Neville Goddard - God Is The Great Artist

Welcome to the Reality Revolution. I am your host Brian Scott Today we have another remarkable lecture delivered by Neville Goddard on May 19th 1969 called God is the Great Artist this comes from this new batch of incredible lectures delivered in 1969 we've covered some amazing new ones That have opened up whole new avenues to explore in Neville's life and his teachings this one addresses the concept that God is the artist the great artist and I always relate to just the statement the title of this is very powerful to me because I have found when I am Painting or being an artist in any element. I feel the presence of the Creator with me more and more That there is a great desire by the Creator to share these moments of creation with us and That this whole reality that we exist within is Created by God. He is the great artist everything We're experiencing all the levels of consciousness all a part of an amazing play that has been written out by the great creator in which We are part God is the great artist God is the great Artist and there is no artistry so loving but that which perfects its worth through the ages in the making of its image God has but one consuming objective to make his image making his image in us to reflect himself and To radiate his glory now on this level. He exists here as our own wonderful human imagination All things exist in the human imagination Because the human imagination is the divine body called the Lord Jesus That is God on the highest level. His artistry is towards the making of his image on This level we are asked to do something similar. And so I say to a friend What would you like to be and he answers? Well, I would like to be a doctor Alright, that's an image and you a businessman and you and then he names this That and the other Well, we two are the artists lowered to this level for we are the artist on the highest level making ourselves The image which would radiate and reflect the glory of the being That we really are who is God? But while we are there on this level, we simply single out what we would like to be Now we are willing to give all our time to making of this image in the world of Caesar To become a great doctor to become a very successful Businessman and to become and you name exactly what you like in this world Well, how does God do it? God is the great dreamer in man And he is bound in a deadly dream until he forms in himself the image that we name in Scripture Christ Only when it is formed in him will he awaken from the dream? So he is bound in a deadly deadly dream Well, we can be bound in a dream too. And so the dream is Well, what would it be like if it were true? What true that I am a great doctor that I am most successful Businessman that I am a great painter a great musician What would the feeling be like if it were true now? I am told in Scripture that all things are possible to him who believes Can I believe it when at the moment I assume it that my reason and my senses deny it Can I persist in that image of myself? When you pray believe that you have received it and you will mark 1124 Therefore what is prayer? But imagination drenched in feeling what else is it? It certainly isn't using a lot of empty words Taking any prayer. I don't care even the Lord's Prayer every Sunday in church They all repeat the Lord's Prayer and come out just as they were when they went in no prayers answered Now they are going to stop praying to those demoted Saints, but all the Saints are equally mythological all of them there aren't any read the hundred and fifteenth Psalm and see what those things really are and Those who believe in them are just as stupid as those who make them and sell them. So here in our world How would I go about being the artist that could make myself into the image of the successful? And I name it the successful minister of the Word of God Why I have to start just as I did on the highest level that I have finished it must actually go to the very end I Assume that I have done what now I am starting to do and remain faithful to the end For the most creative thing in us is to believe a thing in I bring it into existence Objective existence by believing it in so can I really believe that something is already objective in my world? That at the moment no one can see in my mortal eyes can't see it But I can walk drenched in the feeling that is can I support? That feeling in my world until it becomes an objective fact Well, that's how all things are brought into being for all things exist in the human imagination But everything and the human imagination is God himself That is divine body that we call in Scripture Jesus the Lord So am I willing to step out completely and ask no one if it's right or wrong Or what else and dare to walk in that assumption as though it were true. I tell you it will come to pass Let me share with you now a simple little story. I've told it before I don't think many of you present have heard it. This chap is a very dear friend of mine. He lives in New York City He was born in Odessa, Russia of a very poor Jewish family He knew what it was to be frightened when he heard that they were coming meaning the Cossacks they burned they ruined They caused pain for the sheer joy of frightening people and destroying and they had their pogroms Well, here was a boy not more than nine or ten the oldest of a family of five. His mother died soon after The last one was born. He was the head of the family. The father had no money. He worked Yes, but he had little to really maintain a family of five without the help of his wife And so little Joseph went out to work Naturally at the age of nine What could you do