Who Are the Condemned – Neville Goddard (03-10-1964) | Full Reading + Commentary

Neville Goddard 1964 lectures who Are the Condemned? March 10, 1964. Tonight's subject is who are the condemned? We're told in the Book of John that God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:17. And then it goes on to tell us, he who believes in him is not condemned. He who does not believe in him is condemned already because he does not believe in the name of the only Son of God. So here we see it starts. The whole thing starts with believing in Him. Everything follows that, just believing in him. Well, who is this presence that I must believe in? There are a billion Christians in the world. And they all will claim if you ask the question, do you believe in him? And you told that you meant, and you told them you meant by him, Jesus Christ, they would say yes. One billion would say yes. But I am quite sure they do not really believe in Him. Not the hymn of the One I speak, not Christ. And I am speaking with a certain authority because I've been sent to tell you, no man gave it to me. I'm not ordained. No man gave me anything to tell you. God himself sent me, and tell it I must and will, even at the risk of many thinking that I am mad. But I'll tell you who this Presence is, and if you believe in him, you'll be saved from any situation in this world if you believe in him. Well, let us now see who is this Presence. Can we get it from Scripture? In the Book of John, one is supposed to be speaking, and this is the one speaking. And you might think it's a man outside of yourself speaking to you. If you were addressed. He said, you are from below, I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he. John 8, 23 and 24. When you read it, to get to the depth of it, to get the depth from it, this must take place in you. It's a conversation between the rational mind, addressed as you are from below, and that which is above, the conceptual mind. The presence defined as I am, it's something entirely beyond the reasoning mind that is controlled by the senses, the conceptual mind. So this drama takes place, this dialogue is within man. And so I told you, you will die in your sins, for you will die in your sins, unless you believe that I am He. Well, do you believe in that presence? Do you really believe that the Christ of Scripture is your own or wonderful human imagination. Your own wonderful. I am Ness. If you don't, you are already self condemned. No one condemns you. He said. Who condemns you? No one, Lord. No man, Lord, he said, neither do I condemn you. If no man is condemning you, then I can't condemn you for the simple reason man only bears witness of your own self condemnation or your freedom. When men point the finger, it's because you have pointed the finger at yourself. Remember, three fingers pointing back. And you do not know who he is. And so one is sent to tell you who he really is. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Neville. I love you. I love you. I love you. Period. Neville, the wonder, the wonder of reading between the lines, the precocious effervescent wonder that is Neville brought us a perspective. I am grateful. Thank you Father. Thank you Father. Thank you Father. When you read these words, I am he at the end of that sentence, unless you believe that I am he. Here we have a cryptic formula that recalls Exodus 3:14. When you go to them, just say to them, I am has sent you. Then we turn over to Deuteronomy, the 32nd of Deuteronomy. See now I am even I am he. And there is no God beside me. I kill and make alive. I wound and I heal. I do all these things and there is none that can deliver you. And there is none that can deliver out of my hand. Read it in the 32nd of Deuteronomy, the 39th verse. No one can deliver out of my hands. And I do all things. Then we turn to the 43rd and 45th of Isaiah. I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel. And beside me there is no God, there is no Savior besides this. I am you. I really hope you're going down the slide as fast as possible in this understanding because it is so. Because it is so simple. Neville's clarified it, punctuated it profoundly, stated it ad infinitum, not ad nauseam. But we need it. We need to repeat this over and over and over. And we gotta finally, every little corner of this thing called the mind has to cover all these different scenarios once you satisfy all that. I did that with the Seth material over two and a half decades with my teacher. A couple, three more years, as I said many times before, drafted into Oponopono, which is a wonderful focus on love and gratitude, major focus on those things. And then find Neville. It's a process. But the Seth material, I was able to cover every single question that this could Throw just in the Seth material. Then everything else just seemed to become frosting and, and etc. But it's all here in Neville. I describe those other things because that's my experience. That's exactly the road I traveled. But if you're new to Neville and you're new to this in all of it, you don't have to go to those other studies. You can just do it right here with Neville because he cuts to the quick. Someone put a comment. I forget what it was. But my, but my response was the beauty of Neville is that I think it was human imagination. Shout out to. So my response was I like Neville because he cuts to the. He just. He cuts to the. To the quick. He focuses on the right now and deal with it. Right now. I am this. You don't have to go around going into therapy and trying to drain the swamp of your mind of all the bad thoughts. No, you just stake your claim. Now that's the beauty of Neville. He deals with it now and becomes it. Now there's no delay with Neville. With a lot of other studies there can be seeming delays, especially if you're dealing with gatekeepers, etc. And this kind of thing. So you must be the judge. I can't judge you. Do you believe in him now or do you have a mental picture of a being on the outside who lived 2000 years ago who addressed the Pharisees and the Jews of the day and the. And told them as something external to himself, that if you don't believe that I am he, well then you will die in your sins. Fascinating. It just came into my mind growing up. My parents had a picture of I guess Jesus. I guess that was the image. You know, I've seen this picture in a lot of relatives houses as a little kid. And I saw this picture in my house growing up and it's like, okay, that's Jesus. Okay, so you know it's from where I'm sitting today. That's kind of dumbfounding. And as Neville points that many, many times. Make no graven images unto me or before me. It's fascinating to have a memory that that was supposed to be the picture of the man as a man per se. And to go 180 degrees with Neville and to realize it's in you, not out of you is a big, big leap. Especially when your indoctrination began. As a very little kid, you saw it in the church I went to catechism, I had first communion. All these fun things. And you see it A certain way. That's the indoctrination and that's what you believe from early age. But to go on a trip with Neville, he's what I love about him the most is he's returning you to the