- Speaker: Neville Goddard
Repentance: A Gift of God
I think you will find a nice message avery practical one something the parity really have and apply is just the appeasement of hunger and the number of states of consciousness by which the individual think I do the world of Puria means of satisfying their hunter. I say this because your state of consciousness is always being externalized. If you knowhow to move from the planting space if you dislike it so the state that you would like to externalise then you have the system and that is that I attempt tonight to tell you.1118 ¶1
so the only state repenteth pushed out everything in this world and all are contained within the individual.1118 ¶2
now in the Bible we speak of prayer and prayer to the world me baby but not in the Bible it’s Thanksgiving it’s pray it’s not petition. He’s speaking the Bible of repentance and where things that it means to respect to be remorseful that’s not that the Bible teasing prayer and repentance are almost synonymous terms. We are told to bear fruit that befit repentance. Then this state of the sentence kerrigan scripture you and your disciples feet and wreath with sinners and he replied I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance neither like this alone we are so self-satisfied they like themselves from leave them alone. The word King has nothing to do with breaking any moral code. The word sin means to miss them all. That’s what it means. You have a goal in life and you have a look easy well then you’re sitting. You may have a billion dollars and still are hungry for another. Well then if you don’t have the other you are sinners. We may keep all the football codes of the world employees upon you by the priesthood to the world that would mean nothing for the Scriptures. Oh to replace is simply a radical change of attitude. That is what repentance reading.1118 ¶3
but if I radically changed by attitude towards life I was infused the world and see the Bur from that change of attitude. And that change is a change of country and that change will be externalized in my world.1118 ¶4
now repentance is that one man’s responsibility and a gift advancing.1118 ¶5
let us show you what I mean by it is if I and my father are one yet I go to my father for my father is greater than I we are one get my father is greater than I so I go to my father how do we arrive at this change which through your statement has what to mean in the office of the sink I am NOT the exterior to my essentially defender but only in the authors of the things I am restricted and must live by faith in what faith in the sender its myself the problem for I and my father are one but when I am faced into this world to experience this and to express the restriction of man I am seemingly inferior to myself the sender so when I retake I go to the sender I first do what I have to do1118 ¶6
so I say religion is at once our responsibility demands and a gift from God.1118 ¶7
but as what is my responsibility I want to change my way. So then I ask myself what would I see this it would change how would I see the world if my world was exactly that I wanted to be arrived a virtually so then here in my mind’s eye Conger esteem which would imply that it is true. Live as though it were true in my mind’s eye. I know I can’t make it show but in the guest that I own be the father he has the power to make itself.1118 ¶8
so now I go to my father. How do I go to my father I first of all do that I am tired about to do I an active scene in drying the fulfillment of my dream and then I turn it over completely in Thanksgiving to him. It is myself my essential D but it can change my leading mind. I do not know on thishow it can be done but I dunno but if I have faith innovation this is my ownself it will be done in my will.1118 ¶9
so the Italian system without faith it is impossible to please and those who are drawn near to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek Him. I must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek you. Well without faith it is impossible to please them. What is faith the same chapter in Hebrews defines very forceful faith is the assurance of things not seen the evidence of things hopeful. By faith we understand that the very worlds were created by the Word of God so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear.1118 ¶10
but in my world it hasn’t yet appeared. I say it all is contained within my imagination so I will enact the C which would imply but it’s real and then within myself I give thanks.1118 ¶11
now they’re told their most wonderful prayer ever uttered you find in the book of John 11 chapter. He stands at the gate of death and he raised his eyes and said thank you Father there’s doubt as further I knew that you always Harry. Well I can’t deny that the depth of my own be is carrying what I am doing what I am inwardly saying. So I conclude is that father thank you he certainly heard what I have said.1118 ¶12
what is it now supported by some statement is yes again in John but now in his letter the first level and in this he said if we believe that he fears us in whatever we ask of him we know that we have already obtained the requests made of him if I can simply assume that I am the man that I would like to be but certainly the depth of my own being has seen that assumption he has heard that assumption well now can I actually believe that that’s all I need you but I have to confess that I can do it on this level I am NOT wise enough on this level to devise the means necessary to externalize what I have assumed that I am will have you approved it level on number time1118 ¶13
