  1. Neville Lecture #01 Have You Found Him 09/15/1967
    Tonight's subject is: "Have you found him?" In this question I am asking if you have found the source, the cause of the phenomena of life. I can tell you from experience that he is a person as I am, as you are. Called "the Father," he is the one of whom I speak tonight.

    I have met the Father. He embraced me and incorporated me into his body, so I wear (not to the mortal eye, but to the Spiritual eye) the human form divine, the body of infinite love. On this level this statement sounds insane, but it is true. Tonight I am going to try to show you how he will appear when you find him.
  2. Neville Lecture #02 Yours for the Taking 09/18/1967
    There is only one cause for the phenomena of life. That cause is God. Housed in you, God is a person in the most literal sense of the word. Believe me, for I know this from experience. God, the only creator, is pure imagination working in the depth of your soul. God began a good work in you and He will bring it to completion on the day God's creative power is unveiled in you! God's creative power and wisdom is defined in scripture as Christ. When Christ unveils himself in you, you will know you are God's power and God's wisdom.
  3. Neville Lecture #03 Prophetic Sketches 09/22/1967
    The stories recorded in the Bible are prophetic sketches of events predestined to take place in the individual you! We are told in the seventh chapter of John: "We know where this man comes from, yet we are told that when the Christ appears no one will know where he comes from." Speaking of the Father and the higher realm to which he now belongs, Jesus says: "A time will come when I will no longer speak to you in parables, but tell you plainly of the Father." Trying to convince man of man's own Fatherhood from which he came and to which he will return, Jesus said: "I came out from the Father and I have come into the world. Again I am leaving the world and returning to the Father." Now, where does he speak plainly? In the 14th chapter of John, saying: "He who sees me has seen the Father," and in the 10th [chapter] of John, when he states: "I and the Father are one."
  4. Neville Lecture #04 Test Yourselves 09/25/1967
    Faith is not complete until through experiment it becomes experience. God's promise cannot be tested. It cannot be earned, for it is given by grace. But your faith will be increased when you experiment, when you test God's law. It is easier to accept the Christian faith than to live by it, but you must live by it for your faith to grow! In his Second letter to the Corinthians, Paul is speaking to the whole world when he says: "Examine yourselves to see if you are holding to the faith. Test yourselves! Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? -unless of course you fail to meet the test. I hope you will discover that we have not failed."
  5. Neville Lecture #05 The New Christology 09/22/1967
    You will find this a very practical night, for I feel that the truth of the working of God's law should be looked upon as intensely as anything in this world. So tonight I want to show you quite clearly how God's law operates. We are told in the 14th chapter of John: "Let not your heart be troubled, you believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? When I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself that where I am there you may be also." You may think some man is speaking to a group of men as I am here; but these words were spoken by the human Imagination, who - having come out from the Father, came into the world. Now leaving the world, human imagination is going to the Father's house. He is returning to discover the source, the cause, of the phenomena of life.
  6. Neville Lecture #06 Judas the Revealer 10/02/1967
    Judas, the one in scripture who is the most condemned, is the true revealer of Christ. We call him Judas, but Judas and Judah are one. In biblical thought, a man's name reveals his character. The full significance of the name is understood only when it is manifested in him who is the Word made flesh. Tonight we will take the name "Judas" which is spelled "Yod He Vav Dalet He" [Ye-hu-da]. The Divine name "Lord" is "Yod He Vav He", called "I AM". So we have the Divine name, "I AM" with dalet inserted into it. Dalet, the fourth letter of Hebrew alphabet, carries the symbol of a door. So the central figure of the New Testament declares: "I AM the door."
  7. Neville Lecture #07 The Secret of Prayer 10/06/1967
    The secret of scriptural prayer, as told in the form of a parable, is to pray and never lose heart. One such parable tells of a widow who kept coming to a judge, asking for vindication. At first he did not respond, then he said to himself: "Although I neither fear God, nor regard man, yet I will exonerate her, because by her much coming, she wearies me." Parables, like dreams, contain a single jet of truth. This parable urges persistence in mastering the art of prayer. Once you have mastered it you will live in the state of thanksgiving, and all through the day you will say over and over again to yourself: "Thank you, Father."
  8. Neville Lecture #08 God is Light 10/09/1967
    We are told in the 1st Epistle of John, the 1st chapter: "This is the message we have received from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him there is no darkness at all." Is this a figure of speech or a literal fact? I am telling you from experience: it is a literal fact, for God is light! There are three very firm statements made in scripture defining God. God is light. God is love, and God is spirit. John tells us here that God is light, a light in which there is no darkness.
  9. Neville Lecture #09 Trust in God 10/13/1967
    Ask any religious person if he believes in God, and he will say yes. But if you ask him who God is, everyone you ask will give you a different answer. So when I ask you to trust in God, I want you to know who God really is, for if you trust in him, your world will change. Speaking to God, Moses asked: "When I go to the people of Israel and tell them that the God of our fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob sent me, and they ask me your name, what shall I tell them?" Then God replied: "Say this, I AM has sent me to you. This is my name forever. Thus shall I be known throughout all generations." Here we discover God's name to be I AM, the same name you use when you identify yourself! Now I ask you, do you believe in that God?
  10. Neville Lecture #10 A Movement Within God 10/16/1967
    If you find yourself miserable or helpless here, may I tell you that you are not condemned to the state by a deity outside of yourself, for everything that takes place in your world is but a movement within God. We are told that in the very beginning the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters and things came into being. Everything - your misery, your helplessness, your joy, your sorrow - no matter what it is, comes into being by a movement within God, and he is not a deity outside yourself.
  11. Neville Lecture #11 A Lesson in Scripture 10/23/1967
    In the second chapter of the Book of Luke the story is told of Jesus' parents, worried and seeking him for three days, finding him and complaining, to which Jesus said: "How is it that you sought me? Know you not that I must be about my Father's business?" I ask you not to put yourself in that frame of mind. Your earthly parents seek you and, at the tender age of twelve, you dare to say to them: "I must be about my Father's business."
  12. Neville Lecture #12 The Cup of Experience 10/27/1967
    All things exist in the human imagination, and I mean that literally. No one can know of imagination who has not tasted the cup of experience! In the Psalms we are told that in the hand of the Lord there is a cup that is bubbling over with wine which has been well mixed. And John asks: "Shall I not drink of the cup of salvation which the Father has given me, and call upon his name?" When we read these words we wonder what it is all about. Well, let me share with you a vision of mine of about thirty years ago.
  13. Neville Lecture #13 What Are You Doing 10/30/1967
    Many times I have heard someone say: "I believe that imagining creates reality, but I once imagined something and it never came to pass." Then I ask: "What are you doing, saying: 'I once imagined it' and not imagining it now?' For God's name is I am, not I did!" Always thinking of God as someone outside of himself, man finds it difficult to keep the tense, but God is the human imagination and there is no other God. When you imagine you may include others, but do not think in terms of influence. Rather, think only in terms of clarity of form.
  14. Neville Lecture #14 All Things Are Possible 11/03/1967
    Jesus Christ is the true identity of every one! His name, forever and ever is I am! Therefore, when you say I am, you are declaring your true identity! Do you believe that all things are possible to someone called Jesus Christ, but not yourself? If you do it is because you do not know who you are! In 1929, believing Jesus Christ to be another, I stood in His presence. We embraced and I became the infinite love that I beheld, for at that moment I was incorporated into His body and became one with the Risen Lord.
  15. Neville Lecture #15 Walk By Faith 10/13/1967
    Blake asked the question: "Why is it that the Bible is more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because it is addressed to the Imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and only immediately to the understanding, or reason?" The one book, called the Bible, is composed of sixty-six books. Take this challenge. Read each book as though the depth of your soul is speaking to your surface mind. As though the ineffable Imagination is speaking to the human Imagination, and not to your immediate understanding or reasoning mind.
  16. Neville Lecture #16 Come O Blessed 11/10/1967
    At times I discover that I take too much for granted. Just because I read scripture all day, I'm inclined to believe most people do - and they don't. Yesterday a doctor who has been coming here for quite a while came to see me, and I realized that I had not made myself clear; so tonight I shall try to make this a very practical lecture, yet you will find it profoundly spiritual.
  17. Neville Lecture #17 Gods Word 11/13/1967
    We are here in this world for one purpose and that is to fulfill God's Word, which is scripture. Oh, you can accomplish miracles while you are here, but God sent you - his Word - into the world, saying: "My Word shall not return unto me void. It must accomplish that which I purposed and prosper in the thing for which I sent it." You are that Word, and you are destined to fulfill scripture. This past week a lady wrote me, saying: "Recently I have been having difficulty remembering my dreams, but this one was the most difficult I have ever encountered. I knew I had to surface to tell it to you, but it seemed like an endless depth of utter darkness from which I came. Holding onto the memory image of what I had experienced, I felt as though I were a diver who had plunged too deep and would never make the surface, but I did and this is my experience.
