I Am Called by Thy Name, O Lord: The Power of Knowing Who You Are – A Neville Goddard Lecture on Spiritual Awakening

In this lecture, Neville Goddard explores the profound meaning of Jeremiah 15:16: "Thy words were found, and I ate them, and thy words became to me the joy and delight of my heart; for I am called by Thy name, O Lord, God of hosts."Neville explains that to "eat" God's words means to assimilate and embody them, transforming one's entire understanding of reality. Once fully absorbed, these words reveal a staggering truth: you are God in human form—the creator of all things.Key Themes:The Power of God's Name – "I AM"God's name is not a word to be recited but an identity to be realized: "I AM."When Moses asked for God's name, the answer was "I AM THAT I AM." (Exodus 3:14).Every time we say "I am," we invoke the creative power of God within us.The Name That Answers Every CallMany pray in the name of Jesus or Jehovah but receive no answer because they misunderstand the nature of the name.Neville clarifies that the true name of God—the only name that responds—is "I AM."Whatever we assume about ourselves using "I am," we become.The Law in Action – A Testimony of ImaginationA man from the Midwest attempted for years to help his ailing mother and brother by sending them metaphysical books, but they never read them.After learning Neville’s teachings, he stopped sending books and instead imagined holding a letter from his brother stating that both he and their mother were healthy.Within three weeks, he received the exact letter he had imagined—word for word.Imagining Creates RealityWe are not at the mercy of external conditions; rather, our inner world dictates our outer experience.If we assume something to be true and persist in the assumption, it must externalize in the world.The Revelation of Christ WithinThe Bible is not a historical account but a spiritual revelation unfolding within every individual.Christ is not a man external to us but our own divine imagination awakening within.When Christ fully awakens, we recognize our divine nature as the Father—revealed through the Son, David.The Inevitability of Spiritual AwakeningGod, having given Himself completely to man, must ultimately bring man to the realization that he is God.This revelation happens through a series of mystical experiences, culminating in the recognition of David as one's Son—confirming that the individual is the Father.Faith in Action – Living by the LawNeville urges his audience to test the Law by assuming the feeling of their wish fulfilled."Live by faith" means to assume and trust that your imaginal act will harden into fact.Conclusion:This lecture is a powerful reminder that God’s name—"I AM"—is our true identity. By consciously assuming and living from the state of our desired reality, we prove that imagining creates reality. The ultimate realization comes when we see David and recognize ourselves as the Father, fulfilling God's promise to give Himself fully to us.

A Mystical Experience – How God Became Man So Man Could Become God – A Neville Goddard Lecture on Spiritual Awakening

In A Mystical Experience, Neville Goddard explains that life is a divine play where God becomes man so that man may become God. The transformation begins with God's crucifixion in man—his descent into human consciousness—and ends with man’s resurrection as God. This mystical process unfolds through direct, personal experiences, not external teachings. The Bible is a symbolic revelation of this journey, culminating in the birth of Christ within. Neville shares his personal mystical experiences of being "born from above," where he emerges from his skull and witnesses the birth of a divine child. He later encounters the biblical David, recognizing him as his own son, proving his identity as God the Father. These experiences affirm that man’s destiny is to awaken as God through the fulfillment of scriptural prophecy.Key Concepts & ApplicationLife is a Divine Play → God becomes man so that man may awaken as God.Imagination is God → Your imagination is the divine power that creates reality.Crucifixion and Resurrection → The journey of spiritual awakening begins with God "dying" in man and ends with man realizing his divinity.The Birth from Above → The spiritual birth occurs within the individual, signified by the emergence of the Christ child.Biblical Symbols are Personal Experiences → The stories in the Bible are mystical events that unfold within you.Recognition of David → Seeing David as one’s son signifies realizing oneself as God the Father.Test the Truth → Through inner experience, not external doctrine, one comes to know their divine nature.

The Pure in Heart – How Life’s Tests Purify You for Spiritual Transformation – A Neville Goddard Lecture on the Furnace of Experience

