They Did Not Die – Neville Goddard (04-28-1964) | Full Reading + Commentary

Neville Goddard 1964 Lectures They Did Not Die April 28, 1964 Tonight's subject is they did not Die. It is possibly the most difficult subject to discuss, but I'll do my best. We turn to the greatest of all books, the Bible. And so the Old Testament really is prophetic history. Everything in it will come to pass. Everything. So we turn to the 51st chapter of Jeremiah, the 39th verse. While they were inflamed. Inflamed. I prepared a feast for them and made them drunk till they swooned. And then they slept a perpetual sleep and did not awake, says the Lord. While they were inflamed. The word translated inflamed is a self imposed trance really. To become so completely carried away with a story that is being told me that I'm completely inflamed. I'm entranced. And so the feast prepared is the story told me. I'm being told a story of transcending myself and I'm feasting upon it. Then I feast upon it until I swoon away, I am drunk. And then in this state as I swoon away, I sleep a perpetual sleep and do not wake. What's hypnosis? That's the story. Or hypnosis is kind of strong. How about what's being convinced of something? That's the story. You who have your Bibles can check it. It's the 51st chapter, the 39th verse of Jeremiah. Now I know from experience that nothing dies. But nothing dies. The little flower that blooms will once blooms forever. And yet in this world of ours, everything seems to come into being. It waxes, it wanes and it disappears. Everything. So we see things constantly dying that are born and then they die. And yet I can tell you from my own experience that nothing dies. So tonight we'll take this and try to take it in the limited time from different angles. The Bible Beginning the Bible begins in the beginning. God. This is Genesis. The book of Genesis ends on the note in a coffin in Egypt. Genesis 11, 50, 26. All ends run true to origins. The origin is God in the beginning. God in a coffin in Egypt. The word translated coffin is also translated ark. And so Blake said, man is either the ark of God or a phantom of the earth and the sea. I say man is that ark that contains God. And God being all that there is, everything goes into the ark. And the ark is man. So in the beginning, God in a coffin in Egypt. But the one placed in that coffin is called Joseph. And Joseph was called the dreamer. Behold, this dreamer cometh Genesis 37, 19. Now, the Bible recognizes only one source of dreams. All dreams proceed from God. So Joseph is the prototype of God. So the dreamer is put into a coffin, which is man, in Egypt. But he exacts from the sons of Israel a promise that they will not leave him there. They'll bring him out of Egypt into that which was promised by God before this journey started. Now, the Bible itself ends on the note in the end of Revelation, omitting the very last verse, which is only a benediction. But the very last verse of the actual end is Come, Lord Jesus. These are the words. So in the beginning, God in a coffin in Egypt. Come, Lord Jesus. We are told in the New Testament, in Colossians, in Corinthians, that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. The first fruits of those who slept. Of those. Excuse me. The first fruits of those that slept. So here something is placed in the coffin and it seemingly is dead. And the first awakening is called Jesus Christ. The first fruits of those who slept. So come, Lord Jesus. Come awaken us from this dream, this fantastic dream where we are fighting with demons. A very great Irish mystic, poet, painter, essayist. His name was George Russell, but he's better known to us as A.E. he chose the initials A.E. he wrote a book called the Candle of Vision. And in this book he reveals his mystical experiences. The one I would like to use this night he called the Many Colored Land. He said, I will not tell you where I saw it, but saw it I did. I will not tell you where I saw this. And then he describes what he saw. A hall vaster than the largest cathedral, and its pillars made seemingly of living, pulsing opal. And between the pillars were thrones. And they faded into the very end. On these thrones sat divine kings, fiery crested. He said, I saw one who wore the crest of the dragon. Another, as I can describe it, said he, it seemed to be plumes of fire, and they stretched to the very end. At the far end was a throne, higher. And on it sat one greater than the rest. A light like the sun glowed behind him. On the floor there lay a dark figure. And over this dark figure, two of the divine kings waved their hands. And as they waved their hands over this figure, head and body, fire came from the body where the hands. Where the hands moved like some strange moving fire or. He described it as jewels, scintillating jewels coming from the body. Then out of this body came a figure as tall, as glorious, as radiant as those who sat upon the thrones. Then he awoke to the hall and then he became aware of his divine kin and raised his hand in greeting. Those on the thrones leapt from their thrones with hands lifted in greeting to the one who had returned from his long dark journey. Then altogether they moved and vanished into the light. Then he woke here in this world. It's the most perfect picture that I have read concerning this descent into this world. You're only here for a purpose, to play a part. You are here to increase your creative power. You are not a being born in this world at all. But in this descent, when you were entranced from on high, you would have the experience of birth and death. So many years ago I wrote a little tiny. Excuse me. So many years ago I wrote a tiny little pamphlet and I. Excuse me, let me get the sentence again. So many years ago I wrote a tiny little pamphlet and I closed down. And so he went back and I took care of his funeral. Excuse me. And so we went back and I took care of his funeral. He never attended the Catholic church, but he was born in the Catholic faith. And his sister that he never saw and really hardly disliked, but she insisted that Jack should have a Catholic funeral. So we abided by her decision. So he went up to harvest straw, New York and he had the perfect Catholic funeral where the sister went by and kissed the dead body and