with simply go to the bank and change the money into smaller denominations or be a busboy or something in? a store Every day Joe would go to the bank with his large denominations and change them into smaller ones and bring them back Well, he had never known what it was to wear shoes He always wore his feet wrapped up in whatever they do to wrap them up because he had no shoes He had never known what it was to have a pair of slacks that his father bought They were always given to him by charity They were simply collected by the Jewish element and then these poor families received worn-out clothes So he had his slacks given his shirts given everything given He never knew what it was to have a new pair of slacks or a pair of shoes So this day in question and no one taught him this it came from the depth of his soul because man brings Into this world with him innate knowledge He looked at this bearded teller this cashier as he put the money through and he noticed That the big copper things and the silver things when rolled into paper resembled each other But in value they were widely separated in value. So he said to himself not to anyone else Wouldn't be wonderful if you made a mistake Oh, wouldn't it be marvelous if you made a mistake and then all in his imagination when he rolled the money Through the window to Joseph Joseph took the money in the same assumption that he had made the mistake and walked in a sense of joy Back to his place Reason told him he had not made a mistake, but thought he would have fun. What a joy if he had made the mistake I would buy a pair of slacks a pair of shoes and eat until it came through my ears The thing that he had never experienced before To get up from a meal satisfied So he walked back to his place of business and took in the rolls of money and it was exactly what he was sent to Get but he had the satisfaction of that long walk of many many blocks in the mood That he had what he wanted the next day. He went back to the same bank the same teller put in similar Denominations to get similar reduced denominations and he saw the man make the mistake He saw it and he knew that man made the mistake when he passed it through He went back and he wrestled with himself on the way back But his hunger his poverty his embarrassment were greater than the ethical code that his mother tried to instill within him So he went to another bank and got it changed into the real denominations that his business expected He would not take from the business anything. He took them back exactly what it was Then he had all this money left over so he went and bought himself a pair of slacks and bought himself a pair of shoes and Went into a restaurant and ate until he could eat no more Then he went back to the business and gave them the money that night He said I didn't sleep I wrestled with my conscience all through the night for my mother was dead and she didn't teach me this She gave me a different ethical code not to steal and the Ten Commandments were woven into my brain I couldn't justify my acts But at least I learned a lesson I learned that an assumption though false if persisted in will harden into fact Now these are not his words, but these are his sentiments. The words I just quoted are the words of Sir Anthony Eden He didn't need money. This need was position but he knew a law which undoubtedly he used through his years when he came out of Eton and Came out of the higher university that Europe had to offer But he learned a lesson My friend Joseph today is a multi-millionaire I'm quite sure far far richer in Caesars dollars and cents than Anthony Eden He learned it and lived by it and today Joseph tells me I never done a customer for I feel I cannot afford to lose A customer when he is long long overdue in payment. I sit alone When my help has departed and I simply mentally write a letter thanking him not dunning him Thanking him for his check. I never ever post the letter I simply write it making it clear in my mind's eye and Neville within three or four days that check comes It never fails. I simply do it I have never had to lose one customer by suing by taking him to court or in any way dunning him I learned my lesson as a boy through poverty Well if poverty would teach that to everyone we all should be born equally poor Now he lives in an apartment in New York City where he pays 12,000 a year in rent He doesn't own the apartment. It's not a co-op I know the apartment well on the 33rd floor of Central Park South the corner of 7th Avenue Here is an apartment 12,000 a year rent his business in New York City I know he pays 45,000 a year in rent for that street business. Well, it's not as big as this Well, yes, you take the space of this area here not more than this. It's a long deep place Certainly if you took the square footage of this place that would not exceed this and he pays 45,000 a year rent now. He has his business in Paris and Puerto Rico and Brazil He learned it when he left Russia after the war when they collapsed in 1917 the Russian armies He came as a young boy of 16 or 17 into France and got a job driving a truck Garbage collector and here he was he was strong picking up the garbage and throwing it into the truck He simply moved from place to place one day. He met seemingly by accident a Russian and you know of her Anyway, you may not be old enough to know of her I saw her in England back in 1925 when she was really tops and that was Anna Pavlova the great dancer She said to him, you know Joseph You're young and attractive and I could quickly introduce you to so many women that would need your help Your father used to make them back in Russia, but he made corsets We don't need corsets