real source, which is self. And that's the main message of Seth. Jane Roberts, Robert Butts Seth the main message of that entire body of work is self. The only authority is self. There is no authority outside of yourself. Period. Main message Neville's delivering. Main message Seth delivered. They reconcile wonderfully. Back to Neville. I'm going to repeat so you must be the judge. I can't judge you. Do you believe in him now or do you have a mental picture of a being on the outside who lived 2000 years ago who addressed the Pharisees and the Jews of the day and told them as something external to himself, that if you don't believe that I am he, well then you will die in your sins. Question mark. You can't see the mystery that way. It's either you see in the depths of your soul between your own being. It's a dialogue between the outer man and the inner man. And when you really believe in this inner man, your own wonderful I am ness. Nothing is impossible. And then things are revealed to you that startle the reasoning mind. Get ready. Make it a habit not to panic. Let me share with you an experience. I've told you in the past that you're only wearing a garment. This is a garment. Whether it is to be. This is a garment. Whether it be a so called white garment, a black garment, a yellow garment, a red garment. What do we need, a color wheel? They're only garments. But I am not white, pink, yellow or red. I am spirit. I am. Now I have told you in the past, my closest intimate in this field of mine was Abdullah. He and I studied. I studied with Abdullah for seven years in New York City, seven days a week. We were inseparable. Ab was an old man when I met him. Let me just make my note because I like my Abdullah. Abdullah was an old man when I. Ab was an old man when I met him. He was then about 90. He was born in Ethiopia of the Negro race in the Hebraic faith. This was his background. I was born as you see this garment. I've worn this from birth in the Christian faith and we were inseparable. He taught me scripture as I've never heard it from my mother's knee or from my minister or from anyone who taught me the Bible before it became a book. That was alive to me under the guidance of, of Abdullah. Well, here's a man, you look at him, here's a negro. This brilliant, wonderful gentleman never once for one moment made any other claim. He would only say to me, I picked up this garment 90 odd years ago in Ethiopia. He always described it as a garment that he wore, just a garment as William Blake, the great mystic poet has said that when he first, when once he did descry the immortal man that cannot die. And then he addresses in the form of an epilogue to what he calls the ruler of this world, Satan, the ruler of this world. The doubt of this world, Right. And then as he put these words into the mouth of the of one addressing Satan, this doubt that he does not know the garment from the man. Thou really art a dunce, said he. And dost not know the garment from the man? Thou really art a dunce, said he. And dost not know the garment from the man. A man looking at a man sees a man as the thing he's wearing and doesn't for one moment discriminate between the wearer and the thing worn. Well this morning in my usual ventures in the mind here I found Abdullah. Ab is gone from this world. Now here stands before me and Ab was my height. I'm 5 11. I'm 5 11. Abdullah stands before me a man not over 50 years old, about 65 in a Caucasian body. And here is Abdullah before me. No loss of identity, no change of identity, but this majestic figure. And he and I were discussing this theme of tonight. Now then he showed me a little instrument with a tape. And then he said, now as you know Neville, it only echoes. That's all that it can do. That's the world. The world is only mechanism. It's just mechanical. The whole vast world, the eternal structure of God's eternal world. All these garments, they're just as mechanical as that. And now you're not going to speak into it. You're only going to hear. You're going to listen. And what you listen to will play back there. What you listen to and hear from within you, as you actually hear it, you'll play it back there. I thought of this party, that party, that party and whatever I thought of and the very things I heard as I thought of it. And then he played it back. Coming from that tape, not a word voiced from my vocal cords, just inwardly imagining that I am hearing the sound of a certain friend's voice. And here comes this mechanical echo playing back. Well, here was this majestic creature, Abdullah, six foot Five at the least, towering in this sheer majesty. And here, what he never wore on earth. So I say I saw him in his primal form. He could have presented himself to me in an Oriental form. He could have presented himself to me any form because all races are at his disposal. For when one rises into the spiritual world, all things are subject to his imaginative power. And when I first met Ab and came into this place, he said to me, you are late. Neville called me by my name. Never saw the man before. He said, you are late, Neville. Six months late. I said, I am late. I never saw you before. How do you know that I am late? He said, the brothers told me you were coming, and so you are six months late. For six months ago they told me to expect Neville. Neville's coming. And you mustn't leave the city until Neville has received all that you must give him. Fascinating. When you go, he must carry on. And here was this man. I never saw him before. I couldn't remember him. Then he said, you have no memory. But it'll come back. It'll all come back. And then for seven years, as I told you earlier, we were inseparable. For he taught me Hebrew and taught me the Scriptures, both ancient and modern, or rather the old and the new. And I began to experiment with this strange, peculiar power in man which he taught me was Christ Jesus. Nothing but Christ Jesus. The power and the wisdom of God. First Corinthians 1:24. God is your own wonderful. I am Ness. And Christ was that in action. I am Ness in action is Christ God in Christ reconciling the world to himself. And so unless one believes in him, he is condemned, completely condemned. Why is he condemned? Because he can't get out of what he is. This whole massive paragraph here just reminds me of my teacher, Sylvia and I. I moved in January of 91 to a building next to her building. She was at 768-redondo. And I moved into 774-redondo- Avenue in Long Beach. And I was. I moved into number two in the front. And then I was just about to move into number 11 when I had my first consultation with her. And she told me, so you're going from a number two to a number 11? I said, yeah. He says, well, you're going to be getting involved with teaching. And I didn't understand what the heck she was talking about, but the 11 in numerological terms is master teacher. And she told me, you need to have a lot of light when you move in there. Make sure a light Keeps coming in through those windows. And so I set it up so it was the second story. So I set it up. Number two is in the front. Eleven was in the back second story. So I set it up to where the curtains were kind of translucent, but they