In Neville Goddard’s Final Lectures, scholar of esotericism Mitch Horowitz introduces, annotates, and collects the fullest record yet of talks the mystic giant Neville Goddard delivered in the closing months of his life in 1972. Mitch also reveals previously unknown details of Neville’s death.
Many of these valuable lectures have never before been transcribed or anthologized. Within them, you will discover Neville at the peak of his cosmic and personal vision. The teacher compellingly describes the purpose of your human journey from sleeplike ignorance to resplendent awareness, and he offers practical and compelling instructions on how to use the causative powers of your imagination—the source of all creation.
Mitch’s introduction, “Into the Silence,” newly documents the circumstances of Neville’s death and surveys the depth and range of his closing ideas, left as a testament to seekers everywhere. Mitch also annotates these lectures, providing clarifying historical and literary references. The book is rounded out with Mitch’s updated timeline of the mystic’s life.
Neville Goddard’s Final Lectures is a capstone and legacy capturing some of the teacher’s most supple thought. It is, finally, a tribute and testimony to a man who gave us a vastly greater understanding of humanity’s purpose and destiny.
Neville Goddard was a writer, speaker and mystic. He taught various self-help methods for testing his own claim that the human imagination is omnificent, therefore God. He achieved popularity by reinterpreting the Bible and the poetry of William Blake.
If any friend of mine tonight was accused of any crime in this world and they asked me, what should I do? What is your opinion? I would say forgive him. If my daughter, my wife, the dearest of my heart, had committed the most horrible crime in the world and I was called as a witness and the judge asked me, what would you do? What would I do? I would forgive her. I wouldn't care what anyone I love did, I want them forgiven. That's what he's saying. Love your neighbor as yourself. Am I going to stand in judgment and pass judgment? She is deserving of death. She's deserving of this, that, and the other. No, not as I understand Scripture, not as I understand the unity of being. I want to forgive every aspect to my own being for, in my own being, I caused it. I could not become aware of it were it not within me that it happened. It happened in me. Now I witness it and it bears witness to what I did within myself. The whole vast world is myself pushed out.