today, but we need something to aid us even at my age I've just turned 30 and at my age I could use the help with all of my exercises and I think I have a perfect figure but when you hit 30 and go beyond every woman could use a little help to Look as she would like to look in the eyes of herself first and in others So why don't you take up them making of these things? And he called them foundations You're all familiar with his ad in the New Yorker and the things his name is Jay Burley You'll see his work here in Magnet. You'll see the work in all the fashionable places all over the country. That's Joseph Burley Here he learned that when he was a poor poor boy never having been satisfied with a meal that his father could provide and always wearing things given to him by the Jewish charities of Odessa one day he simply experimented He could lose nothing by that's why I'm asking you to experiment I teach you a principle and leave you to your choice and its risks now when I've told you this in the past I've always had someone in the audience who criticized me for telling it that I'm leading people astray And I've always had a suspicion that those who are most vocal in their criticism And I've met them at parties or those who I'm quite sure There's something in the depths of my soul tells me that they would go into a store and lift what is not theirs I know it as I'm standing before you and they're simply justifying their behavior by telling me I'm leading people astray I can see one lady now Rocks as big as well really rocks on both hands most unbecoming to have all this displayed with Everything hanging on her like Tiffany So when I told this at a dinner party at the ambassador one night just among 25 of us who were gathered She criticized me unmercifully for telling such a story and something in the depths of my soul told me don't leave your pocket But on the side here because with all of these She's going to take something from it and I knew it in the depth of my soul because the pickpocket is not necessarily a poor Person and the kleptomaniac is not necessarily someone who is poor You go into a party where they have fortunes and they can't Leave your pocketbook alone. They can't leave anything they'll pick up even one of your lovely napkins part of a set and put it in their purse while they're dining at your table and Break your set which you couldn't replace. I've witnessed these things So I'm telling you forget all these so-called codes. You're learning a principle We ate of the tree of good and evil and from then on we've suffered I'm not saying that anyone is going to go out and do it We aren't going to go out and steal from anyone So when she said to me, did he ever pay the money back? I said to whom would he send it Stalin for Stalin stole the entire place? Not just a few little things that he did Stalin took over the entire country and called it mine And then even called the people his and slaughtered 20 million of them So would he send the money back when he could afford it back to Stalin for there was no czar When he could afford to send it back in the meanwhile They took his head off and so to whom would he pay it in the meanwhile Joseph has given not to justify his conscience But out of the goodness of his heart tens and tens of thousands of dollars to help Friends plus charities. I mean to friends personal friends how often I've said to Joseph you can afford it. Here's a friend He needs a little lift for the moment and Joseph would never done him But he hasn't lost a penny because he applied the same principle if it takes a year two years three years They'll pay it back because Joseph will not done them But he will write that little letter and thank them for having sent it He will not take one penny in interest from any loan that he makes. I Know that from my own experience when I asked him to help a friend of mine when the friend sent back on the $2,000 loan a 6% interest Joseph sat right down and wrote him a check for that amount of interest and said we are friends I'm not in the business of loaning money. This was simply a friend to a friend So here is this simple wonderful principle and so God is the great artist and there is no greater artistry But none you can't conceive of any greater artist than the perfecting of a work Through ages in the making of one's own image Well, you want an image what's your image you want to be successful in business? Well, that's an image. Are you willing to simply assume that you are and wait for the vision has its own appointed hour? It ripens it will flower if it seems long then wait for it is sure and it will not be late Have a cook to three so which has his own appointed hour Are you willing to wait for the happiness? That you now seek or are going to try to make it come to pass by bulldozing someone and Arguing someone into some state. Are you actually willing to apply this principle if you are you'll become the successful businessman The successful doctor the successful minister of the Word of God or whatever. It is that you can actually state That's what I would like to be now. Can you assume it that you really are it if you can assume that you are it And you are willing to live in it as though it were true. No power on earth can stop it because you are God and he has no opponent unless he creates one himself Because there's nothing but God if man doesn't know that then he creates an opposition called the doubter Named in Scripture Satan or the devil, but really they are as existent as st. Christopher They're just as real the devil is just as real as st. Christopher millions believed in him So they gave him power which he did not possess Millions believed in the devil