only covered half of the window. The top half was open. So I set it up to have light. And what's funny is I put some. I put these light bulbs in there. I lived in that place for five years. I put these candelabra light bulbs in there that were set up because these fixtures were candelabra on flanking the fireplace, kind of a mock fireplace. They had old gas heaters in those places. And they even had the original ice boxes in those refrigerators. Those bulbs lasted five years like nothing. And it was like, you know, back then, bulbs burned out so fast. But I remember just that light concept going. But the Sylvia concept was when I moved in in January of 91. Then I went and had my first consultation with her in September. So I probably started talking to her in August, just as the neighbor out there watering her lawn, etc. And that's how I ran into her. And I'd go out there and I'd throw my skateboard down on the concrete and she'd be literally watering her lawn. She'd turn the hose this way. And I was like, hey, you know, it's just a lady standing there watering her lawn. 68 year old lady, 25 year old kid. I throw my skateboard down and just start skating off like a bullet, you know. And then she would just be laughing. And I just, you know, that kind of thing. Nine months later, that's when we started our engagement. But the funny thing is how he got together. He's already late. And now we come to Blake. And then Blake in his wonderful thought to his friend Crabb, Robinson. Blake said to Robinson one day, there is nothing like death. Death is the best thing that can happen in life. But most people die so late and take such an unmerciful time in dying. God knows their neighbors never see them rise from the dead. You see, Blake had this strange use of words and he gave an enlarged meaning to words. So you say something died. You think, well, now we put it in the grave. No, we're in. We're in the grave. And we are in the grave of what is now our problem. And so we won't believe in him to get out of it. For he is the resurrecting power. He can pull us out of every problem in the world. And so If I now believe that I am poor, unwanted, this, that and the other, if I believe in man, I am pulled out of the grave and my neighbors will see me rise for from the dead. But if I don't know this, I take such a long time disengaging myself from the state that I seem never to rise from the dead. Well, how would I rise from the dead? By this simple little technique that I've told you over the years. Now, when I know what I want to be, I simply assume that I am it. But I'm not dumb. And so, if I were it, I would share my good fortune with others and I would tell them. And they in turn would talk to me and tell me as a friend how they rejoice because of my good fortune. This is a big one, man. I'm telling you. This one is huge. This is such a big, very, very good imagining tool. Use it, just use it right away. When I know what I want, I'm going to repeat. When I know what I want to be, I simply assume that I am it, but I'm not dumb. And so, if I were it, I would share my good fortune with others and I would tell them, and they in turn would talk to me and tell me as a friend how they rejoice because of my good fortune. So now I carry on a mental conversation from the premise of my wish fulfilled, carry it on with them and listen carefully until I actually hear the sound of their voice within me physically. They may be in Timbuktu. I don't care where they are physically. The fact that I bring them in my mind's eye and carry on with them this mental conversation. Then, in a way that I do not know, in my conceptual mind, the thing happens, yes, true, and I'm resurrected from my former state, which was a dead state, into this now new living state. So Blake was quite right. But he said, there is nothing more wonderful than death. Then he observed that man trying so hard to get out of poverty and getting all the more into it, like quicksand. He's trying to get out of something, but going all the more into it because he doesn't believe in Christ Jesus. Listen to those words. Psychologically, in the depth of your soul. Listen to what was just said. And I will repeat, because it is. It should blaze into you. There's nothing more. This is Blake. There's nothing more wonderful than death. Then he observed that man trying so hard to get out of poverty and getting all the more into it, like quicksand. He's Trying to get out of something but going all the more into it because he doesn't believe in Christ Jesus. He'll go to a church and pray to some saint on the wall and light a candle and do all these things on the outside, but he doesn't believe in Christ Jesus. If he really believed in Christ Jesus, he wouldn't go anyplace. Wherever he stands, it could be at a bar with a drink before him and maybe two in him. And simply shut out the bar completely and carry on a mental conversation with a friend who is not physically present from the premise of fulfilled desire. And that is believing in Christ Jesus, Plain and simple. Mic drop moment big. Because wherever such a man stands is holy ground. He's actually standing on holy ground because he's one with Christ Jesus. He is walking in the company of Jesus. And no matter where he goes in this world, he is actually one with him. And this is believing in him. Wow. A couple paragraphs right there. Rewind, play again. Rewind play again. There's a lot of very powerful stuff right there. Now it's hard not to go back and reread that. I mean, I just want to. It's like bread and gravy right there, man. Wow. Now the question is asked, how can man call upon him in whom they do not believe? And how can they believe in him of whom they've never heard? Good point. And how can they hear of him without a preacher? And how can there be a preacher unless he is sent? So faith comes from what is heard and. And what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ. Romans 10, 14 and 17. There's nothing else to preach. The preaching of Christ. You have a problem, you don't know what. It's a mechanical problem, so it's a problem. He is the solution of all problems. So you carry on a mental conversation with a friend that it's solved. And maybe tomorrow you'll have an accident in your lab. A seeming accident. And the solution is the result of the accident. It has happened all over the world. I am told that vulcanization is the result of an accident. Something spilled on the stove. And whoever was there at the moment discovered vulcanization. That most of our so called grand inventions are simply the results of a seeming accident in the lab. But either knowingly or unknowingly, one believed in the solution of its problem. And so he was believing in the solution to the problem. And he believed it. He didn't go to some other party or some outside thing. Inwardly he believed it. Inwardly he believed it could be Found. And he found it. Well, now you actually taken and tested. You're called upon to test Christ. Test him and see. 2nd Corinthians 13:5. You test him in this simple, simple way. I saw it so clearly. Of course, I've been teaching it for years, Since I met A.B. but last night he came into my world. Remember, this is all about