Faith Is Loyality To Unseen Reality - Neville Goddard

0:00to find a very helpful message. The term of faith is the assurance of things helpful, the conviction of things not seen. By faith we understand that the word was created by the word of God. So that things which are seen were made out of things which do not appear. If you see it clearly, you will see that faith does not give reality to unseen things. It is loyalty to the unseen reality that gives meaning to the word faith.

1:06All things exist. The eternity exists and all things in eternity in dependent of creation. So on this level, the shadow level, we do not see the reality. We do not see the source, the cause of it all. That's where we are called upon to exercise faith, loyalty to unseen reality. It really is the abandonment of self. It's an act of self-commission and men cannot commit in self to what he does not love. And spiritual faith is faith in God. So any idea that we have of God,

2:09because it does not continuously call for, out of our heart the feeling of love, is not a true idea of God. So the whole basic matter is that God is love. I speak from experience. I stood in the presence of infinite love and his man. So I do not have the problem. Others would have concerning this presence that is love. I can heal through instances where I know he exists. He knows he exists in me. I also know he exists in you.

3:10You may not be aware of it. I can only ask him to believe it. I need to complete it to this presence within you, or buy him all things in age. And without him was not anything made that is made. So tonight we will show you what I have done in the past with great success. And how it operates. Now, if I wanted something in this world and who doesn't, I would formulate an act which would imply that I had it. And then in my imagination I would simply having performed that act. I would yield completely to this being within me to execute it. I would fall off into sleep,

4:13convene that he heard that he saw my act in faith. When we were told in the same 11 chapter that I spoke to him when I first started, the 11 chapter of the official to the Hebrews. Right? We must come to God, believe in the God exists. And unless we believe that he exists, we cannot please him. So who would fall near to God must believe that he exists. Without faith it is impossible to please him. And so if I took the 13th chapter of Corinthians, called Wonderful Him in praise of love and paraphrasing, though I speak in terms of main and angel,

5:17I had the power of prophecy that I understood all mystery and all knowledge. And though I gave all that I had, it gave it away, though I gave my body to be burned and had not faith, I cannot please him. I cannot please him without faith. If I am not on the service level of my being, I am not going to do it. I simply yield completely to him having acted. It's an act of self-commissioned. I perform the act, what act? I act as though I had what I sought. I act as though I heard that you have what you asked me. I perform an act and then I yield completely to that depth of my own being,

6:18who is God, and allows him from that depth to externalize his form. As he tells us in the 50th chapter of Isaiah, your ways are not my ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways. So do not ask how it would have been done. And I have to do it to complete the year to this being within me. For he has ways and means, I, on this level of my being, know not of. I rise them under compulsion. And under this compulsion I go through a series of events which will lead up to the fulfillment of that to which I year. I assume that it's done. And then I commune with myself and gave thanks within me that it is done.

7:19And it works in every way, even in the most marvelous things like this for instance. I was raining it here, but he didn't think he could make it. But I thought he is glad of this being. He said, last week, having heard you over the years, and having received a hunger from your interpretation of scriptures, for we are told in scripture in the book of Ayman, I will send a famine upon the world. He will not be a hunger for bread or thirst for water, but for the hearing of the Word of God. When that hunger comes upon you, not a thing in this world can satisfy you, but an experience of God. So he said, I am a stockbroker. And things have been very, very slow since the bottom of 1970.

8:23The market has written, but people with money will not come into it because undoubtedly they were burned, fire at it. Yet the market is really healthy today, it's growing and growing and growing. Yet I must confess, things have been slow. I have a wife, I have a daughter who is a minor, I have obligations to life, and yet in spite of the fact I should read these things first, the hunger for an experience of God supersedes all other hunger. And so I went home from your meeting, and I said to myself, I commune with myself, or you taught me to believe that the self, the depth of my own being is God, that sensible awareness that is God. As a God you states this hunger upon me, a hunger for an experience of you,

