We have but two left to night and Monday. So I thought this one
must be important to all of us, to gather the pieces together and try
to explain what I have tried over the years. Really, ever since,
it happens to me, no background to a man's thinking is complete, which
does not contain the story the Bible tells. But have we told the story
as the Bible tells us? No, we have not. It has not
been clearly stated at all. We have merged the messenger in his message,
and then made an idol of the messenger, and now we stick him on
the wall and cross ourselves for luck. That was the very last thing that
was intended when the messenger came. So he sends another messenger, and I
hope that no one will stick him on the walls and cross themselves for luck.
For this story is eternal, has nothing to do with a man.
That man is simply a messenger telling the eternal story. Now Here, none
of us should boast, as we are told, what have you that you
did not receive? If then you received it, then why do you boast
as if it were not a gift. You'll read that in the First Corinthians,
the fourth chapter. Now we will turn to Jeremiah the ninth chapter.
Let not the wise man rejoice or glory in his wisdom. Let not the
mighty man glory in his might. Let not the rich man glory in his
riches. But let him who glories glory in this that he understands and knows
me, for I am the Lord. You'll read that in the ninth chapter,
the twenty third and twenty fourth verses of Jelusle The word Jeremiah means Jehovah
will rise if you have anything to glory about, glory in the fact that
you understand and you know the Lord. And the Lord is your own wonderful
I am. This your sense of awareness when you say I am that is
God, that is the Lord. Don't look out to any individual man in
this world, although he could be the messenger, since he is not the
Lord. The Lord resides in you as your own wonderful human imagination, that
is God. So let him who rejoices rejoice in this that he understands and
knows me, for I am the Lord. Do you really believe that?
If you believe that, and you can take the story and apply it the
whole thing to yourself, take this thing off completely, this little God,
and believe that all things are possible to God. And having understood and fund
him as your own wonderful human imagination, then give him the depths that he
possesses on the surface of your being. All Right, you can't do it,
You're not supposed to do it, but you can have faith in your
own being, which is your own wonderful human imagination, and believe that an
imaginable act is at that moment a fact. All right, that's a vision.
Now the vision has its own appointed hour, it ripens, it will
flower if it belong wait for it is sure, and it will not be
late. You simply imagine the act by boldly assuming that you are already the
one that you would be if you dare to assume it, well, then
you would persist in that assumption. If you call my name tonight, and
you call it a month from now, I would respond because I have assumed
that I am named never. Now, there are millions of Nevers possibly in
the world, but I am still Never. So if you call Neville,
there may be in the same room others who will respond. Well, then
we can single out the one you intended. But nevertheless, I'm going to
respond if someone pages me in a lobby and they only use the word never
and the others never, But I will simply puld my hand to the page
boy of whoever he is, and try to identify myself as never. Well,
now here in this world of ours do you really believe that your own
wonderful human imagination is God. If you do, you will not turn to
anyone in this world on the outside. Not one thing in the world is
going to lead you. No progress of civilization. Man does not advance by
any external march of things. When you go back to the awakening of the
story in a Man, they were digging the earth with a hole using their
hands. So the progress of man now to applow. And man in those
days he took if he had a donkey, if he could afford it,
he rode on a donkey, or he had to walk. Today we flies.
But there is no advance in the external march of things for man.
For when it happened in a Man, he's simply to tell of an entirely
different age, something that was entirely different, And he called it the Kingdom
of Heaven. And he tells us the Kingdom of Heaven is within you.
It's all within you, so seek not things on the outside. I just
see them marching forward, getting seemingly better and better and better better ways of
killing. So killing a few now we can kill millions. So we have
progressed becall that the progress of civilization. That is not what the messenger came
to tell. He came to tell of an entirely different world, a world
where you are eternal, a world where you are God when you awake from
this dream of life. Now A letter came this week back his hair.