so they give him power which he doesn't possess Now we all have these little isms rising in the world concerning this thing You saw last Sunday in the paper in England somebody of some So-called magic workers or devil worshippers or something all such silly nonsense believe in nothing but God and God is your own wonderful human Imagination that you will depart this world. Certainly. This is a world of death Why remain here forever you only play your part here But the purpose of it here is to form the image when that image is formed in you You are born from above the first thing that happens to you after the image is formed you awaken and when you awake You are born and when you are born the child appears the signal of your birth Then a little while later comes a second great promise in the book of Isaiah unto us a child is born All right, a child is born to us a son is given and the son is given Isaiah 9 6 Here is the image You look right into the face of that son and he is you but that's your eternal youth You are the father and that is your son who glorifies you That's exactly what you look like matured if you could see yourself matured You would see the being that embraced me and sent me into the world That is the being and he is the image of the Sun when you meet the Sun But the Sun is eternal youth So you form the image in yourself and then the image becomes objective So faith is nothing more than the subjective appropriation of the objective. Hope here is my hope I hope to make the image so he said Set your hope fully upon the grace that is coming to you at the unveiling or the revelation of Jesus Christ 1 Peter 1 13 When the Christ Spirit stands before you well, then he is the anointed one he is your son Until Christ be formed in you said Paul. I will labor with you in travail until Christ be formed in you This he tells us in his wonderful fourth chapter of Galatians 4 19 But then just before that he said I'm afraid I've labored over you in vain. I see you are worshiping days and months and Seasons and years. I'm afraid I've labored in vain For man turns back to these little things and he thought they'd outgrown them. They turned back to images They turned back to days to months to seasons To years and call them holy seasons when there is no such thing not in God's kingdom Every moment of time is holy and wherever you stand That's holy because you are standing there no matter where you stand you stand at a bar That's a holy place because you are standing there Others tell you it shouldn't be done. You made it God. Well Wherever God is, where is he now? Wherever I stand that's where he is. That is holy ground That's true of every person in the world, but they won't believe it They think they've got to leave where they are a lovely environment with their family at home and rush off through the rain on a Sunday morning to church and If they don't get there on time, then they have violated God's wish He wishes you would stay home and love your family And if one day you could ease the burden of the one who does it all the time Well do it. If you can't do it as well as she does it through the week. All right, do it Anyway, she'll understand and be very happy that you could ease her for that moment And it's far better than rushing off towards some so-called church and praying to gods that do not exist And all this nonsense in the world I'm not telling you not to go to church. Some people enjoy the comfort and the friendships that they have there They enjoy the coffee clutch that follows it more than the service. They go out and say that's fun Now you can't miss it because right after service They're going to go and have a lovely brunch and then they gossip for another hour and have the most marvelous time tearing people apart So that's church and they meet there many of them in the hope of meeting a mate And so that is not what I'm talking about I'm talking about the great artist of the world and when you say I am that's he But we're on this level the level of Caesar, but we follow the same pattern on the highest level You are the one you who said let us make our image You are the one who said that we said it together for we are the collective unity that said together Let us make man in our image Then we became enslaved in this deadly dream and we forever this man that we are this heavenly man will not break his pledge He'll remain bound by his deadly dream until he forms his image in himself So all of my selections while I come down to the very lowest to be this that or the other They all add up while he remains faithful to that divine image That image is to make his image in himself and when it comes it is David that's his image For that is the Christ did one and that is the one called the anointed one So I have found him my anointed my chosen my firstborn and he has called me father. He's called me God He's called me the rock of his salvation Psalms 89 26 and I am I brought him into being now I can depart in peace for I've made exactly what I promised myself to do in the beginning of time I promised that I would do it and it had been taught us from the primal state that he which is was wished until he were and so I Wished that and I did not deviate. I kept the vision before me constantly No matter what I did in the lower levels of my being I made it all add up And so all things work for good towards him who loves the Lord for the Lord is your highest being remaining faithful to his image and Taking all the choices on himself as he rises up the ladder and all goes into making that image the image comes out Personified as David so tonight you can take your wish let no one tell you what you ought to be Here this I