This Is My Name Forever by Neville Goddard (01-19-1964)

Neville goddard 1964 lectures this is my name forever January 19, 1964 this is going to be good. Tonight. Tonight let us discuss the name. If you find this name or believe in it, really, there is nothing impossible to you if you really believe in it. Moses said to God, if I come to the children of Israel and say to them, the God of your fathers has sent me unto you. And they asked me, excuse me. And they asked me, what is his name? What shall I say? The Lord said, I am who I am. Sometimes it is translated, I am what I am, or I am that I am, but any form of the verb to be. I am who I am. Then he said, say this to the children of Israel. I am has sent me unto you. The Lord God, the God of your father Abraham and Isaac and Jacob has sent me unto you. This is my name forever. And by this name I shall be known throughout all generations. Excuse me. No change in this name. My name forever. This comes in the book of Exodus, the third chapter, verses 13 through 17. If you read the book of Exodus, you will find that this is sheer power. Completely unmodified by any justice, any love, no mercy, no pity, no peace. Sheer power. So Moses stands in the presence of power. That's the first revelation of God. And it's, I am. I tell you, when you believe it, that's how you use it. Your first use of it is sheer power, unmodified by any mercy in this world. Just power. It reminds me of my dream. I just told you my last video before this, of my. The. They're really kind of lucid dream vision, the first one. And I was. I was thinking about this for the last 24 hours. Today is April 30th, and it is April 29th. Video that I recorded. I. Excuse me. The last video I recorded. Just so you know, when I told the story at the end of this video, the larger venture I described out in my dream, I was dealing with this power strip that was overloaded. And my old sales trainer had walked past me. I was in the class with him. And I don't know what I was doing in that class. I don't know if I was in a desk or if I was teaching. I have no idea. He was in there too. And then I was squatting at this steel rack, like a storage rack you might have in your garage or basement or whatever. Like the racks I have behind this camera. So the idea was I was looking at this power strip and it was overloaded and there was too much current. I thought Drawing through these cords and they were kind of getting very hot and melty. And to me that represented, as I thought about that in the last 24 hours that represented too much power coming through. So I was carefully trying to pull out some devices off that power strip. The next scene was Neville Goddard was speaking to. And all this I tried to reconcile whilst in the shower a little while ago. Neville Goddard was speaking in the next scene to six people in one crate. Like you know how you have a dog crate? Well, I have a dog crate. It's like a metal one. You could fold it if you wanted to. But it was a human sized crate. Six humans were in the first one and there was a second crate with six more humans. And then the third crate. It dawned on me while I was in the shower that I was not in that third crate. I was actually outside the crate because I was looking in that third crate and I was trying to discern if there was six people in that crate crate or two plus two in that crate. And it's still fuzzy but I believe it was two plus two and I was outside of that crate. So in my own self definition it seemed to me today as I look back at it again that it was Neville speaking to the twelve disciples. There were six and there was six. He was instructing them and it was like he was more focused on those two sets crates. There's 2, 6 and 6 here. Then the other one was off to the side a little bit where I was standing outside that crate looking on, trying to figure out how many was in the crate. I don't remember the crate was open or closed. I just remember there was either two plus two or possibly six in that third crate. So that was very fascinating. But it was all about power. The beginning part of that, remember there's a, there's a ray of truth, a jet of truth I should say as Neville says it in each dream or vision. So I'm trying to work that out. And the first part of that, it's the persuasion. I take the symbol of my ex sales trainer as being a persuasion and then a definition there. And then I take that power strip as power. What he's describing here, sheer power, just unadulterated power, pure power. Electricity has no mercy, it just is. So that's what I take that now as I read that now I realized that and I was thinking about that in the shower a little while ago, that that was power. And then, then I get into the next vision with Neville and it's Neville teaching the disciples it's like his work isn't done. To me, that's what that means, seeing him instructing. Still, it's Neville's work is not done. Wow. So let's continue. So in the same book of Exodus, let me go back a couple sentences. That's the first revelation of God and it's I am. May I tell you when you believe it, that's how you use it. Your first use of it is sheer power, unmodified by any mercy in this world. Just power. You want to know what that's like? Electricity is sure power. It just is. Don't mess with it. Don't go messing with it. Just take advantage of what we can do with it. We can use lights and generators and all kinds of wonderful things. Just don't mess with it. The same warning. Use it in cooperation with it, like we're doing with I am. So in this same book of Exodus, he is told to go to Pharaoh and tell Pharaoh to let his children go free. Then he hardens the heart of Pharaoh, therefore he's playing all the parts. He sends his servant Moses to tell Pharaoh to let the children of of Israel go free. Then he hardens the heart of Pharaoh. So who is playing all the parts? Since Jehovah, which is I am, is the primary actor in every event. If you adopt this name of God, this is what will happen to you. If you really believe it and adopt it, then the cult of heroic personalities will be unable to take any foothold in your face. You can't turn to any being in this world as an important person in your life. But no one. You can't point to anyone. This night a great man is making his exit from the world, and we all admire him as a person. But when you adopt the name of God, the God of Israel, and actually believe in the God of Israel, which is I am, and know he plays all the parts, then you cannot really turn