  18. Neville Lecture #18 The Core of Man 11/17/1967
    The last chapter of William Blake's poem, "Jerusalem," (Plate 77), is addressed to the Christians. In it he says: "Devils are false religions. I know of no other Christianity and no other gospel, than the liberty both of body and mind to exercise the divine arts of Imagination. Imagination, the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow, and in which we shall live in our eternal or imaginative bodies when these vegetable, mortal bodies are no more. The apostles knew of no other gospel. What is that talent which is a curse to hide? What are the treasures of heaven which we are to lay up for ourselves? Are they any other than mental studies and performances?"
  19. Neville Lecture #19 Building Your Temple 11/20/1967
    William Blake, in his poem "The Four Zoas: a Dream of Nine Nights," tells of God's fall into division and his resurrection to unity - his fall into generation, decay, and death and his resurrection into the unity of the one Father. Associating his poem with the 6th chapter of Ephesians, the 12th verse, he states: "We wrestle not with flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places." So we see that the fall into division and the resurrection into unity is mental.
  20. Neville Lecture #20 Truth the Word of God 11/24/1967
    If truth could ever be told so that it is understood, it will be believed. It is my hope that I can make the truth of scripture so understandable you will believe it. But whether you do or not, one day you will; for scripture will fulfill itself in you and then you will understand it perfectly.
  21. Neville Lecture #21 Awake O Sleeper 01/08/1968
    The Bible is addressed to the Imagination - which is spiritual sensation - and only immediately to the understanding, or reason. In the fifth chapter of the Book of Ephesians we are told to: "Awake O sleeper and rise from the dead." Now, reason could never comprehend these words, but the Bible is calling upon Imagination to awaken, telling Him that he is sleeping, dreaming his world into being. But Imagination, now a rational being, does not know this and therefore cannot believe it.
  22. Neville Lecture #22 Live the Answer Now 01/15/1968
    Every fact is a dream made visible, so I invite you to live as though your dream were already a fact! I am convinced that every dream (desire) I have dared to live in the now, has gradually and unnoticed blossomed into fact in my life. I also know, not only from personal experience, but from eternal vision, that the spiritual states of the soul are eternal. That like a traveler, individual man passes through states, but the states remain forever.
  23. Neville Lecture #23 God Speaks to Man 01/19/1968
    "In a vision of the night when deep sleep falls upon men, while they slumber on their beds, he opens their ears and seals their instructions." (Job 33) Tonight you may find yourself in a terrestrial world like this one, and you feel just as real to yourself as you do here. And when you return with its memory you may think it was a dream, but it was a vision. You are dreaming right now, for this world is the dream you and I agreed to complete. Its end will appear when we turn around through a series of visions.
  24. Neville Lecture #24 The Gospel 01/22/1968
    When you hear the word "gospel" you usually think in terms of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, but tonight I want to introduce you to the gospel as found in the letters of Paul. Listen to these words carefully: "I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel, not that there is another gospel, but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or any who hear him, should preach a gospel that is contradictory to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed." Then he repeats this saying: "I have said before so now I say again. If anyone teaches a gospel that is contrary to the gospel we preach, let him be accursed." You will notice that Paul includes himself in that statement, because it is possible under the threat of death or pain or torture for man to confess that he was wrong. (The churches made Galileo confess, under the threat of Cain, that the earth was stationary and not moving around the sun, even though today we know Galileo was right.)
  25. Neville Lecture #25 Fourfold Vision 01/26/1968
    William Blake once wrote these words to his friend Thomas Butts: "Now I a fourfold vision see, And a fourfold vision is given to me: 'Tis fourfold in my supreme delight And threefold in soft Beulah's night And twofold always, may God us keep From single vision and Newton's sleep!" Fourfold vision is to single vision as ordinary sight is to blindness. We all experience single and threefold vision. It's twofold and fourfold vision that one must consciously work to achieve.
  26. Neville Lecture #26 Your Husband 02/02/1968
    Probably one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible is recorded in the 3rd chapter of Genesis, the 16th verse: "The Lord said to the woman, 'I will greatly multiply your sorrow and in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband and he shall rule over you." In this fabulous world of ours, many accept this statement literally and believe that the children spoken of here come from the womb of woman and the male is the husband and ruler; however in the 54th chapter of Isaiah, you are told: "Your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is his name."
  27. Neville Lecture #27 Faith in God 02/05/1968
    In the eleventh chapter of the Book of Hebrews, faith is described as: "The assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so things seen are made out of that which does not appear. In the Hebraic world, the rabbi is the father of his congregation. Paul called his followers his little children, saying: "Although you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. I became your father in Jesus Christ through the gospel. I urge you then to be imitators of me"
  28. Neville Lecture #28 God's Creative Power 02/09/1968
    In the Book of Exodus, God speaks to Moses saying, "I AM the I AM. I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name I AM I did not make myself known to them." And in the Book of First Corinthians you will read that the I AM is personified as Jesus Christ. Although the Christian world claims to believe in Christ, they will never know Him until they, like you, examine themselves to see if they are holding to the faith. If you really want to find Jesus Christ, you must test Him as yourself. If you have, and are still not sure of yourself, then you have failed the test.
  29. Neville Lecture #29 Salvation History 02/12/1968
    It is God's purpose to give himself to you as though there were no other! And when He does, it will not be you and God, but you as God! Although it seems impossible for the God who created the universe and all within it, to give himself to one who is born in time and will die in time, it is true. Ask a devoted Christian who knows his Bible if he believes in Jesus Christ and thinks of him as the Lord; he will answer, Yes. Ask him if he believes that Jesus was referring to the creator of the universe, when he said: "I and my Father are one, and when you see me you have seen the Father," and again he will agree.
  30. Neville Lecture #30 Infinite Power 02/16/1968
    Robert Browning tells us: "Truth is within ourselves. It takes no rise from outer things No matter what you see. There is an inmost center in us all Where truth abides in fullness to know, Rather than insist on opening up a way Whence the imprisoned splendor may escape That is effecting everything As a light that is supposed to be without." My word is truth. This truth is within you, waiting to be accepted in order to be experienced. Speaking to his father in the 17th chapter of John, Jesus said: "I have given them the words which thou gavest me. They have received them and know, in truth, that I came from thee; and they have believed thou didst send me."
  31. Neville Lecture #31 Jesus Christ 02/23/1968
    Although only a few are teaching this wonderful principle at the present time, many others will follow; and because the Christian world believes in a man, this question will be asked over and over: "Do you not believe that a man called Jesus Christ walked the earth?" It is my hope that I will be able to clarify this point for you tonight. Listen to these words from scripture: "You will know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Thy Word is truth." And speaking of Jesus Christ: "His name shall be called the Word of God." Here we see he has a name, so he is a person, yet he is the Word, the truth that sets man free. Confessing that he came into the world to do his Father's will, in the 6th chapter of the book of John he makes this statement: "This is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life."
  32. Neville Lecture #32 The State of Vision 02/26/1968
    "We have only to raise Imagination to the state of Vision and the thing is done." (William Blake) Just imagine it! That is all you and I are required to do. No matter what it is we desire, we have only to raise imagination to the state of vision, and the thing is done! Now, when the prophets of old used the word vision in scripture, they meant all of the senses, either individually or in combination. The Book of Isaiah begins: "The visions of Isaiah, the son of Amoz. Hear, O heavens and give ear O earth; for the Lord has spoken." And the Book of Obadiah states: "The visions of Obadiah. Thus sayeth the Lord God." Here we find the visions are audio; but scripture records visions of sight, sound, scent, taste, and touch. The last chapter of the Book of Job reads: "I have heard of thee with the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee."
  33. Neville Lecture #33 The Last Days 02/08/1968
    Man thinks history is moving towards an inevitable climax of good, but that climax has already occurred and [is] recorded in the New Testament in the words: "It is finished." So when I speak of the last days, I am referring to definite events which will occur in the life of you, an individual, which will take you from this age of sin and death to enter the New Age of eternal life!
  34. Neville Lecture #34 Conception 03/11/1968
    Tonight's subject is on conception, both on this level and the highest level. The Bible is vision from beginning to end. Words such as Jesus, Moses, Abraham, and Isaac are used, but their stories are visions. Jesus is the fulfillment of scripture, so when I speak of Jesus, I am speaking of you raised to the level where you can make the same bold statement. Jesus' declaration that he was the fulfillment of scripture required a spiritual maturity of which most who heard his claim were not capable of understanding, but the purpose of life is to fulfill scripture. Tonight I will speak of conception which leads to scripture's fulfillment, as well as the shadow it casts in this world, for the same technique can be used to realize your objectives here.
