and the inner presence of Christ as life and light. The lecture is a monologue focused on metaphysical and religious ideas rather than a dialogue or conversation.
The right subject is the Spirit gives life. We are told that God is spirit. Then we are told that in him is life and the life is the light of men. Then we are told in the book of John that Andrew found him when he called his brother Peter and said, we have found him, of whom Moses is the law. And also the prophets wrote, well, who did he find? Mary. We have found him. The Spirit who gives life. Let me share with you an experience of mine. But bear in mind if I tell you that if anyone should ever say to you, look, here is Christ, or wherever he is, do not believe him. Don't believe him for the simple reason. When you find him, you are like Him. Yet one who has found him can bring you to Him. But do not any point to anyone other than yourself will find himself that you ever find. That is Christ. But you will find Him. But when you find him, you are just like Him. That's the face he wears. Your face raised to the eighth degree of beauty. But your priests. So here in him is life. And this life is the light of men. By him all things were made. And without him was not anything made that was made not anything. Regardless of what it is. Twelve years ago, back in New York City, I tasted of the power of the age to come. That power that you and I will share together as one when we're all awake. It's a fantastic power. But since that day across the country, as I would tell the story from my experience of this power, one question was always asked. I was unable to answer that question saved from speculation. But they did not wish me to speculate. Did I know from experience? That I did not know from experience. I only knew from experience the positive side of this power. I did not know the negative side. I met no one in my travels who had experienced either the positive or the negative until this mass free in la. So I will share with you. First the positive side. That was my experience. And then the naming inside. That was this many experience down in LA, as I told you, it was 12 years ago. I was taken in spirit. And I came upon a scene, a perfectly noble scene just like this. But it was in a New England town, what must be 200 years ago. You see, nothing passes away. That scene was just as a lie. Although if you had lived 200 years ago, to you it wouldn't be the only reality. And the past relative to it would not exist. And the future relative to it would not exist. Only it would exist. And today this exists. And we think because it was 200 years ago, it has ceased to be. Well, I know it hasn't ceased to be because I came above it. Are these things in any way interfering? Well, I came upon this scene. It was a restaurant. It was an early, I would call it a Sunday afternoon. I felt the atmosphere of Sunday. They were all dining a very early dinner. There was an enormous bay wind looking out upon a pastoral sea. Lovely trees, waving grass. A bird was in flight. And a family of four, two young men in their early 20s. And I did that. The ladies and gentlemen present were their parents. They were in their early 40s. A waitress is walking towards a table with what I took to be a second course because they were drinking soup. The young man of about 21 or 22, facing me, had brought the spoon almost to his mouth, just about here. As I came in spirit into this place, I knew that if I should arrest with you me an activity that I felt that everything within my focus would freeze. No sooner did I know it than I tried it. And I still in me an activity that I felt as I did so. Everything froze. The divers, dining, dying out. The young man couldn't move the spoon. Beyond where I arrested him. The wafers walking, walk. Now. The bird flying, flew not. The little grass waving, waved not. The leaves falling, which I could see before I arrested it fell not. And everything froze. As though I came into a museum. And these things were suspended by invisible threads. It seemed that way. Then I investigated. I went close and looked at these people. And they seemed to be dead. They seemed to be not alive. They could have been made of clay. Everything was frozen. And then, when I had satisfied myself that they were really dead or their fate to be dead, then I released within me an activity which I had frozen. As I released it, everything moved on in its course. The waitress walked. The young man completed the action of taking soup. The bird completed its flight. The leaves began to fall. The little grass began to wave once more. And everything once more became animated. Well, having had that experience, I realized that life was in me. That life was an activity of my own wonderful imagination. Well, the Bible called it spirit. For here, spirit finding here is life. Life discovered what life really was. I arrested an activity in me, and they were not alive. I released that activity in me until then. And they were once more animated. I reanimated the entire scene. I discovered that what we call laws of nature, like gravity, is only, I would say, it's not really an absolute