Neville Goddard: Co-

I am a big fan of Neville Goddard. He taught the Bible for a lot of years. I think I'd call him an experiential theologian, for he based his theology upon both the Bible and his Biblical experience. The two, theology and experience, have to go together. Neville worked out the Milta, God's Manifestation, on his own from the Bible directly . . . that we are co-creators of the world with rest of God, for our thoughts are actually His and are thus CAUSATIVE. We create our worlds inasmuch as God is in our worlds. We've just got to get the hang of thinking His way all the time.

Co-create, co-cause, co-love, co-empower, co-forgive, co-heal, co-direct, co-God. "Imagine it, and then leave it alone. And in a way you could never have arranged, it will be brought to pass." That coming to pass is God's "Hello." Nothing can be more marvelous than seeing His response to our prayer. This is His saying, "I AM." And indeed, He IS.

Correspondences In The Evolutions

I believe there are correspondences between God's evolution and the earth's evolution. It is the "As above, so below," thing. We have got a Satan, an opposing adversary--the Devil. Certainly, as God's consciousness and self-awareness developed He discovered His own opposition to better thoughts and characteristics. "Let's go this way instead of that way . . . " He had to make choices. "Could do this, or could do that." But He worked out what He is (and got rid of the rest). We are going THERE!

I Believe In THE Evolution Of God

The evolution of God. We are in it. This world is imagic of that one. What has so far happened to us? Scattered gases coalesced into the solar system, life appeared, and that has become this. Apply this in reverse imagery to God. "Where did God come from?" Unknown spirit stuff coalesced into a field that became conscious, and that became the Ineffable's "this." He evolved into what He is today. And He wants to exist as He is evolved into in perfectly correlated manifestation. Not a separate manifestation, but HIM in manifestation. Kind of a three-fer: the Ineffable (...?), the Consciousness of the Ineffable (Spirit), and the Milta (the SUBSTANTIVE Manifestation of the essential connotation of the Consciousness). In Deuteronomy 6:4 God says, "I am these three, AND YOU ARE INCLUDED IN THEM AS MY PREVAILING EVOLUTION--'Israel'" (my version).

Our purpose is to be Him here. We are co-creators of this world. We are THAT world making more of itself. By and by this dinky, stinky planet will BE HIS MANIFESTATION. We are just rolling along in His evolution of Himself AS ONE.

2 Samuel 4:10 Demonstration Of Ancient Use Of Euaggelion--("Glad Tidings")--Meaning The Reward FOR The News

2 Samuel 4:10 from the NET Bible: "When someone told me that Saul was dead--even though he thought he was bringing good news--I seized him and killed him in Ziklag. That was the 'good news' I gave to him!" Ancient Hebrew concept corollary to the Greek word euaggelion was related to good news, but not the news itself; it was more specifically related to the REWARD the deliverer of the good news could expect for delivering the news.

This makes it very hard to translate verses like 2 Samuel 4:10. What happens is someone delivers news . . . expecting a reward. This isn't clearly stated; it's just understood from context:

"When someone told me that Saul was dead--even though he thought he was bringing good news (he thought I would give him a reward)--I seized him and killed him in Ziklag. That was the 'good news' (reward) I gave to him!"

Do Not Shortchange Yourself On God's Name - Which Is "Causer Of Existence"

As a Christian student of the Bible and a big fan of Neville Goddard's books and lectures, I have heard many times that the name of God, YHWH, yod-hey-vav-hey, means "I AM." Of course YHWH does not really mean "I AM," because the yod is an attached pronoun denoting the masculine third person singular; so YHWH would in the very least (at the very most?) mean "HE IS."

But I am here for something in God's name that is much more exciting, the meaning of the word after the pronoun. Hey-vav-hey isn't just "IS." If you have a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance with dictionaries, look up 1933 in the Hebrew dictionary, havah, "to breathe, or, to be (in the sense of existence)," and 3068, Yehovah. Note that Yehovah is FROM 1961, hey-yod-hey, or 'hayah.' Hayah is today's goldmine.

Hayah is a verb. Yes, God's name is a verb, because He is that verb; He is the one who does this action. I first learned of hayah in Ethelbert Bullinger's note on 'was' in Genesis 1:2 in The Companion Bible: "was = became; also rendered came to pass, be (in the sense of become)," etc. I looked it up in Strong's. The point Bullinger and I make here is that hayah signals transition. He is the becoming God. If you look up 1961--hayah--in The New Englishman's Hebrew and Chaldee Concordance, you will find that transition is the root concept in the many English words it is translated into. Englishman's excuses limiting their examples of hayah with the note, "the whole of the passages in which it occurs would be too numerous for insertion." The Bible is basically this verb in application.