they all went by and kissed it and did all these things. Well, if that is par for the course or not, I don't know. But that's what they did. Well, I have a sister in law, my wife's sister. She's a pillar of the Episcopal Church in Jersey. And I think she loves me dearly for one reason. Because I take good care of her sister and our child. So being a good father and a good husband, she will tolerate my way of making a living. She doesn't go for it. She said, I don't believe one word you say, Neville. Not a word. Immortality is simply the extension of oneself in children, in their children and their children. But immortality as you teach it, I don't go for it. I said to her, oh boy, after 33 years of this, you've heard it a thousand times. What he's hearing from his sister in law. I said to her, how can you say this when you are a Christian? Don't you know the foundation stone of Christianity is the fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man and life everlasting. And you can't rub out stone. If you rub out one of these foundation stones, the whole building will topple. It's the fatherhood of God, which you find in the words our Father and the belief in the revelation of Christianity is eternal life. You can't rub out one. She said, I will not believe one word you say. Said she. Well, six or seven months after my secretary died, one night I was out consciously, just as I am here. Al. My sister in law came into the room and my secretary, when he says I was out, he was out of body. He was in a lucid dream, he was out. His body's laying over there on the bed and he's out, right? So it's a conscious, aware, out of body state where you're not involved in the three dimensional body, but you're in the fourth dimensional body. Whatever words you want to use to understand that, that's fine with me. I'm not here to call things specific, this or that. It's just he was out of body six or seven months after my secretary died. Al. One night I was out consciously, just as I am here, Al. My sister in law came into the room and my secretary, who was then so called dead six or seven months already he came into the room. She said to me, I still don't believe one word you teach Neville. Then I said to her, how can you say that when you see Jack? She said, what has he to do with what you teach? I said, don't you know that he died six months ago? See, she's not consciously out. She's in a dream state, so she's not aware. Well, when I made the statement, all of a sudden I can see her face begin to show a certain memory image. And she begins to bring back the knowledge that he did die six months ago. As she's looking at Jack and Jack is here, solidly real, I said to her, I'll show you how real he is. I said, jack, come over here. So Jack came and I put my hand on his thigh and the thigh was as solid as this. I said, you see, my hand doesn't go through his thigh. He's real. He's solidly real. And with this, Jack did this to me. He slapped my hand away. He slapped his hand away. He said, take your hands off. Jack said, just what he would have done were he here. There was no transforming power in death. Can't repeat that sentence enough. There was no transforming power in death. The same Jack on the wheel of recurrence. There is no death. But there are wheels within wheels within wheels in this world. I can completely vouch for this. I've said it in a video before, but I'll go ahead and bring it up to date as well. It's the same story. I was in a lucid dream, an out of body state. To me, I would call it strong lucid slash semi out of body, deep vision, clear as a bell, conscious as this. Me talking to you right now as conscious, even more so conscious. Piece of paper in front of me, pencil in my hand, I'm taking notes, I can look at the paper and I can read what's on the paper. That's when I know I'm in a lucid state, out of body, I'm reading, literally. And I got my notes on this paper and I'm just taking some notes with a pencil again. Like I said before in the other video, it's a very flimsy paper like the ones you had in grade school that were kind of really weak paper. They weren't thick like a regular college, college bound, notebook, pad, notepad type of paper, but thin. So I'm asking my friend Jeff, tell me, tell me what time it is. Because my whole premise, just like Neville's with her, trying to convince her that Jack's not dead, I'm over here trying to convince my friend Jeff there is no such thing as time. Just I, you know, I was challenging him, just tell me what time it is so I can prove to you time doesn't exist because this place we're in. It was something I could easily prove to him if he could just tell me what time it was in that moment. Well, Jeff wasn't out. Like I was in that room that I was in. It was like a break room of some sort. And there was tables and other people were sitting at other tables, a couple guys were at other tables. And I asked him multiple times, tell me what time it is, just tell me what time it is. And at some point, just like the memory image formed on her face that Neville's describing, Jeff, his face started to change, Specifically, he started shaking, like vibrating. And I knew what he was doing. I knew he was trying to wake up and leave the dream he was in with me where I was completely conscious, even more conscious than I am right now talking to you right now. He decided he didn't want anything to do with learning about how time doesn't exist. He decided to wake up and leave the dream and go back, return to where his consciousness is normally focused in bed or if he was awake that day, I don't know in that moment, at that point in the night, I don't know. And it was definitely to him just a Dream to me, out of body, lucid experience, full memory, full conscious. Will never forget it. Especially when I saw him wake up and leave. At that point, I asked the other guys in the room. I said, hey, you guys want to get involved with this? You want to learn about time and just tell me what time it is, and they don't want anything to do with it. Then I think at that point, I just slowly faded and came out of there. And then was back in my consciousness, in my bed. Same exact thing. Very similar. Very, very similar. Then the scene shifted. Well, the previous sentence, there is no death, but