this dream, just dream with Ab, Right, I met AB but excuse me, I've been teaching it for years, Since I met A.B. but last night he came into my world just as real as you are now. In fact, more so. And yeah, that's how lucid dreams work. And visions, they're very much more real. And may I tell you. Well, you got to remember, now, let's deduce this. Blake says, this is but a shadow. The world of mortality is but a shadow of the real world, right? And I'm paraphrasing here, but this is the echo. This is the shadow of that which is real. And may I tell you, in eternity, you will never lose your identity. Not in eternity, though. God became you, and that's the stamp of identity. And when you awake, you are God, and yet you do not lose your identity. But in this world into which you go, you are God. And all things are subject to your imaginative power. And you can clothe yourself at will in any sex. He could have presented himself without loss of identity in the female form, in that form of the Oriental, in the form, and as he did last night, of the Caucasian, in the form of a Negro, in any form, based upon what he wanted to reveal to me. Seth would do this too, by the way. And the teacher Daskalos, the Magnus of Stravalos, when he was doing his healings and in his books. I just sold one on ebay. Which one did I sell? I think it's called Fire in the Heart. I just sold. I've got so many books. I just. That one I had for 30 years. No, since 1991, I think. Almost 35 years. I'm like, you know what? The more you own, the more it owns you, right? Fight Club. Wonderful books. The Magus of Stravalos, Fire in the Heart. And there's another one, wonderful healer, teacher. And I think, if I'm not mistaken, daskalos means teacher in. In Greek. But the point. When he did his healings, people would be stuck. Okay, so in the world of recurrence. I'm going to take a tangent. But the world of recurrence, when you're stuck mentally and you're just going to, let's say it's an unalive of yourself and you're going to unalive yourself and you're stuck mentally, and you restore. You come back again and you do the same thing again, and then you restore and you're on this. You're stuck. So as the healer, he. I don't know if he's still alive. I did meet somebody who. Side story again. I met somebody when I was doing a fair at the Learning Light foundation, who studied with him. And she tried to get into my. You know what? She tried to put heat under me. I'll never forget the moment. I'm like, what are you doing? This was 1993 or 90. Yeah, 90. I'm like, what are you doing? And I was giving her this numerology consultation. That's a tangent. Go back to Daskalos, the teacher under whom she studied. He was the healer that he would go and how he would get people unstuck, all right? They would be stuck in that cycle, and then recurrence would just be over and over, and he would find them, and he'd find them stuck. And he would have to become. He would have to become. And I remember the stories, they were fascinating. He would become the God that they actually believed in. He would take on that garment to then talk to them, because they were literally just stuck in a place. Just stuck. I've been stuck, so I know what it's like. And you just don't think there's any other thing. You just are just. And some people can do this through lives. They just recur. They go back on the wheel of recurrence and do the same thing again. The same thing again. Or you do it in one life and you do it over and over. And so this healer teacher would go find them where they were. This is all spiritual. This is all in meditation. And he would become the garment of what they would communicate with. And then in that communication, in that meditation, he would unstick them. He would tell them, you are this or you are that. But he would be wearing the garment, the main point. He'd be wearing the garment of what they would only listen to, whatever that was. They're wonderful books if you ever get it. Want a side read? Those are good books, as he did last night, of the Caucasian in the form of a Negro in any form, based upon what he wanted to reveal to me. That's the main point. But he came in that form to confirm what I've been telling you and that you do not lose identity. And that you're not black, white, yellow, pink, or any color or any other color. You're God. God became man. And God is man. God really is man. God is human. People think he's a big light and force and power. Yes, he's all that. He's infinite power, almightiness, yet he's man. To stand in the presence of God as almightiness, and to know it, it is almightiness and it's man. And to stand in the presence of God and its infinite love, and it's man. Then to read the divine image of the mystic Blake, where God appears and God is light to those poor souls who dwell in night. But does the human form display to those who dwell in realms of day? Then he goes on to take it apart for us. And mercy has the human heart, pity the human face and love the human form divine, and peace the human dress. And to stand to confirm that. To stand right in the presence of infinite love and know it is the human form. It's the human form. And he looks you right in the face and then embraces you. And you are fused with the body of God. You become one with the body of God without loss of identity. So all of us, the 3 billion and more of us, will not lose any identity, only raised to the nth degree of majesty with no loss of identity, with a power at your command, where you can clothe yourself at will in any sex, in any racial form, or even without form if you so desire. But your face is still pity. Infinite compassion on that face and the heart, infinite mercy and the form itself, love divine. There's a fascinating piece in here because I've looked. I've been in a lucid dream and I've looked at my arms, and they were black arms. I don't like these colors. The color wheel crap. We're all God, and I know that, and I get that, and I truly believe and understand that. But I did look at myself and I saw my arms. They were of a black person's arms. And I thought, wow, look at this. In the dream, I'm like, whoa, this is wow. And then I was doing stuff and I don't. I forget the rest of that dream, but I just remember seeing my arms. It was fascinating. So you be the judge of yourself. Let no man judge you. Who are the condemned tonight? Do not leave this room condemning self. Don't leave this video condemning self. Be like the woman taken in adultery. The law says. The law of the world, the law of Caesar. Condemn her by stoning her to death. And so he rose within himself. For we are told, he is bent and down on the sand when condemnation took place. And he was writing on the sand. And then when he rose, what are the words they said? Who are you? He said, even what I have told you from the beginning. And when you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he. John 8, 25 and 28. When you have lifted up the Son of Man, you'll know I am He. And that's a true story. The day will come, you'll have that experience, and you'll find yourself looking at living, and you'll find yourself looking at living, living golden light. And it's alive, very much alive. As