  35. Neville Lecture #35 An Inner Conviction 03/15/1968
    I tell you that imagination creates reality and I ask you to imagine a state, any state, which would imply the fulfillment of your desire. It doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks; it's what you think that matters to you! If you create a scene which implies the fulfillment of your desire and dwell in it until you have an inner conviction that it is real, what does it matter what another thinks?
  36. Neville Lecture #36 Persistent Assumption 03/18/1968
    I tell you a truth: There is nothing greater than your own wonderful human imagination! It is he who inspired Blake, Shakespeare, and Einstein, for there is only one spirit in the universe! "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one." That one spirit is the human imagination! When Blake was asked what he thought of the divinity of Christ he answered: "Christ is the only God, but so am I and so are you." Don't think of Christ as someone greater than yourself. He is the only God, but so am I and so are you! Don't consider yourself less than Christ, for there is only God, who is your own wonderful human imagination.
  37. Neville Lecture #37 Infinite States 03/22/1968
    Quite often someone will say to me: "I don't think others understand you." I was asked this question: "When you use the word 'state' I don't think others know what you mean, so would you please explain it?" Tonight I will try. We are told: "You are sons of the Most High, all of you." (Not just a few, but all of us). "Nevertheless, you will die like men and fall"…..into infinite states of consciousness, for states are that into which the sons of the Most High fall.
  38. Neville Lecture #38 Follow the Pattern 03/25/1968
    "Man is all Imagination and God is Man and exists in us and we in him. The eternal body of Man is the Imagination and that is God Himself." (William Blake) We are told that the Bible is the word of God; therefore, if God and man are one, it must be man's word. Now, a scriptural episode is not a record of an historical event, but a paradoxical revelation of truth. Accept this, even though you may not understand it, for when scripture is experienced, you will know it is literally true! Paul tells us to follow the pattern of the sound words which you have heard from me. Guard the truth which has been entrusted to you by the Holy Spirit which dwells within us. (II Timothy) Here we are called upon to guard this truth, for only as we follow the pattern - which is the truth - are we saved. If all things are possible to your imagination, and you are all imagination, you should be able to accomplish anything and fulfill every desire. But first you must be willing to believe you are all imagination! It's entirely up to you. Do you believe you are mortal man - or all imagination?
  39. Neville Lecture #39 Seek the Kingdom 03/29/1968
    That which is most profoundly spiritual is in reality most directly practical. We are told: "Do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' for your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all of these things shall be yours as well." Here is a priority. Your heavenly Father knows you have to eat, drink, and clothe yourself, and they will all be yours if you will but put first things first; and the first thing is to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness, for God is in his kingdom and when you find the kingdom you find God.
  40. Neville Lecture #40 Whom Do You Seek 04/02/1968
    The Bible, from beginning to end, is the vision of the Lord God Jehovah, yet the message given there can be applied in a most practical manner. In two weeks the Western world will be told the story of Good Friday. They will hear of a man who was in a garden with those who believe him, when a band of soldiers came looking for a certain person. Then it is said: "Knowing what was to befall him, Jesus came forward and said, 'Whom do you seek?' and they answered, 'Jesus of Nazareth.' Then he said to them, 'I am.' (The pronoun "he" is not in the original manuscript.) When they heard that, they drew back and fell to the ground. Again he asked, 'Whom do you seek?' and again they replied, 'Jesus of Nazareth,' and he said, 'I told you that I am; so if you seek me, let these men go.'"
  41. Neville Lecture #41 Eschatology the Drama of the End 04/05/1968
    The word "disciple" means "learner", and anyone who hears God's pattern of salvation from one who has experienced it and believes, hungering to learn more, is a disciple. Tradition tells us Peter, James, and John were disciples. No, you are a disciple if you believe my words! Now, when I speak of Jesus, I am speaking of the pattern man, for "He has made known unto me the purpose of his will which he set forth in Christ as a plan (a pattern) for the fullness of time." That pattern has unfolded in me and I can tell you from experience: Jesus Christ is the unfoldment of the Father and the Son. If you believe me, you are my disciples.
  42. Neville Lecture #42 The Great Mystery 04/12/1968
    Easter Sunday is the day the world celebrates the greatest mystery of the Christian faith. I use the word "mystery" advisedly, for in the Book of Mark, Jesus turns to his disciples and says: "To you it has been given to know the mystery of God, but to those outside, everything is in parables." (Mark 4) Here we see that the mystery of God is revealed from within, while the story of God is told as a parable to those on the outside. A parable is a story told as though it were true, leaving the one who hears it to discover its fictitious character and learn its lesson. On Good Friday, possibly hundreds of millions of people will attend the three-hour service. An equal number - and maybe even a greater number - will go to Easter service on Sunday, not knowing they are worshiping a parable which must be experienced from within to be known.
  43. Neville Lecture #43 Sons of the Most High 04/15/1968
    President Hoover, a man who began his life here on earth in the state of poverty, yet rose to the highest office in our land made this statement at a convention in San Francisco: "Human history, with its forms of governments, its revolutions, its wars, and in fact the rise and fall of nations, could be written in terms of the rise and fall of ideas implanted in the mind of men." We are told in the 8th chapter of Nehemiah that Ezra read from the Book, from the law of God with interpretation, so that the people understood the reading. It is my hope that I can interpret the words of President Hoover and the meaning behind the words from the Epistle of John so that you may understand their meaning. The words are these: "I am from above; you are from below. You are of this world; I am not of this world. Now I say to you, unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins."
  44. Neville Lecture #44 I Remember When 04/19/1968
    When I receive a great revelation concerning the creative power of God I cannot keep it to myself, but must share it with all that will listen. Here is one I received many years ago. I found myself, in Spirit, in the interior of a stately mansion in New York City. It was the kind of home the great financial giants lived in at the turn of the century. Fully awake and aware, I was visible to the three generations who were present. The son spoke to his children saying: "Your grandfather would stand on an empty lot and say: "I remember when this was an empty lot.' Then he would paint a word picture of his desire for that lot so vividly that those who heard him could see it completed right before their eyes. This is the grandfather who made the fortune we are now enjoying."
  45. Neville Lecture #45 My Word 04/22/1968
    "My word that goes forth from my mouth shall not return to me empty, but shall accomplish that which I purpose and prosper in the thing for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55) This is the same word recorded in the Book of John as: "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. The word became flesh and dwells in us." (John 1) The Revised Standard Version of the Bible has mistranslated the preposition "in" to read "among" as the word, becoming flesh, dwells in us. Notice John used the plural "us", for it was not a person the word assumed, but the nature of being a person. The word assumed human nature, to become the mold upon which the pattern is molded.
  46. Neville Lecture #46 Perception 04/26/1968
    There is nothing that appears in perception which cannot be duplicated in fancy, and what the world perceives is all imaginative in character. Here is a graphic example: I am sure everyone knows what it is to detect the fragrance of a rose. Now smell is a chemical sense and depends upon contact for perception. But does one really need a rose to detect its fragrance? Cannot its fragrance be reproduced imaginatively? Having smelled an Easter lily, can you not discriminate between the smell of a rose and a lily, imaginatively? Then they do not exist independent of you, but live on some level (or levels) of your imagination! Can you call upon your memory of an experience of long ago, bring it back, and duplicate it in fancy? If so, then this world is no different from your imaginal one!
  47. Neville Lecture #47 A State Called Moses 04/29/1968
    While reading scripture, always bear in mind that it is a story of salvation and not secular history, that the characters - from Adam to Jesus - are states of consciousness. In Blake's "Visions of the Last Judgment," he said: "It ought to be understood that the Persons Moses and Abraham are not here meant, but states signified by those names as they were revealed to mortal man in a series of divine revelations, as they are written in the Bible." Having seen the entire play, Blake added: "When you see them from afar they appear as one man, but as you approach they appear as multitudes of nations, as the One Man becomes the many."
  48. Neville Lecture #48 The Spiritual Cause 05/03/1968
    All cause is spiritual! Although a natural cause seems to be, it is a delusion of the vanishing vegetable memory. Unable to remember the moment a state was imagined, when it takes form and is seen by the outer eye its harvest is not recognized, and therefore denied. "There is a moment in each day that Satan cannot find, nor can his watch fiends find it, but the industrious find this moment and it multiplies. And when it once is found, it renovates every moment of the day if rightly placed." (William Blake)
  49. Neville Lecture #49 Who Am I 05/06/1968
    "Every generated body in its inward form is a garden of delight and a building of magnificence. Travelers from Eternity pass outward to bodies of flesh and blood and forgetfulness, but travelers to Eternity pass inward to the Father and Remembrance." (William Blake) Notice the movement here. Those who travel from eternity pass outward to these bodies of flesh and blood and forgetfulness, while those who travel to eternity pass inward to the body of the Father and Remembrance!
  50. Neville Lecture #50 No Other God 05/10/1968
    A god sent into the fires of experience is the only God upon whom to rely!

