In this lecture, The Story of Judas, Neville Goddard explores the profound and misunderstood role of Judas in the divine play of life. He explains that the Bible is not a historical record but a spiritual allegory, where every character represents a state of consciousness. Judas is not a villain but a crucial figure whose role is to reveal the truth—betraying Christ, which symbolizes unveiling the identity of God as human imagination.Neville emphasizes that only one who truly knows Christ can "betray" him, meaning that Judas represents the final stage before awakening. When an individual realizes that imagination creates reality and shares this knowledge, they play the role of Judas. However, they may initially regret revealing the secret when they see how it is misunderstood or misused, just as Judas repented in scripture. This moment of concern is part of the process, but it does not negate the necessity of playing the role.The crucifixion and resurrection are not historical events but shifts in consciousness. Jesus represents the one who awakens to their divine nature, and Judas initiates that awakening by forcing them to confront their true identity. Once a person fully accepts that imagination is the source of all creation, they must die to their previous beliefs in external causation. This symbolic "suicide" represents the death of the old self and the birth of divine awareness.Neville asserts that life is a grand play, and every person moves through various roles, eventually embodying Judas before fully awakening as Christ. The lesson is to embrace the truth of imagination as the only creative power, use it consciously, and accept that revealing this knowledge is a necessary step toward spiritual realization. By doing so, one gains the ultimate freedom: the ability to shape reality through thought and faith in imagination as God.

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.

In The Foundation Stone: Imagination, Neville Goddard teaches that imagination is the foundation of reality. He explains that the universe responds to our imaginative acts, and nothing exists independently of perception. The Bible’s "foundation stone" symbolizes imagination, which many reject, yet it is the true creative power. Using Peter's story, Neville illustrates how belief wavers when people turn to external efforts instead of trusting imagination. He emphasizes the importance of unwavering faith, patience, and detachment from the "how" of manifestation. Through real-life examples, he shows how persistence in imagination leads to success in unexpected ways.Key Concepts & ApplicationImagination is the Creative Power → Everything in your life is a reflection of your imagination.Remain Faithful to Your Assumption → Once you imagine a desired outcome, do not doubt or try to force it externally.The Universe Responds → What you vividly assume as true will manifest in ways you cannot predict.Rejection of the "Stone" → Many ignore imagination’s power and instead rely on external effort.Patience is Key → Some manifestations take time; do not waver or react negatively if results aren’t immediate.All is Connected → Your thoughts and emotions influence others, shaping reality beyond your awareness.

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.

In this profound lecture, Neville Goddard explores Ecclesiastes 3:11—"God has put eternity into the mind of man, yet so that man cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end." This mysterious verse serves as the foundation for a deep exploration of the nature of reality, time, and man's journey toward awakening as God.Key Themes:Eternity as a Compressed Block of TimeNeville explains that, in the Hebrew mind, eternity (olam) is a fusion of all generations of man and their experiences—like a compressed block of time containing all possible events. Creation is not about inventing new things but selecting from this pre-existing storehouse.The Illusion of Vanity and RecurrenceEcclesiastes portrays life as vanity—success, wisdom, and wealth all fade, and history repeats itself endlessly. This cycle of recurrence suggests that life is an ongoing dream, repeating patterns from this eternal block of time. However, something hidden within man is waiting to break this cycle.The Hidden Mystery: The Birth of Christ WithinThe hidden element (olam) in man's mind is Christ, who will one day be revealed from within. This is the mystery the prophets searched for but could not see. The culmination of man's journey is when David, personifying humanity, appears and calls him Father—confirming that he is Christ, the Son of God.The Personifications of God and HumanityJesus Christ is the personification of God—the fullness of divinity.David represents collective humanity—God’s beloved son.When David appears to an individual, it signifies that they have awakened to their true identity as God.Imagination as the Key to TransformationNeville emphasizes that reality is shaped by imagination. Everything exists within this eternal block, and by assuming a new state of consciousness, man can manifest any desired reality. Just as God "wears" man, we must "wear" the states we wish to experience.The Nature of Spiritual AwakeningThe journey to awakening is not about reincarnation but the emergence of Christ from within. Neville explains that death does not transform a person—only the spiritual birth, the resurrection within, leads to true transformation. When this occurs, one steps out of the dream of life into divine awareness.The Second Youth Who Rules Over AllNeville references Ecclesiastes 4:15-16, where a second youth rises to power and rules over all. This second youth is Christ emerging from humanity, proving that God has embedded eternity within us, waiting for the appointed time to reveal itself.Conclusion:Neville reveals that eternity is within us, but hidden from our perception until we awaken as Christ. The life we experience is a selection from an eternal, pre-existing reality, and we have the power to shape it through imagination. The ultimate realization comes when David appears, affirming our divine nature. Until then, we are called to consciously assume noble states and trust in the unfolding of God's plan within us.

