Neville's Grand Prophecy: The Promise Fulfilled

I hope you will avail yourself of Neville Goddard's grand prophecy, the audio lecture "Unless I Go Away" (John 16:7). It is the clearest statement we may ever hear of what is going on, of what this world, which is our lives, and all the universe are all about. I have listened to it unnumbered times (as Neville would say). It only gets better as I grow in comprehension of the dynamics involved.

Speaking of dynamics, it might help you to know that Victor Alexander translation of John 16:7, the beginning idea of Neville's insight, is "It will benefit you that I am going." Not away, but going!!! Jesus has not departed and left us, but sunken within us, invisible to us yet WITH US, is waking us up to our godhood so that WE are going away from this world. When the spirit of God in us -- Jesus -- is ascending, the Advocate (Holy Spirit) manifests in that action. God is thus never more present, because he is working on our awareness of consciousness/imagination, which he IS! God is never closer to us than when we are going through the last of our three days in this dump. He was never apart from us, but now we are aware of him.

The thing to remember is, "Be hearted, I have conquered the world" (John 16:33 Alexander). That is the way to live -- hearted! It isn't: “I have left you, but here is the Holy Spirit to pray to.” But, “Be hearted, for we are in this together.” Do you see the difference in how Alexander's translation turns the scripture right-side out? I cannot for the life of me understand why Victor Numrud Alexander has not been awarded a Nobel Prize for what he has done.

Everything in the world has meaning, says Neville. We cannot yet understand it, but everything has meaning, for God is meaning, and God is the world. He is playing every part. The Gospels are an active story. And we were as the sunflowers in Neville's vision -- we bowed and bent to God's command as prophets. God does not want prophets only, but independent persons of his nature. The world is somehow a perfect poem, a son to God. The characters are real, and every one God. To the son God has given a promise. The promise is that "As for the Father there is Life through his trinity, so also He has given the Son Life through his trinity" (John 5:16 Alexander). A promise which is fulfilled in God's economy, and "must be being" in ours.

What a wonderful prophecy is "Unless I Go Away."