on number times when I was completely shut out on certain areas in prison as it were not in the federal prisons but a state of imprisonment to find yourself on an island where you enjoyed four months away almost five months but you have a commitment in America you’ve got to get back and then to be told where there is no possibility of return until the very earliest September and that will be the very earliest and your commitment is in Milwaukee in the first week of May what are you going to do then no possibility no ships are taking the passengers and that list runs into thousands waiting all through the Indians from Trinidad all the way up all waiting and you are in the island of Barbados without making any provision for your return to America they use sale for Barbados five months before - what did I do1118 ¶14
I’ve said this that in a chair in my hotel room and I assumed I was on a little tender against the boat but that was before the days of a deep-water Harbor now we have a deep-water Harbor but then you did a small boat off to the ship waiting maybe1/2 miles of sea and then you walked up a game play so I simply stepped up on the gangplank and worked up that game plan in my mind’s eye if my mind wandered which indeed I brought it right back to that first step I’m the worked up again it wondered before I got to the top I’ve brought it back again and I play it as you would ahorse the mind is an unruly animal so I trained it and I worked up step after step when I got to the top I turned around and put my imaginary hands on the rail and I could smell the salt of the sea in the air I look back with nostalgia at the little island of Barbados a mixed emotion I am happy that I’m sailing for America I’m sad that I’m leaving behind a very large wonderful family of mine and then in that mood I shall be dropped off for a moment in sleep just a little nap1118 ¶15
the next day I was called by the very company who said to be have no possibility of getting you out of here before at the very earliest September and said there was a cancellation this day in America and they offered to me in spite of the list of over a thousand people waiting it’snot my concern why he or he or it can sir the passage my prayer was answered I did what I was called about the due for repentance is a radical change of attitude she said you can get out well I said I am out I’m ona boat under boat is headed towards New York City that’s all I want to do so I did my responsibility and the second part of repentance is a gift from God so God has the way of externalizing it what caused the woman or the man or something to cancer the thing I was told acid she was afraid she was afraid for some reason knotek’s to make the trip and so one facet was open and I got that one room because they’re only two days in it and my little girl was only three years old she could sleep with her mother and I could climb up one flight I’m Steeve on the other bunk and then take my eleven days back to New York City1118 ¶16
I did what I was called upon to do that’s my responsibility do an active scene which would imply the fulfillment of my desire and they surrender completely to my father for he has the power to externalise it I do not know how to doit on this level I haven’t a wisdom I haven’t anything on this level to do it so my faith is faith in my father faith in his power to externalize what I have done all in imagination1118 ¶17
so to me that is prayer that is repentance I didn’t sit down and felt for one moment that I had done something that was wrong and that’s why I couldn’t get out no central repeaters are remorse as the world teaches that’s not repentance repentance is simply a radical change of attitude that’s what the word means metanoia but radical right down to the root and you change your attitude if I change my attitude I’ve changed my state of consciousness and because all states of consciousness are being externalize in the world then that state will externalize itself in my world in a way I do not know or we are told my ways are not your ways my ways are past finding out just trust meso without faith you cannot please God via KHOU if I would come to him I must first believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek Him while I seek Him in projecting forming that which I desire in this world1118 ¶18
so that’s what I mean by prayer prayer is the attempted communion with God that were fairies as you’re told in the fourth song the fourth first commune with your own heart on your base and then be silent commune with whom I do not need the mediation of any priest any rabbi or any heavenly being on communing with myself the depth of my own being is God the Father that’s my essential team and he is one with the surface mine called Neville and in the capacity of the office of the saint called Neville I am inferior to myself the sender but the sender and the saint are one you and God the Father our one-stop under in the office of the saint you’re like an ambassador you do not speak with the same authority of the one who sent you to represent him so I represent myself in the world of death but the sender is greater than I and yetI am a owada1118 ¶19
this is what I get from Scripture and this is what I put into practice this is what I try to teach and tell everyone who will listen to me1118 ¶20
you are God the Father that’s who you really are but you do not know it yet the day is coming you’re going to know it and you’ll only know it when his son appears before you1118 ¶21
