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.
Neville Goddard Lectures: “Who Am I?”
May 6, 1968…So here, in everyone in this world is a pattern awaiting animation. A man turns around, it erupts within man, and he finds himself the central character of scripture, and that central character is God the Father. So all return to God the Father…there’s nothing but God the Father. And it begins with the event called in scripture the resurrection. The resurrection is an actual awakening from a sleep…
Neville Goddard Lectures: “God’s Mystery Of Christ”
June 13, 1969…Many years ago I had this vision to illustrate this point. I came upon an enormous sea of sunflowers, beautiful sunflowers, and each flower was a human face, beautiful faces, each flower rooted in the earth. When one swayed, all swayed, if one smiled, all smiled. They moved in unison. I was standing there alone, certainly not as beautiful by the wildest stretch of the Imagination as these individu…
He Wakes In Me
March 24, 1967…All of a sudden, the wind increases now, but strangely it is free now. Instead of centered completely in your head, it is coming from the corner of the room in which you find yourself. You are diverted from this garment that now is flat on its back. As you look over wondering “Is it coming from that corner?” a peculiar wind, but an unearthly wind, it’s like a hurricane, like some peculiar cyclone.…
Salvation History
February 12, 1968…Although there are billions of us in the world, what does it matter? Everyone will have this invasion. We will be invaded by a history and it will possess him, and it will become his own personal experience. Well, if I can say I have experienced all these things that are now recorded in scripture as the experiences of the central figure called Jesus Christ, well then, let us go back to see was it …
Who Am I 1
May 6, 1968…In the 16th chapter of Matthew, Jesus turned to his disciples and said: “Who do men say that the Son of man is?” and they answered: “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah and still others say Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” Then he asked: “But who do you say that I am?” (Here he identified himself with the Son of man). Peter answered: “You are the Christ, the Son of God.” Upon hearing th…
Neville Goddard Lectures: Who Am I? (July 15, 1968, Marines’ Memorial Club, San Francisco)
July 15, 1968…That was the first of the major acts. Then came the other three mighty acts to complete the four sides of man. So, I know from my own personal experience I am not theorizing what is in store for every child born of woman. It doesn’t even matter if those that you know beyond the veil do not have this experience. They’re not dead! Nothing dies in God’s Kingdom. They are restored to life instantly re…
Neville Goddard Lecture: “Power” (1968)
July 23, 1968…So, tell me what you want, and then let me persuade myself that what you really want, you have. To the degree that I am self-persuaded you have it, you’ll get it. If I can’t persuade myself, then I have failed, but I haven’t misspent the energy, because I tried it lovingly. So, any time you use your imagination lovingly on behalf of another, you use it wisely. Even if you didn’t succeed in produci…
Neville Goddard Lectures: “Outer World Responds to Imaginal Acts”
April 7, 1969…In the end of my journey, when I come to the very end and I am setting myself free from this world of death comes this wonderful mighty act. And the whole thing is fused before me into one single youth and he stands and there he is as described in the Book of Samuel, just as he’s described in Samuel. And here is eternity that was buried in me: “God has put eternity into the mind of man yet so that…