would call her a friend of mine Well, she is a friend of mine now and she shared with me a series of her visions She wants to be a composer I would tell her now you can be as great as you wish to be in one of her visions Which she shared with me she finds herself over a body of water into the side land. She is in the company of Chopin She said I didn't see him. I felt him. I knew it was Chopin and he is talking I can't tell you I heard words, but he's talking and he's going to show me how to compose Here I look down on this body of water. It's not only the subject but the inspiration of the composition this young girl She's just in her teens is telling me this fantastic picture concerning what she dreamt Well, then I tell her she said, you know having heard you quite a while ago I had a dream in which I was told in the dream to read numbers Well, the twelfth of numbers tells you that it is God who speaks to you in dream And it is God who makes himself known to you in vision 12 6 Here is a vision now when the vision breaks out in speech the presence of deity is affirmed Well, it broke out in speech. He's telling her even though she didn't see the face You didn't see the face right away the real face. You will not see until the Sun appears Just prior to that Yes You meet the risen Lord and you fuse with him and become one with him and you are he When the Sun appears now, he's only yourself made young He's the image of the being who spoke to you. Only he's young. He is the eternal youth It is your son that did all of your will but here in her vision She is with Chopin while being by nature a pianist what better one would you have as an instructor and So she's being instructed in spirit But she is the spirit of Chopin or really in the depth of our soul We are one and if that is my great inspiration I will draw to myself that which I've assumed that I want to do If I want to be as great as he and he is great in my mind's eye. I'll draw him as an instructor But if it's myself being instructed, I am instructing myself the whole thing takes place within us All things exist in the human imagination all that you behold Though it appears without it is within in your imagination of which this world of mortality is but a shadow Blake Jerusalem plate 71 so take anything you want now as an image assume that you are it and Then know it must come forward in the world of shadows You appropriate it. So let me repeat What to me prayer is Prayer is your own wonderful human imagination Drenched with feeling just as Joseph drenched himself with the feeling that he had it I can take story after story where you drench yourself with the feeling of having it whether it be a wedding ring Whether it be a change of name, which you would imply that it happened I don't care what it is But if you're going to use reason as to why it can't happen it just couldn't possibly happen not to me Well, then it can't happen May I tell you for that's your image? You don't realize that you have two and the one that is really deeper is the one that tells you it can't happen But no real belief can be suppressed not for long. It must that inward conviction must find some external objective Limitation it must so which is tonight your deep conviction that you are a failure or that you are a success It's entirely up to you for that deep inner conviction cannot long be suppressed can't be done Now what is the inward conviction in the hearts of all of us here? What is the true image that you believe yourself to be if you believe that the headlines tell you tonight? May I tell you they thrive on crises? There are people in the business who only write headlines and they'll be fired tomorrow if they don't scare you to death tonight They've got to frighten you. I don't care. What news is good today? They'll put it on the 10th page But some little insignificant thing they'll put it on the first page if it can scare you And the most exciting thing tonight our boys are on the way to the moon This is great test the first day. They went off. It was on the first page, but a small little item and Took the whole thing Now, how can that compare to our boys going off to the moon today? They got the front page Well, see what happens tomorrow. I do not know. I haven't seen the paper See what happens tomorrow. There's a violent something in our area. That's going to get the headlines So the headline writer only writes crisis after crisis ignore it all and remain faithful to your image What do you really want in this world? Don't tell me it's going to be difficult for you because if you tell me that right away you put the whole blocks before you Can you believe all things are possible to God? No one in this world would have given one nickel a bet Upon the speaker if when I left the little island of Barbados at the age of 17 I had voiced a request to be a minister of the Word of God Unschooled as I was and Remained unschooled in a formal sense of the word and that I could actually become a minister of the word not because I learned it from a man Not because I read it in any book, but because it was revealed to me It was my one consuming desire to have a true vision where if a man becomes what he beholds I wanted my vision to be true And I didn't want it to be a false Even if it was given to me by some huge big giant of a person With all the degrees behind his name because all these Could be just as false as anything in the world. So I wanted a true vision For if it is true that a man becomes what he beholds Well, then I wanted to behold truth so that I would become True and what I had to say, well, I didn't get it from anyone I simply insisted that I would have it revealed to me and it did