there are wheels within wheels within wheels in this world. Then the scene shifted from that moment. And the most pleasant, I would say a few years. I would say few years that Jack had on that little wheel. He died at the age of 50. So in 50 years, the most pleasant experience was in Florida when he managed some little citrus grove of 150 acres. The scene shifted from that moment. And the most pleasant, I would say, few years that Jack had on this little wheel. So in the 50 years, the most pleasant experience was in Florida when he managed some little citrus grove of 150 acres. He managed it on the basis of so much per month. And then if a profit, he got a profit. But he was living in the open, and he just loved it. So the scene shifted. And there we are in Florida, and he's throwing grapefruit at me. I caught a few. And then she said, where's my grapefruit? She's obviously there with them. At that very moment, my little girl. Oh, no, excuse me. This is different. I caught a few. And then she said, where's my grapefruit? At that very moment, my little girl, who was then only about four or five years old, she said, daddy, time for breakfast. No, it was. Excuse me. The gal is there. The whole thing shifted still. The three people you had. Jack, his secretary, and you got the gal that was telling the story. And I forget what her name is right now, but that doesn't matter. The scene shifted for all three of them. Then they're at the grapefruit grove. Okay. Then his daughter's calling him in for, daddy, time for breakfast. And then I snapped in. Then I. And I snapped in and was back in this world on this wheel. This is a wheel right here. There are wheels with wheels within wheels, and nothing dies. So the purpose. So the purpose of it all is to awaken the dreamer in the beginning. God in a coffin. This is the coffin. This. And this is Egypt. Come, Lord Jesus, the First fruits of those who rose from the dead. Come that promise in me that I will not leave you. For I exacted a promise from the sons of Israel. They would not leave me in Egypt. They would take my body out, out of Egypt and bring it into the promised land. So I'm asking to come, Lord Jesus, that he will take me, the being encased in this coffin, in this ark where all things are contained, and awaken me. Christianity is only the awakening. That's all it is, the awakening from this age into that age. So man thinks while he is on this wheel, that we are moving towards the inevitable climax of good in this world. The climax, as has already occurred with the words, it is finished. It is finished, is simply the end of one age and the beginning of a new one. A new age that is marked by the resurrection. So we are resurrected from this age into an entirely different age. This is what spoke, what he's speaking of right now, is that the mystical experience is known as the promise. But we come into this age just as A E saw it so clearly and so vividly that here, this dark figure entranced on the floor in this opalescent, scintillating world where these already resurrected divine kings dwell and these sons of Israel would not let him remain there. He's entranced and he's dreaming this world. For the dreamer was the one embalmed and put in a coffin in Egypt, for his name was Joseph. Behold, this dreamer cometh, and they took him and sold him into Egypt. Then Joseph died and they embalmed him and put him in the ark in a coffin in Egypt. Genesis 50:26. But the verse before the end of the first book, the book of Genesis, the verse before the end, he exacts the promise. Do not leave my bones, my body, in Egypt. Bring me out and take me into the land that was promised. Then comes the next book is Exodus. So the seed plot of the Bible is Genesis. It's also the great, I would say, introduction to this unfolding picture. Love, Genesis. So here, when I say nothing dies, I mean it seriously. You're on a wheel, and the wheel is perfect. You can't change it. You get off the wheel. And may I tell you, this night, what is the secret of getting off the wheel? It is revision. Revision is repentance. Repentance, which I call today. Revision for repentance simply means a radical change of attitude towards life. Then you break life's invidious bond and turn the circle, the wheel of recurrence, into a spiral ascension. You turn it Right into a spiral and conquer Zion, or the home of God. So David built in a circle, and he built inward at one and the same time. And to accomplish this unusual, strange architectural feat, it could only be done if you built in a spiral. Second Samuel 5, 6, 9. And now I'm speaking from experience. By practicing revision, you don't allow anything in this world to be as it as it is. If it isn't pleasing you, change it. Therefore you will not. When the wheel turns, you will not come back to that point. You've changed it. It will not return to that. Excuse me? It will not return to that point. It will return in the form of a spiral. And instead of being in a circle of recurrence, when the wheel turns, you are turning on the spiral by changing one event in your present recurring circle in the Seth material. Again, what he said so wonderfully was this one phrase. Every action changes every other action. And what does revision do? It changes every other action. When you take the action of revision and change an action in your memory which doesn't exist in the real world, it's only in your memory. And you revise that memory to be a different picture, that's an action. And every other action you can take is going to be different. Every action changes every other action. You can never return to the original action. Why would you want to? What's the purpose of revision in the first place? Then once you do this revision, you know every action changes every other action. You cannot deny that. If you study Seth, it will thoroughly get you to see why that's true and why you must accept that as a fact. And that's exactly what revision is. As the same thing. Once you revise an event, it will not be the same. You can't even see the event the same because you're in a different place. You can never return to the original. Why would you want to? The purpose of revision is to not be in that mind of that original experience. You change the memory which changes who you are. You