    Paul knew this truth and urged the Corinthians to "Examine yourselves. Test yourselves whether you are holding to the faith. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless, of course you fail to meet the test." Speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ as being in you, Paul invites everyone to test him. How would you go about testing yourself? By determining your desire and believing you have received it! In the 12th chapter of Mark, Jesus is made to say: "Whatever you desire, believe you have received it and you will." Now, here is a condition placed upon you. You must believe! You must dare to assume you are what you want to be and believe in that assumption! Then, if Jesus has not lied to you, your assumption will harden into fact!
  51. Neville Lecture #51 Divine Signs 05/01/1968
    Those raised in the Christian or Jewish faith are taught to believe that scripture is secular history. But I know that the story of Jesus, from his conception by the Holy Spirit to his ascension into heaven, is a sign rendered by God to those who will receive it. The visions of the Old and New Testament are unchanged, eternal realities, which are forever. One day you will encounter what appears on paper to be a person, but he will be a state of consciousness, personified. When Paul recognized this truth he said: "From now on I regard no one from a human point of view. Even though I once regarded Christ from a human point of view, I regard him thus no longer." After the revelation Paul realized that Jesus Christ was the creative power and wisdom of God, and not a person as he had been taught. But because God became Man that Man may become God, every attribute of God - whether it be faith, called Abraham, or the power and wisdom of God, called Jesus Christ - was personified.
  52. Neville Lecture #52 Creation - Faith 05/20/1968
    The mystery of creation is to be understood in terms of faith, so what is faith? It is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen with the mortal eye. Through faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear. "Many suppose that before creation, all was solitude and chaos. That is the most pernicious idea that can enter the mind of man, for it robs the Bible of all sublimity and the nature of the man who entertains that idea a little grubbing worm outside of himself. Eternity exists and all things in eternity, independent of creation which was an act of mercy." (William Blake)
  53. Neville Lecture #53 All Things Exist 05/24/1968
    "All that you behold, though it appears without, it is within, in your imagination of which this world of mortality is but a shadow." (William Blake) The world of imagination is infinite and eternal, whereas the world of generation is finite and temporary. In that eternal world, the permanent realities of everything exist. Their reflections are here, cast in a glass called nature. "The oak is cut down by the ax And the lamb falls by the knife, But their eternal forms exist forever, And are renewed by the seed of contemplative thought." (William Blake)
  54. Neville Lecture #54 Imagining Creates 06/03/1968
    The creator of the world works in the depth of your soul, underlying all of your faculties, including perception, and streams into your surface mind least disguised in the form of creative fancy. Watch your thoughts, and you will catch Him in the act of creating, for He is your very Self! Every moment of time you are imagining what you are conscious of, and if you do not forget what you are imagining and it comes to pass, you have found the creative cause of your world. Because God is pure imagination and the only creator, if you imagine a state and bring it to pass, you have found Him. Remember: God is your consciousness, your I AM; so when you are imagining, God is doing it. If you imagine and forget what you imagine, you may not recognize your harvest when it appears. It may be good, bad, or indifferent, but if you forget how it came into being, you have not found God.
  55. Neville Lecture #55 There is No Fiction 06/07/1968
    Fiction is defined as an imaginary construction which is unreal - as opposed to truth, or reality. But what is real and what is imaginary when, in a spiritual sense, all existing things are imaginary? Mark tells the parable of the fig tree, which - having been cursed - was found withered to its roots. Calling attention to this fact, awakened imagination said: "Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart that what he has said will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you desire, when you pray believe you have received it and you will." Mark 11.
  56. Neville Lecture #56 Sharing in Creativity 06/10/1968
    There is no greater thrill than sharing in divine creative activity! This activity, however, cannot be earned, for it is given by grace. When someone proclaimed: "I am of Paul and I am of Apollo," Paul asked, "Who is Paul and who is Apollo? I have planted and Apollo has watered, but God gives the growth." An idea is a seed which can be planted in the mind; but having no life in itself, the thought will remain dormant unless God gives it birth. Speaking of a remnant, Paul said: "When Elijah petitioned God against Israel because they had killed his prophets and destroyed his altars, and I alone am left, what did God say? He said: 'I have seven thousand men who have not bent their knee to Baal.'" Then Paul added this thought: "So, too, at this time there is a chosen remnant, chosen by grace; and if it is by grace, then it is not based on works - otherwise, grace would no longer be grace." (Romans 11)
  57. Neville Lecture #57 Walk On the Water 06/20/1968
    The Bible is addressed to the Man of Imagination, he who is immortal and cannot die. "The Eternal Body of Man is the Imagination. That is God Himself. The Divine Body, Jesus, we are his members." (William Blake) Ted Kennedy recently gave a eulogy for his brother, in which he quoted a passage from George Bernard Shaw. The thought was this: "Some men see things as they are and say, Why? I dream of things that never were and say, Why not?" When you think of your birth into this world as an act of God, can anything be impossible to God?
  58. Neville Lecture #58 Signs From Above 06/24/1968
    wrote salvation history. They introduced characters who never walked this earth, but whose names are significant. In the Book of John, we find the story of Nicodemus. Now, Nicodemus is not mentioned in any other part of the Bible, or in any historical records of the time; so we see Nicodemus was not introduced for some historical purpose. The word means "conqueror of the people; all victorious".
  59. Neville Lecture #59 He is My Resurrection 06 28 1968
    The gospel, which appears to be a little secular story, is truly a mystery to be known only by revelation. In the 16th chapter of John we are told: "I came out from the Father and came into the world. Again I leave the world and I return to the Father." In these four short phrases we find the pre-existence of Christ, his incarnation, his death, and his ascension. I could put this in the first person, plural sense and say: "We came out from the Father" for we are told in the 1st chapter of Ephesians: "He chose us in him before the foundation of the world." So all of us were chosen in him. That is why I can say, "We came out from the Father and came into the world. Again we are leaving the world and are going to the Father."
  60. Neville Lecture #60 Eternal States 09/09/1968
    Sit quietly and ask yourself who you are, where you are and what you are. Your answers will reveal your state of consciousness: your body of belief. Paul said, "We do not look to the outer things, but to the things unseen, for the outer things are transient, but the unseen things are eternal." Your beliefs, seen by the mystic, are personified. They form a state, which completely controls your behavior. Any modification within your body of belief will result in a change in your outer world. Blake tells us, "Eternity exists and all things in eternity independent of creation which was an act of mercy. By this you will see that I do not consider either the just or the wicked to be in a supreme state, but to be everyone of them states of the sleep which the soul may fall into in its deadly dreams of good and evil when it leaves paradise following the serpent."
  61. Neville Lecture #61 One Thousand Two Hundred Sixty Days 09/13/1968
    According to a rabbinical principle, what is not written in the Old Testament does not exist. The life of Jesus follows this principle. He made no attempt to change the world of Caesar or its social order, but left it just as it is, for man to make mistakes and live as he desires. Urging man to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's, Jesus comes into our lives for one purpose and that is to fulfill scripture. Tonight I want to show you how this is done in 1,260 days. Daniel confesses in the last chapter of his book that he did not understand the vision, when: "A man stood clothed in linen, above the water, who said to me, 'The words are closed and sealed until the time of the end.' I asked him how long shall it be to the end of these wonders and he said, 'A time, two times, and half a time.'" In Hebrew thought, a time is a year or 360 days; so we have three years of 360 days each and a half year of 180 days, which equal 1,260 days. Daniel was not told when the signs would begin, only that it would take 1,260 days to complete them.
  62. Neville Lecture #62 God's Wisest Creature 09/20/1968
    We are told that because of an act of disobedience man fell, thereby separating himself from God. But scripture tells us that God consigned all men to disobedience that he may have mercy upon them. So we see: the fall was a deliberate act, a plan for expansion, for greater existence, and an ultimate birth. Scholars consider the 82nd Psalm as one of the most difficult of all the psalms to interpret, stating that although the idea may be perennial, its meaning has vanished. Here are a couple of verses from that psalm: The Lord speaks, saying: "I say, 'You are gods, Sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, you shall die like men and fall as one man, O princes.' " These words are addressed to every child born of woman regardless of race or nationality. I say to you right now, you are gods, Sons of the Most High, all of you!
  63. Neville Lecture #63 The Father 09/23/1968
    The Bible begins with Abram, a character whose name means "exalted father." Abram was placed in a profound sleep, told of the trials and tribulations he would pass through, and the length of time which he would suffer. Then the Lord God said to him: "Behold my covenant is with you. No longer shall your name be Abram, but Abraham for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations." The insertion of the letter "he" [pron. "hey"] (the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, which is "grace") changed the name from Abram to Abraham. Now, grace is Jesus Christ, for we are told: "Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." So into the name of Abram goes the letter "he" and grace is inserted into the exalted father. Then the journey begins.
  64. Neville Lecture #64 Brazen Impudence 09/27/1968
    A new idea will not become part of your common currency of thought until it has been repeated over and over and you begin to live by it. You have been taught to believe that God exists outside of you, but I say you are all Imagination. That God exists in us and we in him. That our eternal body is the Imagination, and that is God Himself. I mean every word I have just said, but it is a new thought. Until this new idea becomes a part of your thinking, every time you hear the word, "God," your mind will go out to something you have conceived God to be.
  65. Neville Lecture #65 I Am in You 09/30/1968
    As Paul said to Timothy: "Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion." Scripture is not secular history, but a mystery which is most important that we understand! Speaking to his disciples, Jesus said: "In that day you will know that I am in the Father, and you in me and I in you." (John 14) The phrase "in that day" is an eschatological term meaning, "at the end of the journey." In other words, when this age of Caesar comes to its end, you will experience the truth of scripture, and - understanding - you will say: "I am in the Father and you are in me and I am in you."
  66. Neville Lecture #66 Power and Wisdom 10/04/1968
    Although man develops more and more power on earth, it is like kindergarten, compared to the power that is his in the New Age. Christ within you as your hope of glory is the personification of this power Knowing himself to be all power, Jesus turned to those who followed him, and said: "Wait in the city until you are clothed with power from on high." You are clothed with that power when the Holy Spirit, symbolized as a dove, descends upon you.
  67. Neville Lecture #67 The Spirit of Truth 10/07/1968
    When I speak of Jesus or any other character of scripture, I am speaking of a personification of a principle, not of a person as you are or I am. The Bible records vision, and makes no reference to persons or events which occurred on earth. Unfortunately, man has mistakenly taken personifications spoken of there for persons - the vehicle that conveyed the instruction for the instruction, and the gross first sense for the ultimate sense intended. It is difficult to discuss a principle without personifying it and giving it words to speak. This the evangelists have done; but to see Jesus as an historical character, is to see truth tempered to the weakness of the human soul, unable to bear the strong light of revelation.
  68. Neville Lecture #68 Before Abraham Was I Am 10/11/1968
    The drama tonight opens to the 8th chapter of the Book of John, where the evangelist writes of the state into which he has entered, saying: "Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham, was I am." The Bible is a recordation of the eternal spiritual states of the soul which everyone must pass through, beginning with the state of Abraham and culminating in the state called Jesus Christ. It is important, therefore, to distinguish between the man and the state he occupies at the present time.
  69. Neville Lecture #69 The Source 10/14/1968
  70. Neville Lecture #70 Christ is Your Life 10/18/1968
    This teaching is essentially a revelation of the Risen Christ. I am not speaking of the life of any man between his physical birth and death, but of the Christ who has risen in me and who rises in all. I have no mental image of a being outside of my life, or yours. Paul tells us: "You have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, you will appear with him in glory." (Col. 3:3,4) Here we see Paul equating your life with Christ. You are alive now, so what does Paul mean when he claims you have died? All of Paul's letters equate death with a sleep so profound the past is forgotten. It is from the sleep of death he urges you to roust yourself from saying: "Awake O sleeper and rise from the dead."
  71. Neville Lecture #71 Be Imitators of God 10/21/1968
    "It has been taught us from the primal state, that that which is, was wished until it were." (William Shakespeare) God started with a wish, saying; "Let us make man in our image." And we are told that we will be perfect as our Father is perfect, and holy as our Father is holy. Therefore, whatever God was, when his work is completed, man must be. We are told to be imitators of God as dear children, so we must discover how he became us in order to imitate him.
  72. Neville Lecture #72 Imagination Fulfills Its Self 10/26/1968
    I say imagination creates reality, and if this premise is true then imagination fulfills itself in what your life becomes. Although I have changed the words, what I am saying is not new. Scripture says it in this manner: "Whatsoever you desire, believe you have received it and you will." This statement goes back two thousand years, yet even before that Jeremiah tells of the same principle in his story of the potter and his clay. But until imagination becomes a part of your normal, natural currency of thought, you will not act consciously. Like breathing, this awareness must become so much a part of you that you will not turn to the left or the right to praise or blame anyone. When you know this presence it will not matter if you started life behind the eight-ball, or in a palace; as a poor, or a rich child; you will realize that life is always externalizing what you are imagining.
  73. Neville Lecture #73 Freedom 10/28/1968
    When asked: "What is the greatest of all the commandments?" God answered: "Hear O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one." Accept this commandment! Live by it and you will be free from all secondary causes. There is only one God. He is the father of us all who is above all, through all, and in all. He is a universally diffused individuality whose name forever and ever is I am. You may not be aware of who you are, what you are, or where you are; but by being aware, you are mentally saying I am. Every conscious being says I am; and if there is only one I am, then I am one individual - diffused! I am the sole cause of all that is. All things were made through imagining, and without awareness was not anything made that was made.
  74. Neville Lecture #74 The Roll of the Book 11/01/1968
    David, speaking to us in the 40th Psalm, says: "Lo, I come to do thy will, O Lord, for in the roll of the book it is written of me." And in 5th chapter of the Book of John these words are found on the lips of one called Jesus Christ: "You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and it is they that bear witness to me." Claiming the entire book is all about him, he begins with Moses, the law, the prophets, and the psalms, and interprets the scriptures as things concerning himself. You will find this method of interpretation the key which will unlock the innermost of revelations. Take any story and, regardless of whether the central figure is male or female, claim you are that being, that you are reading you own autobiography.
  75. Neville Lecture #75 No Other Foundation I 11/04/1968
    Defining Christ as God's power and wisdom, Paul makes this statement: "No other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Christ. If you build on it with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay or stubble, your work will become manifest. It will be revealed by the day. If the work survives, you will receive a reward. If it is destroyed, you will suffer loss; but you yourself will be saved, but only as through fire." Then he adds this thought: "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you?" (1 Cor. 3)
  76. Neville Lecture #88 Your Maker 02/07/1969
    Your maker is your husband, the Lord of Hosts is his name. By him all things are made, and although he is an unseen activity within you, without him is not anything made that is made. I ask you, as Paul asked the Corinthians, to examine yourselves to see if you are holding to your faith. To test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Chris is in you? – unless, of course, you fail to meet the test. I tell you: Jesus Christ is a power within you, which you must find and test. Paul didn't say that Jesus Christ made only the good, but everything - be it good, bad, or indifferent. And Blake said: "I know of no other Christianity and of no other gospel than the liberty both of body and mind to exercise the divine arts of Imagination. Imagination, the real and external world into which we will live [sic] when these vegetable, mortal bodies are no more. The apostles knew of no other gospel."
  77. Neville Lecture #89 The Incarnate Revelation 02/20/1969
    Recently I read a book called, Vanished Parts of Yesterday, by Lord Frederick Hamilton. In it he tells the story of Catherine the Great - who, when she found the first violet of spring, ordered a sentry to be placed over it to protect it from being plucked. Forgetting to rescind the order, day and night, summer and winter, a sentry stood where 150 years ago, a violet bloomed. The new generation did not know why the sentry was there and he didn't either. It was simply a tradition!