to any cult of heroic personalities. You'll find none in Israel. None whatsoever. There's only I am. So the first revelation is sheer power. You can do it and you're invited to do it. So Pharaoh, who was condemned by the world, was hardened by the very one who asked him to set the children, children of Israel, free. So when you see it, you can say at the very end of the drama, father, forgive them. They know not what they do. Luke 23:34. I'm sure there's plenty of you that are saying that now for God the Father played all the parts, but you don't know he Is God the Father? In the early stages of revelation of the Name, the Name is revealed as sheer power, nothing but power. And then it unfolds itself and finally comes to the end. And the end is God the Father, and the Father is infinite love. But we don't know that until the very end. So we are told in various and many ways. God spoke to our fathers through his servants, the prophets. But in these last days, he has spoken to us through a son. Now we know he speaks through a son. Then he must be a father. You can't speak through your son unless you are a father. And the Son reveals the Father. Matthew 11:27. But until you reach the point where you see the Son, know who God the Father is. You are moved to use sheer power. And so you are invited to use power. So may I tell you how to use it? The Name is simply I am. It's not Neville, it's not John Brown, it's not Mary Smith, it's not any name outside of I Am. That's God. And it's. And it is infinite. Might you could, this night, seated here, close your eyes to the obvious and dare to assume that you are now the one that you desire to be and assume that you are it. Don't ask how. This is a power, sheer power. And in a way that no one knows. This assumption would rearrange the entire structure of your world and mirror the fulfillment of that assumption. You could this very moment assume that you are elsewhere, though you are here, and you have no means of getting there. And suddenly, if you dare to assume it, believing in the name the only name of God of Israel possesses. The only name the God of Israel possesses, I am. If you dare to assume it, then a bridge of incidents would form itself across which you would be compelled to move again. That's back to my buddy when he. He moved from Oregon, came to Long Beach. He lives here now and he is now surfing most of his free time. He's surfing, improving constantly, always testing out different boards. Boards have different rails, they have different fins, they have different shapes, all kinds to the nth degree. All from the one moment he sat there, looked at the monitor of the beach, of the pier, and said, what if I was living there and surfing all the time? He's doing it now. And then when we talked about Portugal, about that coast, about those waves, he immediately told me to shut up because he doesn't want to know anything else. Kind of like that guy that didn't want to get out of the army. Neville got out of the army by imagining. And the other guy said, no, I'm not. I'm not going there. Or the other guy that says, I can hear you, Neville, when you talk. But when you talk, I put my hands on the chair and my feet down into the carpet. I want to feel the profundity of things. Because he doesn't want to test the sheer power. He already did. Looking at the monitor and wondering what it would be like, and then moving and doing it is using his power, his name. That's how he did that. He doesn't want to do it again. Oh, it's so funny. You would move across this bridge of events leading up to the fulfillment of your assumption. If you believe in the name of the God of Israel, you never leave Egypt until you accept the God of Israel. No one leaves it. Everyone is in Egypt. Everyone is buried in a coffin, as told us so beautifully in the seed plot of the Bible, which is Genesis. In the beginning, God, it begins and the Bible ends. That is the book of Genesis in a coffin in Egypt. Genesis 1:1, Genesis 50, 26. And who was put into a coffin in Egypt? Joseph, the dreamer. Well, who is the dreamer? Aren't you a dreamer? Behold this dreamer cometh Joseph, the prototype of the fulfillment of God's purpose. Genesis 37, 19. Joseph. That's my middle name. And I. I've been mistaken so often. I don't know why. People, when I tell them my name on the phone especially, and they'll say, okay, what's your name, please? Or whatever, customer service. And I'll say, gilbert. And they'll say, okay, yeah. So then we'd talk for a while. Then they'll say, okay, your name is Joseph, right? And I'm like. Or Joe. And I'm like, how did they. How did they get that? Where did they get Joseph or Joe from? When I said Gilbert, it's funny, he said you meant it for evil. You meant it to be evil to me, but God meant it for good. Genesis 50:20. So God played both parts. He made you sell me into Egypt, and yet he did it for a purpose that I would show the whole vast world who God is. He's the dreamer. The dreamer in man is God. When you say, I am, that's God. The Bible recognizes only one source of dreams. All dreams, all visions proceed from God. Numbers 12, 6, job 33, 15. So as I stand here, I can dream a daydream, or I can close my eyes and fall into a little nap and have an uncontrolled night dream, or I can Open my eyes upon the world and ignore the entire world and have a controlled daydream. Still the same dream. This is the power that is God, which is I am. So if you accept the God of Israel, you begin to move out of Egypt. That is the beginning of the Exodus. There it is. If you accept the God of Israel, you begin to move out of Egypt. That is the beginning of the Exodus. But man has great trouble in keeping the tense. He always. He's always turning here, turning there, turning elsewhere. He can't seem to be faithful to the tense. The tense is I am. If I say thou art, I'm away. If I say he is, I'm away. If I use the word Lord and think of something else than I am, I'm away. If I use any name used in scripture for God and do not allow it to register in me as I am, I'm completely away. So the Yod hey vow hey, which is the Lord in scripture, which means I am. It is the verb to be. It's present tense. It's what Seth said thousands of times. There's only now. There is no future. There is no past. You're creating the past and future out of your creative nowness. The nowness of your being is so powerful. It is your power. It's so incredibly powerful that you're creating an entire past in a moment of glance. You're creating