become self persuaded of the new you. The old man dies and then you move not on the wheel of recurrence. When you do revision, you don't just go repeating the same thing over and over into another wheel of recurrence. You go in a spiral, which going in a spiral is the four mystical experiences. It's becoming the promise. That's the becoming of it. Revision is the ultimate. Ultimate. Ultimate. Did I say it three times? I told you three times. It's the ultimate. Ultimate, ultimate. Get with it. Just do it now. There is a lady here this night. She and her husband. And three weeks ago, last Friday, she said to me, I lost my father. My father died. I told her, without explaining in detail that what you just heard. What I did with the lady in my Bible class 20 years ago. She came back two weeks later. And I said to her, this is Friday night. You go forward in time one week, it's still Friday. And you reflect upon the thrill for all. For of all the pleasures of the world, relief is the most keenly felt. This is one of the most important things Neville has ever said and is saying. And I'm sure he will say it more, but just take a note. Knock on the chalkboard. Of all the pleasures of the world, relief is the most keenly felt biggest part of the law of manifestation or law of assumption or whatever. Who cares? The words, the biggest word to understand. How do you become the new you? You use relief in the feeling that it is so. In the feeling that is fulfilled. Your wish is fulfilled. What's it feel like after you eat the pizza? Relief. Relief from hunger. This is Friday night. You go forward in time one week, and it's still Friday. And you reflect upon the thrill. For all the pleasures of the world, relief is the most keenly felt. So you feel the relief that is yours. Because you know beyond all doubt from actual experience that your father lives. He hasn't died. He survived. She didn't come back for two weeks. But she could tell me on the seventh day when which was the night of Thursday of the following week envisioned, she met her father. So she knows now beyond all doubt, that the father hasn't died. She knows it. She knows it from experience. Took one week to prove beyond all doubt. Not going through a medium, no medium tells her or tries to persuade her. She knows she had the experience that her father lives. Only a few weeks ago. I had one of many recurring dreams, if it was even two weeks ago. I'm at the house I grew up in. And my father's there, right there in the living room for some reason. I'm either working on a window or doing something with the window. Or I'm going through the window, or I'm looking out the window, or I'm going through the door and he's in here on the couch and there's the doorway. Or he's standing over here and I'm doing some things. Or I'm moving a car in and out of the driveway. Or parking. Which is all normal things we did at the time. You know, dealing with the Cars and the street sweeper and all these other little things of life. And here I've constantly returned to this house. And recently I. I was at my friend's house who lives up that way, where this house is. I drove by and I saw. Because you can see the house from the main boulevard and I saw the For Sale sign. And so I. On the way back from my friends, I go back down that street and I see the For Sale sign. I'm like, wow. So I go on Zillow and they have an interior, bunch of photos, you know, because they're selling the house. Mind blowing what's happened on that property. Just mind blowing. You know, they took out. They took out a sliding door which I forgot about was there that I. That my sister. I shared this with my family and just the changes in the house were completely crazy. But I'm always having a dream with my father in there constantly. Sometimes I have him and his wife and it's nice. Sometimes her, mostly him. Well, now, a gentleman wrote me a letter that I received today to show you how this works. He said a friend of mine was out of work for quite a while. So I simply approach. Applied this principle towards him. In the past I've applied this principle of imagining towards many things. But it happened so naturally I thought it would have happened anyway. So I put it down to coincidence. But in this case, my friend being out of work, I applied it and he got a job, a fine job. It meant going to New York, or rather going off to Connecticut and be trained for the job, to be trained in a month. Then the next thing I heard that they had filled the job. Someone in the east got the job and so they didn't complete it here. I felt a bit disappointed. Then I remembered the story of revision. So I revised it. I revised the entire thing that I heard about my friend and saw him in the job. He's only revising what he heard. You can revise anything. Then came Friday and I thought I'd give a little party the following day. Thought I'd call a few friends in and have a little fun. I called a friend of mine and he was busy. He couldn't come. But he was curious and asked me, who are you having. I mentioned this friend of mine who had been turned down on this job. He said to me, you better call him right away because he's leaving on Sunday for New York City. I said, did he get the job? He said, yes, a better job. He was turned down on the one. Then they called him back through the same agency and gave him a better job. Now he's leaving on Sunday for New York City to be trained for one month in Connecticut and then back to the job. Now he's not here tonight, but his letter came to me today. Wonderful testimonials. So I can tell you from experience, we are on wheels. Wheels within wheels within wheels. And no one knows that they play this part over and over and over again. Yes, three times. And believe me, you can take that to the power of a thousand. You can cube and a thousand exponential, the cube, a thousand more. It's just the same role over and over and over until you learn to practice revision. Revision will bring you out of that recurrence wheel and take you in a spiral up and out of that whole recurring repetitive habit. It's where your freedom is. Revision. True freedom. Of course, to do revision, you're using your imagination. What is your imagination? It's God. What's God? Jesus. What's Jesus? Your imagination. You putting it