law. Because for an absolute law, the bird implied should have formed arrest him. The means should have continued they should not really be suspended in space. Or at least the bird in flight would have fallen. But it didn't. And the moment I released it, it continued in its flight to fulfill its purpose. I can see where the ratis would not fall. I can see where the four divers could be arrested and yet not in some strange way behind and all gravity. But not the bird. As I saw it, my entire concept of life as I know it changed. So I told that story across the country in the major cities. As I visited these cities, one question is always asked is this. Were the poor dinos aware of the fact that they were Trojan? Was there a matrix awareness? Well, I couldn't handsome. I didn't know. I only knew. As far as I am concerned, they were dead. They were frozen. And they seemed not only to be inanimate, but to be devoid of any possibility of ever being animated. Until I released it from within me. When I released that activity which now I know to be life, they once more became alive. Now this spring in LA does not go and live on the beach. And it's her accustomed to go walking every day on the sands. And this day in fashion, as she was walking, looking out to an animated ocean. I'm seeing people on the beach walking and everyone the normal, normal way of living. And suddenly, and these are her words, she said, neville certainly as I'm watching the animal lady, not an envied ocean, but quite a live ocean. Suddenly someone or something turned me off. And I was nothing. These are her words. The ocean was nothing. The people were nothing. Everything was nothing. I stood there aware of being nothing. Then whatever turned me off, or whoever it was that turned me off, turned me on again. And then once more I became someone. And the ocean something and everything round about me once more became elevated and something. Now I can answer that question based upon her experience. I had the positive experience of life in myself. But I arrested it and turned it on again. I didn't know that when I Arasite and the four divers stopped and were still in their tracks and the waiters were still and the birds still when they had the experience of being nothing. So now I know that that's our future. To actually taste of the powers of the age to come. The red flower was light on the great trial of history. Here is the embodiment of truth, the embodiment of life itself. What he will know or to. And he stands before the personification of reason in this world. And reason ask him, where are you from? And he did not answer. And then pilate said to him, do you not know I have the power to release you? Or the power to crucify you? He said, you would have no power over me. I did not finish and I kept show all my lovely rugs upon and all my lovely chairs at all. I really loved the king. I did not get neuroxin immediately for the simple reason, therefore I was hoping that she would die. He was 15 years old, but he seemed to be dippy. He won't let me. So here the cat wouldn't die. He didn't want to kill the cat. He just wanted the cat to be trained. So he imagined the rock in the backyard, which the cat had never used. The cat was 15 years old and he had that cat for 15 years. That the cat was on the outside tearing everything apart from that rock. Three days later the cat went out and started using the rocks for the and from the day she died, it never once came back and tore the rocks. But now he has found Christ, because in him is life. He took life from the trees and rearranged. Here was a cat performing a certain 19 for 15 years. What a habit, Paul. And in three days that habit could be broken. I remained broken until she made her exit from this world. Well, a gentleman in the audience when I told that story. It never occurred to him to try it until that moment when he heard the story. For he had a problem similar to the poplar trees. Only there were not poplar trees. Seated at his dining room table, he used to feast upon a sea, a pulse of bath. And suddenly the next door neighbor planted bamboo trees. The bamboos came and buffed off the entire site. He didn't tell his wife or the neighbor what he was doing. But he would physically see himself at the taker and then look up in the space and remember what he could see before the trees grew. And he saw clearly in his mind's eye that for one solid week that's what he did when he came home. Beginning of the second week, his wife met him. Do you know what has happened today? Our neighbor has removed all the brambles. It was his urge before he initiated the desire to completely change bottle the backyard and removed all the mantles. He did not have to go next door to the table and persuade him to do the gracious decent thing as a name. He didn't tell the wife also, because she might have done it. He simply sat there quietly and looked. And he saw what he must see if there were no trees there. So here are you. He found Christ, for only Christ can make A thing. Now a third mortal. He said, I have a little girl, eight years old. I got thinking I'm not doing enough for my child. I don't