you look at it from the depths of your soul, you will know I am it. And then at that very moment of the knowledge you are it, you fuse with it. And then you are lifted up. Then you will know the words, as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up. John 3:14. I think it's the second time we're quoting that in this one lecture. In the same manner in which the serpent, which always means the departure of Israel from Egypt, when man is departing from this age and leaving it forever behind him, but still leaving it in its present frame, frame, he departs the spirit that is now God, for he became one with God. So he's lifted up in the same manner that the symbol was lifted up in the darkness of Egypt, the departure of Israel from Egypt. So when the individual is called out of this age into that age where he's completely free, but completely set free, then he's lifted up like Judge, just like the serpent. And you're told, in that day you will know that I am He. And you do. You look at it and you know I am He. And fusion takes place. And then I am goes up right into Zion, into the skull. You'll know when the feeling overwhelms you that I am He. You'll know you've had. You'll know there's no not knowing. And there is no forgetting, either. It just overwhelms you. So tonight, don't condemn yourself. Stop it. If you don't condemn yourself, no man in this world can condemn you. They can't do it. If you don't want to share with them at the moment what you're inwardly desiring and planning to accomplish, well, don't share it. But don't waver. You carry on these inner conversations, always from premises of fulfilled desire, and do not waver in the outcome. But, excuse me, be adamant about it and no power can stop it from coming to pass. They can't stop it. You try it and you will know from your own personal experience that it can't be stopped. Because all things are possible to God, and God is in Christ Jesus, reconciling the world to himself. So I am in Christ Jesus Christ. Jesus is God in action. Imagining is imagination in action. Same thing. Same thing. You read the scripture carefully. You come to certain words and take your time to look up the word in the concordance. You see it means imagination. The active part of imagination is imagining, and therefore that is God in action. Now, like the speaker, if you were raised in the Christian faith, as I was raised, you too held a man on the outside and thought him to be Christ Jesus, didn't you? Well, now you can say this to almost every person in the world. They're startled when they hear comes straight from Scripture, from the New Testament. But if you've never heard it in this manner, there. But if they've never heard it in this manner, they're really startled. From now on, I will regard no one from the human point of view. Even though I once regarded Christ from the human point of view, I regard him thus no longer. You know who said it? Paul. You will read it. In his second letter to the Corinthians, the fifth chapter, 16th verse. I once regarded Christ from the human point of view. I regard him thus no longer. He saw the light, and then he died. And so in this wonderful letter of his, the previous letter, the first letter to Corinthians, he said, I die daily. 1531. He discovered the art of dying. So he didn't die once in the lifetime. He. He died daily. I die every day, he said. So today I have a problem. And as long as I have that problem, well, then I'm alive to that problem, and the problem is alive to me, and I'm keeping it alive. For life is in me, not in it. And I, by occupancy of that problem, I animate it and make it alive. Now I must detach myself from that state, which is now a problem, and attach myself to the solution of that problem. In doing so, I die to one and live to the other. So he said, I die every day. Every day he's faced with a problem. And now he knows how to die by giving up one state and entering another state. And he makes the state that he enters alive. Why? Because Life is in himself. Every time you imagine lovingly for another, you are becoming self persuaded that that new person is now in front of you. The old person that you were before used to believe this person had the limitation. But when you imagine lovingly for this person in his new state, you have become a new. You have died to yourself. You were one, now you're another. So you die daily, even when you imagine lovingly for another. Here this past week, you must have seen a daily paper. Our scientists, there are two schools of thought. Some believe that there is no life outside of Earth. And others believe there's a possibility of some life, maybe on the moon, maybe on Mars, maybe some other place. But they are equally divided. Some believe there is no life outside of Earth, as we understand biological life. Others believe that there is life and let us go and seek it, even if it takes 50 billion to prove or disprove. I'll tell you from my own revelation, I didn't know it before it was revealed to me. Life is an activity of imagining. Everything is dead. And were it not that he who occupies this garment has life in himself, nothing here would live. Everything would be dead, just like garments are dead, but they seem to be animated when you put them on and start walking. And so these physical garments are just as dead. And you put them on and start walking. And so they appear to be something alive in themselves. They're not alive in themselves. They are alive only because you, the occupant, you are alive. You have life in yourself. And they can start from now to the end of time, and they aren't going to find life outside of an activity of imagining. I don't care what they do, they aren't going to find it. As the father has life in himself, so he has granted the son also to have life in Himself. John 5:26. But nothing else is alive. It's all dead. The whole vast world is dead. And this is the cradle of God's grand experiment to actually bring himself out and give life to that which he brings out. Life in itself, it's all here. So in one little book called man and the Stars by Sir James Jeans. And someone asked him that similar question, why do you think as an astrophysicist, that little earth, this tiny little speck, you couldn't even see it. Were you on the sun, you couldn't see the earth. It's so small. You can see the sun because it's so vast from the earth. But were you on the sun, you couldn't see the earth. It's such a tiny little speck. What makes you so arrogant to believe that you, because you're a man, that this thing called Earth is so unique in this fabulous universe of God. But if there is a God, said the scientist, you know what? So he said, where is your father? He said, if you really knew me, you would not ask that, because you could not really know me in the true sense of that word and not know God. For he and I are inseparable. That's what he's telling them. And so when you see me, you see Him. When you see me, you see the Father. John 12:45 and 14:8. So don't ask me to show you the Father, for I and the Father are one. That's what he's saying. In the depths of the soul, one he is the Father. So that is not the name of the Son. The name in this case is the nature