I AM

This lecture explores the biblical revelation of God as I AM, dwelling within human imagination. God speaks first from without, then awakens from within. Neville discusses Moses as a state of consciousness to be born, the symbolism of scripture, and the practical application of assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled.

Neville Goddard interprets the commandment "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one" as identifying God with your own I AM awareness. He describes three earth-shaking events: Old Testament prophecy, New Testament fulfillment, and the personal experience of awakening. He recounts his own visionary experiences and explains that Jesus Christ is the pattern or way back to the Father, not a historical person outside yourself.

Neville explains that messengers are not to be merged with their message or worshipped as idols. He clarifies that God is one's own I AM, the human imagination. The lecture focuses on separating the messenger from the message, the meaning of the lamb as symbol, and the discovery of David as the Son of God representing the individual's awakened state.

Neville Goddard explores the identity of Jesus as the I AM within every person, drawing on scripture, his father's and brother's life stories, and his own visions. He explains that all of reality is a dream pushed out from the dreamer, and that by remaining faithful to the inner vision, one can transform their world.