an entire future and opportunity in future. In a moment of glance. You close your eyes. The world doesn't exist. This is plain and simple, the truth. There's only now. There's only I am sheer power. You open your eyes. You just used sheer power. I am power and created all of it. That's how powerful you are, abundantly communicated by Seth. There's only now and only now. And you are your own authority. There is no other authority outside of self. That's what Seth says thousands of times now. That's what Neville says thousands of times. It's just a difference in terms. They're very close. But it has no sound. There are four consonants and no one can really sound it. My old friend Ab tried to explain to me how to sound it, but he couldn't sound it. You can't sound Yod, he vow hey in Hebrew. There's no way to sound it. But we have added something to it and tried to give it a sound. We call it Jehovah. Some call it Yahweh. But you can't sound the name. It's the unpronounceable name. This power that is I Am. If you always remember that when they use the word adonoi, they use the word adonoi for the saying yod, he, vow, hey. Because they can't sound yod, hey, vow, hey. They say adonoi. Sometimes they use another word, blank space, aleph, lamed. And they still will use many words. But no matter what word you hear for God, you can always remember it is I am and no one else, then you can't go wrong. All things are possible to God. If a man can stand before a board and simply see on that board what he wants to see, which, if he saw it, would imply that he owned the building. Well, who's looking at it? That's Victor, his brother, looking on the sign board and seeing it, say, Goddard Enterprises or Goddard and Son, or was it Joseph N. Goddard, Whatever, seeing it as their own family's name. Who's looking at the board? I am. Well, what are you seeing? I am seeing. And I tell him exactly what I am seeing. Well, if I am seeing it, it would imply I own the entire block. And that's all that I do. So I am doing it. And two years later, without a nickel in the pocket, I owned the block. And this is true. I'm not manufacturing this. I'm telling you a true story. That building was bought in 1924 for $50,000, the year Sylvia was born. And he didn't have a penny in his pocket. He sold it this past year. This is 1964. So it was sold in 1963. He sold it this past year for $840,000. Hmm. And there is no tax on capital gain. This is the man who is my second brother, who is simply looking and simply used God's only name. Which is? I am. That's Victor, the business, the lover of business. And the one who loved business and the one that would go in the building and just smell the machinery going and loved it. And the older brother was the doctor. Those two were also the witnesses at Neville's birth, when the baby was on the bed. This is sheer power when it first reveals itself to man. So we go forward condemning Pharaoh. Why condemn Pharaoh when the being who plays Pharaoh plays the part of Moses? He's playing all of the parts in the world, but every part after you use it. And quite often, unwisely, unlovingly, unmercifully. Still, in the end, there is no condemnation. You're moving towards a predetermined end. To find that God. To find that God is Father and infinite love is God. But tonight I share with you my own knowledge and use of this name, and use of this Name in power, I can also share with you, and I will this name in its final state in love. For when you come to the very end of the unfolding of the Name, you our God, so you start in the beginning, and so you are told, I have tried you in the furnaces of affliction for my own sake. For my own sake I do it. For how should my name be profaned, my glory I will give to another. Isaiah 48:10 God alone is praise unto God, Spirit alone is praise unto Spirit Life alone is praise unto life. So if I would receive the praise, the glory of God, I must become God first. And so here are the words in the 17th of John. Father, glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee. Verse 1 the Son can't glorify the Father until the Father first glorifies the Son. Now he makes the statement, I have accomplished all the works thou gavest me to do. Now Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, with the glory I had with thee before that the world was. Verse 4 well, who is asking this question? You and I, when we have finished the work, when we've accomplished all of the work given us to do, we only ask for the return of the glory that we gave up to assume the limitation of flesh. For the one that is asking is the creative power and wisdom of God personified as man. So to come here we came with a purpose, and to come here we were the creative power and the wisdom of God. For that's who Christ is, as told us in the Book of Corinthians, first chapter of first Corinthians, Jesus Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God, verse 24 and so here personified as man. But when he's completed the work which is the unfolding of the name of God, when it comes to the very end, and he blank space as God the Father, Now I have accomplished the work thou gave us me to do. Now Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, with the glory that I had with thee before that the world was and so God glorifies the Son, that the Son may glorify the Father, because the Father alone is glory unto the Father. So you can't really glorify the Father until the Father first glorifies you. And he doesn't glorify you until you come to the very end when you return. That creative power has returned from its mission, having accomplished all that it was sent to do. It comes back and then it returns. And the Father glorifies it first. That it in turn will glorify the Father. The work that Thou gave us me to do. And again, that vision with Neville, he was still lecturing. He was lecturing right there. And man was still in his prisons. That's the way I am interpreting that right now, reading this. His work isn't done because those crates, those jails, those prisons, the people were inside of them. This vision, I would think Neville would be done already. He did. He did quite a good spell, that is for sure. Continuing. So this is the great mystery of his name. So in the book of Exodus, when Moses begins to sing the song called the Song of Moses, he said, God is a man of war. The Lord is his name. 15 3. Only power. Sheer power. God is a man of war. For he saw it. Every child died. That was the first child. For he who sat on