THE THEOLOGY OF MOSES: A VISION OF PRACTICAL GODHOOD
Let’s
give credit where credit is due: I was inspired by a comment made by
Victor Alexander regarding my post on Neville Goddard's vision (see What is
Wrong With the World and How to Fix It -- http://imagicworldview.blogspot.com/2014/05/what-is-wrong-with-world-and-how-to-fix.html
)
In his vision Neville saw an enormous field of sunflowers. All had human faces and moved in perfect unison to God's will. He saw that they were all locked in the soil, while he was free. Right next to the field was the worst of dumps. In the dump Neville saw a rat, and he caught it, and he put the rat he caught into a cage. --A strange vision.
I suggested to Alexander that Neville's vision was an illustration of God, that the Ineffable became the consciousnesses of the sunflowers who follow his light--the imagination that is the e'had, us--who, in order to become free and independent as the Ineffable wills for us, "ignoranced" our own awareness of being to the level of rats and "caged" ourselves with the body's five senses. We "died" for the joy of saving us, of setting ourselves free. --Okay, a stranger explanation.
Alexander's response was "keep writing and posting your ideas, because through your vision of the Godhood . . . ." (emphasis mine).
". . . through your vision of the Godhood?" Godhood? At first, I thought he meant 'Godhead' and had made a mistake. But, no, Alexander had "hit the nail on the head." My vision is a vision of what we all want, Godhood. "If I were God . . ."
The Godhood--the Godhood God alone has. I realized the implications, and the world change under my feet. Everything was new, different, because with Alexander's help, I had discovered the theology of Moses!
The theology of Moses is that because God is within us, as us, his Godhood is ours also--"the two shall be one flesh." God--Moses' imagination--said, "Ahiyeh Ashur ehiyeh": "I, the Eternal Creative Light, become" (Exodus 3: 14, my take on Alexander's translation). Ignoranced down to our level or not, God is who he is, and he has become us so that we may become him. So, realized Moses, it is.
It is. The Eternal, Creative Light that is God within us is the same Shining Brilliance that Adam saw in the Garden of Eden. "Adam" was Moses, and so was Eve (the Godhood is "mother" to its creation; it gives birth to it). It is for us to face that same Divine Light and to live Life, which It is, with humility and Its Godhood.
Moses was speaking autobiographically in Genesis--of himself and of his own experiences. It is his own story. The name of the book of Genesis is Creation. Creation is an effect of Godhood. One attribute for certain of the Ineffable, the Most High God, is Godhood. Moses was saying that we are Him, the Most High. Creation is what we do, know it or not and like it or not. Moses learned how to "God" in mind and to create his world nobly. Genesis is a lesson book. Godhood, or Godding, is what he wrote about. Godhood is what YHWH means; it is what Elohim does, and they are us.
Who sent you, Moses? "Ahiyeh." That is, "Nobody 'sent' me, I, the divine Almighty God, COME!"
If you want to know more about this view, I recommend you listen to Neville Goddard on Youtube.com. Most of his audio lectures and all his books and printed lectures are available free on the internet if you know how to search for them. I am not responsible for any viruses your computer might pick up--take care to protect it with the best anti-virus software and search/download wisely.
First of all, listen to God's Law and His Promise:

The lecture that starts with Neville's vision is
Unless I Go Away:

Neville was taught this "Practical Godhood" in 1930s New York by an old Ethiopian Jew, Abdullah:

It occurs to me that
How to Use Your Imagination by Neville could have been titled How to Exercise the Godhood:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKS_QIPet-k
You will soon see that there are many lectures available on the subject, and the subject is the Godhood. The Godhood is ours. The consciousness within us is Eternal Spirit. This Eternal Spirit is God. We have the Godhood.
Of course, there is only one God; there is no other. When you pray to God, go within and take your petition to our fellow consciousnesses in the e'had, up in the "field" of your mind. Show all the other sunflowers what you want by imagining it. In Neville's vision the sunflowers all moved together in perfect unison following the will of God the Father, and that Father is YOU! "Where two or three are gathered in my nature . . ." There you are. Our imaginations create together!
The theology of Moses is the practical Godhood that came with us when we came here. There is only one real Godhood, which is the God within us. When you find that the Godhood works for you, you have found Him!