9:23give me, as said in the 86 Psalm, show me a sign of your faith, just a sign of your faith. Well, I have heard we, which I did not recall, until Friday morning, on the way to my office, as is my custom, I turned on your tape. I carry a tape with me, and to the office I turn it on and I listen to that first. Some things are clicked with endings, and the memory returned, and I remembered the dream of the previous night, and the dream was this. I found myself in an ancient world, I knew from the feeling, from the atmosphere, from everything about it, it was an ancient world. And suddenly I used, not now, from a wooden fence, and leaned again, a post,

10:25and instantly I knew that he was David. Here is David. I knew he was my son, yet he didn't speak. I didn't speak, but he didn't come until I was driving on the freeway, driving to my office. I have no memory of the previous experiences that you say one must have, prior to the coming of David. So I'm a little bit confused, rather than an ad-embration, rather than a foreshadowing of the event that must take place. I will say to him, now, like he is in this office, yes, is the most wonderful foreshadowing. When it happens, you will be so stirred, you will awake from the state.

11:26It won't happen that way, it will happen out of your own style, because hell will explode. That's how it happens. The whole thing is contained within man, within this color man. And when David comes in the true form, he actually comes after the explosion in your own style, although the whole thing came to an end, and when the whole thing settled, he stands before you, and he calls you father. And you know he is your son, and he knows you are his father. And then by this relationship, you know you are God. So this is the most marvelous ad-embration, the foreshadowing, in a not altogether conclusive or immediately evident way, but who knows the time? It could happen now in the fullness of itself, tonight. Tomorrow, I am not going to predict

12:27when it's actually going to happen, but I do know it will happen. He's been given a sign, show me a sign of thy favor, and the sign came. So I tell you, tonight's subject is on faith, and faith is something that mirrors all, grasp the significance of it. So without faith, it is impossible to please it, and it's seen exalteth, good, bad, and indifference, and makes it through faith, kindeth the mystery of faith. Now faith does not give reality to the unseen things, it is joyous to the unseen reality, for all things exist, which you only saw everything in eternity exists. Man exists, man is part of the eternal structure of the universe.

13:27He doesn't grow out of a world, as our evolution is saying. Evolution is confined to the affairs of man, not to the creation of God. Yes, I take a hole, and then I turn from a hole, digging a little air with a hole, into a tractor, and I'll find something far better than the tractor. So I will sum across the ocean, or rather sum across a little river, and then I'll find a raft, they will take things, and I'll find a little boat, they will take things. There are for a sail on it, and they'll do better. Then I will take something more than the sail, and I'll find something with steam, that I go beyond the steam, and I'll find nuclear energy, and then I simply, this is simply evolution in the affairs of man. So instead of walking across the continent, I now fly across the continent. That's evolution in the affairs of man,

14:29but there is no evolution in the creation of God. It still remains a sail, a marvelous sailor, and we're all under compulsion to study it, and all right, to pass our lessons in evolution, as though the thing was proven. There is one single bit of evidence in the world, to support the theory, the hypothesis of evolution, not one. Yet it's compulsory, and all the universities of the world, as though it had been proven. In the affairs of man, yes, but not in the creation of God, man as he is, and all things as they are, they are the eternal part of the structure of the universe. Eternity exists, and all things in eternity, in the independent of creation, which was an active person.

15:29So when God said, let us make man, in our image, man existed. Did you say, let us make something, and call it man, let us make man, man existed, in our image, and God became man. There is no way to make him in his image, until God actually becomes man. So God became as we are, that we may be as he is, and he's not pretending that he's a man, he has to completely forget that he is God, and lose all members of his power that is God, and take upon himself the weaknesses of the invocation of man. And in this, he now is forming himself into his own like this, which is God. He is racing within himself, that which he became, redeeming everything in his world,