the house to the one who was in the dungeon. That vision, dream, dream I had is right here. For he saw it. Every child died. That was the first child from he who sat on the throne to the one who was in the dungeon. Go and ask him to let my people go. But I will harden his heart. And then you will tell him that every firstborn this night will die. From Pharaoh's firstborn to the lowest in the land of Egypt. And that night they all died. And the firstborn of the cattle died. They said, we are dead men. Let these people go. Well, who did it? Was it not the same God? Only one God plays all the parts in the world. There's nothing but God. God is playing every part. But now, if you want to really start the exit from the world of death, you must accept the name of God, of Israel. This is monotheism in the extreme. You can't have two gods and be a true Israelite. And only the Israelite comes out of Egypt, as told us. Truly, thou hast been good. The pure in heart. The 73rd chapter of the book of Psalms, verse 1. Then he looks and he sees Nathan, who has. Who was called Nathanael, the gift of God. And he said, behold the Israelite. Indeed, indeed, in whom there is no guile. John 1:47. No two gods, just one God. So he calls Israel. He only calls Israel a man after his own heart. An Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile. And he calls him. Well, if there is no guile, then you are only worshiping one God. But the worship means worthy of one's attention. So you pay Attention to the headlines tomorrow morning. You pay attention to something else tomorrow. Are you paying any attention to. I am. That's a question, isn't it? Would you spend five minutes tonight before you go to bed, or five minutes tomorrow just to contemplate the being just being. Not John, not Mary, not anyone in this world. Simply being, for that is to worship God. So you worship only I am. So you dwell upon just being. You'd be amazed what you will see and what will happen as you dwell upon being. You've never seen such glorious light as you dwell upon being. This golden, golden light begins to appear all around you. Liquid light, as we are told in the Book of Wisdom. Like gold in the furnace. He has tried us and received us unto Himself as pure gold. Proverbs 17:3. That's right, molten gold. You are tried in the furnace, and all of a sudden you turn into molten gold. And he receives you unto Himself as pure molten gold. Then you leave this world called the world of Egypt, which is the coffin. So then he was placed in the coffin in Egypt. The very last verse in the book, the 50th chapter, the book of Genesis, and he was put into a coffin in Egypt, verse 26. But he exacted a pledge from his brothers that he would not be left in Egypt. They would take him out of Egypt and bring him into the land that was promised. So the whole vast world could be almost within that little statement in the beginning. God in a coffin in Egypt. And then the dreamer is dreaming this fantastic dream of life. All must dream the dream of life. But he will come out of it when he discovers the name of God. The first discovery of the name is sheer might. Sheer power. I saw it so clearly when I was a lad in my 20s, taken into the divine society. And the first one I encountered was infinite might. Sheer might. Not a shred of mercy in his presence. No peace, no love. But in the same society was infinite love who embraced me. And at that moment of the embrace, I became one with him, fused with infinite love, that is the ultimate God. Then I was sent back before the first one, Sheer might. I had to start there. It was might who commanded me to go into the world and tell the story. It wasn't love. Love embraced me. And while mingled with love, I was brought before might for the second time. And might sent me into the world with this ringing command in my ears. Time to act, that was the word, with emphasis on act. God only acts and is in all existing beings or men who. So let us to him who only is give decision. Blake marriage of heaven and hell plate 15. He only acts. I started in that moment trying to test it. And it worked like a charm. Then. From then on, the name itself began to unfold into higher levels. Always might. But from the higher and higher levels until you finally reach the ultimate. And the ultimate is love. God is infinite love. And God is Father. But you will never know the Father saved through the Son. So the Son reveals you to yourself when God's only begotten Son stands before you. Excuse me. And you know that he is your Son, that then you know who you are. You are the Father. So you can't see in this affirmation, I am this strange, wonderful unity of God and man. Excuse me, I read that incorrectly. Let me repeat it. So can't you see in this affirmation I am this strange, wonderful unity of God and man. Question mark. That is my name forever. When I say I am and you say I am. Well, isn't this a strange, wonderful revelation of the unity of man and the oneness with God? Then we understand that greatest of all statements. When asked, what is the greatest of all commandments? And he answered, hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Deuteronomy 64 Hear, O Israel, the Lord, the Word. Translated, the Lord is I am. The word Elohim would be the I ams. It's gods. It's plural. Then comes again the the Lord I am is one. So here is a compound unity made up of others. Excuse me. So all of us here together form 1 Lord, that is the God of Israel. So no one departs from this fabulous world of death until he first accepts the God of Israel, which is I am. Once you test this law of assumption, the only way you can test it and succeed is by starting right there. I am wealthy, I am healthy. I am in love and happily married. I am free. I'm having fun. It's the same starting point. No matter what. You want to test sheer power. No one departs from this fabulous world of death until he first accepts the God of Israel, which is I am. Then he starts. He may make numberless mistakes, as you're told in the journey, they turned back. They made every effort to go back into Egypt because they forgot the tents. They couldn't quite remain faithful to the tense, which is I am. So they brought in blank space. They built a golden calf. And they built something else. They made something else. All in conflict with the second commandment. Make no graven image unto me. Deuteronomy 6:8 well, the graven image need not be something physical. It could be an idea. I met a wonderful person. They will