to use. When you do revision. That means you use him, who's been here the whole time, who's been with you, suffering with you on those wheels, within wheels and within wheels. You think he's not happy that you're going to do some revision? You're going to practice a couple little revisions, one a day, even just one a day. You think he's not happy. You think he's not ready to give you complete and total abundance that you've always wanted, but he can't do it for you. You are the operant power. But believe me when I tell you he's probably going like this. So I can tell you from experience, we are on wheels within wheels within wheels within wheels. And no one knows that they play this part over and over and over again. You won't break life's invidious bar until you start repenting. And repenting is simply revision. The first proclamation in the earliest gospel is the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel. Mark 1:14. To repent is to radically change your attitude towards life. Completely change it, no matter how factual it is. So the job isn't his. He's been turned down. Somebody else got it. And it's 3,000 miles away. And you can't argue with them. I will not accept it. I will see my friend in that job. I will persuade myself that he has the job. And then I call him on a date. He's leaving. Not he's leaving on Sunday. I'm calling him on Friday. Asking him for a date on Saturday. And he's pulling out Sunday. And he's pulling out Sunday to be trained in the East. That is breaking the wheel of recurrence and turning it in to the ascent, the spiral. That's exactly what David did when he conquered Zion. For above, we are told, only the blind, the lame and the halt were necessary to keep him away forever. And so, unlike all the others who tried to storm it from without, he went up the water shaft in a spiral. You go up the water shaft in a spiral. By practicing the art of revision. So if I gave nothing to the world in my 59 years so far, I have given the art of revision. It isn't new, it's simply repentance. But repentance after the years of misuse is like a ship at sea with barnacles. It should be taken in and scraped. Because today, repentance in the world mostly means remorse, regret. After unnumbered centuries of believing that repentance means to feel regretful and remorseful, that was not the original intention and never was, and it still, still is not. It is simply a radical change of attitude towards life. And so I discovered it. It wasn't new. There's nothing new under the sun, as we are told. Is there a thing of which it is said, See, this is new. It was before, in ages past. But there is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of things to come after among those who will follow later. Ecclesiastes 1:10. Because they are, excuse me, because they are on a wheel, and the wheel is so vast. There are wheels within wheels within wheels. I am very grateful for revision in my study in the Seth material. And I know I keep bringing it up. Seth very wonderfully describes how it's all now. The eternal now is your moment of power. It's where everything is happening is right now. You create the past in your mind or the future in your mind. But you can only do it in a now. Having gotten that lesson down, I understood that concept conceptually, of course, but I did not. There was something vibrating in that past bubble. I would draw this on the board in my classes. You can only see something in the past because it's in your now. You can only see it there. Or you can see it in the future because it's in your now, in the center bubble. But you can't. Excuse me. It occurred to me the whole time, teaching that, living it, understanding it, practicing it, there was something missing within me about that past bubble. I knew it was malleable but I didn't understand to what degree it was malleable. And I always struggled with my studies of the Seth material was like looking at a picture and going, that picture is me. How could I change that? That was a big one in my beginning of that whole understanding. But. But the picture is relative to your now, and it's not relative to it. So if you do a revision the picture, the revision of the memory changes everything that is included with it. So if that picture belonged to that memory and you change the memory, well, you've inserted a different picture. You go to look at those photo albums, they will be different. This was the difficulty I had in the beginning. But the problem. But the one thing I want to clear up right now is that I knew something was missing. I knew something was missing in that past bubble. And after studying Neville in the beginning, January 1, 2020. I'm sorry, 2022. And we got it. And he got into revision. And some of those lectures, those early ones I heard, I really. It finally clicked. It finally came together. And it is a very difficult thing without the body of the Seth material in you. For instance, it's a very difficult thing to take on board and go, okay, wait a minute. But it really does work as simply as he's describing it. Neville, you don't need to go to the Seth material. I know I bring it up quite a bit because I understand it so deeply. And Neville reconciles that material wonderfully. It reconciles both together wonderfully. But you don't need that body of work. Neville's best thing is imagine now. And that clears everything up. I was on a phone with a friend just before I'm starting to record this video. And we were talking about this whole idea of psychological this and psychological this that. I'm like, no, with Neville, you don't need to go and get into the weeds of understanding your problems or laying on a couch and telling somebody else your problems. None of that stuff. You just start imagining right now. This is what Neville brings to the table. It's right now. What do you imagine right now? If you don't like what's going on, you're the one imagining it. Your imagination can create it differently right now. Not through therapy, not through all kinds of different gymnastics and cartwheels. And we had a good conversation, my friend, tonight, we've been having the same conversation since 1991. He just reminded me of Florence Scoville, Shinn. Just today we were talking about. And he'll watch the video. What's up, Danny? So