Neville Goddard Lectures: “Whatever You Believe And Persist In Will Come To Pass”

12 Feb Neville Goddard Lectures: “Whatever You Believe And Persist In Will Come To Pass”

11/3/67

Summary and notes: According to the text, the nails that were used to crucify Jesus Christ are not actual nails, but rather vortices. The vortices are located on different parts of the body, including the head, hands, feet, and side. The six vortices are said to form a six-pointed star, known as the Star of David or the Mogen David. He explains that the crucifixion is not what the world believes it to be. Instead, it is the most ecstatic experience that one can imagine, and the nails are actually vortices. The event happened at the beginning of time and the memory of it is described in the 42nd chapter of the Book of Psalms. He explains that the being that we are is the cosmic Christ, who is nailed to the crosses of humanity. This is represented by the six-pointed Star of David. The ecstasy of the experience of crucifixion is beyond words, but after it, there is a complete forgetfulness, and we come into this world nailed to these crosses. However, at a predestined moment in time, we are born from above, and the whole state unfolds within us, and we then know who Christ is.

Now, if I said to you that whatever you believe, if you persist in it, it will come to pass, that all things are possible to him who believes, would you believe it? So if you asked me, “Have you any reason for making that bold assertion?” If I quoted scripture and said, these are the words of Jesus Christ, you might say, “Well, after all, that’s Jesus Christ, but I am simply John Brown, and I cannot bring myself to believe that whatever I assume that I am, if I persist in it, that it will become a reality.” That is only because you do not know who Jesus Christ is: Jesus Christ is the true identity of every man. Say “I am”…that’s Jesus Christ, that is God. Well, man does not believe that. He will say, “Well, that’s all well and good for someone who is called Jesus Christ, who is called either God or the Son of God, but certainly not for me.” Well, I tell you, the true identity of every man is Jesus Christ.

Now tonight I want to show you who Jesus Christ really is. I have told you and I mean it that I stood in the presence of the risen Lord, that he embraced me and incorporated me into his being. That was in 1929. He was infinite love. But when I looked at him I saw him as another and then at that moment I became what I beheld. I was actually embraced and actually fused with the body of the living Lord, the risen Lord. But I did not know Jesus Christ…you do not know him that way. I saw him as another, he embraced me and actually incorporated me into his body, and I was one with the risen Lord. But we are told in scripture that “no one has ever seen God; the only Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known” (John 1:18). Well now, “to see” and “to know” are the same words in Greek, same words. So when I’m told that no one has ever seen God, I might just as well have been told that no one has ever known God. No one except the Son who is in the bosom of the Father has made him known. And that is true.

It was thirty years later that the Son in the bosom of the Father made him known. I did not realize when I was incorporated into the body of God that I was God. Thirty years later when the Son, David of biblical fame, broke within me as I exploded within myself and he stood before me, I didn’t have to ask anything…he called me Father. Well, whether he called me Father or not, I knew instantly who he was and who I was and the relationship between father-son. So it takes the Son to reveal to me who I am. “I will tell of the decree of the Lord,” said David, “and the Lord said unto me, ‘Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee’” (Ps. 2:7).
