Read these 8 lectures in order — they carry this idea most heavily, earliest first. After each one, take the suggested question to the mentor, who answers from Neville's own words.
The Law and the Promise (1961)
1961…“Oh, let your strong imagination turn the great wheel backward, until Troy unburn.” [— (Sir) John Collings Squire, “The Birds”] “All life is, throughout the ages, nothing but the continuing solution of a continuous synthetic problem.” — H. G. Wells The perfectly stable or static state is always unattainable. The end attained objectively always realizes more than the end the individual originally h…
Awakened Imagination (1954)
1954…THE PRUNING SHEARS OF REVISION The second Man is the Lord from Heaven. 1Corinthians 15:47 Never will he say caterpillars. He’ll say, “There’s a lot of butterflies-as-is-to-be on our cabbages, Pure.” He won’t say, “It’s winter.” He’ll say, “Summer’s sleeping.” “And there’s no bud little enough nor sad-coloured enough for Kester not to callen it the beginnings of the blow.” Mary Webb, Precious Bane …
Where Are You From
December 3, 1963…But the churches have put barnacles on it, and they teach us to be remorseful, to be regretful; and to this very day you turn on the radio or the TV, they are still talking of the event that should not have happened. They all sit in judgment of God. And here is the whole grand wonderful play unfolding. When one really sees it in the end, and when one completely awakes, he, too, will be able to say…
Neville Goddard Lectures: “They Did Not Die”
April 28, 1964…For he’s preparing me a feast, and what is the food? When he was asked, “Haven’t you eaten?” he said, “I have food you know not of. My food is to do the will of him that sent me, his plan, his purpose” (John 4:32,34). I am feeding upon his plan, his purpose. I am so inflamed with this plan of expanding my creative power that I swoon and appear to others as though I am drunk; which is now repeated …
Neville Goddard Lectures: “God’s Law”
April 9, 1965…So I know today, though I can’t control it a hundred percent, that nothing in my world that I perceive is completely independent of my perception of it. Were it independent of my perception of it, I couldn’t forgive. Then that line would be broken as we read it in the Book of Matthew. So when we read in that 18th chapter, the 18th verse of Matthew, “He who receives you, receives me; and he who rec…
Neville Goddard Lectures: “All Things Exist in the Human Imagination”
May 24, 1968…Now there is one from a lady who is present, she said, “I found myself looking at a building, an enormous building, on the edge of a vast body of water. Whether it was a river or a lake or an ocean I do not know, but there I was looking at the building, and you held your classes in this building. A man said to me, ‘How do you cross the water to attend these classes?’ and I said—pointing at another…
Neville Goddard Lectures: “Imagination, the Real Man”
June 21, 1968…Now he said, “Certain things in my life I’m not completely satisfied, not satisfied, I don’t quite understand them.” Now he said, “I had a…this past Sunday really…I am in the yard with my wife and my younger son, and we are planting summer flowers to replace the dead ones of the winter. Suddenly I look at my wife, I look at my son, and I am seeing and hearing in detail, word for word, scene for sc…
The Son Revealed
July 24, 1969…So if any man should even say, —Look, this is Christ,“ or, —Look, there he is,“ do not believe it. (See Matthew 24:23) There is no being in this world you could even point to and say, —There is the Christ.“ So when people speak of waiting for the coming of Christ as something external to themselves, as the Billy Graham said the other day –and he is waiting because now the time is on us and this is…