In this profound lecture, Neville Goddard explores the divine process of shaping the "unbegotten"—the transformation of man into the image of God. He draws from the Bible, emphasizing that God's purpose is to make man in His likeness, as stated in Genesis: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."Key Themes:The Divine Decision & The Oneness of GodNeville begins by examining the phrase "Let us make man in our image," questioning who "us" refers to. He explains that God is a compound unity—one made up of many—which is revealed in the Shema: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One." This oneness is the foundation of the shaping process.Neville’s Vision of the Oak Tree and the SerpentHe shares a vivid spiritual experience in which he sees a majestic man under an oak tree, representing divine courage and faith in God's promise. In the tree, he observes a serpent with a human face, embodying wisdom and power. This vision leads him to deeper insights into the biblical role of the serpent—not as a symbol of evil, but as a divine agent in man's transformation.The Paradox of the Serpent as Both the Fall and the SaviorNeville challenges traditional interpretations, suggesting that the serpent, often linked to man's fall, is actually Christ, the redeemer. He references Romans 11:32: "For God has consigned all men to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all." The so-called fall was divinely orchestrated, ensuring that man would experience the joy of redemption.The Symbolism of Abraham and IsaacHe discusses God's covenant with Abraham, the change of his name, and the promise of Isaac—a symbol of divine laughter and fulfillment. Isaac represents "the begetting of the unbegotten," the moment when the mortal man is transformed into the divine image.God Wears Man as a GarmentNeville reiterates his central teaching: God became man so that man may become God. He describes how God "clothes" Himself with human experience, just as we can clothe ourselves with new states of consciousness through imagination. The shaping process occurs as we assume the feeling of being our desired self.Entering the Eighth Day: The OgdoadHe introduces the concept of the eighth day (Ogdoad), representing the entrance into the Kingdom of God. This signifies the completion of man's transformation, when he is fully shaped into the divine image and enters eternal life.Imagination as the Shaping PowerNeville urges his listeners to exercise their divine power by imagining noble concepts of themselves, clothing themselves in success, health, and abundance. He shares a testimony of a man who proved this law by manifesting a desired object and even experiencing divine intervention while at sea.The Journey to Becoming ChristHe concludes by affirming that every person is moving toward the realization that they are Christ. Through trials and afflictions, man is refined, and when the shaping is complete, he awakens to his true identity—God Himself.Conclusion:Neville emphasizes that the shaping of the unbegotten is God's ultimate purpose. The so-called "fall" was God's deliberate plan, and the entire journey of human experience is leading to the moment when man awakens as God. Until then, we are called to live by divine law, consciously shaping ourselves through imagination, faith, and the recognition that we are one with God.

In this lecture, Neville Goddard reaffirms that the only subject he ever truly discusses is the power of imagination—which he equates with God and Jesus Christ. He asserts that man's imagination is vast enough to contain all possibilities, and that no one can experience anything unless they have first walked there in imagination.The Central Teaching: Imagination is GodNeville identifies the eternal body of man as imagination, which Scripture refers to as Jesus. He challenges traditional religious interpretations that limit Jesus to a historical figure, instead presenting him as the personification of divine creative power within every individual.He explains that nothing happens without first being imagined—consciously or unconsciously. Every event in life, from personal circumstances to world affairs, is the outpicturing of imaginal activity. Whether or not one recognizes this truth, imagination is the driving force behind all events.The Power of an Imaginal ActTo illustrate this principle, Neville shares an example of how a lawyer's imaginal act led to a significant real-world event. The lawyer passionately imagined a future scenario while defending a case, and years later, events unfolded exactly as he had foreseen. This highlights Neville's key point:The interval between the imaginal act and its realization may be longer than we remember, leading us to deny our own harvest.He warns that people often fail to recognize the connection between what they once imagined and what later manifests, leading them to dismiss imagination as the cause.Faith is Response to RevelationNeville emphasizes that faith is not about acquiring new knowledge through external means but is instead a response to revelation. The greatest revelation, he asserts, is the realization that imagination is Jesus Christ, the creative power of God.This means:Prayer is simply imagining with feeling and intensity.The Bible is a psychological drama happening within the individual, not a historical record.Accepting this truth allows one to walk "the new and living way" into the Holy of Holies—the realization of divine identity.The Inner Path to GodNeville references the Book of Hebrews (Chapter 10) to describe this new and living way, explaining that:Entry into the Holy of Holies (divine realization) is through the "blood of Jesus."The curtain that separates man from God is the "flesh of Jesus"—one’s own sense of self.Upon spiritual awakening, the individual experiences a profound inner event where the body is metaphorically "torn" and they ascend into divine realization.He describes this moment as a lightning bolt splitting the body, revealing a living, liquid gold substance—the true blood of Jesus—which then carries the individual into the Holy of Holies, their own skull, where they merge with God.The Ultimate AwakeningNeville teaches that this journey is about awakening to one’s true nature as God. He states that:Everyone will eventually experience this unveiling.It happens in stages—first through the practical use of imagination (the "law") and later through mystical experiences (the "promise").One's ability to experience divine awakening depends on how far they are willing to "walk in imagination."Key TakeawaysYour imagination is God. Everything in your world is a reflection of what you have imagined.You cannot experience what you have not first imagined. Everything unfolds from within.Faith is responding to revelation. Accepting imagination as the creative power of God leads to transformation.The "Holy of Holies" is within you. Entry into divine realization is an inner experience, not an external event.All will ultimately awaken to their divine identity. The journey may be long, but it is inevitable.Final MessageNeville urges his listeners to fully accept the power of imagination, for it is the only true path to transformation and awakening. The moment one truly understands this, they begin walking "the new and living way"—the path of realizing their own divinity.