see her enough. I should spend more time with her. That was all that he said to himself. Then he said, you know, I'm very fond of jet flying. So one day I thought I would enjoy an imaginary flight. I found myself getting ready with my little girl and my wife before getting ready to go off. And we would go flying. But strangely enough, as we went through the door, only my little girl seemed to aid to my imagination. She had never flown before. So I didn't buy the streets. I found myself right at the state of the airport. I'm explaining to my little girl all the things about an airport. Incoming planes, departing planes, weighing all the. All these things. Then instead of walking up the ramp, I found myself on the plane. I placed my little girl in my imagination at the window. Then I felt the takeoff. And here I am this 5 minute ago. The things below on the ground, the buildings, the sites, all these things took her. And then I broke it. That was all. A month later I said to my little girl, Lynn, I said, L. On April 11 it is Father's Day and Daughter's Day. Father's Daughter's Day. So that day you and I will spend together, just the two of us. What we will do I don't know. But if they came the morning at 11th to April and my wife is dressing, my little girl is dressing. I'm dressing but as church Paul lady myself. But we went through the door together because my wife had a date with a beautician at every morning company. At four I went to my car. I thought, well, what would I do with Lynn for the whole day? Well, I would go have breakfast first and I'll take her to the beach. And for me a lovely time at the beach. I'll take her to love after lunch I'll take her to the movies. So I got on the San Diego freeway and everybody has carrying down on the freeway went Sunday. A feeling possessed me that I could not shake. And that feeling was to get over to the airport and take a jet to San Diego and go to the zoo. I went over to the airport, got in that jet with me. Here I am in the San Diego Zoo. I almost at the end of my trip it dawned upon me what I had done in imagination. The very thing I had done so six weeks before now comes to fulfillment. I didn't recognize it when it happened. He fallen Christ. I hope by These stories without tasting of the power of the age to come, you will recognize Christ in you. For it is Christ in you that is the hope of God, not any Christ of his. So when you hear the word Jesus, do you make a mental image of being outside yourself? When you hear the word Jesus Christ and you think of something on the upside, that lived in time and space has unnumbered tens of millions do then that's not he. You haven't found Him. When you find him, you think of no one. But that presence within you that brings everything that being in your world, he's always brought it. He's bringing it and he always will bring it. And there is no other price. So when you hear the word automatically check yourselves. What do you think of? Wait a minute. You hear the word Jesus Christ. If you make any mental image of another other than yourself, you have a false image. Do not believe for anyone to ever come to you saying, no, here is Christ. Oh no, there he is. Do not believe it. But in spite of that, unnumbered plants who believe themselves with students of the Bible will judge you up on it and think that you are arrogant. And any claim on your part or make your claim is simply blasphemy. Yet there will never be another Christ in your life. So I can introduce you to that, to him as Peter was introduced by Delta and the thumbnail first. And we discovered what he did to discover the creative power within him. Who knows? They stopped recording. But first did you discover it. And when you do it, it stopped recording. But it is stolen story, form. And man in a strange way has misunderstood the story. And now what he calls the grand parable, history. It isn't history. It's divine history, where this thing really comes into being in us as he comes in us. Be tested. Come, test yourself and see. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in thee? Unless of course you fail to meet the test. Well, these three met the test unknown, but hundreds across the country are meeting the test. They may go back to habit and find now they need some other comfort or some greater comfort in the believing of the now. I've asked you to find him this night, trust him this night and take any problem in your world and exercise the Christ in you before you taste of the power of the age to come and see if he doesn't bring that thing into your world. For by him all things are made. Without him there is nothing made that was made, nor will anything be made to more like any other power. The only power in the world is Christ. In him is life, and that life is the life of men. And you will one day have the experience of shutting it off and watching people stand still. And if you remember tonight's message, you will know that they are saying within themselves, I am nothing, absolutely nothing. Once they have become aware of her celebrating and it is still, it is nothing. And if you return it on again, then all will do as they