    Make sure no sentry is now standing on your lawn, keeping you from the word of God; for you void the word of God through the traditions of your fathers which have been handed down from generation to generation.

    Now, the spirit of truth comes to all who will accept it. And the incomplete form of the incarnate revelation will continue until the spirit of truth comes! It has come to this lady whose vision I would like to share with you now.
  78. Neville Lecture #95 The Game Of Life 03/07/1969
    The game of life, like every game, is played within the framework of certain rules, and any violation of those rules carries a penalty. You and I are playing this game from morning to night, and should therefore learn its rules in order to play it well.

    Ecclesiastes gives us this rule: "Even in your thought do not curse the king, or in your bed chamber curse the rich, for a bird will carry your voice or some winged creature tell the matter." And Mark gives us another, as: "Whatever you desire, believe that you have received it and you will." If you must believe you have received your desire in order to attain it, then you must start your game by believing it is finished. You must feel yourself into and partaking of your goal. And you must persist in that feeling in order to achieve it.
  79. Neville Lecture #102 Bear Ye One Another's Burdens 03/17/1969
    The Bible is the most practical book in the world. In it we are told that one named Simon carried the cross behind Jesus. The word "Simon" means "to hear with understanding and consent to what is heard." And Jesus is your own wonderful human imagination.

    The gospel tells what happens in the soul of Jesus. The events recorded there are seen and heard by none save but Him. Through these experiences He gains the certainty that He is not only the Son of God, but also God Himself. But when he tells his story few will accept it, as his experience of scripture differs greatly from its interpretation by the priests and rabbis. Simon, however, understands what he hears and, consenting to it, he carries the cross.
  80. Neville Lecture #107 True Forgiveness 04/18/1969
    Tonight we will take two aspects of the great mystery: true forgiveness, and the immortal eyes which see into eternity. "He said to them, 'When two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them.' Then Peter said, 'Lord, how often shall my brothers sin against me and I forgive them?' and the answer came, 'Seventy times seven.' "The art of forgiveness must be practiced daily, but first we must learn how to forgive. Repentance and faith are conditions of forgiveness, but true forgiveness is forgetfulness. Christianity and its doctrines make no sense to the worldly-wise, so why are people Christians? The promise that the dead will rise doesn't make sense to the mortal mind when the body is cremated and burned to ash; yet only by believing the story of redemption, can you truly forgive. You must learn to distinguish between the eternal human who occupies a state, and the state itself. This is the only means to forgiveness.
  81. Neville Lecture #108 Power Called "THE LAW” 04/21/1969
    Any presentation of a doctrine must show that it has specific reference to life now, as well as hereafter, for secularized man is far more concerned with the present than with the future. So, if you would interest anyone in the truth, you must first appeal to the power they can experience here and now; for the promise is so fantastic that if they heard it first they might turn away in disgust. Show them what they can do right here and now. Get their interest in the power called "The Law," and then perhaps they will desire to know of the promise.

    Let me share with you now a couple of stories a gentleman shared with me this week. He said: "About ten days ago my wife told me of a little girl only fourteen months old who had developed lumps on her neck [in] which - when the doctor removed and tested a lump - there were signs of cancer. Three specialists had been brought in and each separately had declared the child had cancer. Only one doctor, looking at the results questioned the verdict, but they were keeping the child in the hospital for further examination.
  82. Neville Lecture #114 All Things Are Possible 11/03/1967
    Jesus Christ is the true identity of every one! His name, forever and ever is I am! Therefore, when you say I am, you are declaring your true identity! Do you believe that all things are possible to someone called Jesus Christ, but not yourself? If you do it is because you do not know who you are!

    In 1929, believing Jesus Christ to be another, I stood in His presence. We embraced and I became the infinite love that I beheld, for at that moment I was incorporated into His body and became one with the Risen Lord.
  83. Neville Lecture #115 Spiritual Sensation 05/16/1969
    The Reverend Dr. Trusler saw the Bible as secular history, and criticized Blake, saying he needed someone to elucidate his ideas. Blake responded by saying: "You ought to know that what is Grand is necessarily obscure to Weak men. That which can be made Explicit to the Idiot is not worth my care. The wisest of the ancients considered what was not too Explicit as fittest for Instruction because it rouses the faculties to act. Why is the Bible more Entertaining and Instructive than any other book? Is it not because it is addressed to the Imagination, which is Spiritual Sensation, and only immediately to the Understanding or Reason."
  84. Neville Lecture #116 The Artist Is God 05/19/1969
    God is the great artist, and there is no artistry so lovely as that which perfects itself in the making of its image. God has but one consuming objective and that is to make you into his image, that you may reflect and radiate his glory. On this level however God exists as the human imagination, for the human imagination is the divine body called the Lord Jesus.

    On the highest level God's great artistry is concentrated on the making of his image; on this level he - as you - can do the same. A friend may say he would like to be a doctor; another friend wants to be a successful businessman, or a dancer. Every desire is an image. As the artist, lowered to this level, you can form images of your friends. And if you persist in your assumption, in time your friends will radiate and reflect your artistry.
  85. Neville Lecture #132 Believe it in 10/06/1969
    The objective reality of this world is solely produced by the human imagination, in which all things exist. Tonight I hope to show you how to subjectively appropriate that which already exists in you, and turn it into an objective fact. Your life is nothing more than the out picturing of your imaginal activity, for your imagination fulfills itself in what your life becomes.

    The last year that Robert Frost was with us, he was interviewed by Life Magazine and said: "Our founding fathers did not believe in the future, they believed it in." This is true. Having broken with England, our founding fathers could have established their own royalty here by making one of them the king, thereby perpetuating a royal family. They could have chosen a form of dictatorship, but they agreed to imagine a form of government that had not been tried since the days of the Greeks. Democracy is the most difficult form of government in the world, yet our founding fathers agreed to believe it in. They knew it would take place, because they knew the power of belief - the power I hope to show you that you are, tonight.
  86. Neville Lecture #147 The Heart Of The Dreamer 12/01/1969
    The Christian world calls this the season of Advent; the coming of the great event or person; the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Of course Paul, in his letter to the Galatians doesn’t condemn it, but wonders if they really got the message, saying: “I notice you observe days and months and seasons and years! I am afraid I have labored over you in vain.” There is nothing wrong with observing this season of the year, as long as you understand it as the coming of the great event or person.

    Tonight I will tell you what I know from experience, from which my conviction was born. I must, however, use certain imagery in order to explain it. so I ask that you follow me in your imagination. Your wonderful human imagination is a reproduction of the Divine Imagination. Think of the human imagination as brain cells in the mind of the dreamer, which Divine Imagination sent out to infinity for a divine purpose. These brain cells are destined to return, like a boomerang, right back into the center of Divine Imagination as the dreamer who is God the Father.
  87. Neville Lecture #207 The Book of Job 02/01/1963
    Tonight we will speak on the Book of Job, possibly the most misquoted book in the world. I dare say all day long you use passages, and you aren't aware you are misquoting this Book of Job. For no one knows who wrote the book. It bears the title of its hero, as do so many books of the Bible: the Book of Joshua, Nehemiah, Ezra, Daniel, Ruth - so many bear the name of the hero of the volume. That is the Book of Job. The word "Job," so claim the famous scholars, by analysis means: "Where is my father?" You and I have heard it as "the persecuted one," but the central point of the narrative is that Job was completely innocent - not guilty of any offense, but simply the victim of the most cruel experiment by God. The very last chapter reveals that it was all by God. Some scholar along the way, or some scribe, inserted some little story in the first chapter which is suspect, because they couldn't believe that God could do that to man. So they claim that a pact was made between Satan and God, and God allowed Satan to do it: Satan the accuser, Satan the doubter. But Satan disappears in the very first chapter and never reappears. He does in the second chapter just for a moment, but he doesn't in the forty-two chapters thereafter, not even in the epilogue. And so we know that the cruel experiment was by God.
  88. Neville Lecture #232 Feeling The Secret Of Life No Date
    Recently I asked a very successful business man his formula for success. He laughed and said. “I guess it’s just because I can’t conceive of failure. It’s more a feeling than anything else.” This gentleman’s statement coincides with my belief and experiments.