tell you, come and hear him. Come and hear her. Oh, he is so altogether near God. So you forget, I am, and you go to he is. That's not God. It's not out there at all. God does not wear the name called Neville or John Brown. These are masks. Forget them. Simply, I am. And every time I say this, I am. It's all capitalized every time, every time throughout all of this I and then A and then M, all capitals. So wherever you are in the world, wherever you are in this world, whatever you're doing, if you could only remember the name of God and call upon it instantly, you would be redeemed from whatever you are if you call upon it in another state. He said, I am the Lord. Rightly translated it would be I am the. I am. I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. And besides me, there is no Savior. I know not any. I know no other Savior. I am the first and I am the last, and there is none beside me. Read it in the book of Isaiah, the 43rd chapter, the 41st, the 44th. Tie them together and see this wonderful revelation of the name of God, who is the Savior of the world. So tonight, instead of praying to someone, may I tell you. If the name of God. Excuse me. May I tell you. If the name of the God I worship is I am, then it follows only what I am. Can I pray aright? I can't pray aright in any other way other than by what I am. He doesn't hear my words. There's a little story told. Michael turned to the Lord and said, allow me, sire, but I think you've made a great mistake in permitting man to learn how to talk. All of the prayers were coming up and it sounded just like Babel. Everyone was asking something entirely different. All were asking. So he said, if you did not allow them to talk, we could then understand what they were praying for. Excuse me. If you did not allow them to talk, we could then understand what they were praying for. God said to him, I never listen to what they say. I listen only to their lives. That's all. I listen only to their lives. So only what I am is answered. No prayer of mine goes beyond the roof. But the prayer of what I am, that's all that I can answer. You'll hear it in that. In the last lecture, I shared the idea and story of a movie director named Robert Rodriguez. He's a director, writer, author, lighting man, electrician. He does it all. He made that movie el Mariachi for $7,000. And from then on his. His life has been a roller coaster of making movies and directing and learning from the best like Spielberg, etc. In that industry. And he says these very same things he taught his kids. And he's living the breadth of this teaching right here. There's that Joe Rogan interview. It's brand new. And then I just was starting to listen to another one. That's three and a half hour. He's saying the same thing over and over. That Neville saying over and over. You don't say you will be a director, you say I am. It's wonderful the way he puts it. He says, you just claim the title and then you just start doing it. You just start walking in that direction. That's all he did. He didn't say, can I have a job at your movie studio? On any movie, I'll take any position. No, he went out with $7,000 and didn't know how to do any bit of it. He just did it. It's an incredible interview and you should watch it. It's in the link in the last one. I'll put the link in this one too. But he is saying the same thing. You just claim it. Stake your claim. I am a director and you just take one step and put it in front of the other. When I started my business, I never built new Home Depots. I never did that kind of work. I just said, I am literally the first brand new store we were to go help build. The building was empty. We walked in the front door and I'm not joking with this. We did a bunch of small jobs, small remodels. And I showed up at this building, it was four employees, got my carload of tools, little 91 Toyota Corolla. There's four of us in the car and there's a trunk full of tools. And we walk in that first store the very first time, and I looked in that building, the building was empty. There was no racking yet. And our job was to go there and start working on that position called the kitchen display area, which is where all the cabinets and kitch kitchens are, which is what our specialty was. So when I opened that door for the first time, all I knew is I'm just walking. I am whatever. I am a contractor, I am a remodeler, I am a carpenter. It's all carpentry. So I did the I am and I started walking the Steps. When I opened that door the very first day of the new building, the new store, my consciousness, right when I walked in the door, I swear my consciousness went screaming out of me when it hit the back wall and came screaming directly back to me. And I just felt this extremely powerful, overwhelming, powerful feeling. I sensed power like he's describing it in this lecture, but it was a power. I thought it left me, screamed out through the building. It was empty. The building was completely empty. Nothing installed, no racking, no nothing. It was an empty shell, hit the back wall and it came screaming right back to me. It was, wow, it was powerful, powerful feeling. Then I went and I found the people I needed to talk to and we just started walking through the steps. Okay, where's our materials? It's already been delivered. We knew it was started finding our material and started constructing. And it was all about not knowing anything about doing that. The guy I was having install, we were building the cabinets. This is a very fast short story. Hopefully we were building the cabinets. The guy was coming up and go, hey, he was, he had, this guy was a subcontractor for the other contractor before me. So I was here assuming this new position. This guy, he came up to me, goes, hey man, you're building these cabinets all wrong. And it was very funny. I like Robert Rodriguez, I like to say fail and fail fast because that's how you learn what you're supposed to do. And this is the last piece of this story. This guy came up to me and he was the installer of the cabinets we were building on site. And he goes, hey man, you're building these wrong. And I go, okay, cool, cool, show me what you want. So simple. Just show me what you want. He goes, okay, let me show you. This is out of square. I'm going to show you what we do when we build them. He showed me this jig we had. We built up a jig on a piece of OSB 4 by 8. Put some 1 by fours in the corner so you could put the cabinet in there and square it up. Then you nail the