Any presentation of a theory must demonstrate that it specifically relates to both this life and the next since the secularized man is far more focused on the here and now than the next. Because the promise is so incredible, if someone heard it first they could turn away in disgust, you must first appeal to the power they can experience right now if you want to interest them in the truth. Show them what they are capable of doing right now. Get them interested in the force known as “The Law,” and then maybe they’ll be curious about the promise.

Now allow me to tell you a couple of tales a man told me this week. “About ten days ago my wife told me of a little girl only fourteen months old who had developed lumps on her neck [in] which – when the doctor removed and tested a lump – there were signs of cancer. Three specialists had been brought in and each separately had declared the child had cancer. Only one doctor, looking at the results, questioned the verdict, but they were keeping the child in the hospital for further examination.

To the public, it would be insane to think that dreams may become reality, yet every mystic understands that every physical outcome has a spiritual source. There only seems to be a natural reason. Man’s memory is so bad that he cannot connect what is happening right now to an imaginary deed from the past, thus it is a hallucination of this world. Man is always looking for physical causes, so he finds it hard to believe he could have imagined something that could have produced such a physical effect. However, I assure you that whenever you sit by yourself and imagine, you are actually initiating a cause. When you experience its effects, you may dispute the existence of the imaginal state, but your “now” is alive and real to you for no other reason than the imaginal act you performed. You may think someone who says life is generated by imagination is a fool since your imagination starts things in motion, but your memory is poor; yet, Blake would refer to you as an idiot reasoner rather than a man of imagination. Now, my friend went on, “I was driving home from work the other night and I was thinking I could use a little more cash, as Uncle Sam would be making demands upon my income. Then I started to imagine lovely, green, crisp currency raining down on me. For about one minute I lost myself in a little shower of green currency. Then the traffic demanded my attention and I assumed my normal, alert state. I forgot all about my imaginal act until the morning of the fifteenth of April.

Let me now caution you to hold off on trying it until you get home tonight. Imagine the crisp money dropping on your bed rather than the freeway—much preferable! But go ahead and do it since, as I have said, everything is only a dream. The concept of physical causality does not exist. Even if it’s all made up, the world won’t accept it. They mock the man’s imagination, yet they are unable to refute it. A man could hurt another person physically. It looked to be physically formed since it was the physical cause and the blow he got was the physical outcome; yet, I ask you: what came before the need to strike? The invisible cause, which was an imaginary act, was that urge. When the universe can no longer be supported by imagination, it disappears with no trace left behind. The world is created and maintained by imagination. The gospel must first be approached on this level. One may be interested in learning about the promise if their attention is piqued on this level and it is demonstrated to be true in the testing.

I now return to the little girl. Although the clothing she is wearing is just fourteen months old by human standards, the person who is wearing it is as ancient as God, who has no beginning and no end. He picked us in him before the earth was ever created, not when we were still inside of our mothers. You and I were selected in him before we were physically created for a reason, for without a reason, what would matter if death were inevitable? That’s what a lot of dictators think, and you can’t really blame them for becoming one if they think that way. You would undoubtedly follow their example if you felt that death was the end of everything. If there were no promise, no aim, no meaning behind it, you would concur with Macbeth when Shakespeare had him say: “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.” The best narrative in the world may be told to them in the hopes that they will believe it or at least start to believe it if you can pique their interest in the law enough for them to test it and it confirms itself in performance.

Nothing asserted about Jesus can be objectively proven. He is only accessible to visionaries. The amazing tale of Jesus Christ has been played out in me while I have been residing in this mortal body and am only recognized by the mask I wear. In the hopes that you will believe me, I have confided in you, my friends, and shared my experiences with you. You view me as being in good health, yet I have experienced being crucified, buried, and then raised from the dead. I choose one of you when I was in my heavenly form to be the recipient of my everlasting eyes, which are fixed inside rather than outward, so that she would be the source of proof for my claims. She had witnessed me being nailed to a cross that was destroyed by fire, leaving a pool of liquid gold light at its foot, precisely as I had described to her what had occurred to me. She cannot be convinced that she did not have that experience, just as I cannot be convinced that I did not have that experience.

This woman is now aware of who Jesus is. She had looked behind the mask via vision and recognized Jesus for who He truly is, even though she knew me as a man with all of the flaws and restrictions of the body. He has revealed to me the secret of his will in accordance with the purpose he revealed in Christ as a scheme for the fullness of time, a purpose that entails the unification of all things in him, including both things in heaven and everything on earth. Jesus is the centerpiece of God’s internal redemption plan. This plan has manifested in me, and I have written about my experiences in my book, Resurrection, as well as with those of you who visit this site.

Now, since Jesus is from above and not at all of this world, only the visionary, only he who has the everlasting eyes, will genuinely know who Jesus is. He was the one who stated, “You are of this world and I am not of this world. You are from below and I am from above,” yet throughout history, people have been searching for Jesus in the Near East. Those who haven’t had the visions claim to know the location of his execution and burial as well as the route he took. Some even assert to own a little piece of the cross’s wood where he was nailed. They uphold a custom, nullifying what is said in Matthew 15:15 about God’s word. Jesus is not a physical being, but rather a pattern hidden in everyone, therefore by maintaining the traditions of a real Jesus, the truth has been rendered meaningless. I was as shocked as anybody could have been when this pattern began to emerge in me, and even though I continue to exist in this frail little fleshly garment and endure all of the world’s temptations, I am unable to ignore my visions.