intended before you close it off. And that's the whole vast world in the treaty. So I said, this is an animated wheel, you understand? The eighth of romance. We were made subject unto futility not willingly, but by the reason of the will of him whose objectivist in hope that the creature will be made free or set free from this bondage to corruption and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God. When that something is set free in man, he joins the heavenly host that he is drawn with it. And tomorrow you and I would actually be controlling and animating. This meaning goes on forever until that moment in time when one is like to be awakened and be detached from it. Another moment, another one detached from it. And we are the ones who be doing it before we are actually detached from it. We taste of this power of the age to come. So here, if you are not with us. When I told my vision what a long is that they may disapprove. They don't want me to bring you price this night. But I thumbed him. And having found him, I'm bringing him whether they approve or disapprove. So many, many months ago I had this experience to confirm the 41st chapter of the book of Genesis. For the book of Genesis we have told that different reading doubles itself. But then a thing has been fixed by God and God will surely bring it to pass. And this is what happened to me again. I felt myself move in the spirit. I move back in time not that far back to what it is, but only say to the turn of ascension. I found myself in this interior of a palatial home that used to be Dr. Bel at the turn of century these 60, 70, 80 room mansions. As I entered, there were three generations present, one invisible. But he dominated the entire house zone. The two generations that were feasible were discussing this invisible one, who they referred to as grandfather. Grandfather had this system. He would stand on an empty lot, and while standing on an empty lot, he would say and paint the most wonderful work that Kathy said. I remember when this was an empty lot. And then he would make the most fantastic picture of his desire for that lot. And painted so vividly that they all saw what he saw and produced in words. It was that concept of life that made a fortune for him. It was that fortune that the two generations were now enjoying. But they didn't know his secret. They only told it as a story. Well, I came back. The whole thing was so bitterly impressed upon my mind that I wrote it out. Having written the whole thing out, I returned to beginning to regream the entire dream. With one exception in the second dream. Because I painted the mansion seeing the same people. I was grandfather. When I would turn to the two generations present, I would tell them I remember when this was an antidote. And then finally did the word of my desire for that love. So I told that story to the audience in la. I tell them where I go, for it means it is a true vision. When the thing is done. Let's go to the 41st of Genesis. So the strength of that meaning. I would take that system, as it were by saying to someone or saying of someone, I remember, Ben, they were unemployed. If those are unemployed within their minds. I remember when he was unemployed. If I remember who when he was, I've inclined him. He's not now. I remember when he didn't make 10,000 a year. If I said, I remember when he didn't make 10,000 a year. I have in mind he makes in excess of 10,000. Now if I rather push it up, I can say I don't know when he did not make 20,000 a year. That would imply his income is in excess of 20,000 a year. I remember when he was just awakening by an employee. He is not awakening any longer. So you can take this technique and apply it to any other woman. I remember when she was madly in love with one that I disapproved of. I remember when I couldn't even raise the television because she would not listen to me. Her father and I disapproved completely. But that thought he was heard of a prayer. And so what could I do about it? But I remember when that was a problem. It's no longer a problem. You can take the same attitude towards every problem in the world and bring about the solution. I remember when he had entertained. I remember when. And you can do this with everything in the world. Now, this is something that I did not induce. Visions are things you do not sit down and induce and will. No power in the world can sit and induce a vision. A vision to me is truth unmodified by the conceptual mind. You don't rationalize it. You don't sit down and Think about it. It just happens. And we are telling the book of the universe. If there be a prophet among you, I, the power will make myself known unto him in a vision. And I will speak to him in a dream. For the Lord is of a liar. So he speaks with you in a dream. But then listen carefully. When the Lord repeats the dream, it forms a great purpose. He tells you that is not fixed. And go out and tell it. Tell it as though you have received it, that everyone heard it as you received it. For the thing is now fixed by God. And God will surely bring it to press. But since I started telling that, I can tell you the most