Neville Goddard Lectures: “Invisible Things”

So tonight, you will find this most practical, right down to earth. You simply, this night, single out a simple, simple objective. It may be a fantastic thing, but you make it simple, because you trust God. Not a thing is difficult to God…and yet you and he are one. But you’re doing it and seeing it from a higher level. Remember every thing is easy from the higher level; it simply appears on this level. When it appears it seems so natural that you might say to yourself, “Well, it would have happened anyway.” But it would not have happened. It couldn’t happen without a cause, and the cause was the Word that you sent. You do all kinds of things, and all of a sudden you turn to him. Every one of us forgets— not just little Lynn…to be reminded by her father three times in a day—every one forgets. The teachers forget. No matter how big they are in the eyes of the world, they forget the one and only God. And that fundamental sin is lack of faith in “I am he.” That’s what we’re taught. The moment I forget it I go astray.

Now, the phone rang twice today, many times, really, but two most important calls, total strangers. I said I’m closing on the 25th, put my affairs in order and go, get my tickets and go. Only forty-eight hours ago I did what I’m telling you to do. Instead of trying to arrange them here, seeing that things are in order here, talking to this one and that one, “Would you do this in my absence, would you do that?” and all these things, just simply turned within, not to one person in this world, as though I talked to another but there was no other, trusting this presence implicitly, knowing all along it was myself, in self-communion. So, I just simply assumed within myself that the whole thing was done. This morning the bank called, “We have a draft for you for a considerable amount.” Alright, I ___(??) nothing. This is not the time for it, but they had it for me. Came home, having put it in my bank, phone rang again. It’s BOAC, “We were notified to notify you that tickets are waiting here for you at your pleasure. Come in and get them. You can go today, tomorrow, next month, go when you want.” The only one to whom I turned was myself. I did not turn to anyone to put anything in order. So out of the blue…and one does not depend upon the other—the most generous dividend is independent of tickets—that’s a gift.

So I say, everyone in this world is serving. All you need do is trust this inner communion. It’s yourself…this whole vast world is yourself pushed out. So when I say all things exist in the human Imagination, I mean that literally. All things are going to exist there; they begin and end there, but everything. And you, you are all Imagination, and you and God are one. And you gradually move from a God of tradition to a God of experience; moving from a God of tradition where your fathers taught you of a God on the outside to find him on the inside. And the Jesus of history is your ability to simply take the Word and form it into meaning, commune with it, and send it on its way in complete confidence that it’s done. And it’s done. So the invisible things of him are clearly seen by the things that are made. I know from what I am seeing what I must have sent on the way, and somewhere, wisely or unwisely, I constructed it and then sent it on its way. So I say to every one of you here tonight, don’t let anyone tell you that you are less than someone else, that you are a young soul, that you are this, that and the other. As you are seated here and you say “I am,” that’s God. Believe it.