As Luke mentions at the beginning of his story, “Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us, just as they were presented to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses…and ministers of the word, it seemed…” I have now given my immortal eyes to one who in turn gave them to another, who in turn will give them to another, so that they may all become eyewitnesses.

Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? He is your true being, your hope of glory. Unless, of course, you fail to meet the test. Test him on his level. Test your creative power, called the law. Imitate my friend and allow a gentle shower of currency to fall upon you. Believe you have received them and you will. Then share ye what ye have received.

My friend knows nothing about cancer; if he looked at a cancer cell under a microscope, he wouldn’t recognize it. He is not a doctor; he knows no more about the human body than I do. However, he does know what his wife would say if the decision was overturned and the child was healthy. When his wife informed a friend of her husband’s imaginary act, the friend (as a reasoning being) was shocked.

I want you to give it a try, and after that, I want you to question your neighbors, “Did it ever seem to you that your reality is produced – not by the evident, but by an invisible imaginal act?

I tell you: You will be a completely transformed being with a human face, human hands, and a human voice, but the form you wear cannot be described other than as light. If you find that you have captured their interest in that way, ask them to try it. If they do, and it comes to pass, then you can present them with the promise. You can tell them how their weak little garment is transformed as they rise from the dead into life everlasting.

The first word in the name YOD HEY VAV HEY means “hand,” and it is the hand of the creator that fashions. If you could not fashion a suit of clothes for your body, you would have to go nude, but given a hand, you can turn yourself into the Father’s image, which is a fiery being that you will awaken and know yourself to be. The monkey doesn’t have a hand; it cannot fashion, but with a hand you can become

Can you imagine the hell you would experience if restoration were perpetuated forever? But this is not the body you wear when you know yourself to be God. It is entirely different. It is a heaven. Most of the people you speak to will not listen to you. They would rather remain the same little being they know themselves to be and to continue to wear a garment of flesh and blood which must be taken to the bathroom several times a day to perform its normal functions.

I have known people who say they don’t like something even though they have never tried it, but I tell you: you can acquire a taste for anything. I remember the first time I had an oyster. I was about eleven years old when mother and I visited the small island of St. Croix. In those days there were no hotels, only rooming houses, and we all sat at the sand table.

You may have been taught that a woman named Mary was impregnated by God and gave birth to a physical son who was named Jesus; however, I tell you: I am a normal person, not previously educated, married, once divorced, with two children – but I have experienced everything that the law has to offer. So I say: you can develop a taste for anything in this world as well as the heavenly world.
No, he is not the little garment of flesh you wear, but an eternal pattern of redemption who sleeps in it. He awoke in a garment the world knows as Neville. Having awakened, I know I am He who became humanity that humanity may become God. She has seen the body that sleeps on the bed placed on a pallet, and then on a cross, and now knows who Jesus really is.

Those who have been enriched by the law you have taught them may turn from you because it takes a while for traditions to die, as told to us in the 15th chapter of the Book of Matthew: “For the sake of your traditions you have made void the word of God.” God now sleeps in you. He will awake and you will experience the same drama as recorded in the gospels by one called Jesus Christ, for there is no other and there never will be another being.

Those of you with incurrent eyes will see as I have predicted you would, and then you will depart to leave behind only the ministers, who will turn my experiences into their institutional concept and once again nullify the word of God. I am telling you what I know from experience, so take me seriously.

Don’t forget the promise, for without it, what would it matter if you owned the earth? I recently read the book Stalin’s daughter wrote about her father, in which she described being present when he passed away. She said that although he was paralyzed on one side, his brain was gone, and he was physically blind, he saw something that caused him to raise his good hand and motion with, it as though he were still alive.

The same being, no longer playing the part of Stalin, is now a young man, healthy and strong, continuing his life, doing something that is consistent with his life to bring out that plan of salvation called Jesus, which – hidden in him – he denied while he was here. He saw them as the chaff of life, yet today these trivial people balloon Stalin as an important figure in history. But, he has to face himself now.

I ask you to use this power called the law. Simply decide what you want, imagine a scene that would suggest you have achieved it, participate in it by giving it sensory vividness, then relax as you feel its reality. Don’t consider the means. Know your desire is already an accomplished fact and you are now enjoying it. Then have faith, for faith is loyalty to your unseen reality.

This man whose experiences I shared with you tonight said that when he first heard me, he thought I was crazy; but he tried it, and although it didn’t make sense, it worked. I know the law and the promise do not make sense from a worldly point of view, but I tell you: there is a plan of redemption buried in you which will erupt in the fullness of time, and you will experience all that is said of a man call Jesus.

We will all come together in the head, for that is where we were all crucified and buried, and it is from the head that we resurrect. Returning from this external world, we gather all together into the one state which is in the head. James Dean once said: “The creator of this infinite unity resembles an infinite brain and we but brain cells in the mind of o.

Let’s enter the stillness now.