wonderful stories, the most fantastic results. That people are profit for their five events in a simple way. They think of someone that they know and mainly carry on a conversation with another. I remember when relative to the other. I remember when he was terribly disturbed because of a certain problem. And look at it now. Well, that would imply he's no longer disturbed. And take any problem in the world and then patient and remember when. And it's no longer that problem. So here this man remembered when he could see a foster building one mile away. That wonderful landscape building. And then the man next door has the furnace, all the barrels. I remember when I saw Budapest. I remember when I could see the entire valley. It's grand busy for Los Angeles. And see it so vividly at night when it's all lit up. I remember wind and the trees dark. I remember when that Jack used to clear up all the rocks in this place. He no longer tears any rail. He goes back into the backyard and uses a little knife for its purpose. And so you can take any problem in this world and take it with this little technique. I remember when it works, you will come twice. Jesus and who did it? You will say within yourself I. And who is proving it now when you say I remember fame. I am. Well, that's his name. The word I am. The word I am is Jehovah. Jehovah is Jesus. Jesus is Jehovah. It's wow. God became as I am, that I may be as he is. God became as we are, that we may be as he is. He isn't pretending that he's us. He actually became us. Until he awakens in us. Let us test his power. And simply can't bring things into this world that seemingly are seemingly impossible. Like a 15 year habit of a cat. That's an impossible thing. And to have a body for that nature of 15 years broken in three days without raising up fingers everywhere. Isn't that an impossible thing? But with God all things are possible. It may be impossible to man, but that man didn't do it. He sat down quietly in his mind and saw the cat on the outside tearing out the maps in a space there for the purpose to sharpen her tails or nails but knock his lovely rough and suddenly the cat goes out and performs the act which in his mind's eye he saw who did it. The only Christ could do it before he found Christ. So here that's not a Bible, you will found him. At least I've introduced you to him. But there's no compulsion like that and make you accept him. So many people find it more comforting to go before a picture on a wall or some piece of little flower resembling a human form and worship it. Although we have worn all full script to make no raven image unto me. But now men will still do it. I was on TV and saw but this panel of mine, this archaeologist came on and we had two ministers, one Baptist and one Adventist. And plus the seven archaeologists when I tell them of my experiences of course they're coming to them because that is not the way they understand the great Christian mystery that isn't so at all as far as they were concerned. Then as the hours by dollars a two hour plan two amber show this archaeologist takes some huge big canvas and he begins to unread it before the camera's eye. And here he is telling us that this is an actual picture, the actual picture of Christ Jesus that the lights coming through are actually gone upon some kind of a cloth and that the imprint I say to him, I've taken the blood Peter against the one client. I said you are not theologist. I'm going to accept that as you know. You two are ministers of the word as you say. Aren't you told that unless you look like him? That's not he. Where is that? In the book of John, the first epistle of John, the third chapter. But here he does not yet appear what we shall be for but we know that when he appears he can't be like him. I said to the archlous, do you look like him? Do you fully resemble what you're looking at? You don't, I don't and they don't. And yet you dare to tell this vast audience through TV that this is an actual picture of Jesus Christ. All the ministers would have gone on with that. They want to go along with that. They want to believe in something outside of themselves to whom they can turn. So few will accept the True Jesus. They haven't the courage to actually accept him and live in his name and only call upon his name. And his name is I am. That's his name called Jesus. Paul. Say I am as he do it and say I am. This I am making the cat. What do I do with the cat? I am sealed. The cat upside. Now that's what I'm doing with the cat. And the camp takes three days. No, it takes three days to break a 15 year habit. I want you to be. Now I am seeing the beautiful scene across the valley. Not seeing. But don't you see it? What I'm saying is I am seeing a beautiful scene across the valley. But you can't if you said it to anyone else. Look at the trees rock in your view. I am seeing the scene and they die. And then I'm seen on the scene. And the men chops them down. And no one will believe for one moment that he who is seeing it is exercising price. But I will tell all. You wait. The day will come. Lately tonight you will taste our fantastic power. The power that animates the