Florence Scoville Shin was one of the first books that my teacher turned me onto, and then I would discuss it with Danny. With you, Danny. And yet, we learned a lot out of that book in 1991 and 92. It was amazing. Okay, well, take this wheel. In 1901, these two educators, Ms. Mobley and Ms. Jordan. Ms. Mobley was principal at St. Hughes College at Oxford, and Ms. Jordan was vice principal, who, when she resigned the principalship that then Ms. Jordan, became principal. They came from a long line of educators. Therefore, they were schooled in observing and knowing how to really observe carefully what they were supposed to pass an opinion on. Well, in 1901, they made the trip to Versailles, and when they returned after the vacation in Versailles, they wrote an account of their experiences. And they paralleled. They duplicated each other. You could superimpose one upon the other, and they fitted. It was not that they should have seen. It was not what they should have seen in Versailles. Well, In Versailles, in 1901, they both slipped in time and went back to Versailles when the Queen was there, just prior to the execution, they saw the entire picture. The costumes of the people, what they wore, what they did, the little bridge that is no longer there. And their account was so accurate that the French government made a thorough investigation of what they said they saw as against what today the French government presents as factual. And they rearranged that picture to conform what they saw by investigation. The little bridge that was not there, they replaced. The costumes that were not worn, they replaced because a thorough investigation proved that their vision of what they saw actually saw was the true vision of that period. It hadn't passed away. Wonderful example. You don't know when you slip through time. I'm here to tell you from experience, you don't know when you slip through time. You are observing a different time. And I don't know if it's proper to say a different age, but I have seen it myself in a different time. I think I had a glimpse today on the phone with my buddy. I had a glimpse today while I was on the phone, and it was amazing. And I have to. I'm going to have to gel it to be able to describe it. It's not words right now, but this is this paragraph going to Versailles, 1901. They slipped through time to a previous time of the Queen before the execution, which I don't know the years. If you can now slip in time into any part of this constant turning wheel, you could see things as they are always. When Sir William Ramsey The English scientist took doses of ether under control, and he had his secretary give the dose and then record what he was observing and experiencing. Then he observed that I now see a man delivering coal. And it seems at the moment that he is delivering coal because someone ordered coal. But at this level of withdrawal, he is not delivering coal because someone ordered coal. It seems to me that he is the eternal part of the structure of the universe. At this moment in time, he is always delivering coal. This reconciles with. Again, back to Seth also. It's the same thing here, but everything is forever. It's the same thing here, but everything, everything is forever. But everything, everything is constantly growing and emanating from itself as a forever. That coal is always being delivered because every moment is forever. If you're on the wheel of recurrence, you're just repeating the forever, forever and forever. So doing revision gets you out of that wheel of recurrence. At this moment in time, that part of the structure of the universe is always delivering coal. So at this moment in time, this thing here is always saying what it's saying. But you break the circle and you come out into the spiral and leave this age and enter an entirely different age. Hamlet remains to be played. It's the 400th year of the great Shakespeare. Hamlet has been played for 400 years, and they've come and gone as actors playing the part. But Hamlet and the internal structure of that creation of Shakespeare remains. Back to the previous paragraph. If you want to get more deeper into that subject, read Jane Roberts, the education of oversoul 7. I believe there's 3. The education of oversoul 7 is 1. The further education of oversoul 7 is 2. And I forget the title of the third one, but there is a third one. I highly recommend those books. If you want to expand that concept of time and slipping through, it's in those books. It's fiction by J.D. roberts, but it's a very good stuff. Back to Shakespeare. Actors come and they play and they go and they play and they go. The actor goes on, and the actor is the one that is called God in Scripture. The actor is the one that was entombed and put in a coffin in Egypt. And this is that coffin. So I am playing parts. And then comes a moment in time where I reach the end of my long, dark journey. And in that wonderful structure, my brothers are waiting, waiting, passing over this dark body of mine while it is entranced on the floor of that heavenly structure. And as they pass their hands over the dark body, they Awaken the fires within it and split it. That cloven pine is riven, and out comes a being as tall, as glorious, as shining as those who are seated on the thrones. Everyone comes out in the same manner. For I exacted before I was entranced a promise they would not leave me entranced. I would dream the dream of life. I would take upon myself the limitation of death and then dream this dream of being born and dying and having nothing and having something and being wanted and being unwanted and being hurt and being severed. No eyes, no arms. All these I would dream. But don't leave me in the dream. Awaken. Awaken me at that moment in time when the dream is complete. Because if I complete the dream, I have increased the power of my creativity and I will join my brothers, my heavenly kin. And as I awake and become awake in the room, I will look around and see those I've always known and see in them raise my hands in salutation. They will leap from their thrones and their hands greeting me with their hands greeting me, and together into the one body called Jesus Christ, only one in this fabulous world. So all of this is the dream. And nothing passes away. It