Tonight. He said, I found you just to us alone, and you
were trying to show me. In fact, you did succeed in show me
how to get in and out of your own skull. It was so easy
for you to move in and out of your scarf. And then you took
my hand and placed it on the skull and hand as I felt that skull,
it felt and looked like the color of a lamb. It was pliable,
but it was a lamb scowl. And in and out you went with
such ease, no effort whatsoever. And then I wondered, where is Bill,
Bill, being my wife, And I thought to myself, she should
be here, and I inquired about her, and I said to her,
Bill is fine, And she said in her letter to me, I knew
that you meant it. And then I turned to her and said to her,
remember, tried to remember that your only concern is the scar. Don't
be concerned about Bill, about any one of this world. Your only concern
is the scar. That is the secret of it all, that the Kingdom
of Heaven within you. So try to find out how you're get in and
out with the greatest of ease. Then she fell, said she, as
she was about to awaken, that I had at some time gone in and
out of that lamb skull with similar eaves. And then she said, I
awoke. Now you know the story of the lamb in scripture, there were
at first affairs in Genesis in the twenty second chapter, when he is called
upon to sacrifice his son, and Isaac turned to his father and said,
father, And the Abraham answered, fear am I? He said, father,
I see the fire, and I see the wood, But fear is
the lamb for a burnt offering, Abraham replied, the Lord will provide himself
the lamb. Then we find the lamb simple used all to the New Testament
when the messenger comes John, meaning now John the Baptist, He said,
behold the Lamb of God, will take it away the sins of the world.
When he passed by, and again he replied, behold the Lamb of
God. Then andrew, having heard it, he followed him. And you
know this, dady. He turned and asked, what do you want?
And he answered, where do you live? Come and see? And he
followed him. In the very last book, the very last Chapsain of Revelation,
we speak of the lamb. Truth is literal. The words employed mainly
frigative, not always, but in this case it is frigative. Yet she
in feeling the head of the lamb, the pliable heads that I wore,
she felt the lamb the symbol of the risen Lord, that which was sacrificed.
She saw correctly, She saw exactly what she should have seen. It's
all within one's own wonderful scar And the lamb is simply the simpol of he
that was sacrificed. Who is sacrificed, Am and No. The universal power
of God, the cosmic Christ, is the power of God and the wisdom
of God. And it is buried in every child born a woman to single
it out and put it as a man and call it by any name.
You're simply making an idol in violation of the second commandment. Make no braven
image unto me. Yet they are tens and tens of millions of images of
their one they call the Christ. Make no braven image unto me. Yes,
I yield all blessings to the name of the one who took these great
truths and gave them current coins, current, I would say current. No
one understood it until the messenger came. No one understood the great adamiration,
the foreshadowing of his plans. Then he sends, when the time was ripe,
he sends a messenger to experience it, that he could speak from experience.
So he comes and he experiences the scripture. The scripture is the Old
Testament. There was no other scripture. And he had completely fulfilled the Old
Testament. And then he told who did he tell? He told those in
the synagogue. So in the synagogue that passing a book, the sixty first
chapter of Isaiah, he opened that chapter, and he said, the spirit
of the Lord God is upon me. He said, this scripture has been
fulfilled this day. And then, having read just one verse and be half
of the second verse. He closed the book and returned it to the attendant,
and all eyes were glued upon him. But then within a matter of
moments they began to stone him, because now he is bringing something entirely different
to the world. They were looking for a man, and in a man
they knew so well, knew his father, his mother, his brothers,
his sisters, knew his whole background. And here now he is telling them
what is happening within him, and they can't take it. So they rejected
him. And then those who came to organize the story of the fulfillment of
God's train of salvation turned around and merged the messenger in his message and made
an idol of it. There is no one on the outside to whom you
should bow, no one. For the God of whom I speak, the
God of whom the scriptures speak, is your own wonderful I am this.
It is his name, forever and forever. So whenever that asked to his
name, don't say Jesus, don't say God, don't say the Lord.