In this lecture, Neville Goddard explores the spiritual purification process that every individual undergoes on the path to self-realization and divine awakening. He focuses on the Beatitude:“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8)This is not a metaphorical statement—it is a literal spiritual experience. To see God is to become God, for man inevitably becomes what he beholds. However, before this vision is granted, a purification must take place.Neville explains that purification is not something man can achieve on his own. Instead, God initiates and orchestrates the entire process, leading individuals into experiences that will dissolve their illusions, false beliefs, and prejudices. Every obstacle, every hardship, and every struggle in life serves to break down mental walls and unveil the truth.The Process of PurificationThe journey to purity of heart involves the dismantling of deep-seated delusions—the false assumptions that shape one's perception of the world. Neville emphasizes that these beliefs are like buildings that must be torn down. As it is written in Mark 13:2:“Not one stone will be left standing upon another that will not be thrown down.”These "buildings" represent false identities, prejudices, and limitations that keep man from recognizing his divine nature. But as each false belief crumbles, God unveils Himself.Neville references William Blake, who wrote:"What seems to be, is, to those to whom it seems to be, and is productive of the most dreadful consequences to those to whom it seems to be... but Divine Mercy steps beyond and redeems man in the body of Jesus."This means that life reflects back to us our own assumptions and beliefs, making them appear real. Yet, through divine grace, we are redeemed from these false perceptions and awakened to truth.Seeing God and Becoming One with HimThe ultimate purpose of purification is to remove all veils that separate man from his true identity. Neville explains that, at a certain stage of spiritual awakening, God lifts the veil, and man sees Him.This unveiling is not the end but an ever-expanding revelation. As Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 3:18:“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into His likeness from one degree of glory to another.”This transformation is gradual and infinite—as man purifies his heart, he beholds God more clearly, and in doing so, he becomes what he sees.How to Apply This UnderstandingNeville urges his audience to recognize that all life experiences serve a higher purpose:Every difficulty is a divine tool for transformation.What seems to be real is only a reflection of one’s own assumptions—change the assumption, and reality changes.Dare to assume the highest and noblest concept of yourself, for what seems to be, is—to those to whom it seems to be.Trust that divine mercy is always at work, leading each person toward awakening, no matter how impossible it may seem.Final Revelation: Man’s True DestinyNeville concludes by affirming that everyone will ultimately be redeemed and unveiled as God. The process of life, with all its seeming struggles and contradictions, is actually God’s plan for man’s awakening. The veil will be lifted, and every individual will recognize their divine nature.This is the great mystery—the journey from illusion to truth, from separation to oneness, from man to God.

In this lecture, Neville Goddard explores one of the deepest mystical revelations—the true nature of man as the creative womb of God. He ties together two key biblical passages: Genesis 2:21, where God puts man into a deep sleep and forms woman from him, and Isaiah 54:5, which states, "Your Maker is your husband". These scriptures, he asserts, are not myths but literal, divine experiences that each person will undergo when they awaken spiritually.Neville emphasizes that regardless of physical gender, every individual is the bride of God. The true “man” in Genesis is God Himself, and from Him emerges His emanation—the creative power of imagination—symbolized as the woman. The great mystery of existence is that God, in His sleep, is dreaming us into being, and when He awakens, we are one with Him, not separate.A central theme of the lecture is a testimony from a student who experienced a profound mystical event. This man, while in a trance-like state, discovered himself to be the womb of the universe—the very source of all creation. He perceived vortices of energy forming and densifying into reality, confirming Neville’s teaching that all imaginal acts take shape in the unseen before manifesting in the world of the senses. He also experienced an intense creative force, far beyond anything known on the physical plane, reinforcing the idea that manifestation is a spiritual act far greater than earthly procreation.Neville explains that every human is undergoing this process, even if unaware. Every thought, every imaginal act, creates a vortex that gathers density until it becomes tangible reality. The purpose of life is to awaken from this divine dream, realizing that we are both the creator and the created. He shares a technique to bring imaginal acts to life—rather than exhaling, one should inhale deeply after imagining a desire fulfilled, feeling the entire body tingle with energy, as if something has been set into motion.Ultimately, The Womb of the Universe reveals that we are in a temporary state of separation from God, but only for a brief moment (as Isaiah states). This separation will end when we give birth to the Christ child within us, which is the sign of our spiritual redemption. Neville reassures that every person will experience this, for none will be lost. The journey may seem long in earthly terms, but in the divine perspective, it is but a fleeting moment.This lecture is a powerful affirmation of the truth of scripture as a living experience. Neville urges his listeners to embrace their role as creators, to recognize that they are the very womb through which God is manifesting reality, and to prepare for the inevitable moment of awakening, when they will realize their divine nature and union with God.

In this lecture, Neville Goddard explores the profound distinction between intellectual belief and true, lived belief—which he equates with faith. He argues that real belief is not merely accepting something intellectually but experiencing it as reality. Faith, he asserts, is synonymous with imagination: what we truly believe is what we live by, and it is our imagination that brings these beliefs into external form.Neville emphasizes that belief must be fused with experience to be fully realized. Many hear spiritual truths but do not mix them with faith, leading to a lack of transformation. He encourages his audience to test the principle of assuming a desired reality, living as though it were already true, and witnessing the externalization of that assumption.Through vivid anecdotes, Neville illustrates how assumptions shape reality. He shares the story of a woman who desired to visit Egypt but had no means to do so. Years later, after maintaining her assumption, she was unexpectedly gifted an all-expenses-paid trip. Another story recounts how a writer influenced his producer’s vocabulary simply by hearing the desired response in his imagination—eventually shifting the producer’s habitual words from “good” to “terrific” and even “absolutely sensational.”Neville stresses that imagination is the creative power of God in man and that every individual must learn to assume responsibility for their inner world. He warns that when people fully grasp this power, it can be unsettling, as it implies that everything in their world is self-created. However, by mastering this principle, one can systematically reshape their reality, starting with small, tangible changes and eventually transforming their entire life.Ultimately, Our Real Beliefs teaches that faith is not passive but active—it is the art of assuming and persisting in the wish fulfilled until it becomes external fact. Neville challenges his audience to move beyond traditional religious concepts and directly experience the power of their own imagination as God.

