Neville Goddard Lectures: “Jesus Only”

Now, don’t put this in the closet until I get back in November. This is something to live by. Religion should be practiced and we don’t practice religion by simply going to church and listening to whatever the minister has to say, ___(??) lovely as they are. And I’m all for it, perfectly fine, but that’s not practicing religion. Practicing religion is living it every moment of time while we’re here, and you practice it best by practicing repentance. Listen to the words, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the good news, believe in the gospel.” But repent. And repentance tests man’s ability to enter into and partake of the nature of the opposite. And so I am, and I name it. But I don’t like it. Well now, can I persuade myself that I am exactly what I would like to be, which is opposed by what I seemingly am? Then I persuade myself that I really am what I would like to be. That tests my ability, my Imagination, to do such a thing. But can I do it? Well, try it.

Can I, while sitting here physically, assume that I am elsewhere, if I want to be elsewhere, when there’s no way to that other place? No money to take you there, no time to allow it, but nothing. Well, can I assume that I am, knowing that something will change in my world if it’s a radical change to allow this journey to take place within you? And I’ll make it across this world. Well, try it. I have tried it and it works. I’ve tried it so that now I don’t allow myself to experiment if I am not serious. Because, if I do it just for exercise and I don’t do it with something I really want to realize, the being I really am doesn’t forget it. They’ll teach me lessons and bring it to pass when I least expect it and don’t want it. So, I only experiment with serious things, things I really want to bring to pass. And I tell you it won’t fail you, but you are the operant power. It doesn’t work by itself; you have to operate it.

And so, I tell you, you are Jesus. Let no one tell you that you are not. There’s only Jesus in the world. Yet he’s housed in every being, even those who said there is no God, in every being in the world. Those who call themselves atheists and are proud of it, he’s housed in them or they couldn’t even breathe. Nothing in the world could breathe and live were it not that Jesus is buried within him, in the sepulcher of his own wonderful skull; and there he remains while he goes through all the pains of the world to awaken himself as that individual. So you’ll understand the words at the grand transfiguration. When they looked up, Moses was there, Elijah was there, one personifying the law and one personifying the promise. And then came the awakening on the part of the disciples and then there was only Jesus, Jesus only. He had fulfilled it all, fulfilled the promise, having fulfilled it, Jesus only. And so, you are destined to awaken, completely awaken, as God.

Now let us go into the Silence.