His name forever is I am. So when you go unto the people of
Israel and to say who sent you just say, I am that sent me
unto you. This is his name forever, and by this name he shall
be known throughout all generations. So every child born a woman is first aware
that he is before he is aware of being anything in this world. Don't
take away from him the awareness of being, that is the creative power of
his own being, and then anchor it on the outside and point to some
being hanging on a cross on the wall. So for hundreds of years man
has gone astray from the truth, have left the true God under maiden idol
and worship of false God. And he send another, and he will saying
another to actually explain his plain of redemption to his sons that are scattered.
Now I have brought one message which is all in scripture, but it's not
in any current book or any ancient book that I have ever read. That
is the story of David. That is the message that I have been sent
to tell. Sent to tell it only because in being sent I did not
know what it was I was sent to tell until I experienced it. Having
experienced it, that the Son of God, which is the resultant state of
a man's journey throughout this dream of life, stands before him personified. But
now I must not worship David. He is doubt and state of the individual's
journey through this horrible dream of life. Or when he stands before you,
there is no doubt in your mind as to who he is and the relationship
between yourself and what you're looking at, and there's no doubt in his mind
as to what he is looking at. Now who is he? We are
told in scripture? I made him a witness to the people. And let
us go into the first chapter of Revelation, the fifth verse, speaking now
of Jesus Christ, the faithful Witness, the first born of the day,
the ruler of all gens of earth. Now we go to the fifty fifth
chapter of Isaiah. My state fast sure love for David. I have made
him a witness to the peoples. Now we go to the eighteen ninth Psalm,
speaking now of David. I have made him the first born, the
ruler of all of the kings of earth. He comes only now to fulfilled
scripture. And the only scripture is the Old Testament, And we are telling
him the thirtieth chapter of Proverbs, every word of God true's truth. Do
not add to his words lest you be called a liar, Do not add
one word or in any way modify his words that you be called a liar.
Really in the thirtiest chapter of Proverbs. Well, if it cannot be
added to, and the promise is made to David, I have made him
a witness to the people's I have made him the first bond of the day.
I have made him the ruler of all the kings of earth and of
all this is now stated in the New Testament given to the messenger. And
then the messenger's ballooned up to be worshiped. No, the word Jesus,
which means Jehovah in everyone. When the story really unfolds, he is the
Lord Jesus. He doesn't change his identity. He still remains Mary, jan
Stand whatever name you bear. But the story itself unfolds in the Lord.
And the Lord is the Lord Jehovah, which means Jesus. So he is
now bearing witness to the truth of God's word which is in the Old Testament.
So he is a witness to the people's And then they take the witness,
who is the messenger, and merge him with the message, bury him
in his own message. And then personifiot cut it out of wood and make
an image out of it, in defiance of the second commandment, make no
graven image unto me, So make no braven image. How are you going
to see your own wonderful human imagination? You will see him in action.
If today you change your attitude towards life, a change is going to take
place in your world. You will see the results of this change of activity
in you. But the one who calls the change, you aren't going to
see him, But you will see him out fix it in the results.