of the Son of God, which is an inner livingness, an activity of your own wonderful human imagination. So my plea to you, if you were trained as I was trained, listened as I had to, first I had to die to all these beliefs and so completely die to them. I did not know how to explain that to my mother. I didn't want to hurt her, didn't want to hurt my father. They were trained as I was trained. And then they confront those that you love dearly. And you cannot enter into the conversation that formally would be a normal part of. Of an evening's discussion. For you took for granted the historicity of the Bible and now you can't take it at all. It's a mystery. It's not secular history at all. It's divine history. The whole thing is unfolding in the soul of man. And everyone is destined to play all the things claimed of Christ Jesus to be supernaturally born. And he has, excuse me, and he was supernaturally born. And to be one who discovers his own fatherhood, one with God the Father, One who is lifted up in the same manner that he said, when you lift me up, then you will know that I am he. And it will have everything recorded about him actually transpire in the soul of yourself. And the whole thing then becomes something very personal. And you know it is true of every being in the world. When it begins to unfold, the end is in sight. And then you are departing from this age into the age already prepared for those who are being lifted from this age. But all will be lifted from this age. Profound. Therefore, take the story. Nothing is more important than that the story of Christ Jesus should be heard and responded to. In the Book of John, it is underlined that necessity of hearing. One has to hear it. So go and preach Jesus Christ, not as secular history. Go and try to the best of your ability to unfold for anyone who will hear you the mystery of that story. Because everyone is going to have it. And so you will be supernaturally born, not through the womb of woman. That's a natural birth. You will discover that you have no father to this birth, no mother, your self begotten. And then you're a father. And then comes the tangible proof of your fatherhood. Because a son appears now, you know exactly who he is, and he calls you Father. All the generations of humanity, plus all of their accomplishments, their experiences, but everything fused into a single youth. And that youth is eternity, but yet it's human. His name is David, and he calls you Father. Then you know then, but not before, who you really are. So the question is then asked of you in the depth of your soul, where is your father? And you answer, if you knew me, you wouldn't ask, because you'd know who I am. If you really knew me, then who are you? Even what I've told you from the beginning, that's what he answers. Even what I've told you from the beginning. And now you don't know me, said he, but I'll tell you just what I was from the beginning. And then everyone will then meet in this eternity, all fused into one body without loss of identity. And that body is the most radiant body that you could ever conceive. And it's God the Father. And you are He. All one and not one lost in all God's holy mountain. Not one condemned ever by God. He is not a God of retribution. He's a God of infinite love. And so none will be lost. And all will be raised to the nth degree of beauty, of perfection, majesty, and every attribute of the world you can think of, raised to the nth degree. And that's you. Now, tonight, put this to the test. You put it to the test tonight. In the things of life, like a better job and more money on it, a better home, more security, everything in this world that you want. Don't ask anyone if it's possible. Don't do it. You do it. All the generations of humanity, plus all of their accomplishments, their experiences, but everything fused into a single youth. And that youth is eternity. But yet it's human. His name is David, and he calls you Father. Then you know then, but not before, who you really are. So the question is then asked of you in the depth of your soul, where is your father? And you answer, if you knew me, you wouldn't ask because you'd know who I am. If you really knew me. Then who are you? Even what I've told you from the beginning, that's what he am, it's human. His name is David and he calls you father. Answers even what I've told you from the beginning. And now you don't know me, said he, but I'll tell you just then. You know then, but not before who you really are. So the question is then asked what I was from the beginning. And and then everyone will then meet in this eternity, all fused into one body without loss of identity. And that view in the depth of your soul, where is your father? Body is the most radiant body that you could ever conceive. And it's God the Father and you are he all one and not one lost in all God's holy mountain, not one condemned ever by God. He is not a God of retribution. He is a God of infinite love. And so none will be lost and all will be raised to the nth degree of beauty, of perfection, majesty, and every attribute of the world you can think of raised to the nth degree. And that's you now tonight put this and you answer. If you knew me, you wouldn't ask because you'd know who I am if you really knew me. To the test. You put it to the test tonight in the things of life, like a better job and me then who are you? Even what I've told you from the beginning, that's what he am. More money on it, a better home, more security. Everything in this world that you want answers. Even what I've told you from the beginning and now you don't know me, said he. But I'll tell you, just don't ask anyone if it's possible. Don't do it. You do it by just. You do it just by inwardly carrying on the conversation with yourself from the premise that it's done and see it happen in your world. Here what I was from the beginning. And then everyone will then meet in this eternity. Then it happens. But don't forget how it happened. You take this discussion with someone, they may say to you, well, you know, it would have happened anyway. And then comes the great accuser of the world, the great doubter of the world. But he knows nothing, the doubter of the world, because he doesn't know that you're not the garment that you wear, the doubter of the world. And he thinks that your exit from this world through the gate of death is your final departure for all time. But he doesn't know who you are. He thinks that when you came into this world, you began for the first time. He doesn't know who you are. You came from God and you returned to God. He doesn't know who you are. You came from God and you return to God. And while you came into this world, it didn't really matter what was the nature of the garment that you picked out. And it didn't really, because wherever you picked it up, regardless of the race, the nation, you only picked it up for educative purposes, to hear Christ Jesus while you walk the earth and of the real Christ Jesus and then test it. And then while you're walking this earth, then without notice to you, a sudden unfolding within you, a series of mystical experiences which blank space you to leave it. And you're leaving this world