In this powerful lecture, Neville Goddard explores the biblical concept of binding and loosing as the ability to shape reality through the power of imagination. He emphasizes that scripture is not meant to be understood literally but rather as a psychological drama unfolding within the individual.Neville explains that to bind something is to hold onto a state of being, while to loose it is to let go and assume a new reality. He connects this principle to the biblical verse, “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven. If you retain the sins of any, they are retained” (John 20:23), revealing that we have the power to transform ourselves and others by revising the past and assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled.Central to this teaching is the idea that without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin (Hebrews 9:22). Neville reinterprets this metaphorically, explaining that the "blood of Christ" represents the death of the old self—when we mentally detach from our former state and step into a new reality. The act of assuming a new identity is the psychological equivalent of shedding blood and being reborn.Neville shares practical applications of this principle, illustrating how we can revise our past, release limiting beliefs, and transform circumstances without external force. Through stories of people who changed their lives by assuming their desires as real, he demonstrates that faith in the unseen is the key to manifestation. He challenges the audience to practice this art of forgiveness and assumption, stating that imagination will do nothing for us until we assume the wish fulfilled.Ultimately, Binding and Loosing teaches that imagination is Christ in us, the power that brings all things into being. By recognizing this, we can free ourselves from the limitations of the past, transform our lives, and step into the divine authority granted to every individual.

In this lecture, Neville Goddard explores the profound statement from William Blake: “God only acts and is in all existing beings or men.” He reveals that imagination is not just a faculty of the mind but is, in fact, the very action of God. What seems impossible to man is possible with God—because God is the imagination within us.Neville illustrates this truth through a compelling story about a woman burdened for 25 years by her elderly father, who lived in her home without contributing to the household. She longed for freedom but feared that manifesting her desire might result in his death, leaving her with guilt. Her son, a student of Neville’s teachings, applied the principle of imaginal acts by assuming his mother’s joy in a new, unburdened life. Soon after, an unexpected series of events unfolded—her father caused an incident that outraged the neighbors, leading him to voluntarily move out. The manifestation occurred naturally, without harm, demonstrating that imagination reshapes reality.Neville emphasizes that all external events move under compulsion—driven by unseen imaginal acts. What we assume to be free will in our daily lives is often the fulfillment of another’s inner vision. Thus, we must learn to imagine wisely and lovingly, as imagination is the creative power of God in action.Key Takeaways:Imagination is God in action. Anything you can imagine, you can create.Faith is loyalty to unseen reality. Once an imaginal act is performed, hold it as truth.All external events are driven by inner causation. What appears as chance, fate, or opposition is actually the result of unseen assumptions.You do not need to manipulate physical reality. Trust the unseen forces at work—imagination has its own means of fulfillment.Forgiveness comes through understanding. Those who seem to oppose you are often playing a necessary role in bringing about your manifestation.The ‘dweller on the threshold’ must be faced. Neville shares a mystical experience of encountering a monstrous being—his own past misused energies—that dissolved upon his decision to redeem it.Neville concludes by affirming that when we accept imagination as God and act with faith, we align with divine power. Everything is possible, and the only requirement is belief in the reality of the imaginal act.Now, let us go into the silence.

Neville Goddard continues his personal revelations, sharing a second mystical vision that took place 24 days after his first vision of the birth of Christ within. He emphasizes that the Bible is not a historical record but a series of spiritual visions unfolding within each individual. The stories of scripture are not about events that happened thousands of years ago, but experiences that take place inside the human imagination as part of the process of awakening to God-consciousness.His second vision parallels the biblical account of the death of Herod, which symbolizes the death of the ego-self—the old identity rooted in form and external reality. In his vision, Neville sees himself seated at a table with friends. As he rises, his physical body collapses, lifeless. A manservant then ties up his body like a piece of meat, confirming that he has died to the old self.This marks the necessary death of form, the surrender of the false identity that clings to the external world. Only after Herod dies does the Christ child return from Egypt—meaning that once the old self dissolves, the spiritual self emerges.However, the vision warns that another challenge arises: Herod’s son, Archelaus, takes his place. This represents the temptation to replace one illusion with another—seeking power, recognition, or attaching oneself to institutions, beliefs, or systems for security. Instead, the Christ child is taken to Nazareth, meaning he is “separated.” This is not about physical separation from others but a detachment from reliance on external forms and worldly identities.Blake’s poem The Lamb is referenced to illustrate that the true Christ is not a physical person but a state of consciousness. The lamb symbolizes the innocence and faith required to let go of the visible world and trust the unseen reality within. Neville stresses that faith is the key to preparing for spiritual birth—living by inner conviction rather than external appearances.Neville also reminds us that everything we experience in life is a reflection of imagination. He shares the story of a young lawyer who attended his lectures and used this principle to imagine himself in control of a multimillion-dollar corporation. Within six months, he had achieved his goal. However, Neville warns that many forget how they manifested their success, returning to a state of forgetfulness and attachment to external things.The real awakening begins when one realizes that they are not just shaping their personal world but that the entire world is within them. As the second vision unfolds, it reveals that all of life is taking place inside imagination—the world of effects is merely a shadow of the unseen.The journey continues beyond this second vision. Herod must die, but other challenges will follow. The process of spiritual awakening unfolds in stages, each vision leading to the next. Ultimately, Christ is born from within and recognized as the self. This is the path of dying to the old identity and awakening as God.Key TakeawaysThe Bible is not historical, but a series of visions that unfold within every individual.Herod’s death symbolizes the death of the ego-self—the false identity attached to external forms.The Christ child is taken to Nazareth, meaning separation from worldly attachments and faith in the unseen.Faith is the key to spiritual awakening—living as if the unseen reality is true.Imagination creates reality—everything in the external world is a projection of inner consciousness.Success comes from inner conviction, not external effort—but many forget the power of imagination once they achieve their desires.The journey does not end with the birth of Christ—the ego resists surrender, and new challenges arise before full awakening.Spiritual awakening happens in stages, moving from form to formlessness, from illusion to truth, from separation to unity.You are not in the world—the world is within you.This lecture is a powerful reminder that the journey of awakening is ongoing. It is not enough to recognize the Christ within once—we must continue to live by faith, detach from illusions, and trust the unseen reality that is forming within us.