nails on the back. Well when then we, then we started using screws instead of nails. This thing he showed me by taking it apart real fast, throwing it into a jig, basically a board, you know, four by eight sheet with some one by to make a corner, throw it into the corner, screw it, screw it from the back, etc. Showed us the process that he wanted to make sure they were square so then he could install them. Square boxes. So simple. Show me what you want? He showed me, boom. That one lesson, which I was. I ate the humble pie. Enough to know I'm not going to get where I already am. If I'm going to sit here and be ego about it. What do you want? Thank you for the. For the. For the understanding that we did it wrong. I'll go ahead and swallow that pill. Let me get to where I make it right. This seems hard for some people. I don't know why. It's the easiest path. Eat the humble pie. Take a glass of milk with it, if you will. Continuing. So back to the robber. Just to finish that story. You claim it, I am it. You walk in. It doesn't matter if you've been on that path before. You just be courageous enough to go. You'll find that heavily in that story I just told. But you'll also find it heavily in Robert's interviews. Robert Rodriguez, the director, his interviews are amazing. He's living this information back to the book, back to Neville. So this night, if I would be healthy, I must assume that I am. If I would be wealthy, I must assume that I am. Don't ask anyone in this world for permission. If I would be anything. If I would be married, I must assume I am. If I would be in love, I must assume I am. I must assume that I am. If I would be anything. For that is asking in the only name that really responds. I only listen to their lives. And my assumption need not be based upon the evidence of my senses. It need not be based upon reason. My assumption at that very moment that I assume it will actually build a wonderful series of events. And then I, standing here, will be compelled to walk across this series of events, across that bridge of incidents, and move exactly where the assumption leads me. I have done it time and time again. When things seem so black, I couldn't turn for light, I didn't know where to turn, had no money, had none of this, none of that. And I dared to assume that I was the man that I wanted to be. And I was where I wanted to be, which would have taken quite a fortune. And strangely enough, it all came out of nowhere. It all came out of the nowhere. I didn't have to put my hand in the pocket of another to get it. I did nothing of which I was ashamed to get. Just happened. But on reflection, one is inclined through past training to believe it would have happened anyway. And that's when you go back to another God and forget the God of Israel. One must ever remember the God of Israel and The God of Israel is your own wonderful human imagination. That's the God of Israel. That's the God that created the whole vast world and brought it into being and sustains it. Not a thing comes into this world unsupported by your own wonderful imaginal act. It does not remain in the world without such support. And when it ceases to receive that support, it vanishes as though it were never present. That is the God of whom I speak. This is the God of Israel, your own wonderful human imagination, which I speak of as I am. That's God. Start this night because you are encouraged to do it. Go back to the book of Exodus, its sheer power. If you are in business, try it. The day will come, you'll move through the entire series and come right up to the fulfillment of it all and find him to be the God of Love. Not only the God of Love, but Father. So God has to give you in the end himself to receive glory, because he cannot receive glory from anyone who but Himself. So to receive glory from you, he has to give you Himself. And He's a father. So he gives you himself as Father, and in so doing he gives you his son. Then you see his son, and his son calls you Father. And you know it. There's no doubt in your mind as to who he is. He's your Son. You look into this heavenly face which is God's only begotten Son, and you know that you are His Father and He is your Son. Then the drama is over. But the inheritance which is God Himself cannot be actualized or is at least not fully realized by you, who has had the experience so long. And as you still wear the garment of flesh, this is a veil of forgetfulness. This is amnesia. This little garment, complete amnesia. When you step into this world and assume the limitations of the garment of flesh, so you play the part. And then you hear from those whom he has sent into the world the real meaning of his name and the power of his name. You take it and you use it. If it proves itself in performance, does it really matter what others think? What do we know in this world better and more thoroughly than that which we have experienced? Do we know anything in this world more thoroughly than what we experienced? So if I have experienced it, does it really matter what anyone in this world would tell me? I will say to you, you haven't experienced it, or you would not tell me that it is wrong. Had you experienced it, you would have agreed with me. And so you haven't experienced it. Wait. You will Experience it. After a man has experienced God, it doesn't really matter what the world would say about there is no God. Many of them say there is no God. Doesn't really matter. They go blindly on, not knowing. First they are going to find him as power. That's when they first find him. When they find him as power, they are going to use him and misuse him. And as they misuse him, who's misusing Him? God's misusing him. He's misusing his own name. He hardens Pharaoh's heart and then kills all the firstborn in one night. They all die. The locusts come and devour all the land. Every plague. One after the other is the use of power. But in this way a strange, peculiar misuse of it. Well, that's alright. You're invited to use it and misuse it. Then comes the pain. He puts you through the furnaces. I'll try you in the furnaces of affliction. For my own sake. For my own sake I do it. For how shall My name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another. Isaiah 48:10. So he has to bring me into that state that is just like himself before he can give me his glory, that I may reflect his glory. He can't possibly give it to me until I become one with Him. He takes me through all these furnaces and finally I become molten gold and