16:31that is the power that is God. Now, I hope you are here as man. You want to be a new name, you want to be successful, in the world of Caesar, in dollars and things, nothing wrong with it. You want to be a successful doctor, successful lawyer, successful, I don't care what it is. You want to be, or then formulating your mind's eye, what it would be like, if it were true. How would you see the world if you were now the man that you would like to do? Seething your mind's eye, and then yield yourself completely to the depth of your own being. How do I do that? You'll be fall asleep in the assumption. I dare to assume that I am the man that at the moment we is in denial, and then fall asleep in their assumption. Leavely completely to the depth of my own being, to externalize it in my world. I will wake tomorrow morning under compulsion

17:31to do certain things, which I had not formulated. I had not determined. I will find I will meet the right people. I will do this, I will do that, I will do the other. And all I have talked about is the externalization of my assumption. Just as in his case, he now has a sign of God's favor. The depth of his own being responded to his abandonment. It is a complete self-abandonment. It happens, and I can't commit myself to what I do not love. I can't do it. So if my idea of God does not bring forth within me the sense of love, for then I have the wrong God. If I know that He is in full of love, believe me, He is. But the devil can't have the actual experience and you will know that God is all right. I stood in His presence.

18:32And God is man. The world is of God is not a man. He is the impersonal force, therefore He is that God is man. He is ancient of grace, without beginning, without aim. As He said, concerning David, he said, although he was a youth, he is seen to have no beginning, no aim. He is seen like the ancient of grace and yet he was young, as described in the Book of Samuel. Here is this youth, just as described in the Book of Samuel, the 16 chapters, the first Samuel. That's the one I saw. That's the one you're going to see. For where it is now? He is within you. He put eternity into the mind of men, yet so, that men cannot find out what he has done from the beginning to the end. That's what he put into the mind of men.

19:34That's what he put there. The Father understands. God Himself entered death door, the human star. And He laid down in a grave, the human star. And He is dreaming the dream of life that man is dreaming. And in the end, He will awake. And when He awake, He is the being in whom He entered. The being in whom He awaits. So, you were John, you were awake as you. And because you was a father, before he entered you, when you awake as you were a father. And because his son before he entered you, was David, when you were awake, your son is David. David, a biblical frame, is the son of God. That's the Messiah. That's the Christ. That's the power under this humiliation. So, when he knew that power,

20:34with he knew that wisdom, to do anything that you desire in this world. So, this is the faith of which I speak. How do I do it? You can sit right here. You've got a better night as you're told in the fourth song, commune with your own self upon your bed. And be silent. You don't commune with another. You commune with your own self. That's God. For the so-called man is God. When you say, I am God's God, there is no other God. But you don't see Him. Now, He is becoming visible, and in the office night, in the world, was when God became invisible. He told the story to all of us, before we set forth. Then He became invisible, and took up His residence in us.

21:37He became invisible. And in us, He is I am, my own wonderful human imagination. That's God. I see my imagination, that I see object in space. For imagination is the reality that is causing these objects in space. So I see the fruits of its activity, but I do not see it, because it is invisible. Today will come, I will say it. I have seen it. He is the ancient of days, just as it's cried, in the seventh chapter, the Book of Daniel. And also, in the Book of Revelation, just as he is crying, he has no beginning, no end. He is the ancient of days, but is infinite love. There is nothing but love. Yet, He will wait on us, just as swiftly, and as indifferent,

22:37when the will in us is evil, as when it is good. So, because He who does all things, I kill, I make a lie. I wound, I heal. I do all this. And none can deliver out of my head. So, if the will in man is evil, he was executed. If it is good, he would execute it, because there is no other creation. Because entirely up to man, what he imagined, what am I going to imagine? Remember, when I imagined, I must imagine, and then complete the year, that is faith. So, by faith, we understand that the world was created by the word of God. What word? A spoken word? Your soul, in the beginning, was the word, and the word was for God, and the word was God. God Himself, and His Son, is David.