In this lecture, The Pure in Heart, Neville explores the true meaning of the sixth Beatitude: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” He clarifies that purity of heart is not about moral or sexual purity but about being free from deceit, particularly deception for personal gain. The pure in heart are those who are incapable of guile, who never manipulate, lie, or exploit others to serve their own interests.Neville explains that life is a process of refining the soul, symbolized as gold, through the furnaces of experience. These trials are meant to burn away all deception until what remains is pure gold—represented by David, the biblical symbol of a heart perfectly aligned with God. When a person reaches this state, they are spiritually prepared to ascend and stand in God’s presence. At that moment, they receive the divine imprint and awaken to their true identity as God.He emphasizes that this process is inevitable for everyone. No one escapes the trials, and all will eventually be purified. The ultimate test is whether, even in moments of extreme hardship, one remains honest and guileless rather than seeking advantage at another’s expense. When this purity is achieved, the individual is revealed as Jesse—the "I AM"—and recognizes their divine nature.Key Takeaways for Application:Purity of Heart Means Freedom from Deception – Being pure in heart does not mean moral perfection but a total absence of guile. Never deceive others for personal gain.Life’s Trials Are Refining You – Every hardship is a furnace designed to burn away deceit and refine your soul into pure gold, preparing you for divine awakening.The Key to Seeing God Is Guilelessness – Only those who are completely honest in their intentions and incapable of manipulation can stand in God’s presence and receive divine revelation.David Represents the Purified Soul – The biblical David is symbolic of the perfected heart, and once this purity is achieved, the divine imprint is made upon you.God’s Presence Is Within You – The moment you become pure in heart, you will experience the presence of God and awaken to the realization that you are one with Him.No One Fails This Journey – Regardless of where you are in life, you are being shaped and tested until you reach purity. Everyone will ultimately pass through this process and awaken.Your “I AM” is Jesse, the Source of Your Being – The realization of your divine nature comes when you understand that Jesse (I AM) is the father of David (your purified soul), completing your transformation into God.Remain Honest Even in Hardship – No matter how difficult life becomes, resist the temptation to deceive others for survival or gain. Holding to integrity is the final test before awakening.By applying these principles, you align yourself with the spiritual process that leads to divine realization and the fulfillment of the Beatitude: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”

Fawcett's Letter – Why Imagination is God – A Neville Goddard Lecture on Divine Consciousness

In this lecture, Neville Goddard explores the concept of Imaginism, emphasizing that imagination is the supreme power that creates and sustains the universe. He asserts that man is all imagination and that God exists within every individual. Neville discusses the importance of revising past events, the role of vision in awakening, and the necessity of breaking down mental structures that hinder spiritual growth. He references Douglas Fawcett, a philosopher who arrived at Imaginism after eliminating other ideas, supporting Neville's teachings on the transformative power of imagination. Neville encourages individuals to reshape their realities through imagination, overcome reason, and awaken to their divine nature.Key Takeaways:Imagination is SupremeThe universe and man are created and sustained by imagination, which Neville equates with God.To awaken spiritually, one must fully grasp their own invisibility as pure imagination.Destruction of Mental StructuresThe Bible's message of buildings falling refers not to physical structures but to mental constructs.Long-standing beliefs, teachings, and doctrines must collapse individually for true awakening to occur.Revision as a Spiritual PracticePast events can be revised through imagination, which leads to a transformation of present and future reality.Neville refers to Fawcett’s validation of revision as knowledge coming from the Divine Society—a higher realm of awakened individuals.Speaking with AuthorityTrue teachers of imagination speak with conviction because they have experienced the truth.Neville emphasizes that those who truly understand Imaginism do not merely repeat others' words but speak from direct experience.Overcoming Reason and Living in ImaginationThe ‘specter of reason’ stands between man and his true self, preventing him from accepting imagination as reality.Man must cast reason aside and fully immerse himself in his imagined world to transform his reality.Individual AwakeningAwakening does not happen collectively but individually, as each person breaks free from conditioned thinking.Every individual will eventually awaken to their divine nature, as God’s plan ensures that no one is lost.Grace and Effort90% of awakening is by grace, and only 10% is by effort.While effort is necessary, the vast majority of transformation is a divine gift.Faith in the Creative Power of ImaginationNeville urges his audience to live nobly, remain faithful to their dreams, and continuously create new realities rather than becoming attached to their past creations.The Role of Vision in Spiritual GrowthVisions serve as signposts of one's spiritual progress, confirming the truth of scriptural revelations.True visions, not mental conjecture, are what remain after all false structures collapse.Fire of ExperienceThis world is a purifying fire, and life is a journey through experience, ultimately leading to spiritual rebirth.Every individual will emerge from this fire transformed, returning to their divine nature.Conclusion:Neville Goddard’s Fawcett’s Letter reinforces the foundational belief that imagination is God and that awakening requires the destruction of mental constructs, acceptance of vision, and the practice of revising one’s past experiences. He encourages individuals to break free from reason, trust in their imagination, and embrace the divine journey toward self-realization. By doing so, man will ultimately rediscover his true identity as God.