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever well Jesus Christ don’t look upon it as one in the sense like a surname Jesus and Christ mean the surname no look upon it as father and son the Christ is the Messiah that’s the son Jesus is the same as Jehovah that’s the power that we put them together he said Jesus Christ so he could say I and my father are one so here look upon it simply as one year but split for purpose in this world so he sings himself he sends his son who is his son the one who is going to reveal him to you as God the Father for no one has ever seen the father but his only begotten Son who is nearest and dearest to his heart he has made him known and so who is that one David David comes into sight and here you know exactly who you are the minute he appears memory returns and you are God the Father and his son who was with you before the world was made stands before you so Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever as you read it in the thirteenth chapter of Hebrews saying forever this is contained in the mind of man that’s what we mean in the third chapter of Ecclesiastes that God has put eternity into the mind of man yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end what did he do he put himself and his son into the very mind of man and when man has completed the journey ordained the secret is out the Sun appears and the minute of Sun appears the identity of the individual appears he is God the Father but this relationship was before that the world was so filthy one in this world is destined to awaken one day as God the Father and the relationship is forever you cannot change it1118 ¶22
so when your call upon to repaint for the story begins the kingdom of God is at hand repent and believe the gospel believe the good news repent and all the preachers of the world tell you that you must know mold and carry on because you must repaint of things that you did Bible doesn’t teach that at all it doesn’t the paint change your attitude if you would change the world the try to change circumstances before you change your state of consciousness is the struggle against the very nature of things you can’t do it how can you change a thing and still maintain it from within you1118 ¶23
so tonight without asking anyone’s permission without asking anyone to mediate for you to God you go within and commune with your own heart what would the world be like if it were true that I am already the man the woman that I’d like to be what would it be like well then look at it and see it if you don’t see a change well then there is no change man kids can detect motion in this world only by changes relative or something that is fixed for now my present state is fixed seemingly for plane I change my attitude towards the world and let the world see be a change man I see my world a change what if I see a world that has change relative to what it was well then I have changed if tonight I am financially embarrassed what would it be like if I were not if I were asked to it would my friends no it would my wife note if they would know it well then that’s the newest prayer Mike telling them audibly no you do it all in your imagination1118 ¶24
for man is all imaginations and God is man and exist in us and we in him the eternal body of man is the imagination and that is God himself that is the divine body that we speak of in Scripture as Jesus aware delays he lives in you so break says so beautifully light stain we here trembling around calling on God for health and not ourselves in whom God dwells he gels in us so where would I go to find him in a church in the synagogue in a so-called holy place no if I’m at a bar drinking a beer or a good scotch that’s where he is is in me wherever I am that’s where he is and he is aware of what I am entertaining and it will externalize what I am entertaining so I change radically my state of mind and that radical change will externalize itself if I heal completely to him in faith that he has the ability to do it it relieves me of all responsibility of devising the means that would be necessary to do it I do not know why is enough to know how it’s going to work I only know it will work1118 ¶25
so everyone if he knows this secret is free he is set freeby the knowledge of prayer1118 ¶26
teach me how to pray now the Lord’s Prayer is not the technique if you know the Lord’s Prayer and it is recited you week after week in all the churches of the world but it’snot as it’s written in Scripture a friend of mine who’s now gone from this world gave me the literal translation of the Greek saying what we have in our Bible is a translation from the Latin and the Latin has no errors of the imperative passive mood so they could not convey the sense of the Evangelist the imperative passive mood is a thing to be done absolutely and continuously that in other words our problem the heavens by name must be being salad thy kingdom must be being restored thy will must be being done that’s how it’s written it’s a play that is forever without any reference to its duration toits positioning time to its repetition is to be taking place and that plays the player the father son in man and in the very thing when the individual here is drawn into that play he realizes it he actually reenacts within himself eternal play and when that whole thing is done within him he is fulfills what he came to do for the only purpose in life really is simply to fulfill Scripture1118 ¶27