23:38I have found in David, a man after my own part, who will do all my will. So, anywhere, good, bad or indifferent, is that power in you, or he is defined in the Scripture as the power of God, and the wisdom of God. So, the power and the wisdom, to create anything in this world, is how it's within man, that is David. And then comes to the end of the journey, the next question within his head, and then that power, and that wisdom of God, comes out for signified, as that eternal use, to which his son, the son is David. And you are the one, who will wake, and you are the Lord, the Lord, or Jesus. So, who is Jesus? That eternal question. I read in the morning spaper, rather yes, the morning spaper. The Archbishop Cantiburus spoke,

24:38the first Archbishop, ever to speak its impactions, in New York City. And the Cardinal introduced him, he had a standing ovation, that turned the crowds away, that Cathedral was filled to capacity. And this Archbishop Cantiburus, as he spoke to the crowd, and he went up to Riverside Church, and he spoke there, he had seen in the interval, he saw Jesus superstar, but I haven't seen the play. And he commented on it, he didn't quite describe it, he said it comes at intervals, it comes close to a certain Christian faith, but a certain passage is in it, he thought offensive, but they did not say who is Jesus, not that if he is the Archbishop, he just would say who is Jesus.

25:38Who is Jesus? I'll tell you, Jesus is the man in whom the will of God is fulfilled. And that will be true of every child born a woman. Jesus is the man in a compass, the work that is followed gave him to do. When he accomplishes that work, he is his father. Man matures when he becomes his own father, and the people come, everyone will awake, and he will be the father. That is when he fulfilled the will of God, as we have told in Jeremiah, the 23rd chapter. The word is wrongly translated, anger, the anger of the Lord will not turn back. That word anger means breathing forfeited,

26:40a terrible breath. It doesn't have to be an angry breath because you are breathing forfeited. The word breath and the word spirit are the same in both Hebrew and Greek. So the spirit of the Lord will not turn back until it has executed and accomplished the intents of my mind. In the latter days, you will understand this clearly. From the very end, you will understand it will not turn back because he has a purpose, the purpose is to brainstorm into God. As God, not something just to reflect it, but as God. So you came down, you are the God that came down, you are the elderly. You were being taught beneath your own word, you came out of the swamp. And suddenly you became a catpole, and you became something else,

27:41and finally you find yourself a man. Forget it. You are the God who came down from heaven. And assume the restriction, the limitation of man, which is the limit of contraction, and you were stupid. And you are going to fulfill a definite purpose in man, while you walk the earth as man, that predetermined plan you are up within you, and the whole thing will unfold within you. Beginning with the resurrection. The resurrection did not take place in the near east, in some little place where they are looking for it now. It takes place in man. Man is where God is buried. The holy separator is the color of man. It is not in the near east. The Bethlehem that they are talking about is in the color of man.

28:43The giant is holy place where he dwells that is the color of man. And the whole drama unfolds within man. And man awakens within himself, to find himself completely sealed within his style, and he comes out like a child being born out of his own style. And then, two months later, comes the explosion in his skull, and that compartment that contained the sun of God, who was his will, who was his wisdom, releases the sun. You would not let my soul remain in hell, say, in the 16th Psalm. So he brings him up, he resurrects the sun, and the sun is David. And maybe look at the Father, and the Father for the first time, knows who he is, and he returns. And the Father, the sun was the one who we've built into himself.

29:46So the whole drama unfolds within man, and the whole thing is contained within the color of man, has nothing to do with anything on the outside. They are looking in vain, all the archaeologists, and they bring back all this nonsense. I was on TV one night with one archaeologist, and then a Baptist minister, a Baptist, a Baptist, a Baptist minister, and here I have all these groups around me, and this man brought a piece of cloth, and he said, this is taken from the tools of Christ. Are you kidding? No, he was sincere. He was very serious, he is an archaeologist. This is taken, where in some strange way, light has impressed the fun of this cloth, the image of Jesus.