forever, but still leave it behind you for those who are being woven into it for the same educative purpose. So this transition you have to see it is also a state you're born into the new age through resurrection, you're going into a different state than the state you're currently in. And in this state you're currently in before this transition he's talking about is multiple states. And I'm sure in that new state, in that new age is also keyed high in your imagination, things happen instantly. I'm sure there's multiple states there too. This is preschool. Now let us go into the silence and let us imagine that someone is talking to us and telling us either of their good fortune, which we want for them, or else they are aware of our good fortune. And as a friend, they are present to congratulate us. They would say, excuse me, what would they say if they really were your friend and they heard of your good fortune, how would they express it? Well, now let them express it. And you listen carefully as though you hear them. It says as though you heard them. They are compelled to meet you as that being and express what inwardly you have heard them say. When they express it, it's because the thing has already happened and they are fully conscious of it. And as a friend, they simply joy in congratulating you. Now let us go it. All right, man, it's getting better and better. Blank space. They are all marvelous stories. I hope you will keep it up. So now he has the technique perfectly. Because he heard first of all, he gave us three decided techniques. The first was feeling when he felt the policy in his hand. And although no one else could get a policy in the area where he lived, he got the policy out of the blue. It came without any increase in any surcharge. Although it was a friend, it was all resolved. Then came the visual concept. He used it to see the green where there was no green, only mauve decayed marble. When he saw green out of the nowhere, a total stranger became the means to move away the little fence and then put it where he had mentally seen it. So he had the sense of touch, he had the visual sense aroused. And then with his producer, where he could take a man who could never express himself in the super, in the superlative, could only express his joy by saying it is good. And now he raised it from that limited state that a thing is good to great, very great, or just great, and then terrific, and then finally to absolutely sensational. So he took a man who could not go beyond the expression of good when he approved of something and raised that man's ability to express himself more generously, all by hearing what we just did. When we went into silence, all we were doing was hearing. We're hearing our loved one, our friend, congratulate us on the good news. I used it today in my silence, as I was in being congratulated. Normally in my silences I'm going in the other way. But it's all, whatever, just do it. But today I was listening and I heard, I heard, I heard, I heard. I had one, two, three, four people in there. It was wonderful. It's all about Christ Jesus is here exercising him. Or his aliveness is when you shut these and you imagine that's him alive in you. He's rising in you. Only when you use your imagination. That's it. It's that simple. What we did as little kids automatically. Don't forget to watch that little Pammy video. So again he confirmed Blake's definition of imagination. It is spiritual sensation, for he distinctly heard the man's voice. Not just a man, but that man. Very definite about the man he wanted to hear and what he wanted the man to say. So he heard it. That's talking about the producer's boss, right? So he heard it, and the man repeated it in the next breath. Really? So all things he shared with us were exciting stories. I want to thank. I want to thank him from the platform and hope he will continue to favor us with more of these wonderful stories. And everyone present, you're invited to experiment and then write me a letter and give me the permission to tell it if you want me to know it. But there is something in it you would rather not be broadcast. Just state it that you want me to know that it worked, but you would rather not have the thing told. I won't tell it, I promise you. Only with your permission. So you write me. But first of all, experiment. Now, are there any questions, please? Question inaudible My dear, there's nothing greater in this world. Good. It's a conversation that takes place in the depths of the soul. You can't get anything deeper than I am. It's the center of the universe. So when you hear it, you hear it from within. But quite often it seems to be to the individual who heard it as coming from without, but it's not really coming from without at all. The drama of the I am in the Book of John, the Gospel of John, is simply a series of I am sayings right through the entire Gospel because he's presented as God himself. So you find all the grand I am sayings in the Gospel of John. So thank you. I'm glad that you heard it. As is his friend, the writer, I call him his friend because such relationships can develop into very nice friendships. Though they are worlds apart socially and intellectually and financially, you can still have friends with every level in this world. You don't have to have them on your own level. Quite often they can't become friends. They're rivals. But this could be a very good friendship. He heard the grand voice and he thought it came from without. Then he heard it repeated a second time, and then a third time. And then the symbol of the presence was the one that scared him, as told us so clearly in the book of Exodus. And so when he looked, he hid his face because he was afraid of God. And he was afraid to look at the symbol of God, though he heard the voice coming from the depths of his soul. Now there. Are there any questions? Please, Any other questions? It just dawned on me when I've had under five times, under a handful of times, when I'm in a moment where I'm ready to catch that face of that homeless person and I'm ready to do the imagining lovingly for them, what do I represent in the moment? And when they turn their face, they literally are turning their face away from what I'm only there to imagine lovingly for them. And I've seen it. It's rather bizarre. They literally. It's like they know I am in the car and they're literally avoiding my car as I Turn the corner around them or something. I've seen it like at least three, four or five times the most. And it's always blown me away. But now I get it. This statement right here. And even the symbol of the presence was the one that scared him, as told us clearly in the book of Exodus. And so when he looked, he hid his face. And because he was afraid of God and he was afraid to look at the symbol of God, though he heard the voice coming from the depths of his soul. Imagination is God, I'm ready to imagine. And someone doesn't want to see God, they hide their face. Would you explain about the unjust steward? And his master commends him. You hear that question? First of all, it's a long one. And that's the theme I will use for the the Rascal. You'll find it in the coming series. A clever rascal. And