while we are here in this world of tears world of death then we have given ourselves a law by which we can cushion the blow the inevitable bells for you get into a state quite awkward unwittingly and you do not know that you’re in the state until you see an externalized and you do not like what is being externalized don’t remain in it and wallow get out of it don’t condemn anyone for it don’t judge anyone just get out of that state you get out of the state by asking yourself a very simple simple question what would it be like if and then you imagine as if they were truth and that is a secret of prayer what would it belike if it were true that I am now the man the woman that I would like to be and then I dare to assume that I am it well then I can say father thank you well you’re certainly heard and you certainly saw what I did you cannot encompass me as the deeper self of my being something that is my essential being and tell me that you unaware of what the surface mind is doing it can’t be unaware of what my surface mind is doing1118 ¶28
I saw yes to this paper at the 2nd man have stepped on the moon his name was Alden when he came back from this fantastic thing Armstrong stepped on first and then all the second read he came near a nervous breakdown and sought psychiatric help and all the story that he read about their journey he said they were so full and they all said I wish it were true not a thing that Life magazine wrote about that journey was true not what any magazine wrote was true through the eyes of those who had the experience and then the in the article a quoted a thought young call you a Newman said long before any man ever stepped on the moon it is far easier for men to visit Mars or the moon than to penetrate is only so you step on the moon and the fantastic feet for that’s nothing compared to penetrating your own beat on finding the cause of the phenomena of life to find the father in you for that’s where he is he’s not outside and because he is not outside he has never sought far as even to veneer for nearness implies separation so I can say I and my father are one and so if he’s even near it’s not near it out no matter how near it is he has been my essential being for nearness implies separation and he is not separated because I and my father are one1118 ¶29
giving me freedom to choose a safe that I will enter wisely or unwisely then he’ll externalized it and show me exactly what I did but grant me the freedom to change it now don’t leave me in the state if I desire to get out of it1118 ¶30
but many a person was in it and wallows in it morning noon and night and they are totally unaware that they’redoing it they will say oh yes and then five seconds later that are back into that state I have had interviews of people who will say to me this is what I would like but I must first tell you don’t tell me anything tell me what you want they’re only States they insist on wallowing in all the things of the past like a little old lady who insisted on confessing time and time again to the priest and it was some little affair she had when she was a child young girl and the priest said well you know my dear you’ve told me that over and over again she said yes but I love to talk about it well that’s the story we have to tell for all the miseries in the world I tell you forget it know exactly what you want in this world dare to assume that you are it and then he’ll completely surrender to the depth of your own being and he has the way that you do not tell and he will externalize it in your world1118 ¶31
so really in a real thing prayer is the subjective appropriation of the objective hope what do you have for well now subjectively appropriated that subjective appropriation of the objective house is the art of prayer for your father so exactly what you appropriated he saw it and he isn’t judging you he’s going to give it to you he’s not going to ask anything he’s going to give you exactly what you appropriated1118 ¶32
so I have propagated a trip when they told me you couldn’t move out of this island for months and months to come but I kept my date and Milwaukee I arrived in New York City the first week of May and through to Milwaukee and there I get my day so the same thing is true for everyone of this world I am not unique in the sense that I differ from any child born a woman you are unique and I am unique in the same that we can’t be duplicated and that’s why everyone has to be redeemed because if not all then something is missing from the whole so I can say is faithfully to everyone you’re going to be redeemed you may go through hell before you wake up but you still are going to be salvaged you’re going to be safe everyone because the whole makes the one that is done but why wait and why have more blocks and more knocks in this world when you can actually learn what scripture really means by repentance and don’t though telling anyone that you commit a little scene and now they must give you something to do that you may repent forget that nonsense oh that’s nonsense I don’t care what you did your father doesn’t hold it against you it is the state in which you were when you committed that act and man judges the individual and not the state if I must express myself judge the state but not the individual in that state he was simply something is telling to it unwittingly1118 ¶33
so Blake could say I you’ve seen now for what I tell you that I do not see other the just or the wicked to be in a supreme state but to be everyone of them states of the sleep which the soul may fall into in its deadly dreams of good and evil so it falls into a state so white condemned the man or a woman for the state into which it fell take it out of that state all things are redeemable take him out of the state how do you take him out for asking what he would like maybe he doesn’t want to get another state if he wants to get out of that state you ask him what would you like more then in your own minds I represent him to yourself as the man or the woman that they would like to be and they in heal completely to your father because he has the know-how he knows how to produce it in there1118 ¶34