    You can think about something forever and never see it in your world, but once you feel its reality, you are bound to encounter it. The intensity of your feeling determines the time of its arrival.
  89. Neville Lecture #300 Foundation Stone - Imagination 12/01/1959
    We believe that man can create anything he desires. We believe the Universe is infinite response and the one who causes it is the individual perceiver. Nothing is independent of your perception of it. We are so interwoven we are part of the machine, but as we awake we detach ourselves from this machine and make life as we wish it to be. "For man is all Imagination and God is man and exists in us and we in him." "The eternal body of man is the Imagination: that is God himself." You can imagine and I can imagine, and if we can be faithful to the state imagined it must appear in our world. This is not new. This was given centuries ago, for we have it in the Bible; but people do not know how to read the Bible, so they got together and organized it into an "ism." It is not an "ism," but it is the great plan to free man. The Bible shows this plan in detail. We will turn to a few passages and show you what those who wrote it intended we should see.
  90. Neville Lecture #301 The Value of Dreams 11/06/1959
    Here we use the words "God," or "Christ," or "Imagination" interchangeably. They mean the same thing. If I use the word "God," because I am moved to use it, or the word "Christ," it is the same thing. It is the fundamental power that created and sustains the universe, and which, also sustains our environment. We are told there is a secret to the whole creation. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God, and by him were all things made, and without him was not anything made that was made." We could use the word "Imagination," but the secret here is "Word." What is the Word? Something was made that was made.
  91. Neville Lecture #302 The Cup and the Cross 06/16/1959
    We firmly believe here that Imagination creates reality. We believe that man is all Imagination and that God and man are one. There is no difference in nature; the difference, which we recognize, is in the degree of intensity of the operative center of imagining itself. We are keyed low. When keyed high, an imaginative act on our part would be an immediate objective fact but keyed low it must be realized in a time process, but it cannot fail, if we remember the act and remain faithful to that act. A man can be what he wants to be in this world. No matter what you have done you are one with God, and you are all Imagination.
  92. Neville Lecture #303 The Law 11/20/1959
    The whole vast world is no more than man's imagining pushed out. I must qualify that by saying that the world outside of man is dead, but man is a living soul and it responds to man, yet man is sound asleep and does not know it. The LORD God placed man in a profound sleep, and as he sleeps, the world responds as in a dream, for man does not know he is asleep. And then he moves from a state of sleep where he is only a living soul to an awakened state where he is a life-giving spirit. And now he can himself create, for everything is responding to an activity in man, which is Imagination. "The eternal body of man is all imagination; that is, God himself" (Blake).
  93. Neville Lecture #304 That Which Already Has Been 10/06/1959
    This platform is concerned only with the great secret of life. Here we are convinced that the Supreme Power that created and sustains the universe is Divine Imagining, and it does not differ from human imagination save in degree of intensity. So God-in-man is your wonderful Imagination; that is God. We tell you that Imagination creates Reality, but bear in mind that at this human level on earth it takes time and persistence. If we will persist in the image, live in it, sleep in it, breathe in it, it will crystallize into tangible form. Night after night we take different facets of this truly great secret, and as we turn to the greatest book on Imagination in the world, we treat it differently. So, as we turn to it, bear in mind that the Bible is addressed to the Imagination, not to the man of sense or the man of reason - the one that is "lost" or "dead" or "sound asleep."
  94. Neville Lecture #305 By Blood and Water 06/24/1956
    My subject this morning is taken from the First Epistle of John. Now these twenty-one letters (or as we call them, epistles) are not really addressed to individuals or groups. They are mysteries, as is the entire Bible. Whether the Bible in the Old Testament tells the story in the form of history, or whether they tell it in the form of a parable, or whether in the form of a letter, they are all revelations of the mind of God expressed in symbolism. Now, I do not claim that I can give you an exhaustive interpretation of any single story of the Bible. Because they are revelations of the mind of the Infinite, no single interpretation could ever be exhaustive. On one level it may be true, and then you and I expand in consciousness and we re-read the letter and see it differently, and a further expansion in consciousness causes us - even when we re-read it for the fiftieth time - to still see the letter in a different light. So in this morning's interpretation I will try to keep it on a level that is most practical.
  95. Neville Lecture #306 Release Barabbas and Crucify Jesus 10/17/1959
    As you know, we feel that life should be a perpetual increase of the things you love! That, to me is the art of living. In man's ability to live in the end, to live in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, lies man's capacity to live the more abundant life. I do not care what your objective is; feeling that you have it is living a more, abundant life. First, tonight, let us turn to three who were awake, and by three I mean three men. The whole purpose of life is to awaken and join the chorus of awakened humanity, which is God. We will turn to a great poet, one who passed from this sphere only within the last two or three years, Walter de La Mare.
  96. Neville Lecture #307 Feed My Sheep 07/01/1956
    This morning's subject is "Feed My Sheep." This is simply saying: practice the truths you have heard, for it means to shepherd the thoughts of the mind. For most of us, our thoughts are like rambling sheep that have no shepherd. We are called upon now to rule the thoughts, to rule the mind. As you know, the kingdom of heaven is as a man starting into a far country, and he calls unto himself his servants and gives them his property, his goods. To one he gives five talents, to another he gives two, and to another he gives one - "every man according to his several ability." And when he returned he asked for a reckoning. The one who had five traded and produced another five. He was highly commended and told as he was faithful over a few things he would now be ruler over many. The one who had two, he too traded and produced four, and he too was highly commended and told to enter into the joy of the Lord. But the one who had one was afraid because his master - so he thought - was a hard man, and so he buried his talent in the earth and did not expand it. But I think you know the story. He was condemned for his misuse of the talent. It was taken from him and given to the one who had the most, the one who had ten.
  97. Neville Lecture #308 Worship the Creator Not the Creature 11/10/1959
    Here we believe firmly that imagining is God, that the Supreme Power of the Universe is one with human imaging. So when you read the Bible - a fabulous, inspired book - and you come to the word "God," you can also use the word "imagining" and you will get a clearer understanding of it.
  98. Neville Lecture #309 Fawcetts Letter 09/22/1959
    This platform is concerned only with Imaginism. We believe the Supreme Power that created the universe is all Imagination. We believe that man is all Imagination, and this Supreme Power we call God exists in us and we in it, that our eternal body is Imagination - that is, God himself. And I mean that literally. So we will turn now to the greatest book in the world, the Bible - which is addressed to the real man, who is all Imagination, not to the "natural" man or the one you see daily reflected in the mirror. For, like my Father, I am spirit, and I, the spiritual man, have neither face, form, nor figure. I must come to understand my own invisibility, for when I fully understand that, I am awake. But I will express myself in form forever and forever. This universe, vast as it seems, is only a part, for there are worlds within worlds. This platform is to encourage you to test it and create reality. You can create the conditions of your own world.
  99. Neville Lecture #310 The Art of Dying 03/23/1959
    If you are with us for the first time, this is what we believe and teach here. We firmly believe that you, the individual, can realize your every dream, and the reason is that God and man are one. We believe that the difference is not in the mentality with which we operate, but only in the degrees of intensity of the operant power itself, and that we call human Imagination.
  100. Neville Lecture #311 The Bread and the Wine 09/25/1959
    When we say that the supreme power that created the universe is the same power that is resident in man, people question that statement. Possibly everyone here owns a Bible, and when you go to court as a witness - say you are called to swear that you will tell the truth - and to swear you put your hand on the Bible, or the Word of God. Then you open the Bible and read: "Whatsoever things you desire, believe that you have them…and you shall receive them. And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have aught against your brother, so that your Father in heaven may even so forgive you." You put your hand on the book of truth and swear to tell the truth, and here is this statement in this very book on which you swear, and you don't believe it. It is true. It is based on the statement: Imagination creates reality, for the Bible is addressed to the real man, Imagination. "For the Eternal body of man is The Imagination; that is God himself." (Blake)
  101. Neville Lecture #312 House On the Strip 11/24/1959
    On this platform we believe that God is all Imagination and God is man (spiritual man, not the garment of skin he wears). Therefore man is all Imagination. We believe also that God, being the only creator, and God being man, then we are creators, that life itself is an activity of Imagination. The whole world in which we live is a world of Imagination. Tonight we hope to show it in such a manner that you will be encouraged to go out and prove it. Everyone can become what he or she desires to be, yet the real being is invisible and you see only its manifestation, for God is spirit, therefore man is spirit, and when we speak of spirit we mean imagining.
  102. Neville Lecture #313 The Story of Judas 12/04/1959
    We tell you here that we believe you can be what you want to be in this world and that it is my purpose to tell you. If I have moments in my life I regret it, not in the sense of a change of mind as in the word repent, still I must tell you. I may have moments of regret that you have misused this power for any purpose, yet it is better that you misuse it, rather than not to use it. How many times one feels concerned at the misuse of this principle. Yet it is better to misuse it than to bury it, for even by the misuse we learn, though painfully. In the story of the talents it was only the one who did not use it that was condemned.
  103. Neville Lecture #314 The Seven Eyes of God 06/11/1959
    …we must go on to higher and higher levels, for that is the purpose of the teacher. I would like to look tonight into what it is to my mind, the greatest book in the world, the Bible, and show you a section with which you may not be familiar. It concerns the Seven Eyes of God, from the visions of Zechariah. He saw a stone with seven facets, and the Voice said, this is actually the seven eyes of God that reach over the entire world. For these seven eyes are really in man, for man is the earth of God. So forget this little planet and know that man is the true earth in which God is planted. These are the seven visions of God, seven increasingly clarifying visions of the Creator. The Bible names them but you must look for them.
  104. Neville Lecture #316 Seedtime and Harvest 06/10/1956
    As you have been told, this morning's subject is "Seedtime and Harvest." Although it bears the same title as my latest book, it is not to be found in that book, for that book is an attempt to interpret some of the more difficult passages of the Bible. I have given you in the nine chapters a mystical view, and also a certain approach on how you yourself may approach the interpretation of the Bible, for, as you know, it is not a book of history. And so, when I became aware of deeper meanings in the passages than those normally assigned to them, I began to see them or to apprehend them mystically. So I have given you a mystical interpretation of many of the darker passages. For instance, when Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon, he made himself - no one made it for him. That's what you and I must do - and in that chapter, I showed you the wood is not wood, as you know wood. It means the wood of Lebanon is the incorruptible mind. But you make it for yourself, and we showed you the sides - what they were made of, and what the meanings really are.
  105. Neville Lecture #319 Sound Investments 07/12/1955
    Today's subject is "Sound Investments." I want to share with you today what I consider one of the truly great revelations of all time. On Sunday morning, April 12th, my wife woke from what was a really deep, profound sleep and as she was waking a voice distinctly spoke to her; and the voice spoke to her; and the voice spoke with great authority and it said to her "You must stop spending your thoughts, your time and your money; everything in life must be an investment." So she quickly wrote it down and went straight to the dictionary to look up the two important words in the sentence, 'spending' and 'investing': the dictionary defines 'spending' as "to waste, to squander, to lay out without return." To 'invest' is to "lay out for a purpose, for which a profit is expected."
  106. Neville Lecture #324 The Pruning Shears of Revision 08/08/1954
    This Lecture was mentioned on Page 73 of The Secret Book