remains fixed, a fixed structure animated by the dreamer as he dreams, he animates it and the whole thing becomes an animated world because of the dreamer, that is God. So the Bible begins in the beginning God and ends come Lord Jesus. But the seed plot of the Bible being Genesis, the end of Genesis is. And he was entombed and placed in a coffin in Egypt. The word coffin is the same as ark. And this is the ark where all things are contained. He takes everything in, in a creative manner, so that they will reproduce. He takes them in pairs so that everything, all the animals, everything goes into the ark. Because God is the ark. Excuse me. Because God is in the ark and there's nothing but God. So the power to create and multiply beyond my wildest dream is, is contained within this ark, this coffin that you see here, but above, that no one sees. Not out in space, but in the depth of the soul. Those that I actually extracted a promise, they would not leave me in the ark. They watch carefully. And when the dream. Excuse me. And when the dream is coming to an end, they pass their hands over my sleeping dark body. From it come splits in the body and sparks come out like scintillating jewels. And suddenly, out from the dark body emerges a being as tall and as glorious and as brilliant as those who were seated on the thrones. I recognized the place for that was where I was entombed and recognized my kin, my divine kin. And I know the end that was promised me. For we come out at. Excuse me. For we. And I know the end that was promised me. For we come out of God as God. We are the Elohim. You are the Elohim, not some little thing on the outside. So when the Elohim said, let us make man in our image, he assumed the limitations of man for the expansion of his creative power. So as Jung brought out in his book, and when he saw himself in deep meditation, he said, aha. So he is meditating me. And when he awakes from his dream, I will no longer be. May I tell you, when you awake from the dream, this age will no longer be to you. But you, the dreamer, will be simply expanded beyond what you were when you began a dream. Not a thing is lost, all is gained. Now do you know that? Now I forget the. I gotta put a quick little story in here. The previous video or two ago, a commenter wrote about saying something positive and it was a very funny thing. And I responded with the Life of Brian, where they're on the. Where they're all crucified. And on that, when they're all singing that song, always look on the bright side of life. And it's the greatest thing to see. And if you look at the lyrics, it's very, very fascinating. There was something here that reminded me that, oh, not a thing is lost, all is gain. And in the end part of that, where the credits are showing in those lyrics where they're singing on the cross, it says, you came from nothing. In that little banter right there at the end there, it says you came from nothing, you assumed nothing, you got nothing, you lost nothing, now you're going to return to nothing. And it's a very. It's a hilarious skit. I'll put it in the description box of this video. It's a hilarious video. It's in the previous comments of one or two videos ago. Oh my gosh. The whole point is, if you're already crucified, you're going to have some fun with it. And they're basically convincing Brian to look on the bright side. He's been crucified. And they're all on this mount and they're all on crosses. Crucified, singing along, always look on the bright side of life. When I saw that when I was a kid, I don't know, maybe 14 years old, I laughed hysterically to no end. I mean, to tell you, that was the funniest thing I ever seen. Love that sense of humor. Not a thing is lost, all is gained. You don't come from nothing, by the way. But it is funny the way they do it in the video. Now, do you know the meaning of the word ark? The primal meaning of the word coffin is to pluck, to gather. That's the primary meaning of the word. You'll find it in your concordance, to pluck, to gather. So by assuming the limitations of death and dreaming of the horrors of this world, I pluck and gather a far greater power to create than if I could. Than I could if I did not descend into this limitation. So that's the meaning of the word ark, the meaning of the word coffin. So here in the beginning, God come, Lord Jesus. So the cry to the whole vast world is, come awaken me from this dream. For it seems that man so entranced has told you. Let me quote it once more. The 51st chapter, 39th verse. While they are inflamed, I will prepare them a feast and make them drunk until they swoon away and sleep a perpetual sleep and not awake, saith the Lord. The sleep is so profound, it seems forever and forever I make them drunk. Who makes them drunk? It is God. Well, this is God making the statement, what is this inflammation? It is the inflammation in the normal translation is called heat. That is, in the King James Version, it's the heat, like the heat of an animal. When an animal is in heat, the neighborhood is disturbed. The whole neighborhood is disturbed. When an animal is in heat, they come from afar and everything is disturbed. Is disturbed when she is in heat. So in the King James Version, it is heat. In the revised Standard Version, the same word is translated. Inflamed means the same thing. While they are inflamed. When I am inspired with the story, for he's preparing me a feast. And what is the food? When he was asked, haven't you eaten? He said, I have food, you know not of. My food is to do the will of him that sent me his plan, his purpose. John 4, 32 and 34. I am feeding upon his plan, his purpose. I am so inflamed with this plan of expanding my creative power that I swoon and appear to others as though I am drunk. Which is now repeated in the second chapter of Acts. When Peter said, we are not drunk. When they were feasting upon the plan of God for expanding his own creative power, it left them in a swoon. And the swoon was a sleep, like a perpetual sleep, from which they would not awake until God in his merciful act awakened them. But he extracted a pledge from himself. He would not be left in Egypt in this coffin. He would be awakened. And so AE's vision, he said, I will not tell you where I saw it. I wish he had, but that's his