----------------------


In this lecture, Neville Goddard reaffirms that the only subject he ever truly discusses is the power of imagination—which he equates with God and Jesus Christ. He asserts that man's imagination is vast enough to contain all possibilities, and that no one can experience anything unless they have first walked there in imagination.

The Central Teaching: Imagination is God


Neville identifies the eternal body of man as imagination, which Scripture refers to as Jesus. He challenges traditional religious interpretations that limit Jesus to a historical figure, instead presenting him as the personification of divine creative power within every individual.


He explains that nothing happens without first being imagined—consciously or unconsciously. Every event in life, from personal circumstances to world affairs, is the outpicturing of imaginal activity. Whether or not one recognizes this truth, imagination is the driving force behind all events.


The Power of an Imaginal Act


To illustrate this principle, Neville shares an example of how a lawyer's imaginal act led to a significant real-world event. The lawyer passionately imagined a future scenario while defending a case, and years later, events unfolded exactly as he had foreseen. This highlights Neville's key point:

The interval between the imaginal act and its realization may be longer than we remember, leading us to deny our own harvest.

He warns that people often fail to recognize the connection between what they once imagined and what later manifests, leading them to dismiss imagination as the cause.


Faith is Response to Revelation


Neville emphasizes that faith is not about acquiring new knowledge through external means but is instead a response to revelation. The greatest revelation, he asserts, is the realization that imagination is Jesus Christ, the creative power of God.

This means:

  • Prayer is simply imagining with feeling and intensity.
  • The Bible is a psychological drama happening within the individual, not a historical record.
  • Accepting this truth allows one to walk "the new and living way" into the Holy of Holies—the realization of divine identity.

The Inner Path to God

Neville references the Book of Hebrews (Chapter 10) to describe this new and living way, explaining that:

  • Entry into the Holy of Holies (divine realization) is through the "blood of Jesus."
  • The curtain that separates man from God is the "flesh of Jesus"—one’s own sense of self.
  • Upon spiritual awakening, the individual experiences a profound inner event where the body is metaphorically "torn" and they ascend into divine realization.

He describes this moment as a lightning bolt splitting the body, revealing a living, liquid gold substance—the true blood of Jesus—which then carries the individual into the Holy of Holies, their own skull, where they merge with God.

The Ultimate Awakening


Neville teaches that this journey is about awakening to one’s true nature as God. He states that:

  • Everyone will eventually experience this unveiling.
  • It happens in stages—first through the practical use of imagination (the "law") and later through mystical experiences (the "promise").
  • One's ability to experience divine awakening depends on how far they are willing to "walk in imagination."

Key Takeaways

  1. Your imagination is God. Everything in your world is a reflection of what you have imagined.
  2. You cannot experience what you have not first imagined. Everything unfolds from within.
  3. Faith is responding to revelation. Accepting imagination as the creative power of God leads to transformation.
  4. The "Holy of Holies" is within you. Entry into divine realization is an inner experience, not an external event.
  5. All will ultimately awaken to their divine identity. The journey may be long, but it is inevitable.

Final Message

Neville urges his listeners to fully accept the power of imagination, for it is the only true path to transformation and awakening. The moment one truly understands this, they begin walking "the new and living way"—the path of realizing their own divinity.

ABOUT NEVILLE GODDARD:

Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was an English writer, speaker and mystic. He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. 


Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century’s most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.


Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.


Neville’s thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.


He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.
