Neville Goddard Lectures: “Revelation”

World of nature. Night after night, I teach and tell the story of him who comes from above this world of nature.
If you are here for the first time, it may seem strange, but you take it to heart and you dwell upon it and you will find it in the end far more practical than all the things that our scientists can give you. Well, this is revelation. I did not come by it through reason, it was all revealed to me. And the vast difference between revealed truth and science. Revealed truth is wisdom as defined in the Scripture. Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. Science is knowledge based upon experiments, and we’ve done a wonderful job in the world of science. But what I’ve been sent to tell you is not science. It’s simply revelation. The revelation of him who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. There’s no change in this being of whom I speak. He’s called in Scripture, Jesus Christ, which is the Father and the Son. Jesus is the Lord and Christ, his Son.
Jesus is the, I am, in man. His Son, when you meet him, is personified and you will know him: the eternal youth, David. After 3,000 years, he hasn’t aged one iota. If you knew of one and you take it as a chronological story and you know that he lived 1,000 B.C., you would expect an old, old, old person. And yet I tell you, when you meet him, he is the youth, the eternal youth, in his themes, and that is David. Have no concept about, “Will I know him?” Oh, you will know him, because he never changes. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That’s why you’ll know him. You will know Jesus because you will be Jesus. As you are told in John, that is the First Epistle of John, it does not get a prayer, what we shall be but we know that when he appears, we shall know him because we shall be like him. You will be the being called Jesus and Jesus is the Lord. And you will know him only when his son David, the eternal youth, reveals you as his Father, for David is the Son of the Lord.
Now, last night, as is my custom when my wife and I are separated either if I’m traveling or if she, as it is today, is in the hospital, I invariably call her and give her a thought for meditation for the night.* That is my habit. And so, having called her last night around eight, she can’t speak but I asked for the floor and the head nurse and gave her just a thought and the thought was, “My state passes out, endures forever. Guess who I am?” And then I didn’t say a thing. My wife would know exactly who called. I said to the nurse. “Go in and read this to her because she cannot speak to you, just go in and read it to her.” And then I sat down next to my radio and turned on some lovely music. And then I took a theme, for as you are told, night brings council. And that’s the proverb of all nations throughout the ages. If I instill my mind with something, then the night should in some way unfold it to me. And so, I took as my theme, those who sing my fall into division and my regeneration to unity. My generation into decay and death and my regeneration into this immortal state. I fall into division and I’m regenerated into unity. Well, during the night I had this discourse, there were, oh, quite a few of us, as many, say, as we have here.