it came all revealed So when I tell you of David you won't find it in any book there isn't a book printed where it is actually printed I do not know of any when I speak to rabbis ministers all these priests They shun it because it is not what they were taught. They bring their own Prefabricated misconception of scripture to scripture and I'm trying to show them exactly where it is Not because it's there that I had it I had it first and then I read the scripture more intelligently and found the confirmation So I am a witness to the truth of God's Word. I only wanted the truth I didn't care where I got it, but I got it as Paul did he said it did not come from a man Nor was I taught it by men but it came through revelation the unveiling of God within me and He unveiled himself in me when I was confronted by the risen Lord and then the whole series began to unfold within me So tonight don't neglect Caesars world. You are in it. You have to pay rent You have to buy food and everything is being inflated. So don't neglect it here Don't let anyone tell you that this is sorted. You've got to do it. You're in the world of Caesar He said whose insignia is this Caesars will render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars Matthew 22 21 so he wants a gold coin fish and When you bring the fish take from his mouth a gold coin and give it to Caesar for that Insignia is his so in the world of Caesar He paid Caesar and when people tell you he got the truth out of the air Forget that concept of Jesus forget it completely He didn't bring anything out of any air whatsoever the man in whom this thing awoke Worked and labored as you do as I do and if you think I'm being foolish about it Read the first two verses of the eighth chapter of the book of Luke where he was supported by women and they named By name three women now the modern translation says they implying disciples Also, it doesn't say that in the original text It only speaks of the singular the one person spoken of as the Lord He received from these three women from their own substance. They supported him Well, Paul said I will not have anyone support me So when Paul began to tell it as it unfolded in him He said I earned my own bread And although it is the workman's part to receive part of what is earned by those that he teaches I still will earn my own bread That was what Paul set himself to do So he didn't get any bread out of the atmosphere or do all these silly things that you're talking about No he went out and labored just as a Man knowing what happened in him and trying to persuade everyone who would hear him of the destiny that is theirs That one day they will awaken and when they awaken they are God and all that is said of God in the Gospels they will experience as Something that is personal very personal. So I am telling you what I know from experience. I'm not theorizing I'm not speculating. I hope you believe me when I depart this world you will not soon forget it because you will depart one day and Until it happens You'll be restored in a world just like this and you'll continue to struggle until the image is formed in you But may I tell you you haven't wavered in the forming of that image. You may think you have but not the depth of your own being for the depth of your own being and My being are one and that depth that brotherhood has never once faltered We agree in the beginning to dream in concert and dream in concert We did and will continue to do until the image is formed in each For each must reveal God and God is revealed in his image Which is David at the end of these lectures Neville would give two minutes of silence followed by questions and answers now Let us go into the silence Now are there any questions, please Question inaudible Neville says did you hear the question? Would I comment on what happens to us when we take off this physical envelope I find myself often in a world just like this meeting those that the world calls dead and they aren't dead they're just as alive as They were here only they're young. They're not infants. They are young The world is terrestrial and they are solid bodies of flesh and blood They get married there too as they get married here They look forward to the inevitable death there as they look forward here with the same sense of fear They do not realize that they have even died. I'll give you one interesting story I have a sister-in-law pillar of the church in New Jersey, and she always said to me I don't believe one word you teach I said, all right That's perfect. All right with me. She said I love you dearly because you love my sister You're a good husband and a good father and for that I love you But I do not believe one word you teach and so every Sunday morning regardless of whether she was in church That was something she had to do. Well my secretary the first year I came out here the year was 1945 I think it was the first year or the second year. I'm not quite sure but soon after I came out that is At the end of my three-month tour. I went to San Francisco for a month Then came here for two months and just before I closed I got a wire that my secretary was found dead He was only 50 years old not quite going on his 50th birthday And a hot summer night and the maid went to his room to clean it up and there was Jackie propping The door with his fallen body. So when they finally got to him, he'd been gone about 12 hours I went back and attended the funeral and took care of arrangements for the funeral six months after he was gone I'm out in this world that they call the world of a dream. I'm there consciously as I am here now I knew exactly where my body was that I left in this world and I know where I am now