In this lecture, Neville Goddard shares a profound mystical experience that forever changes his understanding of scripture. He describes how, on the morning of July 20, 1959, in San Francisco, he experienced what he now knows to be the true birth of Christ—not as a historical event, but as a personal, spiritual awakening that happens within every individual.Neville recounts how he felt an intense vibration at the base of his skull, an overwhelming force that seemed to pull him out of his body. As he emerged, he found himself outside of his physical form, observing his own body in bed. In place of his body, his three oldest brothers appeared, bewildered by a new presence in the room. His doctor brother was the first to recognize it: "It’s Neville’s baby." He lifted the child, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and as he held it in his arms, it smiled at him. In that moment, Neville understood that this was the birth of Christ—not in the world, but in him.This revelation brings him face to face with the true meaning of Isaiah’s prophecy: "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given." The birth of Christ is not something that happened two thousand years ago; it is an unfolding event within the individual. Every person will, in their own time, experience this inner birth. Mary, the virgin mother, is not a single historical figure—Mary is the soul of every man and woman in the world. This birth is not from physical generation but from above, through the Spirit.Neville explains that until this experience, he had only heard of these truths, but now he has seen them. He references Job 42:5: "I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth Thee." It is one thing to understand scripture intellectually, but another to live it as one’s own experience. He now knows, beyond all doubt, that the stories of the Bible are not historical records but eternal spiritual truths that unfold within every person.The idea that one must be “born again” is central to this mystery. He recalls Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus, where Nicodemus asks how a man can be born again when he is old. Jesus tells him that unless one is born from above, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. This new birth is not of flesh but of spirit, and it comes unexpectedly, like a thief in the night.Neville emphasizes that this experience does not come through religious practices, moral virtue, or physical discipline. No amount of prayer, fasting, or effort can bring it about—it happens in its own time. It is not about being “worthy” in the way religion teaches. Even the greatest sinner will experience it, for it is God’s plan for all.His brothers, representing worldly wisdom, could not comprehend what had happened. They saw only the child but could not see him. This is symbolic of how the world fails to recognize the inner mystery of Christ. The spiritual birth is invisible to those who have not yet experienced it.This revelation also clarifies the true meaning of fatherhood. The birth of the child proves that he is the father. If he holds the child and knows it is his, then he is the father of Christ. But if Neville is the father of Christ, then who is Neville? The only answer is that he is God the Father. This is the shocking truth hidden within scripture: God became man so that man may awaken as God.This vision also reaffirms the fundamental teaching Neville has always emphasized: Imagination is God. The entire world, the entire experience of life, is unfolding within the divine imagination of man. The Bible is not an outdated book—it is the eternal story of spiritual awakening, unfolding anew in every generation.Neville warns that many will dismiss this teaching, just as they dismissed Blake’s vision of a child emerging from a man’s skull. But he now knows, with absolute certainty, that Blake was right. Christ is not something to be worshipped externally but something to be realized within.At the end of the lecture, Neville urges his audience to prepare—not by seeking external signs, but by living in faith. If one’s faith is based on things seen, then one is not preparing the way. True faith is believing in what the world cannot yet see. The birth of Christ comes only when the individual no longer seeks confirmation in the outer world but trusts the unseen reality within.Key TakeawaysThe birth of Christ is an inner event, not a historical occurrence. Every individual will experience it in their own time.The prophecy "Unto us a child is born" refers to you—you will give birth to Christ within yourself.The physical mother, Mary, is a symbol—every person is the virgin through whom Christ is born.Christ’s birth is not a reward for moral behavior—it happens regardless of one’s past actions.The Bible is not a history book but a spiritual guide to awakening.Imagination is God—the creative power within each person is the divine itself.This birth comes unexpectedly, like a thief in the night—it cannot be forced through religious rituals or effort.The world will not recognize this inner birth, just as Neville’s brothers could not see him, only the child.If you experience yourself as the father of Christ, then you are God the Father—the mystery hidden in scripture.Faith must be based on the unseen—true preparation for this birth is trusting what the outer senses cannot confirm.This lecture is one of Neville’s most profound revelations. It is no longer about simply using imagination to manifest desires—this is the ultimate realization of self. It is the moment when man knows he is God.

