Neville Goddard's Live This Death Again Until Branches Resolve: How Will You Be Remembered?

Neville had a novel and unique understanding of life and death. I did not understand it, and was corrected here. FYI, I thought Neville had said that after we die, we come back awakening as "twenty-somethings" living a new life. I rejected the idea, as everyone is born as an infant and we do not have twenty-year-olds popping into existence. "No, no, no," I was corrected. When we "die," we go back to an earlier time in this same life and branch off onto a different track than we had taken last time. The old track is forgotten, but the childhood remains.

Neville discussed two men in Barbados. He knew them in the natural as elderly gentlemen. They had certain interests, opinions, etc.. They died. Neville met them again in their subsequent branch-off lives where he noted they still had the same interests and opinions they had previously. Just now they were taking off on their new lives as twenty-somethings with those established personalities instead of developing them anew. Apparently, as consciousness we do this over and over and over again, forgetting what is behind and pressing on to the upward calling. Logically, we are living them all simultaneously and not sequentially, which is super mind-blowing (the stars are progressing at a million miles per hour, no joking, so our lives are fixed to their progression in a lifetime).

Each branch of life is forgotten, but its development is incorporated as we break out in a new branch from our previous history. We live again from the past of the same life, until we graduate awakened aware of our godhood. The wicked do, too. Their branches challenge our branches. It would appear that we live all the links of the chain of our potential at once, ends joining beginnings at the onset of the branches. "Dat's gotta be 'magination!" Amen.

How will this branch be remembered? Its end will begin what? Neville in one experience was with, I believe, his sister-in-law and his secretary, Jack. Neville's sister-in-law did not accept his understanding of life and death. Jack had died, and was present as a "twenty-something." Neville pointed out the fact that Jack was there. "So?" she replied. "Don't you remember? Jack died. I buried him." Jack scoffed. "Who died? That's funny. I died, but I'm not dead!" His sister-in-law remembered that Jack had died, and that Neville had presided at his funeral. And yet there he was. "Oh." She'd carry this new opinion with her into her next branch, moving closer to awakening. Jack? He'll get there, too.

We are living conscious of a potential. Probably living a lot of them we are not conscious of. This is the one we are conscious of right now. It is an opportunity. The Jew we call Jesus turned hard into the practice of prayer, faith, and the perspective of oneness in that life. Pressed himself toward graduation from his LAST branch. His name Eashoa in Aramaic means Life-giving Living Branch. He received the Holy Spirit. And he lived it to the end.