a friend of mine went to San Francisco at my bidding I taught him the law and as much like tell him of the other part of the promise but the law just what I’m talking about tonight before he gave one lecture in San Francisco it’s a new city he had never seen it before and he was walking around the street and he had a little fox terrier so he’s carrying his little dog at the street and a man crossed wobbling a bit and asked him for money so that he was unemployed and he would like a little handout he kept and he had quite a little bit to drink as he asked my friend wasn’t judging that aspect at all he didn’t give he had all a lick in the world he shall must apply this principle and he say to the man I do not have anymore to give you but what I have I’ll give you but the man couldn’t understand what he was talking about but thanked him and walked his way my friend did not make one step beyond that point before he did what was his responsibility you represented that man to himself as gainfully employed and no need of help from anyone just gainfully employed and then he went his way for this little dog a week later he’s walking down the street the man crosses the street and comes up to him he said I don’t imagine that you remember me my friend said oh yes I do police I want to thank you for not giving me help when I asked you a week ago because had you given me his help I would be asking you for help tonight too but I got so mad with myself because you turn me down and I was in that position to ask for help I went to the very next day and got myself a marvelous job andI’m on the job now1118 ¶35
my friend did he represented him to himself as gainfully employed so we are told that in the book of Acts silver and gold have I none for they but such as I have give I unto you so he help you can give any gift in your imagination so give it and then yield completely to the depth of your own being knowi that he has the power the creative power to externalize it and that’s what my friend freedom did1118 ¶36
so anyone can do it you don’t have to graduate from some little ism in this world if you want some little title or I get a title these all are bought anyway you can put $50 in the mail send it off to Indian get a PhD you want something higher than that get something higher but if whatever it is all for $50 if you’re bothered with you’ll get it for10 no exams no studies nothing just apiece of paper and these people frame it and put it up on the wall so if that is not the height of nonsense and then big venting will take place and you’ll hear so many doctors being called dr.so-and-so and doctors own selves each paid $10 for that doctor ship1118 ¶37
get down to the basic facts the greatest book in the world that never changes is the Bible but it’s the most misunderstood book in the world for it is taught as secular history and it is not secular history it’s divine history is the history of salvation and these characters are not persons as you are these are eternal states of consciousness but they’re all for some apply when you tell the story and we have taken the personification for persons and the vehicle that conveys the instruction for the instructions and the growth first sex for the ultimate sense intended and as long as we can teach it as secular history we will never know the mile1118 ¶38
so I kill you whatever you did this day and you dislike it turn from it into another state don’t try to rub it out remaining in that state because you’re going to do it again you’ll do the same thing over and over again while you remain in that state you can pledge yourself from now to the ends of time that I will never do it again to find it maybe 24 hours later the impulse is there and go do it again get out of the state and it is as though you never really did that not in eternity it isn’t part of you because it’s not part of the new state but you are not a state you are all imagination imagination is not a state all these other things are States but not imagination that is the individual himself that is God your own wonderful human imagination that’s God when you say I am that’s God forever and forever and forever so my name is in him because my name is in him where should he turn if he wants to find God but now without faith in God in your own wonderful human imagination you cannot please him so who would come to him must first believe that he exists well I don’t have to ask you if you aren’t aware of being you certainly are aware of being well that’s saying I am so you do know that you do exist to that extent you may believe that that dies with the Philips physical body I tell you it doesn’t die with a physical body you have believed that a change of state is a change in the sense of death no it’s not the individual moves on from state to state to state but states remain permanent for all others to enter that state I leave the city of Los Angeles and go on elsewhere but Los Angeles remains but I the program I move on and the program is your own wonderful human imagination that’s your immortal self who cannot die you cannot go to eternal death in that which cannot die that’s your immortal being1118 ¶39
but you’re going to remain in this world until you discover who you are and no one in the world can convince you to the extent that you must be convinced but the Sun when the Sun appears all arguments are over the minute you see em you’re exactly who you are and you know that you are God the Father if so the Sun that man gains assurance that he is God the last thing in the world can convince him but that I could tell you from now to the ends of time but I can convince you to the point that you will be convinced when you see David1118 ¶40