In The Seven Eyes of God, Neville Goddard explores a mystical interpretation of Zechariah’s vision of a stone with seven facets, representing the seven stages of divine sight within man. These "eyes" symbolize the progressive levels of consciousness through which man perceives reality—leading ultimately to spiritual awakening.He explains that the eighth, hidden eye represents the final awakening of the divine imagination, the moment when man truly sees as God sees and recognizes all things as states of consciousness rather than external realities.The Seven Eyes of God – The Evolution of VisionLucifer – The Fallen LightThe first stage of perception is Lucifer, the morning star, symbolizing man's fall into material consciousness.This is where man sees himself as separate from God, unaware that he is the creator of his world.Moloch – The God of SacrificeIn this stage, man believes he must sacrifice and suffer to appease an external deity.This is the eye of fear, where people believe suffering earns divine favor.Wars, religious persecution, and self-denial arise from this false perception.Elohim – The Worship of External GodsHere, man attributes power to external forces—stars, planets, and unseen cosmic forces.He believes his destiny is determined outside of himself rather than by his own imagination and assumption.Shaddai – The Almighty PowerIn this stage, man places faith in governments, financial institutions, and social structures for security.He trusts in the strength of rulers and external systems, believing they will provide stability.Pahath – The Snare of MaterialismHere, man traps others for personal gain, using deception and manipulation.This is the eye of commercialism, advertising, and political schemes—a world where power is exercised through control.Jehovah – The Realization of "I AM"At this level, man recognizes that reality is shaped by his inner world.He understands that assumption and belief create his circumstances.Instead of manipulating others, he boldly asserts his desires and creates his world from within.Jesus – The Eye of Redemption and SacrificeThis is the state where man no longer seeks only for himself but gives freely to others.He recognizes that every person is just in a state, not to be condemned but lifted through imagination.He saves others by seeing them as already fulfilled in their desires.The Hidden Eighth Eye – The Final AwakeningThough the Bible only explicitly mentions seven eyes, there is an eighth eye, veiled in mystery.The eighth eye is the true vision of God, which opens when the seventh eye (Jesus) is fully clarified.It is described in symbolic terms as circumcision—not of the flesh, but of consciousness, unveiling the divine imagination.When this eye opens, man is no longer bound by the five senses, and he sees the world as it truly is—perfect and eternal.The Western Gate – How to Enter the World of VisionNeville shares an experience of awakening in another world by holding onto an object in a dream and waking up in that reality.He teaches that whatever you hold onto in imagination becomes real in your world.This is the Western Gate, tied to the sense of touch, symbolizing our ability to persist in an imagined reality until it solidifies.Practical Application – How to Use the Sixth and Seventh EyesChoose a desire you wish to manifest.Live in the feeling of already having it. Assume it is yours.Touch it in your imagination. Feel it as real, as Neville did when he held onto an object in his dream.Remain faithful to this assumption, despite outer appearances.Watch as your world reshapes itself to reflect your inner reality.The Key to Seeing Through the Eighth EyeThe eighth eye does not open through rituals, religion, or effort, but through selfless love and vision.When you see only the good in others and lift them up, you prepare yourself for the final awakening.The second coming of Jesus is not an external event—it is the moment you awaken to the full realization that you and the Father are one.Final Thoughts – Awakening the Eyes of GodNeville teaches that every belief, condition, and limitation is just a state that man has fallen into. No one is truly lost.You have worshipped false gods (Moloch, Shaddai, Elohim).You have been trapped by materialism (Pahath).You have sought security in external forces rather than your own imagination.But now, you see through the eye of Jesus, and soon, the eighth eye will open.When it does, you will see only beauty, perfection, and wholeness in all things. You will understand that:"God became man so that man may become God."Now, let us go into the silence.

In Release Barabbas and Crucify Jesus, Neville Goddard explores the deeper, mystical meaning behind the biblical story of Barabbas and Jesus. He explains that these figures are not historical characters but represent psychological states within every individual. Barabbas symbolizes doubt, limitation, and the mental thief that robs us of our desires, while Jesus represents faith, imagination, and the power to manifest our highest aspirations.Neville asserts that crucifixion is not a historical event from 2,000 years ago but an eternal and ongoing process within every person. Every time we deny our imagination’s power and give in to limitation, we "release Barabbas." When we live in the assumption of our wish fulfilled, we "crucify Jesus," fixing the desired state into our consciousness until it resurrects into reality.Key Teachings1. The Meaning of Barabbas and Jesus in YouThe crowd choosing between Barabbas and Jesus is an allegory for an inner psychological struggle.Barabbas (the robber) = Doubt, limitation, fear, and belief in external circumstances.Jesus (the savior) = Faith, imagination, and the ability to assume and manifest desires.Every time you say, "I can’t," or "It’s impossible," you are releasing Barabbas—allowing doubt to take control.To crucify Jesus means to fix your assumption of the wish fulfilled so firmly that it becomes real.2. The Crucifixion is a Continuous ProcessThe crucifixion and resurrection are not historical events; they happen in every moment of your life.Every time you persist in a desired state despite external evidence, you are going through a spiritual crucifixion.Every dream you hold must be fixed in consciousness (crucified) before it can resurrect into reality.3. The Resurrection Must Be a Living TruthSome people believe the resurrection is a past event, but Neville warns that this is a departure from truth.The true resurrection is the constant realization of desires, proving that imagination creates reality.To say that resurrection is already over is to deny your creative power—the ability to transform your life.4. The Law in Action: A Case Study in ManifestationNeville shares a real-life story of a woman who applied his teachings to manifest her ideal husband:A woman had been divorced for 19 years and believed she would never marry again.She was also in deep financial trouble and unable to send her son to college.A friend, familiar with Neville’s teachings, guided her through the imaginal act every night.Together, they imagined the wedding ceremony, feeling the ring on her finger and hearing the words of marriage vows.They persisted for a month, despite external circumstances showing no change.Within weeks, she met a man who checked every box of her ideal qualities.He told her he would never marry again, but she refused to accept that statement as truth.They were married within three months, and he paid for her son’s college education.This story demonstrates how living in the end dissolves all obstacles—even when logic says something is impossible.5. The Power of Assumption and FaithWhat you assume persists until external reality conforms to it.Barabbas (doubt) must be released so that Jesus (faith) can be crucified and resurrected in your world.Do not look for proof in the outside world. The external follows the internal, not the other way around.Just as Tesla saw his inventions working in imagination before bringing them to life, we must mentally live in our desired reality first.6. Forgiveness is Changing Your AssumptionForgiveness is not about words; it is about changing your perception of reality.If someone is sick, you must forgive them by seeing them healthy.If someone is struggling, you must forgive them by imagining them thriving.Forgiveness means accepting a new reality—one aligned with your desired state.7. Creation is Already Finished—You Are Simply Selecting RealityEverything already exists—we are just selecting which version of reality to experience.The universe is like an infinite alphabet—you decide how to arrange the letters to create your life’s story.If you want wealth, love, success, or health, you must step into the version of yourself who already has it.Practical ApplicationIdentify Barabbas in Your Life – What thoughts are robbing you of your desires? Fear? Doubt? "Logical" reasons why something can’t happen?Release Barabbas – Let go of limiting beliefs and excuses. Stop entertaining thoughts that deny your power.Crucify Jesus – Assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled and persist in it, even when reality contradicts it.Live in the End – Feel, see, and mentally dwell in the state of having what you desire.Forgive Through Imagination – Change your perception of people and circumstances by imagining them as you want them to be.Persist Until Resurrection – Do not waver. Your assumption must become so natural that it hardens into fact.Final MessageNeville reminds us that every moment is an opportunity for resurrection. We must actively choose faith over doubt, assumption over logic, and imagination over appearances. The crucifixion is not a historical event—it is a spiritual process of fixing a desire into consciousness. When we truly crucify Jesus (live in the end) and release Barabbas (eliminate self-doubt), our dreams will resurrect into physical reality.