    This morning's subject is The Pruning Shears of Revision. I firmly believe that if you will wisely and daily use the pruning shears of revision that you will find there is no objective beyond your ability to realize. And I mean that seriously, no objective beyond your ability to realize. When I was a boy of seven, a lady said to me, "I have had a vision concerning you. I'll make it now very, very clear to you - I do not know what it is you are going to do, but I've been shown you will do something that through the centuries after you are gone, man will not undo it. I can see it and through the centuries you will grow in stature long after you have gone. And then three men will be mentioned in hundreds of years to come and you will be one of the three when something is discussed that was done for man."
  107. Neville Radio Lecture #01 Be What You Wish Be What You Believe 07/1951
    A newspaperman related to me that our great scientist, Robert Millikan, once told him that he had set a goal for himself at an early age when he was still very poor and unproven in the great work he was to do in the future. He condensed his dream of greatness and security into a simple statement, which statement, implied that his dream of greatness and security was already realized. Then he repeated the statement over and over again to himself until the idea of greatness and security filled his mind and crowded all other ideas out of his consciousness. These may not have been the words of Dr. Millikan but they are those given to me and I quote, "I have a lavish, steady, dependable income, consistent with integrity and mutual benefit." As I have said repeatedly, everything depends upon our attitude towards ourselves. That which we will not affirm as true of ourselves cannot develop in our life. Dr. Millikan wrote his dream of greatness and security in the first person, present tense. He did not say, "I will be great; I will be secure," for that would have implied that he was not great and secure. Instead, he made his future dream a present fact. "I have," said he, "a lavish, steady, dependable income, consistent with integrity and mutual benefit."
  108. Neville Radio Lecture #02 By Imagination We Become 07/1951
    How many times have we heard someone say, "Oh, it's only his imagination?" Only his imagination - man's imagination is the man himself. No man has too little imagination, but few men have disciplined their imagination. Imagination is itself indestructible. Therein lies the horror of its misuse. Daily, we pass some stranger on the street and observe him muttering to himself, carrying on an imaginary argument with one not present. He is arguing with vehemence, with fear or with hatred, not realizing that he is setting in motion, by his imagination, an unpleasant event which he will presently encounter.
  109. Neville Radio Lecture #03 Answered Prayer 07/1951
    Have you ever had a prayer answered? What wouldn't men give just to feel certain that when they pray, something definite would happen. For this reason, I would like to take a little time to see why it is that some prayers are answered and some apparently fall on dry ground. "When ye pray, believe that ye receive, and ye shall receive." Believe that ye receive - is the condition imposed upon man. Unless we believe that we receive, our prayer will not be answered. A prayer - granted - implies that something is done in consequence of the prayer which otherwise would not have been done. Therefore, the one who prays is the spring of action - the directing mind - and the one who grants the prayer. Such responsibility man refuses to assume, for responsibility it seems, is mankind's invisible nightmare.
  110. Neville Radio Lecture #04 Meditation 07/1951
    Many people tell me they cannot meditate. This seems to me a bit like saying they cannot play the piano after one attempt. Meditation, as in every art or expression, requires constant practice for perfect results. A truly great pianist, for instance, would feel he could not play his best if he missed one day of practice. If he missed a week or a month of practice he would know that even his most uninitiated audience would recognize his defects. So it is with meditation. If we practice daily with joy in this daily habit, we perfect it as an art. I find that those who complain of the difficulty in meditation do not make it a daily practice, but rather, wait until something pressing appears in their world and then, through an act of will, try to fix their attention on the desired state. But they do not know that meditation is the education of the will, for when will and imagination are in conflict, imagination invariably wins.
  111. Neville Radio Lecture #05 The Law of Assumption 07/1951
    The great mystic, William Blake, wrote almost two hundred years ago, "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." Now, at first, this mystical gem seems a bit involved, or at best to be a play on words; but it is nothing of the kind. Listen to it carefully. "What seems to be, is, to those to whom it seems to be." That is certainly clear enough. It is a simple truth about the law of assumption, and a warning of the consequences of its misuse. The author of the Epistle to the Romans declared in the fourteenth chapter, "I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclearn."
  112. Neville Radio Lecture #06 Truth 07/1951
    I wish to ask each one of you listening to me today a question - a question which must be close to the hearts of us all concerning truth. If a man known to you as a murderer broke into your home and asked the whereabouts of your mother, would you tell him where she was? Would you tell him the truth? Would you? I venture not - I hope not. In the most mystical of the Gospels - in the Gospel of St. John we read, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Therein lies a challenge to us all, "The truth shall make you free." If you told the truth concerning your mother, would you set her free? Again, in John we read, "Sanctify them by the truth." If you gave your mother up to a murderer, would you "sanctify her?" What, then, is the truth of which the Bible so constantly speaks? The truth of the Bible is always coupled with love. The truth of the Bible is that spiritual realization of conscious life in God towards which the human soul evolves through all eternity.
  113. Neville Radio Lecture #07 Stone Water or Wine 07/1951
    It has been my privilege and pleasure to address Dr. Frederick Bailes' Sunday audiences in the past few years. Today, I am to extend the privilege in speaking to you, his unseen audience of the radio. This will be a very practical series of talks for my subjects will be drawn largely from the Bible, the most spiritual of all books. And I am firmly convinced that whatever is most profoundly spiritual is, in reality, most directly practical. All mistakes made in Biblical interpretation come from referring statements of which the intention is spiritual and mystical, and implying principles or states to times, persons or places. In one sense, not one work of Scripture is true according to the letter. Yet, I say that every word is true; but the Scriptures are true only as He intended them that spoke them; they are true as God meant them, not as man will have them. A spiritual and symbolical interpretation alone yields truth, whilst a literal acceptation profits nothing. The Bible contains historical elements, but these are always used as picture language of great ideas.
  114. Neville Radio Lecture #08 Feeling is the Secret 07/1951
    Recently, I asked a very successful businessman his formula for success. He laughed and was a little embarrassed. Then he replied, "I guess it's just because I can't conceive of failure. It's nothing that I think about much. It's more a feeling that I have." His statement coincided completely with my own beliefs and experiments. We can think about something forever and never see it in our world, but once let us feel its reality, and we are bound to encounter it. The more intensely we feel, the sooner we will encounter it. We all regard feelings far too much as effects, and not sufficiently as causes of the events of the day. Feeling is not only the result of our conditions of life, it is also the creator of those conditions. We say we are happy because we are well, not realizing that the process will work equally well in the reverse direction. We are well because we are happy. We are all far too undisciplined in our feelings. To be joyful for another is to bless ourselves as well as him. To be angry with another is to punish ourselves for his fault. The distressed mind stays at home though the body travels to the ends of the earth, while the happy mind travels though the body remains at home.
  115. Neville Radio Lecture #09 Affirm the Reality of Our Own Greatness 07/1951
    In the creation of a new way of life, we must begin at the beginning, with our own individual regeneration. The formation of organizations, political bodies, religious bodies, social bodies is not enough. The trouble we see goes deeper than we perceive. The essential revolution must happen within ourselves. Everything depends on our attitude towards ourself - that which we will not affirm within ourself can never develop in our world. This is the religion by which we live, for religion begins in subjective experience, like charity, it begins at home.
  116. Neville Radio Lecture #10 Good Friday – Easter 1954
    You know the story of Good Friday. A man is in a garden. It's night time. And one called Judas comes in search of him, seemingly to betray him. He comes into the garden, and it's dark, so he asks the simple question, "Where is Jesus?" Then the voice in the dark answered, "I AM HE." We are told in the story they all fell to the ground. When they regained their composure they asked the same question, "Where is Jesus?" Again the voice answered, "I have told you that I AM HE." This time Judas kisses him and the voice said to him, "Now that you have found me, let all else go, but do not let Me go, and what you have to do, do quickly." Then Judas goes out and commits suicide.
  117. Neville Radio Lecture #11 Every Natural Effect
    Every natural effect has a spiritual cause and not a natural. A natural cause only seems. It is a delusion of the perishing, vegetable memory. We do not remember these moments in time when we imagined certain states. So when that imaginal state takes form so we can see it with the outer eye, we do not recognize our own harvest and deny that we had anything to do with these natural effects that are taking place in our world. Because our memory is faulty, we do not remember. "There is a moment in every day," said Blake, "that Satan cannot find, nor can his watch fiends find it. But the industrious find this moment and it multiply and when it once is found, it renovates every moment of the day if rightly placed."
  118. Neville Radio Lecture #12 Fulfillment of God’s Plan
    I think you're all aware that this is the most dramatic week in Christendom and yet I dare say that not an nth part of one percent of those who call themselves Christians really understand what it is all about. It's the story of the fulfillment of God's purpose. That's the week, the triumphant march into Jerusalem, the crucifixion and then the resurrection. And it's told as though it took place on earth. That's how the story is told. For as Tennyson said, "Truth embodied in a tale shall enter in at lowly doors." So, man cannot think abstractly so it's told in the form of a story. And man has mistaken the story for the reality. Let us now look to see who the one is spoken of in scripture. They say his name is Jesus. You may not believe me but I'll tell you who Jesus is. Say, "I Am," that's Jesus. Don't say, I am man or John or Peter or anything, just I Am. That's Jesus. That's God. That's the Lord God Jehovah. The crucifixion is already over. It was in the beginning of time, a deliberate act on the part of God - all over. The resurrection took place and is taking place and will continue until everyone is awake. So, you say, "I Am," that's Jesus.
  119. Neville Lecture Lesson #01 Consciousness is the Only Reality 1948
    This is going to be a very practical course. Therefore, I hope that everyone in this class has a very clear picture of what he desires, for I am convinced that you can realize your desires by the technique you will receive here this week in these five lessons. That you may receive the full benefit of these instructions, let me state now that the Bible has no reference at all to any persons who ever existed or to any event that ever occurred upon earth. The ancient story tellers were not writing history but an allegorical picture lesson of certain basic principles which they clothed in the garb of history, and they adapted these stories to the limited capacity of a most uncritical and credulous people.
  120. Neville Lecture Lesson #02 Assumptions Harden Into Fact 1948
    This Bible of ours has nothing to do with history. Some of you may yet be inclined tonight to believe that, although we can give it a psychological interpretation, it still could be left in its present form and be interpreted literally. You cannot do it. The Bible has no reference at all to people or to events as you have been taught to believe. The sooner you begin to rub out that picture the better. We are going to take a few stories tonight, and again I am going to remind you that you must re-enact all of these stories within your own mind. Bear in mind that although they seem to be stories of people fully awake, the drama is really between you, the sleeping one, the deeper you, and the conscious waking you. They are personified as people, but when you come to the point of application you must remember the importance of the drowsy state.
  121. Neville Lecture Lesson #03 Thinking Fourth-Dimensionally 1948
    There are two actual outlooks on the world possessed by every man, and the ancient story tellers were fully conscious of these two outlooks. They called the one “the carnal mind,” and the other “the mind of Christ.” We recognize these two centers of thought in the statement: “The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14
  122. Neville Lecture Lesson #04 No One to Change but Self 1948
    May I take just a minute to clarify what was said last night. A lady felt from what I said last night that I am anti one nation. I do hope that I am not anti any nation, race or belief. If perchance I used a nation, it was only to illustrate a point. What I tried to tell you was this – we become what we contemplate. For it is the nature of love, as it is the nature of hate, to change us into the likeness of that which we contemplate. Last night I simply read a news item to show you that when we think we can destroy our image by breaking the mirror, we are only fooling ourselves. When, through war or revolution, we destroy titles which to us represent arrogance and greed, we become in time the embodiment of that which we thought we had destroyed. So today the people who thought they destroyed the tyrants are themselves that which they thought they had destroyed.
  123. Neville Lecture Lesson #05 Remain Faithful to Your Ideal 1948
    Tonight we have the fifth and last lesson in this course. First I shall give you a sort of summary of what has gone before. Then, since so many of you have asked me to elaborate further on Lesson 3, I shall give you a few more ideas on thinking fourth-dimensionally. I know that when a man sees a thing clearly he can tell it, he can explain it. This past winter in Barbados a fisherman, whose vocabulary would not encompass a thousand words, told me more in five minutes about the behavior of the dolphin than Shakespeare with his vast vocabulary could have told me, if he did not know the habits of the dolphin. This fisherman told me how the dolphin loves to play on a piece of drift-wood, and in order to catch him, you throw the wood out and bait him as you would bait children, because he likes to pretend he is getting out of the water. As I said, this man’s vocabulary was very limited, but he knew his fish, and he knew the sea. Because he knew his dolphin he could tell me all about their habits and how to catch them.
  124. Neville Lecture 421 IF YOU REALLY CAN BELIEVE 06.15.1970
    I trust that you will find tonight’s message a very practical one, because today there are so many reading the paper and believing what they see and what they hear on radio and TV about the depression and the recession and this, that and the other. Now tonight let me tell you Who-You-Are.