when you see David it’s the David the psalmist that sweet psalmist of the Old Testament that’s David that is the Messiah he is the Christ and Jesus is the Lord God Jehovah that’s the mystery you’redealing with a mystery so David in the spirit call him my lord as a son always spoke of his father as my Lord always we do not do it today but when this was put into the written four sons always referred to their father as my Lord and so David in the spirit not in the flesh call him Milam therefore he called in my father1118 ¶41
so I hope you’ll take it fierce tonight and really live by it it will not fail you like a jewel it will not fail you you can change your world and make it conform to your ideal state to your dream tear it to those who will listen many will not listen but it doesn’t really matter if they do not listen leave them alone don’t try to get them over the head to make itself1118 ¶42
but I’ll tell you the spiritual growth is the gradual I would say transition from a God of tradition to a God of experience and so you will gradually grow and grow and grow and as you grow you outgrow you will outgrow these traditions and then you’ll find the God of experience having done them you aren’t when the letting go you will know that all things are taking place within your own wonderful human imagination now let us go into the silence1118 ¶43
a change what if I see a world that is changed relative to what it was well then I have changed if tonight I am financially embarrassed what would it belike if I were not if I were asked not with my friends o it with my wife not eyes they would know it well then that’s the newest clear Michael Ian audibly no you do it all in your imagination1118 ¶44
for man is all imagination and God is man and exist in us and we in him the eternal body of man is the imagination and that is God himself that is the divine body that we speak of in Scripture as Jesus aware delay he lives in you so Blake says so beautifully white stain Revere trembling around calling on God for health are not ourselves in whom God dwells he drowsed in us so where would I go to find him in a church in the synagogue it is so called holy place no if I’m at the bar drinking a veil or good scotch that’s where he is is in me wherever I am that’s where he is and he is aware of what I am entertaining and his will externalise what I am entertaining so I change radically my state of mind and that radical change will externalise itself if I heal completely to him in faith that he has the ability to do it it relieves me of all responsibility of devising the means that would be necessary to do it I do not know why is enough to know how it’s going to work I only know it was1118 ¶45
so everyone if he knows this secret is free he is set free by the knowledge of prayer1118 ¶46
teach me how to pray now the Lord’s Prayer is not the technique if you know the Lord’s Prayer and as we recited you week after week in all the churches of the world but it’s not as it’s written in Scripture a friend of mine who’s now gone from this world gave me the literal translation of the Greek saying what we have in our Bible is a translation from the Latin and the Latin has no errors of the imperative passive mood so they could not convey the sense of the Evangelist the imperative passive mood is a thing to be done absolutely and continuously that in other words our Father in the heavens thy name must be being salad thy kingdom must be be restored thy will must be being done that’s how it’s written it’s a play that is forever without any reference to his duration to its position in time to its repetition is to be taking place and that plays the play of the Father Son in man and in the very end when the individual here is drawn into that play he realizes it he actually reenacts within himself the eternal play and when that whole thing is done within him he is fulfilled what he came to do for the only purpose in life really is simply to fulfill Scripture1118 ¶47
while we are here in this world of tears world of death then we have given ourselves a law by which we can cushion the blow the inevitable bells or you get into a state quite often unwittingly and you do not know that you’re in the state until you see it external eyes and you do not like what is being externalized don’t remain in it and wallow get out of it don’t condemn anyone for it don’t judge anyone just get out of that state you get out of the state by asking yourself a very simple simple question what would it be like it and then you imagine as if it were true and that is the secret of prayer that would it be like if it were true that I am nowthe man the woman that I would like to be and then I dare to assume that I am it well then I can say father thank you well you’re certainly heard and you certainly saw what I did you cannot encompass me as the deeper self of my being something that is my essential being and tell me that you are unaware of what the surface mind is doing it can’t be unaware of what my surface mind is doing1118 ¶48
I saw on yesterday’s paper at the second man you stepped on the moon his name was Alden when he came back from this fantastic thing Armstrong stepped on first and then all the second that he came near a nervous breakdown and sought psychiatric help and all the story that he read about their journey he says they were so full and they all said I wish it were true not a thing that Life magazine wrote about that journey was true not what any magazine wrote was true through the eyes of those who had the experience and then the in the article quoted a thought of young carl jung and union said long before any man ever stepped on the moon it is far easier for men to visit Mars or the moon than to penetrate his own deep so you step on the moon and the fantastic feet but that’s nothing compared to penetrating your own beam on finding the cause of the phenomena of life to find the father angel for that where he is he is not a sign and because he is not outside he has never sought far as even to veneer for nearness implies separation so I can say I and my father are one and so if he’s even near it’s not married on matter how near it is he has been my essential being for nearness implies separation and he’s not separated because I and my father are one1118 ¶49
