Volume 10 - Neville Goddard Lecture Series

The Shaping of the Unbegotten.

0:12

We are told in Paul's letter to the Ephesians, 5-1, Be imitators of God as dear children, so we must find out what God did.

0:21

We are told he called a thing not seen, as though it were, and the unseen became seen.

0:27

Romans 4-17 The one who had the vision, and I turn to one that is blank, and Blake said, Many suppose that before the creation, all was solitude and chaos.

0:39

This is the most pernicious idea that can enter the mind, as it takes away all sublimity from the Bible, and limits all existence to creation and to chaos.

0:48

But listen to the next statement, Eternity exists, and all things in eternity, independent of creation, which was an act of mercy.

0:58

No scientist today believes that.

1:00

They think we came out of chaos.

1:02

They think the whole thing began to evolve out of something that wasn't.

1:06

And here one with vision tells us, eternity exists and all things in eternity, independent of creation, which creative act was a merciful act.

1:16

Now, what does he mean by it?

1:18

Well, I have had a vision and I know what Blake is telling the truth.

1:22

So I am telling the truth based upon my vision.

1:25

Everything in this world is forever What you now see, what former people saw, what

1:33

they are going to see, everything is forever.

1:33

These are parts of the eternal structure of eternity.

1:35

This body, this little lectern, everything in the world is but a little part of the eternal structure of eternity.

1:42

It didn't come into being at all.

1:43

It always was, all the stars, everything on earth, all part of the eternal structure of eternity.

1:50

Now he speaks of creation as an act of mercy.

1:53

And here you are as body.

1:55

I am as a body, and all these bodies, everything, and then God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness, Genesis 126.

2:05

For here man is part of the structure of the universe, but here God is saying, let us make man in our image after our likeness, and that is an act of mercy.

2:15

And so he takes man as I would take a tree and say to you, let us make a tree and mold it into our being after our likeness Let us give to us the qualities that we possess, our creativity.

2:26

It can't create in itself, it is simply the universe, and it's all part of the structure.

2:32

The whole vast world is simply the universe, and it's all a part of the structure.

2:36

And God is shaping himself now, God, the unbegotten, is begetting himself.

2:41

And so he begets himself in me, he begets himself in you.

2:46

When he completes the act of begetting himself in us, we are God We are that which could now use the same structure to be get anything that we can conceive of.

2:56

So, God takes man, part of the eternal structure of the universe, and begets himself in man.

3:01

And when he begets himself in man, the state begotten is the one who begotten.

3:06

God in man, or the thing that came out of man by God's act, are God.

3:12

Now I am told, let the individual imitate God as a dear child.

3:16

I am told, everything is.

3:19

Eternity exists in all things in eternity, independent of creation Now I am going to create.

3:25

God was the Creator.

3:27

It all exists in dependent of creation.

3:30

So how would I do it?

3:32

I can't think of anything that doesn't exist.

3:34

I think of you in unnumbered states of mind when you like me dislike me, you're sympathetic, unsympathetic.

3:40

I can think of you in unnumbered ways.

3:42

But I want to create something now.

3:44

I want to create something that is lovely for myself.

3:47

So I bring you into my mind's eye and I bring another into my mind's eye And then I have in my imagination a little party.

3:54

Say a cocktail party, a tea, a dinner, and I control the imagery that I have brought into my mind for it all exists in eternity.

4:02

But I bring you without your knowledge, without your consent.

4:05

Then I control the entire moment of time, make it a minute or five minutes anytime, not too long I control it.

4:12

But I so arrange the imagery that it implies something other than what it was prior to the arrangement.

4:18

I bring you all into my mind's eye and allow you to hear something that is taking place I allow you to see me as you would see me where things desire them to be.

4:27

And so I am be getting something.

4:29

I am actually shaping myself, the unformed upon the form.

4:33

For all things in this world are already part of the structure of eternity, every bean.

4:37

So I bring a bean, it is part of the structure.

4:40

I bring another bean, it's a man, another bean, it's a woman.

4:44

And so I arrange them in my mind's eye that when I put them into that form, they see me as they would see me, where my dreams realized It's my dream I am beginning.

4:54

But I am be getting on the structure of the universe, that which does not exist.