privilege. I will not tell you. But if you have the Candle of Vision, it's out of print, but go to the library. It's beautifully written. It's simply. It's all in prose, but it's poetry. And it's all based upon what the man actually experienced. Experienced. It's a small little book. I called his son up in New York City and asked him if he had extra copies and anything that AE wrote. And the son was delighted that I mentioned and remembered his father. But. But he said, I'm sorry, I don't even have a copy of it myself. I can hardly believe that. And yet when I think of it, I don't think my son has one book of mine. So it doesn't really matter. I'm quite sure that if I went to Barbados, I will in two months and ask my son for a copy of anything that I've written. He couldn't produce it. He's not interested. And so I called young Russell, the son of George Russell, and asked him for any copy that his father had written for. He wrote some lovely novels, all based upon this strange, wonderful use of the imagination. But the one I quoted this night is the Candle of Vision. He begins. He begins it in a very little note that precedes the entire work. He quotes from the Book of Proverbs and the Book of Job. In the Book of Proverbs it is said, the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. And in the book of Job it is said, and when his candle was lit upon my head by its light, I walked through darkness. So he takes these two passages from Proverbs and Job, puts them in the first page, and then starts his own wonderful mystical experiences. So the book is called the Candle of Vision. I had two copies and I gave one to my friend Freedom Barry in San Francisco because he is doing this work. If I had any extra copies of anything that I loved, I would give it to him that he may be encouraged to simply go and keep on expanding. Now let us go into the silence, good man. Just go on and on. Question. Where is the theory of reincarnation? Where is the theory of reincarnation? The Bible doesn't teach it. You are in that profound state on high dreaming this Dream of life. And when you awake, you simply expanded your creative power. But you were never any of the garments that you played any more than Laurence Olivier was ever Hamlet. He's played possibly every character that Shakespeare wrote, but he remains Lawrence Olivier and he has never. And he was never Richard iii, which I saw him in the other night. He was never Hamlet and I've seen him in that. He was never any of the characters that he that he's played. So reincarnation is not taught in Scripture. And as we are taught in a rabbinical principle, what is not written in Scripture is non existent. I've never had any experience where I was anyone other than the being that I am. Very profound sentence by Neville. I have never had any experience where I was anyone other than the being that I am. At that moment when I became aware that I am the father of God's only begotten son, whose name is David, I was still the being that I am. So don't be concerned with the garments. Roundabout means nothing. You reshuffle them and make them conform to dreams. As you decide you want life to be so you simply ignore facts, revise it and then turn your will into a spiral. I just lost my sister, Neville. Will I ever see her again? Certainly, my dear. But you are the same being that I spoke of this night in the depths that is dreaming. See, in the Resurrection there is no giving or taking in marriage as we're told in Scripture. They asked him. They said, Master Moses said that in the law if a man dies leaving no offspring, his brother should marry his widow to raise up seed. Well, there were seven brothers, and one married and died and leaving no offspring. The second married her, he left no offspring when he died. And then the third and the fourth, and so on, until finally they all married her, leaving no offspring, and then she died. Whose widow is she in the Resurrection? And he answered, you do not know the Scripture. In this age there is no marrying and there is giving in marriage. But those are accounted worthy to attain to that age neither marry, nor are they given in marriage. In my mind I went to my Simon Peter was changing things. Let me clarify what I just read. In this age and you do not know the scripture. His response in this age. This age there is marrying and there is giving in marriage. But those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age, resurrection brings that age. My note. But those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age neither marry, nor are they given in marriage. For they are the sons of. Of the resurrection. Luke 20, 27, 34, the resurrection means they are lifted out of this wheel of recurrence into an entirely different age. For they die no more. They are now sons of God, sons of the resurrection. So that when you awaken from this wheel of recurrence, you'll be one with the Elohim. Because you are one now. You are now the Elohim who contracted himself into the coffin called man to dream the dream of life. And when you awake, you'll simply be an enhanced God, still the Elohim. Question. When do you find yourself with quite a difficulty? I'm not familiar with this teaching. Question mark. Answer, my dear. First of all, as you're seated there now I say I am. Just say it. Excuse me. Now say. He didn't say now I say. He said, now say. Let me repeat his answer, my dear. First of all, as you're seated there now say I am. Just say it. That's God. All things are possible to God. All things. Don't turn to the left or the right. Just God. Hold God trustworthy. So assume that I am, and you name it, whatever it is. Now, when you assume you are it, for confirmation of that assumption, look mentally at your world and see your world mentally reflect the reality of what you've assumed. If a friend of yours would know your good fortune after it is a fact, then mentally let your friend know it, but don't tell them physically live in that assumption, and your assumption, if you persist in it, will harden into fact. Is that clear? Good night. Oh, my goodness. Was that a lecture or what? I knew with the title of that one it was going to be profound, and it was most definitely they did not die. April 28th, 1964. We're going to see you in the next one.