whole vast wheel of the currents and turns it on its axis. And the day will come. You'll be detached from it. And you will be among those who are turning it and watching evening for the word to hatch out. And if the word is hatching out, the very one in whom it hatches, you detach it. If you walk the real worm in a while longer. When he reaches exit, having gone through all these scenes, he has detached permanently. And he will join the heavenly host. And everyone in time is connecting one by one. Not in brooks, all one by one. So here the spirit gives life. They got into the spirit of it. A man gets into the spirit of talking in his imagination with a little girl being. He completely forgets what he did. And here the wife does enjoyment. He didn't take the wife beyond the door in his imagination. He only took his door because he was the one reading. Three of them. Because she'd never gone to a plane before who might have flown. Let's not fail to talk to her about it. But someone who hasn't flown. You want to comfort them, you want to protect them, make them at ease. And so he takes a little pillow in his mind's eye and shows how things are made and how things move up towards the departure. How things are coming in and how they get off. One day when you get aboard by the girl, I put an extra window. Explain all the things without to her to comfort him. That's what he did, I noticed at the zoo almost at the end of the journey it comes on this Washington. I did this exactly six weeks ago. Again, we do not recognize our own harvest release. He knows today who Jesus Christ is. When I came back from Barbados last month, there was a little waiting for we found this man, the most marvelous man. He said never to talk enough to use my imagination. But I had the biggest economic month in the month of July. I'm running a bigger bonus than I made July. And July was my biggest economic month since I have been in business as the man is 40 years old. He said, but I have something far more strong than that. These things are essential in the world of season one Lust your body. I must have it. I have a family. I have all the obligations that go in a family and I assume these obligations. So I must meet them and I'm going in multiwell Since I began to use my imagination. But I had three brotherly mystical experiences that I wouldn't get all that much in the world if I had to give them up here at night, strangely enough, as I was going to bed I began to meet accountably the joy of having heard of Christ Jesus. Then suddenly I felt myself moved into infinite spaces. I had no body. I was a center of consciousness with feeling but no body. And the strangest, most fantastic being is accompanied me as I am moving through infinite space. And all I could say and I heard myself say does God? God repeated the word of God that I came back in sheer bliss. It was just joy. I simply closed my eyes again up. I contemplated it for a moment and I repeated the scene, the whole thing repeated it. And I came back even more ecstatic than the first. And last night, said he, as I called upon one of my clients. I sat in the car and I thought it's still too early to go home. So what? I would have stood here simply meditate. As I closed my eyes I suddenly became aware of being just a center of feeling. And through the door I went without opening the door of a cloud. I went through an adjacent hospital without opening the doors of the hospital. I went through all the rooms in the hospital. I felt the very pain and straining up Neville I backed and saw the infinite soul of God. I saw it and I knew it was the soul of God. And I am fused with it. As I fused with it, the words came into my being. I felt repeating to myself I and the Father are one, we are one. And I kept on saying one, one, one, one. And I wrote repeating the words long and that happened now, he said, while sitting the car. I was so elated. I sat there in the same meditative mood. And suddenly for me came afraid, contained in what would be the area of an automobile tire flame, that he was consuming nothing, burning, but without consuming anything. And suddenly out of nowhere, who of course knows his approach. And I knew it was Moses. He approached, throw in a tan robe and looked into the wild. And then to the right came Abraham, clothed in a white robe. And then came Paul. But I knew these things intimately. I knew it was Paul, I knew it was Abraham, But I knew it was actually Moses. I can't tell how I know what I knew. The three of them merged into one being. And I knew the name of that one being. And that one being was Jesus. I looked at the body and out of the body of Jesus, who do you think I saw him? I saw myself. I am coming out of the body of Jesus. It is my body. Now here is this man you are. You are aware by the useless imagination in business I would give the whole thing up for the ecstasy of these mystical experiences. But it has nothing to do with pain in the he is bound Christ funklust within himself who can take care of his family beautifully and still have these expanding, wonderful mystical experiences. Now here's a character, the father of a little girl