can be quickly molded into his image. In the twinkle of an eye. That molten gold takes on his image. And then you ascend right up into heaven with God the Father, forever and forever. I can share it with you. I can't convince you by words. I can only tell you it starts with the first revelation of. Of the Name. And the first revelation is power. Sheer, unmerciful power. That's power. He's called a God of war, and this is his name. But after you've gone through it and you see it and you've used it unmercifully, you will come out of it and you'll use it on a higher level and a still higher level. And finally you reach the highest level. And. And it's the level of. And it's the level of love, where God is infinite love. And may I tell you, there is no power in the world comparable to God. We speak of this power on this level. But love is greater than all. That's the greatest of all. For it's the ultimate of God that is love. So tonight you take this wonderful Name and you try. Won't fail you. I Promise you it won't fail you. Just I am. Forget what you've done in this world. Forget what people think that you are. Forget all the little tags people put upon you do. Take off everything and simply dwell on I am. Repeat it to yourself quietly, without any audible sound. Just I am. I am. That's his name. You'll be amazed what happens. Just I am then in that I am. Ness. Clothe it with your wish fulfilled. Just try it. I'm telling you what I've experienced. This is not any theory. This is not speculation. This is pure experience. It comes that way in an ultimate bliss. I can't tell anyone in words what it is to reach a state where there is no one but I am. You are infinite being, pulsing liquid light. There is no world, no people, nothing. Just I am. It's a state beyond any way that man could describe in words. And so you and I separate. As we are seemingly in that state. We are one. So if you bear his name as we're told, go and call my daughters from the ends of the earth, and call my sons from afar all those who are called by my name. Isaiah 43:6. Aren't you called by his name? Before you say anything in this world, you say I am, don't you? Well, that's the name. Call my daughters from the ends of the earth and call my sons from afar all who are called by My name. Well, we're called by the name because I am. You can say I am. If you first are not aware of being, then you can't be aware of being anything. You must first be aware of being by saying I am. Call all my daughters, call all my sons who are called by my name, and let them know that I am the only Savior. Besides me. There is no Savior. He calls them all and gives himself to the called. But tonight, if you are now looking for a better job, or a job or a change in your social world or your physical world, or whatever it is, start with the sheer power of God, which is I am. And then God can conjure anything. In this world, all things are possible to God. Then dare to assume that I am, and you name it as you named it. It is that then I am. So what should I say? Just say I am. That I am. When you go to them, just simply say I am has sent me unto you. That's all that you say. Some will believe you and some will not. That's all that you say. Just say I am has sent me unto you, for that's my name forever. Throughout all generations. Exodus 3:14. So tonight you just simply assume that I am, and then you name it. The minute that you name it, you put that on it, then affirm it. I am. You say, I am healthy. The word healthy would become that in the sentence, I am, I am wealthy, I am. So we need to follow it up. I am wealthy, I am. I am healthy, I am. I am. In a loving marriage, I am. I am employed, gainfully employed, I am. So that sentence in the middle, gainfully employed becomes that in the sentence I am. And you affirm it. Then fall asleep in that statement just as though it were true, and test God and see as you're told. Come, test me and see. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in thee? Unless, of course, you failed to meet the test. 2nd Corinthians 13:5. Jesus Christ is the power and the wisdom of God. First Corinthians 1:24. It's this power. So you try it this night and you see if you do not externalize in your world that which you are affirming as true of yourself. Now let us go into the silence. It good. I could continue and continue right now. Question Inaudible answer Neville, to me, the four rivers are the four sets senses in man. The ancients never spoke of five senses. They spoke of four. Sight, sound, scent. And then they joined taste and touch together. And so these are the chief outlets of man in this age. So sight, sound and scent were the three. And then taste and touch, they joined as four because both depended on contact. To taste, you must contact that which you taste and touch, you must contact it. Question. How would you interpret that when you read it? I was reading it again and I thought, well, now, how can this mean me? And I couldn't quite figure it out. Answer. Well, my dear, I've answered it. Excuse me. Well, my dear, I've answered it as clearly as I can. The four senses that go out of Eden. Eden is all within you. The whole vast book is all about you. The whole drama unfolds within your own wonderful human imagination. So as Blake said, man has no body distinct from his soul. That called body is a portion of the soul discerned by the senses, the chief inlets of the soul in this age. Although he used the word five senses in his own wonderful poem, he confines it to four. Every mystic confines it to four senses, because the sense of touch and the sense of taste depend upon contact. And he said, that's the closed western gate in man. Man hasn't quite opened up that gate as yet if he could only open up the western gate, he would look into the immortal worlds, which he said is his task. I rest not from my great task to open the eternal worlds. To open the immortal eyes of man inward into the worlds of thought, into eternity, ever expanding in the bosom of God, the human imagination. Jerusalem, plate 5, line 17. That's bleak. I want to repeat that. I rest not from my great task to open the eternal worlds, to open the immortal eyes of man inward into the worlds of thought, into eternity, ever expanding in the bosom of God, the human imagination. But that western gate in man is closed. So these immortal eyes are closed. The immortal senses are closed. But he takes the western gate, which is the sense of touch, that's closed. Remember, when you're