given me freedom to choose a state that I will enter wisely or unwisely then he’ll externalizes and show me exactly what I did but grant me the freedom to change it now don’t leave me in the state if I desire to get out of it1118 ¶50
but many a person rolls in it and wallows init morning or night and they are totally unaware that they’re doing it they will say oh yes and then five seconds later that are back into that state I have had interviews of people who will say to me this is what I would like but i but first tell you don’t tell me anything tell me what you want they’re only States they insist on wallowing in all the things of the past as a little old lady who insisted on confessing time and time again to the priest and it was some little affair she had when she was a child young girl and the priest said well you know my dear you’ve told me that over and over again she said yes but I love to talk about it well that’s the story we love to talk about all the miseries in the world I tell you forget it know exactly what you want in this world dare to assume that you are it and then he’ll completely surrender to the depth of your own being and he has the way that you do not tell and he will externalise it in your world1118 ¶51
so really in a real thing prayer is the subjective appropriation of the objective hope that you have for well now subjectively appropriated that subjective appropriation of the objective hope is the are depressed for your father so exactly what to appropriate it is soyand he is in judgment he’s going to give it to you he’s not going to ask anything he’s gonna give exactly what you appropriately1118 ¶52
so I appropriated a trip when they told me you couldn’t move out of this island for months and months tocome but I kept my day to Milwaukee I arrived in New York City the first week of May and through to Milwaukee and there I get my date so the same thing is true for everyone of this will I am NOT unique in the sense that I differ pertaining child born a woman you are unique and I am unique in the sense that we can’t be duplicated and that’s why everyone has to be redeemed because if not all then something is missing from the whole so I can say safely to everyone you’re going to be redeemed you may go through hell before you wake up but you still are going to be salvaged you’re going to be safe everyone because the whole makes the one that is done but why wait and why have more blocks and more knocks in this world when you can actually learn what scripture really means by repentance and don’t go telling anyone that you commit a little scene and now they both give you something to do that you may repent forget that nonsense oh that’s nonsense I don’t care what you did your father doesn’t hold it against you it is the state in which you were when you committed that act and man judges the individual are not the state if I must express myself judge the state but not the individual in that state he was simply something is telling to it unwittingly1118 ¶53
so Blake could say I you see now for what I tell you that I do not see either the just or the wicked to bein a supreme state but to be every one of them states of the sleep which the soul made for Indian in its deadly dreams of good and evil so it falls into a state so white condemned a man or a woman for the state into which it failed take it out of that state all things are redeemable take him out of the state how do you take him out we’ll ask him what he would like maybe he doesn’t want to get her the same if he wants to get out of that state you ask him what would you like well then in your own minds I represent him to yourself as the man or the one that they would like to be and then heal completely to your father because he has the know-how he knows how to produce it in them1118 ¶54
a friend of mine went to San Francisco at my bidding I taught him the law and as much as I could tell him of the other part of the promise but the law just what I’m talking about tonight before he gave one lecture in San Francisco if the new city he had never seen it before and he was walking around the street and he had a little fox terrier so he’s carrying his little dog up the street and a man crossed wobbling a bit and asked him for money so that he was unemployed and he would like a little handout he kept and he had quite a little bit to drink as yes my friend wasn’t judging dead aspect at all he didn’t give he had all the liquor in the world he shall must apply this principle and he say to the man I do not have any money to give you of what I have I’ll give you but the man couldn’t understand what he was talking about but thanked him and walked his way my friend did not make one step beyond that point before he did what was his responsibility you represented that man to himself as gainfully employed and no need of help from anyone just gainfully employed and then he went his way with his little dog a week later he’s walking down the street the man crosses the street and comes up to him he said I don’t imagine that you remember me my friend said oh yes I do but if I want to thank you for not giving me help when I asked you we could go because had you given me his help I would be asking you for help tonight - but I got so mad with myself because you turned me down and I was in that position to ask for help I went to the very next day and got myself a marvelous job and I’m on the job now1118 ¶55