So no one has ever seen God, only the sun season, only the
personification of that resultant state. Having gone to the very end and awakened within
yourself, taking all of these shaddows and giving life to them, and giving
a true pattern, the real pattern. And then he comes before you,
and he stands before you, and he calls your father, in fulfillment of
the eighteen ninth Psalm, I have fun, Davis. And he's cried under
me, thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my
salivation, which stands right before you. But don't now personify it, look
upon him as a resultant state. But man has taken all the characters of
scripture and treat them as persons. They're not persons, they're personifications. And
he's taken the those first sense that conveyed the instruction for the instruction that is
not it. Don't take any of these persons. There are persons. There
are simply persulifications of the eternal states of God's kind of redemption. So the
reality is your own wonderful human imagination. That is God, that is the
Jehovah of scripture, that is the Jesus of the New Testament. And so
if you're going to boast, if you're going to in any way remember these
things of the ninth chapter Jeremiah. Let not the wise man glory in his
wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his mind. Let not the
rich man glory in his riches. But let him who glory is glory in
this that he understands and knows me, for I am the Lord. If
you really understood that and believe it, you could not turn to any other
being in the world. And the day will come to believe it, and
you're rather drop than turn to anything. You cannot. It's entirely will in
you. So I could say to my friend quite innocently and truly, let
not your concern be about bills. She's fine, She's going through the furnaces
as you have and must all of us must pass through the furnaces. But
as Paul said, I consider the sufferings of this present time not worth comparing
with the glory that is to be established and to be revealed enough. And
the glory is God himself, when God unveils himself within us, and he
canvails himself only when his son, which is the resultant state of prayers,
to reveal us as the one we've been seeking. So you find what you've
been seeking when the resultant state stands before you personify, and that is power
and wisdom personified. But your own power and wisdom, that glorious being called
David. David in the true literal sense of the word, is the son
of God, and you are his father. Now, I'm telling you that
from my own experience. But do not think, because I'm the first one
to tell it, that you're going to emerge me the messager in my message
and then stick me on the wall. No, don't give it. I
am no more than you are. We're all one that no one bragged today
that many people who are bragging of the scholarship, of their position in the
world of their descent. I have some friend back east. She called me
from New York two days ago. Why on earth she calling? Well,
here it is she feels so for these people who can only think in terms
of an extra twenty five dollars. Why she had to tell me that she
just received the check from the government where she had overpaid her taxes in nineteen
seventy one, and they refunded ten thousand, five hundreds. She gloated,
She gloried in that. And yet I rather have the company of someone tending
bar or serving the drinks than this lady's company, because I cannot talk one
thing. I can't discuss anything concerning the realities of life, or she can
think of She came down from the Adamives. She's a direct descendant of our
president. We had two in the presidency, and she's a direct descendant.
So here all these old portraits on the living room, picture of living room
walls, let her only claim she is a descendant of the Adamtive. So
she named her third son Adams. And one day, quite innocently, I
called in Adam, and she corrected me. He said, no, Nevill,
not Adam Adams. Well, how could Adams be greater than Adam?
When you go back in the genealogy, if you take it in a literal
sense, as given in the Book of Luke, And here comes now set
the son of Adam, who was the son of God. Now he corrects
me, No, don't call my son Adam. He's not a Jew,
he's Adams. And so what could you do with a person like that?
She has to call me long distance to tell me she got ten five hundred
backs from an overpayment in nineteen seventy one. Who cares she didn't send me
a check. I didn't notice any letter coming bringing me a part of that
ten thousand, five hundred. But he has to let me know. So
she boasts of these things, and yet the back run behind it. All
inherited from her husband, who was a descendant of one of the bishops of
the Episcopal Church of New York State. When he died, he could leave
on estate the bishop, the old bishop of eleven million dollars. Now that's
really serving the people. He was a shepherd, all right, going out
to fleece the sheep that's spoken of in Ezekiel, you shall read the Bible.
He speaks of these false shepherds who take his sheep, and then they've
fattened themselves, and their sheep go hungry. So he leaves eleven million dollars
in the days when there were no taxes, no income text, and it's
simply piled in file. So the grandson got it, and she in turn
got that much from the grandson when she divorced him after twenty one years only
ran into millions because in the meanwhile it grew and grew and grew. So
let him who glory, glory only in this that he understands and knows me,
for I am the Lord. There is no other closing within a matter
of days. I do hope you will not forget it. But it takes
reiteration, reiteration over and over and over, because so many will come claiming
all kinds of things. Many will come saying, I've just heard of the
most marvelous beings. He is Jesus the Christ. Yes, he is Christ.
Governor's gone God, hear him. There, come from all over the
country to hear one who is claiming he is Jesus the Christ. And there
is no man outside of that resultant state which is only seen in stridit.
That is the personification of the power under wisdom of God. And his name
is David. That is the Christ. But you will never know him until
the last moment when he reveals you as his father. And his father is
the Lord, or he said in the second Psalm, And the Lord said,
unto me, thou art my son. Today I have begotten thee Now
that has to be fulfilled for every word of God true truth. Is that
true? Well, I'll wait. I am telling you is to you.