that's the title I gave to the unjust steward. But far from being an unjust steward, it's something that you and I are invited to emulate, to be just as unjust as he. And falsify the record. Don't go into your office and falsify the physical record, because as you do it, you will know you run the risk of being put away and you're doing it to yourself if and when you get caught. But you falsify the mental record. That's what all repentance is. Are we not told this is an evil generation? Therefore, on this level, I. I would be the eyes of an unjust steward. Question INAUDIBLE Abdullah, question mark. Lived to be over 100 and had one consuming desire to put the body back where he picked it up, which was in Ethiopia. The last time I met Abdullah was about eight years ago in New York City. Let's do the math. He met Abdullah eight years ago in New York City. That would be. This is 1964. Let me just get my Abdullah. Post it here. I like keeping notes of these things. Don't know why, but There they are. Eight years ago, he saw him. This is 1964. And if we remember, the date of this is March 10th. Eight years ago, 1956. Okay, so doing the math, eight years ago from 64 is 56. He met him in 33. 33 to 56 is 20. Excuse me a minute. Excuse me. 23 years. So if you met him at 90, this math can't. This math. This is the first time I'm doing this. This math doesn't make sense just on the surface. If you met him at 90ish and 33 and will stay with him for seven years. That puts him up to 1940ish. So he met him 16 years later. I'm confused. Just saying. But he just dreamt about him the night before so he could mean that too. So excuse me, I don't want to be literal and figurative at the same time. About seven years ago I met his secretary. Excuse me. The last time I met Abdullah was about eight years ago in New York City. About seven years ago I met his secretary and she voiced the that request of his and said he was planning to return to Ethiopia. I haven't seen or heard from Abdullah or the secretary since. I know he's gone from this sphere. I know now that when I see him he is wearing his primal form which is completely under the control of his imaginative power. It was Abdullah who first taught me how to die. Like he said to me back in 1933, he you will die, but not surely die. Well, that seemed like so many idle words that I would die, but not surely die. And he was telling me the great truth that I could not at the time grasp. Because when he told me this, I was a strict vegetarian, teetotaler, celibate. I was everything that did nothing. That was Neville. Whatever man would do normally, I didn't do it. Therefore he said to me, you know, you're so good, you're good for nothing. Oh my goodness. And then he said to me, you're going to die. So I went to Barbados, still all these restrictions. And I came back from Barbados three months later and I hadn't one restriction on me. And I can't tell you to this day how it happened. Came back drinking wine and liquor and enjoying it. Tried to smoke, couldn't enjoy it. And when I, when I tried it and all the others that I tried, I enjoyed. And so that was my ab. And he would always say to me, the brothers came last night. And what the brothers told me to tell you always referred to the Divine Society as the Brothers. He really took it in the most wonderful manner. Our Father, therefore the fatherhood of God would imply Our Father, the brotherhood of man. And so the exalted men made to have gone through this veil of tears which is called death and resurrected from it are part of the Divine Society. Therefore the Brothers. And he never referred to them in any other way than the Brothers. The brothers told him I was coming and I was late. And the reason why I was late, the man who suggested to me that I should go there was to Hear him was a man that I didn't trust at all. He went to Fordham University in the hopes of becoming a priest and he flunked in his third year. His father was a rum runner in the days of prohibition and died and left him in a state the only child of $2 million. And he proceeded to lose the entire 2 million in the first year on Wall Street. So I had no confidence in his ability to do anything. Very, very funny. Just very, very funny. The reason I was late. And he just wouldn't listen to this guy. He just didn't have a respect for him. So I had no confidence in his ability to do anything. So when he told me that he met a man. Excuse me. So when he told me he met a man that I really must hear, I postponed and postponed and postponed the going. And one day I ran out of excuses and it was a Sunday evening and he said, now you have no more excuses. I know you have no dates, so come with me. So I accepted. AB Was just about to start when I went through the door. And so I took the first chair, not to disturb the 20 who were present. AB was sitting in a huge big chair. And he came right over, called me by my name. He said, neville, you are late. You're six months late. So I was stunned the man knew my name and could tell me that I was six months late. And it was about six months before that that David, his name was David Blank Space asked me to come and hear a man called Abdullah. And from that day on I never failed. I was with AB daily. Blank Space. But I can't. I have to pay rent here. But he would never take a dollar from me. Good night. Very, very similar to my teacher. I can't tell you how many lessons. I can't tell you the infinite number of lessons nor the humongous level of gratitude I have for my teacher. She only took a dollar from me when I paid for the classes that she was teaching. And as I said before, if I didn't, I did a consultation. I think I paid $60 for 90 minutes. I still have the cassette tape. I've already put it on MP3. It's in my computer. It's very fun. Listen. It's a fun thing to listen to yourself. From 1991, all the classes I took, I took tarot, I took numerology, I took palmistry. And astrology was always a part of a conversation because it was in the symbols of everything was the astrological significances. But as I took all these classes that was official. She charged $25 a class. I think. I think it was 20 or 25 a class. And it would be five classes, typically on each subject. So you'd wipe out the whole study. And I think it was five classes, if I'm not mistaken. I still have the binders, I have all the notes. I have all that stuff still. But after those classes, in all of our time together, there was never any exchange or idea of exchange, of value of money per se. It was just conversations, conversations, teaching, learning, conversations. And then it became both ways. And then she became a student in my classes, which was my Seth classes. And we just basically a co teacher of the class because she was there. But yeah, we learned a lot together and taught each other a lot. And just like he said about AB here, he would never take a dollar from me. And that's just the way that that goes in the student teacher relationship. What an amazing lecture. As usual. It just gets better and better and better and better and better and better. What is the name and date of this one? Who are the condemned? March 10th, 1964. We're going to see you in the next one.