In Feed My Sheep, Neville Goddard explores the biblical metaphor of shepherding as a call to consciously rule and direct our thoughts. He explains that most people allow their minds to wander aimlessly, much like sheep without a shepherd, but true mastery requires feeding and disciplining the mind to manifest desires effectively.Key Teachings1. The Meaning of "Feeding the Sheep""Feed my sheep" means to shepherd our thoughts deliberately.Thoughts, like scattered sheep, must be gathered and directed toward a chosen outcome.The parable of the talents in Matthew 25 illustrates that mental faculties must be actively developed—unused abilities atrophy like an unexercised muscle.2. Israel is Within, Not an External NationNeville interprets biblical Israel not as a geographic nation, but as ideas and desires scattered within the mind."Jacob" represents our imagined desires before they take form in the physical world."Esau" symbolizes external reality—the physical, visible world.To bring "Jacob" to the Lord means to assume and persist in the reality of our desires until they manifest.3. Moving from Servant to SonThe spiritual journey follows three stages:Servant – Learning to direct thought and consciously manifest.Friend – Developing a close relationship with the deeper self (God).Son – Realizing oneself as the divine creator, one with God.We begin as servants, proving our faith by demonstrating control over our reality.Once mastery is achieved, we become friends of God, communing with Him directly.Finally, we awaken to our divine nature and recognize ourselves as sons of God.4. The Power of Assumption in ManifestationSeeing a desire clearly in the mind’s eye is seeing Israel.Occupying the state of the wish fulfilled is bringing Jacob to the Lord.Success is not found in the external world but within, through assumption.To manifest, one must move from merely seeing a desire to thinking from it—feeling as if it is already real.5. The Role of Faith and Testing the LawNeville urges us to test these principles by consciously manifesting for ourselves and others.We can prove we are "servants" by bringing about small, tangible changes in our lives.Success in these small tests strengthens our faith and moves us closer to divine realization.To not test these principles is to bury our talents, like the servant in the parable who hid his gift in fear.Practical ApplicationChoose a Desire – Clearly define what you or someone else wants.See It as Already Real – In your mind’s eye, vividly imagine it as a present fact.Think from the State – Assume and persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled.Disregard Physical Reality – Ignore contrary evidence in the external world.Remain Faithful Until It Hardens Into Fact – Continue assuming until it manifests.

In this lecture, Neville Goddard explores the mystical meaning behind the passage from 1 John 5:6: “This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood.” He explains that this passage symbolizes the mystery of birth, incarnation, death, and resurrection—not as an event from 2,000 years ago, but as an internal process within man.The water represents psychological truth—the knowledge of the creative power within man. The blood represents the application of that truth—the active embodiment of desire into reality. Neville emphasizes that knowing the truth is not enough; one must apply it through assumption and persistence.Key ConceptsThe Birth of Christ WithinEvery natural birth is accompanied by the flow of water and blood.This symbolizes the process of spiritual rebirth—the transition from passive to active consciousness.The birth of Christ is the awakening of the creative power within man.Something from Nothing: The Mystery of ManifestationCreation is bringing life out of seeming death, something out of nothing.The world sees cause and effect in the external, but true causation is internal.The assumption of a desired state, though unseen, will externalize as reality.Water as Truth, Blood as ApplicationWater represents knowledge of the law: imagining creates reality.Blood represents the active assumption of the imagined state.Only by embodying the assumption can desires be brought into the world.The Death of the Old StateTo manifest a new reality, one must die to the old state of mind.This means completely abandoning previous beliefs and assumptions.The world calls this process irrational, but it is the path to creation.Faithful Persistence Brings the Incarnation of DesireImagining vividly and living in the assumption crystallizes it into fact.The world will try to trace changes back to visible causes, but all change originates within.Every person lives in an infinite world of invisible states—what we dwell in determines our reality.Key ThemesThe incarnation of Christ is the awakening of man’s imagination as creative power.The death of God is complete forgetfulness of his divine nature to become man.The resurrection of Christ is man’s realization that he is God in expression.Worshiping idols (external gods) is a misunderstanding—God is within.Every assumption, if persisted in, will harden into fact.Practical ApplicationIdentify your desire clearly and see it vividly in your mind’s eye.Assume the feeling of already possessing it.Persist in that assumption until it externalizes in reality.Do not seek external validation—creation happens within.Understand that all transformation requires death—the shedding of old beliefs.

Feeling is the Secret by Neville Goddard (Full Audiobook with Commentary)CHAPTERS:

In The Four Mighty Ones, Neville Goddard reveals the mystical power of creation within every individual. The Four Mighty Ones symbolize the four aspects of consciousness that shape our reality. This concept is veiled throughout scripture—in the four gospels, four horsemen, four rivers of Eden, and four creatures around God's throne—and represents the four functions of the creative process within man.The riddle from Proverbs 30 asks: Who hath gathered the wind in his fist? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name? Neville explains that these questions relate to the fourfold creative process:Awareness (Spirit / Wind) – "I AM"The first mighty one is the awareness of being, symbolized by the Jod (fist) in the divine name.It is the foundation of creation—without awareness, nothing exists.Imagination (Water / Psychological Truth) – The VisionaryThe second mighty one gathers psychological truth into a form, shaping thoughts into possibilities.This is the "garment" that one mentally wears.Assumption (Earth / Solidity) – The DirectorThe third mighty one, represented by the Vow (nail), fixes the imagined state into reality.By fully assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, we establish it as fact.Manifestation (Embodiment of the Son) – The ActorThe fourth mighty one enacts the vision, becoming the reality that was once imagined.This is Christ within—the power of divine imagination expressing itself as form.Neville describes this as a spiritual production where man is simultaneously the producer, author, director, and actor of his life’s drama. When these forces work in harmony, we consciously create our reality.Key ThemesThe Name of God ("I AM") is the key to creation.The fourfold creative process determines our life’s circumstances.There is no secondary cause—all experience stems from consciousness.Conscious assumption creates fact—what we persist in imagining hardens into reality.Peace is only possible when mankind understands and applies these principles.By recognizing the four aspects of creative power within, we can consciously direct our lives rather than being victims of external events.