    We are told in Scripture - this is the 19th chapter, the 26th verse, of Matthew: “With God all things are possible.” Then we are told in the earliest Gospel, the book of Mark, the 9th chapter, the 23rd verse: “All things are possible to him who believes.”

    Divine Imagining has no restrictions placed upon it. Human im­agining has one restriction placed upon it to believe. “All things are possible to him who believes.” So they equate man - he is speak­ing of you with God, but on this level it is believing. Can you believe it? There is no other limitation, other than man’s capacity to believe what he has imagined. “All things are possible to him who believes.” So, the only restriction placed upon man is his ability to believe what his reason, what his senses, deny - that’s all. No other restriction.
  125. Neville Lecture 425 THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY 04.02.1971
    You should find tonight a very practical night - something that you can test - take it tonight and prove it. We’ll take it from Scripture, but something first with which, I think, you are all familiar. If you took a piece of steel that is magnetized, it does not differ in substance from the demagnetized piece of steel - only in the arrangement of its molecules.

    The rich man, the poor man, the beggar man, the thief are not different minds, but simply different arrangements of the same mind. There is only God in this world. So, when you say, “I am,” and I say, “I am,” it’s the same God, but we have arranged the structure of our mind differently. We have different concepts of Self - that’s all. But not one is better because he is richer than the one who is poor; these are only different arrangements of the structure of the mind.
  126. Neville Lecture 432 CONTROL YOUR INNER CONVERSATIONS 04.26.1971
    The whole manifested world goes to show us what use we have made of God's gift. Receiving the gift does not mean that we are going to use it wisely, but we have the gift. Everyone has the gift, and the world simply reflects the use of that gift.

    In "The Merchant of Venice," Shakespeare puts these words into the mouth of Portia, "If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches and poor men's cottages princes' palaces. It is a good divine who follows his own instructions. I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done than to be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching."

    So, you and I have been given a gift. To what use have we put it? In a book written in the first century, written at the time of our Gospel - it's called the Hermetica, and this is a translation by Walter Scott. It is a wonderful series of four volumes, and in this he says, "There are two gifts that God has given to man alone, and to no other mortal creature, and these two gifts are Mind and Speech. And the gifts of Mind and Speech are essential and identical with Immortality. If they are used rightly, man will not differ in any respect from the immortals, and when he quits the body, these two still will be his guide and they will lead him into the troop of the gods and to the souls that have attained to bliss."
  127. Neville Lecture 441 THE DWELLER ON THE THRESHOLD 06.14.1971
    Only that which has no right to live must die, and only that which has no right to exist must be brought to an end.

    And that hasn't a thing to do with any child born of woman, or any flower that ever bloomed. It's something entirely different from what the world would suspect, for you and I have been given the greatest gift in the world.

    "God became as we are, that we may be as He is."
    [Wm. Blake, from "Jerusalem"]


    In that, we were given complete freedom to misuse the gift of God! And that is His Power.
  128. Neville Lecture 445 CATCH THE MOOD No Date
    You will find tonight's message a very practical one. I don't think it will disturb anyone, but there are adjustments to be made concerning what man believes God to be, and what God really is. We are told in Scripture, in the birth of the twins, which begins the great drama as told in Scripture, "In your limbs…" and I am speaking now, not of anyone, but of you individually:

    "In your limbs lie nations twain,
    rival races from their birth;
    one the mastery will gain,
    the younger o'er the elder reign."
    (Genesis 25:23, Moffatt translation)

    These are in you individually. We are told that the younger, which naturally is the second - the "second man" - is the Lord from Heaven. That's the Second Man; He sleeps in you. You will rouse Him, and He will become the Master. He will reign.

  129. Neville Lecture 455 THE FLOOD IS STILL UPON US No Date
    I think you're all aware that this is the most dramatic week in Christendom and yet I dare say that not an nth part of one percent of those who call themselves Christians really understand what it is all about. It's the story of the fulfillment of God's purpose. That's the week, the triumphant march into Jerusalem, the crucifixion and then the resurrection. And it's told as though it took place on earth. That's how the story is told. For as Tennyson said, "Truth embodied in a tale shall enter in at lowly doors." So, man cannot think abstractly so it's told in the form of a story. And man has mistaken the story for the reality. Let us now look to see who the one is spoken of in scripture. They say his name is Jesus. You may not believe me but I'll tell you who Jesus is. Say, "I Am," that's Jesus. Don't say, I am man or John or Peter or anything, just I Am. That's Jesus. That's God. That's the Lord God Jehovah. The crucifixion is already over. It was in the beginning of time, a deliberate act on the part of God - all over. The resurrection took place and is taking place and will continue until everyone is awake. So, you say, "I Am," that's Jesus.
  130. Neville Lecture 456 THE IDENTICAL HARVEST No Date
    I am quite sure you are going to find this an interesting series. Tonight it is "The Law of the Identical Harvest." In the very beginning, God established the Law of the Identical Harvest.

    And God said, "Let the earth put forth vegetation: Plants bearing seed and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, and it was so." (Genesis 1:24)

    Now we are warned, "Do not be deceived, for God is not mocked. As a man sows, so shall he reap." (Galatians 6:7)

    So, do not try for one moment to deceive yourself. All that is taking place in your world; you planted. There is only one Planter in the world, and the Planter is God, but man looks for God outside of himself, and we are warned that He is within us.