30:46I said, you are an archaeologist, and it was brought there, but they are benches. Here is the other follow, here is the Baptist. And I have no degrees, none of these things have been felt of that. I said to the archaeologist, do you look like that picture? He said no, that's the picture of Christ. I don't know, Scripture. It does not get a pair of these should be, but we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, and she'll see him as he is. Do you look like him? You'll never see Christ, have you seen in yourself? You are the Lord Jesus Christ. The Baptist then said, you are just taking from me 2000 years of Christianity. I said, I can take it from you, I should. Because if it's true, I can't take it from you. And if I have taken your from you, for then it's good I've taken your from you.

31:46You're taking like that. There are no such things, this piece of cloth might show. Well, that's what our great writer says, Mark's reign, he went across Europe. Now, as he traveled, there brought pieces of cloth. This was taken from his road. And this piece of wood, that was taken from his cross. He said, if you took all the wood together, it could build a huge house. And that was the cross he bore on his shoulder on the way to Goldoffer. With all the little pieces of cloth together, it could actually close an army. And people fall for it. Can you imagine that? They're looking at the holy cloth, holy piece of wood. There is nothing outside of man. The whole drama takes place within man. It has the thing to do with anything outside. You live in a world of shadows. And the drama is within.

32:47So let us now get back to this simple approach of faith. Do you know what you want? Either for yourself or for another? Construct the scene which would imply the fulfillment of your dream. Just construct it. And to enter it just as though it would true. Feel what it would feel like, if it were true. And just stand to the one who is going to execute it. It's your own being I venture. That is the depth of your own being. He is the father, having yet found him. But he is the father. I've known now on the surface of your being. So fall asleep in the condition that things are as you desire them to be, in confidence that he will execute it.

33:50I use the word he is yourself. But for clarity say, I say he. Because you are not aware of him as yet. You will be one way. Everyone will be aware of their being. And because that being has one son. And that one son is the son of all. We are one. We are millions of gods, only one god. But the one god is made up of a brotherhood. And we are the brothers. Raising ourselves to the level of the one god. And that one god has one son, that the son is dreaming. If I've been saying to tell you this and tell you I will, I must. If only a few hear it, what does it matter?

34:53Who hear it with conviction? Because I tell you the truth, it will last. I am not here to set up some littleism. I am not here to speculate and try to set up some little philosophical setup that may work. No. I want no church, noism. It's to tell you who you are. And you will tell it to others. Others will tell it because in the end you're going to prove it to be true. You can't drop it out because it is true. All that I have told you is true. I'm not speculating. I'm not theorizing. I stood in the presence of the infinite being in his infinite love. And he embraced me. And he sent me. Asked me embrace me. Therefore love embraces me. I was guided by love. It became one body. The children's scripture, he who is united to the Lord, becomes one spirit.

35:54So in the end is only one body, one spirit, one Lord, one God, and part of all. Who is above all, who all and in all. So don't go looking for him in any so-called holy place in the world. He has been in this late morning, unisoned by so-called holy man, and comes to you, the holy person, turns around and starts running. All these holy fellows, they just continue to meet you and meet you in the crowd. Next thing they do, they run to the bank. What was in your pocket? Just picked up one fellow here, he is trying to off to Switzerland, and he was in Spain after having collected a fortune. He was $300,000 of him on him, and he was at a Mara Rishi that came up through this country. It wasn't the Mara Rishi, it was his secretary running off the Switzerland

36:55where you put it into your space bank. And all the people fall for it. Morning, noon and night. And so if you take Noah, you hate to hear it, because people hate to know, the others know they were the guys. And some of those who gave their fortunes to him, $500,000, to teach them how to meditate above an nonsense in the world. Teach you how to meditate. It's just a simple, simple thing. You don't meditate on your navels. You don't meditate on any of these things whatsoever. You know what you want? Well, the feeling be like it would prove. What would it be like? Assume the feeling of the wishful feel for anyone can do that, a child can do that. What would it be like if it were true? That's better, maybe. Now ye are completely. And the being will in you will take that and externalize it for you, meditating on your kuru, in your quiet office nonsense.