I am speaking from experience. It has happened to me, and I am
not unique. You need only the saints that we all are. But I
do not differ from any child born of woman. Everyone is going to have
that experience until the story as told in the New Testament repeats itself in us
individually. Then that cosmic Christ buried in us remains in his grave, the
grave being that skull, the skull of the lamb. The day you will
come, you will know how to get in and out of it. Just
with it ease, no effort whatsoever to get in and out, and it
will be pliable. Just as she said, I put my hand upon your
skull, and it was the lamb skull, and it was so pliable,
so easy for you to move in and out. It's no effort whatsoever.
Quiet Now, you all came through either that door or the front door.
You're familiar with the front door. Most of you come through the front door.
But you can assume now by closing your eyes, that you're standing on
the street and looking at this place from the exterior rather than from the interior.
And she quite clear in your mind's eye. If you want to go
someplace and you can't afford it, put yourself there. It's all in your
imagination. And having gone there in your imagination and then seeing the world from
that point, you're going to go there. But you said, what,
I can't afford it? Who's asking you? If you can't afford it?
Then who's asking anything about how you got there? If you're there, then
you are there. If man is all imagination, he must be wherever he
is in imagination. So you go in imagination, and having gone there and
prepared it by viewing the world from it, then you return there wherever you
were physically. And then you are carried across a series of events which you
do not consciously devise and across this bridge of incident, you move under compulsion
to fulfill the place where you are standing in your imagination. You do that
in business. You want to go beyond where you are ins go beyond.
In business, fill the office that you want sit there. You don't fire
the one who occupies it. Now, let him get a better job,
let him go elsewhere to a still greener pasture. Grant him that. But
don't deny yourself what you're doing. You are actually God, but imprisoned in
this body of session blood. But do not forget who the true God is.
And so when you hear the word God, the word Lord, the
word Jehovah, the word Jesus Christ, do not let it in any way
take your mind and let it dwell on something external to yourself. The minute
that happens, come back you following the wrong God. If in anyway it
conjures the sense of an existence, something outside of you, well then you
got the wrong God. When you hear these words, they're only reminders of
your own wonderful I am this, your own wonderful human imagination that is God.
And you can test it, test it in the simple things of life.
And then from there put your hope completely upon the unveiling of this mystery
within you. It's not going to happen on the outside. You will wait
from now to eternity for some Jesus Christ to come from the outside, as
all of our evandits are teaching, waiting for him, patiently, hoping that
they'll be in the first rank when he reached them and shake his hand.
Well, I have news for them. They're all going to the cemetery before
that, and all return to little dust, these little garments of their whales.
But they will not dying. The bee that is waiting will find themselves
restored to life in a world just like this, a nineteen sol them will
not even know that they died, because really they haven't died anywhere. Nothing
dies. But they'll find themselves in a world terrestal just like this, and
still carrying on the own the old nonsense. But here you have been called
call, because no one comes unto me except my father calls him. And
if you can take it, not everyone can take it. As you're told
in the sixth chapter of John, the very end of the sixth chapter,
they all began to leave him. Very few remains and those who left say
they will leave him and never walk with him again. And he turned to
the few who remained, he said, would you go? Alson? And
Peter became the voice of the few who remained. He said, to whom
would we go? Hast thou not the words of eternal life? Will we
go? It's hard what your teaching is hard, hard to believe, hard
to accept. But if true, where are we going to go? But
I am telling you what I am teaching you is true. I am not
speculating. I'm not theorizing what I was saying. I did not know what
it was I had to tell until it began to unfold within me. And
that's what I had to tell. Tell it just as it happened to me.
And the outstanding thing was the discovery of David as the son of God.
He is the son of God. We are the gods that came down,
and collectively we form the God a great I am collectively. So in
the aid, not one will be lost, all will be redeemed, because
not one can be lost, and God remained God, for everyone is going
to be redeemed, and everyone's going to have this experience to see Davis.