In The Cup and the Cross, Neville Goddard teaches that imagination is God and that each person is called to awaken to their divine nature. He emphasizes that imagination creates reality, and though we currently operate at a "low key" where manifestations take time, they are inevitable if we persist.The cup represents the challenge of seeing beyond appearances and accepting the responsibility to transform reality through revision. The cross is not a literal object but the act of crossing from one state of being to another, lifting oneself and others to a higher vision of reality.Goddard illustrates the transformative power of revision—seeing a person or situation not as it appears, but as it should be. He urges us to crucify ourselves upon the ideal vision of others, mentally holding them in a perfected state until they naturally rise to it. This is the essence of true forgiveness and redemption.He warns against religious misunderstandings, explaining that Christ is not a historical figure, but the divine presence in every person. The resurrection is the awakening of imagination, and everyone must experience it firsthand. The greatest act of faith is to mentally hold another in their ideal state, knowing that it will manifest in time.This process of lifting up others lifts us up as well, leading to spiritual awakening. Through imagination, revision, and unwavering faith, man crosses from illusion to truth, from limitation to divinity.

In Mental Diets, Neville Goddard teaches that our inner conversations—the ongoing, often unconscious dialogues we have with ourselves—shape our external reality. He emphasizes that:We are always talking to ourselves internally, and these conversations dictate our life circumstances.To change our reality, we must first change our inner dialogue.Aligning our inner speech with our desired state leads to transformation.Goddard explains that people unknowingly trap themselves in cycles of failure and disappointment by persistently engaging in negative self-talk. He introduces the concept of mental diets—consciously selecting only positive, constructive thoughts and conversations to feed the mind.He shares a powerful example of a woman who was struggling at work due to her employer’s harsh treatment. She realized she was constantly arguing with him in her mind. When she revised her inner dialogue—imagining him praising her instead—the real-life relationship changed almost instantly.The key takeaway is that inner talking is causative—our words are “sent forth” and return to us as reality. By controlling our inner speech, we gain mastery over life itself. This is the essence of the art of revision:Observe your habitual inner conversations.Replace negative or limiting thoughts with conversations that affirm your ideal state.Persist in these new dialogues until they feel natural.Goddard asserts that the transformation of self requires inner discipline—monitoring and reshaping thoughts just as one would control their physical diet. Through this practice, one awakens to their creative power, realizing that imagination is the gateway to reality.

In Three Propositions, Neville Goddard presents three fundamental ideas that define reality creation:Your state of consciousness determines your life’s conditions and circumstances.You have the power to select and shift into any state of consciousness you desire.Therefore, you can be anything you wish to be.Goddard explains that life does not change by the mere passage of time; transformation requires a shift in consciousness. The habitual patterns of thought—our inner conversations—create the structure of our lives. Most people remain trapped in familiar states, unable to detach from ingrained mental habits.He introduces the art of revision as a method to break free from limiting states. By consciously rewriting inner conversations, we alter the tracks that our reality follows. He provides a powerful technique:Observe your internal dialogue—what are you repeatedly saying to yourself?Consciously revise and replace negative thoughts with desired inner conversations.Persist in this new state until it becomes stable, expelling old mental patterns.Goddard emphasizes that spiritual awakening happens when one recognizes their imagination as the creative force. Those who remain unaware of their inner dialogue live as Adam—asleep and trapped in unconscious cycles. Awakening is symbolized as becoming Christ Jesus—the realization that imagination is God in action.By taking responsibility for inner speech, one moves from a passive dreamer to an active creator of reality.

In The Coin of Heaven, Neville Goddard emphasizes the power of inner conversations in shaping reality. He explains that human life moves along predetermined tracks, repeating experiences unconsciously unless one intervenes with awareness and imagination. Goddard stresses that the "next life is this life"—one will continue reliving the same patterns unless they awaken to their creative power.He provides a technique for transformation: the art of revision, where one mentally revises past events to align with their ideal reality. He urges listeners to assume new inner dialogues from the perspective of fulfilled desires, thereby shifting their life experiences. Goddard likens the process to watering a garden—by mentally seeing abundance, love, and success in others, one simultaneously nurtures their own consciousness.He describes spiritual awakening as moving from an automatic, repetitive existence into conscious creation. The ultimate goal is to awaken to the divine imagination within, known as Christ, and to break free from the cycle of unconscious recurrence.Through visualization, belief, and disciplined inner speech, one can step into the conscious circle of awakened humanity and truly transform their reality.In This Episode:Neville Goddard explains why your next life is this life—unless you change it.How inner conversations shape your future.The Art of Revision: A technique to rewrite your past and shift your destiny.Why your reality is like a set track—until you wake up and consciously alter it.Watering the garden of your mind: How your thoughts influence others and yourself.The meaning of spiritual awakening and breaking free from the cycle of recurrence.Key Takeaways:Your imagination is the divine creative power—use it wisely.Your inner dialogue determines your external world.Revising past experiences in your mind creates a new future.Awakening is recognizing the mechanical nature of life and stepping into conscious creation.