being. All these things are taking place in our wonderful world as they go from coast to coast telling the story of Christ Jesus, telling everyone who will listen who he is. He established me and there as man's own wonderful human imagination. So when you say I am, if you're in vain, it is Christ in vain. If you say I am in your love and it's Christ in love. If you say I am of the mother you already blessed, it's Christ in depressed. Then go back and read the 53rd chapter of the book of Isaiah. A great suffering servant. He suffers in every man who suffers and rejoices in every man who he loses. And the day will come, he will rise in that. And man rises with him. And it's the man who is rising. He so completely gave himself to man. Only that main rises, not two. One rise and a few well operated in identity. Now a changed identity. But for all the sameness of present a radical, radical discontinuity of form. And the form is the form of God. Although you cannot see it with normal eye. It's the form of God that will follow you when you are detached from this being. If you take this technique. I remember when, I remember when. And I just Put anything on it if you like. You denied patrons of a certain color and you would like to join a certain club. I remember when they wouldn't accept me. I remember when I was not a member. That would imply you are a member if you so desire. I remember when I knew fantastic things can happen with that one simple little technique. I remember when and put anything in this world upon it. That statement in itself came to me from the depths of my soul through vision. The story of grandfather and the second experience of the same night. I was brainwall and standing on an empty lot. I could say I never rain. This was an empty lot. And indeed my word of my desire for that lot. And the lot came visibly before those to whom I spoke and used the technique. I would imagine. Where did we come from? All things come from God. There's no other place. No origin of Son of God. No origin of Son of God. If I can quote for you Sir James. James. He said looking at this fabulous universe. He was an astrophysis by the way. He'd been asked the question time and time again. What makes you think before you have the physicist. But there's only life on earth. Life as we know it. A main biological life called man. Especially man. Because he maintained after all of his studies looking through the telescopes using his mathematical concepts of life that he couldn't find any thought of the entire vast universe suited to house what we call man. But no place in the universe as an after physicist. And he is still to this day considered one of the truly great anthropicists of all time. This is the James. And he wrote a little book called man and the Stars. And the one who questioned his life decided that no place in God's fabulous world could prowess and favor man. But better he said. Having been a scientist all my life, let me now share with you my own experiences. Even under the microscope. I use the telescope to examine the heavens. I use the microscope to examine the different value things of life. And man. In his attempt to reproduce himself expose billions of potential men and one will come out. This is God's explosion. And one could cradle his purpose which is man. That's the same thing. It came from God. The whole vast thing is God. He claimed it. Just as it has come out and as it will be consummated. He will not be altered because that's his purpose. That's his plan. You couldn't come from any other place but God. I do not accept the incarnation. I don't. People accept it. To justify the inequalities of birth. But I don't see the inequalities as an essential part of God's claim. That's part of his training. He's not a God of retribution. People insist that God must be as man. Kilo is because he is a being of retribution. He gets even a fight for an eye and two for two. But God is a God of love. And that thought if he puts himself with the furnace, it's himself that goes with the furnace. That he may send you right into his likeness. His purpose is to make man in his image. The point of that piece of play without the KS consent. The quick ancestor, my wife be safe. And it may be hurting. Maybe hurt me as I put him on that wheel. And we are hurt of the queen. But when we come up, we are gone. Indelible life in ourselves. I'm talking to you as the same clay that you are. I can tell you as I stand here, I taste it on the power of the age to come the promise that in him is life. As the Father has life in himself, so he has granted a son also to have life in himself. So when I am designated son of God by reason of my resurrection from the dead, as I am told in the book of Romans, will be able to have complete life in myself before it falls complete. I have feasted on it. I know what it is to stop the wheel. We suspect and should talk of the dead. For that is our destiny to have light in ourselves as our organized life in himself. I will accept that. As I was set to work then, the word faith has disturbed me. Feared the Lord. I find in my concordance today that the Word has been wrongly