So that is the one story I have come to tell you. Oh,
tell you the story of how to get things. Everybody wants something that he
has not now possessed, but still longs for it. You can all get
it. That's not important. The progress of civilization and the external marsh of
things will do. Nothing is simply fined in the kingdom. Yet day after
day, a new invention, a new billion is made from this, that
and the other. And I think, now we're really on the way.
We went to the moon, we'll go to this, we'll go to that.
None of this in any way changes you. And as you get older
and your thoughts get deeper and deeper, you realize that the progress of civilization
and the external marsh of things did not in any way change you, because
you're turned on the outside, watching the gadget another gadget, and all the
lovely things that you and I do enjoy. But you have to turn on
the inside, for the Kingdom of God is within, and that's where the
whole drama takes place. So all things exist in your own wonderful human imagination,
and all objective reality is solely produced by your wonderful human imagination. And
one day you're going to find. The drama taking place with England is not
something that took place thousands of years ago. It's something that is taking place.
If you read the Lord's Prayer as it's really written, which cannot be
translated into English from the Latin because the Latin does not possess the words to
count. The thought of the evangelists is written in the imperative passive mood.
Thy will must be being thy kingdom must be being bestored, Thy name must
be being halla. It's not something that was done or to be done.
It's something that is taking place, and we are drawn like a magnet into
that which is always taking place. And then because it's within us, it
unfolds within us, casting us in the central role. And the central role
is the father. And because his father, there must be a son,
and that son is Davy. So don't forget it, you who have taken
a tapeless night played back, because you may think I've heard it, or
i've heard that, like someone even that wonderful little story of Jonathan Cigar to
say, oh I've read it, don't say I read it. Put it
aside in your library and reread it, and reread it and read a friend
of mine wrote me today she isn't here. Many of you know who in
the hospital recently had two discs removed, and she took that book to the
hospital with them, and all the neurosurgeons and all the other surgeons came in.
They couldn't understand why she didn't have the pain that she should have after
such operation. And she took the third chapter of this book and be ready
almost committed it to memory, and lived it from wing to wing as Jonathan
Seagull became one with the fight Seagulls, who was the lord of allgalls,
and so he knew exactly through practice how to do what form he almost broke
his neck find to do now one day it would be just as easy for
you as it was to my frame. When she saw how easy it was
for me to get in and out out the lamb skulls, which is the
symbol of the skull of God. But that's where we are. We're all
contained within the one rand skull. He's like one rand dreamer, and we
but brain cells in the mind of the dreamer, dreaming strange dreams, fantastic
dreams. One day we will awake to discover we have never been asleep,
save in our dreams, that we have never died, save in our dream
that we were never born, save in our dream. And we will awake,
and we will be what was the dreamer who will now be awake?
So read the seventy eighth Psalm. I will open my mouth in a parable
and speak dark, saying from a bow, saying that our forefathers told us.
Now he tells it that the children who hear it now will tell it
to their children, and their children will tell it to their children without stop,
through all unborn generations. They become to the end of the seventy eighth
Psalm. And the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, and he called
David and appointed David the shepherd of his people Israel. He tells you the
whole thing was a parable, a story with a tremendous significance profund meaning.
But all these wonderful works of leading Israel out of Egypt into the land of
Promise, all these mighty acts, were all parallels. Find the parable of
what had happens within you. You know the parables. When the serpent within
you begins to rise like a fiery serpent, you know the parable of lifting
up the serpent in the wilderness. That was all a poor shadowing of that
reality that one day must take place within you. So all of these take
place within you, and you'll give meaning to the shadows. But he tells
you, I will open my mouth in a terrible and speak dark sayings from
of old, saying that our forefathers stoleness. And then you must tell the
next generation, the next generation, and the next, and so on and
so on. But in the eighties and then the Lord awoke as one from
sleep, one who was hurty with wine. He drank to excess, and
then he woke from that state, and then he called David from the flock
and appointed him shepherd of his people of Israel. And that's how it ends seventieth So