And here is Jack and here's my sister-in-law out. I said thou how how can you say that? You do not believe what I teach and do not believe in survival for she did not believe in survival She thought we survived only through our children. I said look at Jack. She said to me. What is Jack to do with it? I said, don't you know Jack died and Jack said to me who's dead? I said you're not dead Jack, but you are dead. I Came back from California and attended your funeral and I buried you in a good Catholic cemetery in Haverstraw, New York The priest was there you got holy water on you You had all the stuff that your sister wanted and so you were buried in a good Catholic grave He looked at me bewildered. I said, yes, you died last August Al knows I'm telling the truth and now looked at him and looked at me and her face is completely bewildered For she knows that I came back to attend the funeral and she knows that Jack is now alive and Standing before both of us and Jack is talking to me. I said Jack come over here He came over to me. I took my hand and I put it on his thigh and I said Al look He saw it. My hand does not go through him like some gossamer. He saw it and he's real Jack did to me there what he would have done here. We were like brothers He was my secretary, but we're not boss and secretary we were just like brothers we dine together six days a week He was at my home every day and he was always my guest for dinner He did this and said get your hands off me Just as he would have done had I done it here So that was Jack with that the whole scene changed from then on I was never quite as forceful about what I teach She was never quite as denying. She hasn't completely come forward in this world of ours It takes a while to come through this concrete mind of ours, but she had this experience subjectively Therefore it will gradually influence her and it will come through slowly into this conscious mind of hers But here was Jack He was just as real as he was When he was here only he was young and she knew he was Jack Although she never saw Jack when he was that young Jack died white hair He had a massive white hair, but Jack had white hair when he was 18 lots of hair But it turned white as a young man. Here's Jack and this young fella when I first met him He looked like that. He could have been say 23 22 and here was out She knows that he died and she knows I'm telling the truth But I was the only one fully aware because Jack was not aware He had even died because if you die we die because you find us we are living in worlds within worlds within worlds nothing dies Not even the little flower that blooms once if it blooms once it blooms forever all everything is alive But this still is a world of death. So yeah, this was another absolute banger of a lecture by Neville Goddard We have some interesting stories the story he tells of Joseph in this particular story. You get someone that is in Desperate poverty that imagines that the person is changing the money at the bank counter makes a mistake And then they make a mistake He's brought up this story once before and the idea is that This questions your ethical code what he did was wrong, but the imagination doesn't judge it Grants you whatever you imagine Taking this same idea. This person always has his bills paid Imagines writing a letter to thank the person for the payment of whatever loan that they might have and it works So if you have somebody right now in your life that owes you money Imagine writing them a text an email or letter that says thank you for paying everything back. I really appreciate it See what happens. It's a very simple technique. If you have money that's owed to you God is the great artist the great artist that has created this play and this illusion That's what he is saying repeatedly throughout this Neville explains that we become enslaved to this deadly dream for a reason. It's a sacrifice. It's what we're giving up and in result we see God become outpictured within ourselves the biggest thing to take from this is That you can make your wish and all things are possible. Let no one tell you what you ought to be But no one tell you what you should be You imagine what it is that you wish to be and you believe it as if it is in this moment For that is what prayer truly is as he explains prayer is the imagination drenched with feeling you can imagine With your feelings added on top of it, then you are truly praying for the things that you want Once again, we get another interesting discussion of Neville's concept of the afterlife Claiming that when we die, we go into an entirely other world that we don't know that we're dead in I've talked about this on several other episodes. We do not know that we are dead. We live our life We find love We may divorce whatever happens. It's a normal life We are not aware of it and each time we die we end up in another world completely repeating this cycle the sequence Until God awakens within us and it is implied in this lecture that we in our own imagining bring this about We make it our goal We set our vision on having a true vision and having a true realization from God We imagine it happening to us. We bring it about through our own imagining and when this happens, then we escape from this eternal recurrence that he's talking about where we eternally recur and Relive our lives over and over again or in some cases we go to the year 3000 Everything in time-space as he explains is laid out and it's already done and we end up in different moments in time-space that work To bring God out from us you can find all episodes of the reality revolution at the reality revolution calm and Welcome to the reality revolution