37:56As the things it would be, I'm going into a so-called diet. Diet will not make you or prevent you to God. Give your palate, if you may, or then exercise the palate too. And so I'm going to go on a certain diet. And am I going to the diet of things that you should only feel paris? Well, he isn't a parrot. He's eating pumpkin seeds, eating all these things. If you really enjoy them, but don't tell me that you really enjoy them. Of course you could acquire a taste for anything I don't. So you can't. For exercise that God-given gift is the palate. I simply enjoy it. So to come down to the nice message on faith, drive faith, the world will create it by the Word of God.

38:58Faith is not give reality to the unseen things. Faith is loyalty to unseen reality. So this thing exists. All things exist. I tried with my own experience that for the entire world, that is unseen to those worlds, exists now. It asks to exist. Not out there, beyond the stars, not right there. It's all existing right here. And the day will come, that you will actually awake and you'll be able to step into these unnumbered sections of time. A thousand years ago has not passed away. And two thousand years from now, it's not something that is going to suddenly fall itself. It is now. And you are simply in a section of time. And the day will come, that you will be able to move into any section of time.

39:58All these things exist now. And the purpose of it all is to be too awakened. And when you're awakened, who are you? You are the author of it all. You are God. God's the creation. And God's the creation is a father. And the father, son, is simply the sum total of all the experience of the humanity. He was into a single being. And that single being for sonnified is David. But he is no other Christ. David is the Christ. The anointed. Listen to these words in the 89th song. I have sung David. These are the words of the Lord speaking. I have sung David. With my holy oil, I have not known today. The downed one is the Messiah.

41:00That's what the word Messiah means. And Messiah means the same as Christ. It's the identical meeting. Now go down, a few verses, and come to these. He South cry unto me. That's future. And I just spoke to him. He's an accomplished fact. I have sung David. With my holy oil, I have anointed him. That's done. Now he shall cry unto me, though art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. That's future. It will happen to everyone. But the whole thing has already been accomplished. Now it's completely contained within this color man. That's where the whole drama is unfolding. And when it unfolds, you are God's father. And your son is David. If the whole fast world rose in opposition

42:00because they were taught differently, it would make no difference to me what's available. But he has accepted some misconcept of the great story as told in Scripture. The New Testament only interprets the old. The old is the foundation. The new interprets the old. Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism. But Judaism is the foundation that is the free. And Christianity is the proof of that free. And so to bring something else into it is stupid. Where in the old which is the creed, is it stated who is the Son of God? And Scripture cannot be broken. It's the ones who is anointed with the holy oil of God. Is it not David?

43:00Why is it anointed him? This is he. And then the Spirit of God came upon him and promised him from that day forward, never lost the battle. Or I have found in David the Son of Jesus, a man after my own part. And Jesse Mehins Jehovah exist. Everyone one day will know this is the father of David. Therefore, he is the Jehovah who exists. That is what Scripture is teaching. It is not secular history. man stops looking at it, and spectacular his biggie is not going to understand the Scripture. But to come back to our wonderful approach tonight. You want a better job? One woman, you want this, you want that, don't be ashamed of it. Who gives you the urge, the form of a deed? You have the desire, it came from the depth of your own being, so he can execute it.

44:03He only asks you to have faith. Faith is what? Faith in him. Have faith in us. All right? Where is he? He's my own wonderful human imagination. I cannot see the full film now, but he will do it. For now, assume that I am already the man that I want to be, and yield completely to that assumption. And follow sleep. Just completely follow sleep and completely forget it. A lady who is here tonight, she called me up on the phone here just a few days ago. And ask something of me. I will not tell you, it's too personal. But she asks me to please, here for a certain thing. It's so simple. I sat in my chair after I spoke to her on the phone and heard her tell me, but she came back tonight and told me.

45:03It has happened. She's here, you see the here's night. Drove all the way from San Bernardino to tell me this telling me. I'm just simply worked. What did I do? Didn't cost me anything? Are we not told in the 55th chapter? Have I zoned out? Come by wine, by milk without money? Cost you nothing? What does it cost anyone to have trading done? I could have priced on it. I charge anyone. It costs nothing.