translated. Because our use of the Word may be the word fail men centuries ago once a day our scholar claims the word really means which is rhaps to be fair above that's all the difference in the world. Therefore the word gets used by you. Many ages ago was an entirely different meaning. I don't know. But I can't conceive of the God of love who so loved me. He became me in any way reveal him. I can't conceive of it. Especially when I read the scripture in the book of. Well, the book of Romans. In every chapter of Romans. And God is confined all men to disobedience that he may have mercy on. If he must be treated not to disobey. For then why complain? You read in the 11th chapter of the book of Romans and God has confined all men with disobedience that he may have mercy upon Our he's a God of mercy. If I didn't disobey with his prompting. I would never know the difference between right and wrong. Good and evil. In other words, conscience would not be born. I remain forever in a garden of innocence. But I must leave innocence. And enter the world of experience. To enter the world of experience. I have the power from innocence through disobedience. And disobedience was all within me. Conscience. Conscience must awaken me. You know, in the world in which we live. We didn't jump from space. We tumble in consciousness. And in this very world today. There's devils walking with us who conscience hasn't ignored. They have no knowledge of right and wrong. None whatsoever. In little Barbados, where I was just a few months ago. My nephew sat on the jury. A man is on trial. For obvious sense. He was caught for the goods. He had other goods in his home. He's stubborn. One of the jury, this boy is saying, I don't see anything wrong in there. A jury. So my nephew said, you see nothing wrong in the man stealing. Just against the law of the land. You appear because you promise when you took the bull. That you uphold the law of the land. And that's the Northern man. I see nothing wrong with it. If I was hungry, I'd go next door and steal a ticket. I'd steal his corn. I'd steal anything. You call it stealing. I wouldn't call it stealing if he had gone and he held up against. He had 11 to a club on the jury. And he would not bring in a unanimous verdict. So my neighbor said to him, you know, I'll tell you a little bit of the law of the land. Now, you saw that you were. Taxi. Come in here and sit with the rest of us. With the knowledge of the law of the land. As explained to you by the judge before you came in. For he challenged the Jedi jury. And explained to the jury what the law means. I'm going to go back and tell him that you killed him yourself. You know what I mean? Six months in jail for him for that he's guilty. Imagine that once happened before when his skin wouldn't be touched. The man wasn't guilty. Now that his wouldn't be hurt. The man is guilty automatically. He hasn't yet eaten on the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And yet he's walking in the year 1964. That's why I said the field is closed. But we're all in it, and it makes no difference. 1964 or the year ten hundred or the year twenty. What section of it doesn't mean that because you're living on the year 1964. There we know more of good and evil and those who live in the year one. I know that many of you have the experience with this morning. I said for a man, a matured man sitting on the jury and he could not see whether men caught with all the goods in the world had done wrong. He has no consciousness of right and wrong. He has not yet eaten of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And yet we have all to eat of it. Every man must eat of it. Conscience. Conscience may be born. When conscience is born, then the journey starts. And you start the whole math journey when it was a dictator has no conscience born within it. And yet he's dictating about 200 million people conflicts today the in this world there'll be over 600 million people without conscience. Because a man's life means nothing. He rubs a bell. He doesn't go beyond the grating and he simply begins to visit it. But he knows everything Stone. Indeed he doesn't believe anything more than an animal life conscious is involved. Whatever could be done with night sentence white in this mind color nothing wrong about it. The only thing wrong in his mind so it was caught. So time is not the doing. But the father's caught and planned everything just as it's coming out and it's going to be culminated. I don't know that you would want to comment on this. But how can we hope that the cloud will carry a point Captain of as far as I'm concerned, not a thing is done as well aided by it. As far as I am concerned. I don't see how a person by being locked out is in any way helped and the people left behind helped. I don't see it. But doesn't it determine? I don't think that that has been proved. I don't think so many person knows now waiting a lifetime in jail where I'll be dead. First of all, leave your hand first. If I don't accept the incarnation one who was born with a hunchback or deformed that anyway he would prove an unjust God. My dear, to me God plays all the part.