imagining lovingly for another, you're always going to be in that imagining. You're always going to be hugging, shaking hands, high fiving. That's opening the western gate. You're in fourfold vision. When you're imagining lovingly, you're in the fourth dimension and you're opening the western gate by touch in the imagination. Neville, where's that question of call my daughters from the ends of the earth? That's from Isaiah. That's from the 41st chapter. And take the 43rd and tie it with it. Call my daughters from the ends of the earth and my sons from afar off. All those who are called by my name. See, there are two Isaiahs. So the second Isaiah begins with the 40th chapter and does not go beyond the 44th chapter. From what I quoted this night. Start from the 41st. They're all very short chapters, 41st or 43rd. And both of them put them together. Neville, would you recap a little bit of what you said on January 5th about the first to be sealed? We didn't get a January 5th lecture, so we started this book with January 7th. Neville, would you recap a little bit of what you said on January 5 about the first to be sealed? Answered Neville. That was Judah. That's the seventh chapter of the book of Revelation. And the 144,000 who are sealed, which spells the name of Adam, Aleph, daleth, mem is 1 plus 4 plus 40. But in Hebrew, when you get the 0 after the figure, you could multiply it indefinitely. So Adam really is 144,000. That's the whole will be sealed. Nor one can be lost because everyone is God. There's only one. Excuse me, there's only God playing all the parts. But Judah is the first one in the 12, because there were 12, and each 12 had 12. Well, 12 times 12 is 144. So the first one called to be sealed is Judah. So that he was the fourth of the fourth generation from Abraham, and he was the one who held the scepter, and. And from him it could never depart. So that was the fourth one and the fourth name of the fourth Son. We come through this doorway called the fourth, because the fourth letter is Daleth, and that is the door. But strangely enough, when you start to seal them, Judah comes first. In the seventh chapter of Revelation, verse five. We're all one. There aren't two of us in this world. But man doesn't know it as yet. And there's no condemnation if you don't know it. And you think the other fellow is doing something that is wrong, as people do it all day long. Every morning's paper, someone goes to the bank and takes what isn't his. And so all day long he doesn't know the power of God as yet. Perfectly all right for the being playing that thief is God the one who was going to arrest him is God the one who will guard him in jail? That's God. God placed all the parts in the world. There's nothing but God. There's no room for anyone. There's only a cod. Only one question. What is the significance of Joseph exacting the promise from his brothers not to leave him in Egypt? Again, in keeping with the promises of the Scripture, all the promises must be fulfilled. Joseph is the dreamer. Do not leave me in the coffin. Awaken me. As told us in the 44th chapter of the Book of Psalms. Rouse thyself with why sleepest thou, o Lord? Verse 23. Not another. It is the Lord who is sleeping. He's only a prototype of the dreamer. That is God. It is God who imposed upon himself all these limitations. In fact, tyranny is nothing more than the division of this spiritual substance against itself. God became fragmented. This is the rock that became broken. Now he's gathering every little piece to put it back together. So when it's all brought back together, it's a far greater rock than it was before. So here we scatter this creative power, and then we bring it back, and each brings back the work allotted it, and it comes back and all become one once more. And it's a far greater power than it was before. So everyone is playing. That's why when the Bible speaks of incest, well, anyone you know has to be incest, if it's all God. And you are God. And Reuben went up unto his mother's bed. And we just judge harshly for his going to his mother's bed. And we speak of all these strange things of scripture that we don't understand. That the whole vast world would have to be. There isn't one so called crime known to man that isn't openly discussed in Scripture. We have nothing new in the world concerning crime. We speak of genocide. We speak of destroying a whole city. Read Scripture. Complete wiping out entirely of a whole being and all its offspring. That's the sheer destructive power. And finally it moves towards that which we call Christ Death Jesus, when he finds the Father. And here's a revelation of the Father. And when you stand in the presence of the Father. Well, I can't describe it. You've never known such love. You can't describe such ecstasy. People talk of love here. Why, it's like living in separate rooms. Suppose you wanted someone passionately in this world and you were barred by steel bars and you couldn't even touch the other. Well, that's more remote. This thing called love of God. You can't conceive of the intimacy of this love. You become one with infinite love. And it is an ecstasy beyond the wildest dream of man. And that's love. The ultimate is love. So the whole vast scattered world is being drawn one by one by one by one. I will gather you one by one. O people of Israel. Isaiah 27:12. You are. You aren't gathered in twos or in groups one by one. And when you are called into the presence of infinite love, you stand in the presence of man. Here is love. And love embraces you. Then you know for the first time in eternity what love really means. And you're there forever. Until tomorrow. After the whole drama is over, a new play is written and a new fragmentation for a still greater expansion of God. God, good night. I told you. I don't know if we could count how many I ams are in this one lecture, but there is a lot. And I think that's a very telling thing that we have to get that lesson down. I am. That I am. Your homework. Your two minutes of silence following this video, of course. And during that, and while you fall asleep tonight, I am. And you name it. What you name is replacing that. I am. That I am. I am. Wealthy. I am. We're tagging the front and end, the beginning and end of what we are. I am Healthy. I am. I am happy. I am. I am married. I am. I am free. I am. That's your homework. That's your forever work. Now that you know his name, this is my name forever. January 19th, 1964. And we're going to see you in the next one.