my friend did he represented him to himself as gainfully employed so we are told that in the book of Acts silver and gold have I none per day but such as I have give I unto you so he help you can give any gift in your imagination to give it and then yield completely to the depth of your own thing knowing that he has the power the creative power to externalize it and that’s what my friend freedom did1118 ¶56
so anyone can do it you don’t have to graduate from some little ism in this world if you want some little title over I get a title these all have bought anyway you can put $50in the mail sent it off to Indian get a PhD you want something higher than that get something higher but if whatever it is all the $50.00 that you’re bothered with you’ll get it to 10 no exams no studies nothing just the piece of paper and these people frame it and put it upon the wall so if that is not the heights of nonsense and then big convention will take place and you’ll hear so many doctors being called doctor thorns own justice own so each paid ten dollars for that doctor ship1118 ¶57
get down to the basic facts the greatest book in the world that never changes is the Bible but it’s the most misunderstood book in the world for it is taught as secular history and it is not secular history it’s divine history it’s the history of salvation and these characters are not persons as you are these are eternal states of consciousness but they’re all for some apply when you tell the story and we have taken the personification for persons and the vehicle that conveys the instruction for the instruction and the gross first cents for the ultimate cents intended and as long as we can teach it as secular history we will never know the Bible1118 ¶58
so I tell you whatever you did this day and you dislike it turn from it into another state don’t try to rub it out remaining in that state because you’re gonna do it again you’ll do the same thing over and over again while you remain in that state you can pledge yourself from now to the ends of time that I will never doit again to find it maybe 24 hours later the impulse is there and go do it again get out of the state and it is as though you never really did that not in eternity it isn’t part of you because it’s not part of the new state but you are not a state you are all imagination imagination is not a state hell these other things are States but not imagination that is the individual himself that is God your own wonderful human imagination that’s God when you say I am that’s God forever and forever and forever so my name is in him because my name is hidden where should he turn if he wants to find God but now without faith in God in your own wonderful human imagination you cannot please him so who would come to him must first believe that he exists well I don’t have to ask you if you aren’t aware of being you certainly are aware of being well that’s saying I am so you do know that you do exist to that extent you may believe that that dies with the physical body I tell you it doesn’t die with a physical body you have believed that a change of state is a change in the sense of death no it’s not the individual moves on from state to state to state but states remain permanent for all others to enter that state I leave the city of Los Angeles and go on elsewhere but Los Angeles remains but I the program I move on and the program is your own wonderful human imagination that your immortal self who cannot die you cannot go to eternal death in that which cannot die that’s your immortal being1118 ¶59
but you’re going to remain in this world until you discover who you are and no one in the world can convince you to the extent that you must be convinced but the Sun when the Sun appears all arguments are over the minute you see em you’re exactly who you are and you know that you are God the Father is through the Sun that man gains assurance that he is God the last thing the world can convince him but that I could tell you from now to the ends of time but I can convince you to the point that you will be convinced when you see David1118 ¶60
how are you see David it’s good David the psalmist that sweet psalmist of the Old Testament that David that is the Messiah he is the Christ and Jesus is the Lord God Joe that’s the mystery you’redealing with the mystery so David in the spirit called him my lord as a son always Pope of his father as my Lord always we do not do it today but when this was put into the written form sons always referred to their father as my Lord and so David in the spirit not in the flesh told him Milo therefore he called in my father1118 ¶61
so I hope you’ll take it seriously tonight and really live by it they will not fail you I catch it will nothing we can change your world and make it conform to your ideal state to your dream tell it to those who will listen many will not listen but it doesn’t really matter if they do not listen leave them alone don’t try to get them over the head to make itself1118 ¶62
but I’ll tell you the spiritual growth is the gradual I would say transition from a God of tradition to a God of experience and so you will gradually grow and grow and grow and as you grow you outgrow you will outgrow these perdition’s and then you’ll find the god of experience having found them you aren’t going to let him go you will know that all things are taking place within your own wonderful human imagination now let us go into the silence you you1118 ¶63