Illumination from Wikipedia article on Tetragrammaton:

The name may be derived from a verb that means 'to be', 'to exist', 'to cause to become', or 'to come to pass'. . . . This would frame Y-H-W-H as a derivation from the Hebrew triconsonantal root היה‎ (h-y-h), "to be, become, come to pass", with a third person masculine י‎ (y-) prefix, equivalent to English "he", in place of the first person א‎ ('-), thereby affording translations as "he who causes to exist", "he who is", etc. . . . As such, the consensus among modern scholars considers that YHWH represents a verbal form. In this, the y- prefix represents the third masculine verbal prefix of the verb hyh or hwh, "to be", as indicated in the Hebrew Bible.[12]

Illumination from Victor Alexander's translation of Hebrews from the ancient Aramaic:

Hebrews 1

1. God spoke to our ancestors in every way, shape and form* through the prophets of old,* and in these last days,* He spoke to us through His Son,
2. To Whom was consecrated the inheritance to everything, and by Whom He created the universes,
3. "So as they may be the yeast of His [Son's] glory... and in the image of His existence,  And that he may muster all of them...by the power of His Manifestation,  And it was with that Essence of His Trinity...that He cleansed our sins, He Who sits from the right of the Supreme throne in the Highest."

My conclusion:

God's name, YHWH, means "Causer of Existence," for He is the One Who causes what is ASSUMED to exist to be transitioned into FULFILLED REALITY.

THAT is our "I AM,” our Redeemer to the day before the fall.

YHWH And The Law Of Assumption: His Name Is "He Who Causes Existence"

The Ineffable (...?) is an unknowable "He" who is conscious, and the power and intelligence of that consciousness causes transition from assumption into existence.

"This would frame Y-H-W-H as a derivation from the Hebrew triconsonantal root היה‎ (h-y-h), 'to be, become, come to pass', with a third person masculine י‎ (y-) prefix, equivalent to English 'he', in place of the first person א‎ ('-), thereby affording translations as 'he who causes to exist'."

Note the triconsonantal root היה‎ (h-y-h), 'to be, become, come to pass'. Hayah's (Strong's 1961) very meaning is "transition into existence" (me). This is the Law of Assumption, and THAT is God's Name!

And we have transitioned into existence as His image, and by Christ's redemption of us into the state PRIOR to the fall. God's "Name" is what He does, and it is what we are to do.

Why Elohim Is Plural

Just an interesting thought from a Wikipedia post: "One of the frequent cases was the Tetragrammaton, which according to later Rabbinite Jewish practices should not be pronounced but read as אֲדֹנָי‎ (Adonai, lit. transl. My Lords, Pluralis majestatis taken as singular), or, if the previous or next word already was Adonai, as 'Elohim' (אֱלֹהִים‎/'God')."

Adonai, My Lords, and Elohim, Gods, might be plural not because of Pluralis majestatis, but because they represent a TRINITY.

Though I recall that per Alexander, the Aramaic basis for Elohim means "Above the Flames." THERE is REAL majesty.

The Trinity In The Old Testament (by Victor Alexander)

The Trinity in the Old Testament

(Comment by Victor Alexander, Ancient Languages Scholar)

The distortion of the Old Testament was initiated by the Roman Church and it was carried out by the Protestant Churches and all the breakaway sects that followed. The foundation for the falsification of Scriptures was based on removing the name of Jesus and His titles from the Old Testament Scriptures. At first this would seem to be a conspiracy of Judaism or even later of Islam, but this was not the case at all. Jesus had to be removed from the Old Testament Scriptures so as to deny that the Jewish Patriarchs that came out of Padan Aram had a direct relationship to Jesus. This way Jesus could become entirely a persona of the New Testament.

While on the one hand the modern Churches could claim that Jesus was their own, that He took the "Kingdom" from the Jews and gave it to the "Gentiles;" on the other they could retain the power, the wealth and the ceremonies of the Old Testament as having nothing to do with Judaism. Thus, according to the Greek version that the modern Churches inherited, the Patriarchs brought forth the lineage of Jesus as to the time of Mary and Joseph, and then they disappeared from the scene altogether, leaving only the Jews that survived in Europe and until now; when in fact the real Jews were and are the descendants of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, the Israel of God, that preached Christianity throughout the world.

However, these Jews, together with all the other Aramaic speaking nations, that came out of Padan Aram and Mesopotamia at large, who preached Christianity in the West and the East, were re-discovered by the modern-day missionaries in the 20th Century. They survive today as Eastern Christianity and as Orthodox Church members. Ironically, even the Greek Orthodox Church has thrown in their lot with them. However, due to the jealousies and internal squabbles over doctrines, these genuine Churches have been ignored by the modern-day Churches, especially the Protestants, and sometimes they are branded as heretical.

And interestingly, the Jews of today and even the Muslims have adopted the modern-day distortions of Scriptures and have claimed that Jesus Christ was not mentioned in the Old Testament as the Son of God and as the second Q'numah of the Trinity. It's furthermore an irony that the Jews and the Muslims are in a death struggle and the modern-day Churches are trying to mediate between them. Of course, each party distorts the Scriptures in its own way; therefore, it isn't possible to bring about peace based on the fact that the name of Jesus was indeed mentioned in the Old Testament and that the Old Testament Scriptures prophesied about the coming of the Messiah as God in the flesh. Also, if the name of Jesus was not mentioned in the Old Testament, then the Trinity could not have been known from the Old Testament either. And here's the crux of the matter. If the Trinity did not exist in the Old Testament Scriptures, then our Triune God was the invention of the Catholic Church and the writers of the New Testament, as is claimed by the detractors of Christianity. So now it's clearer where the problems emerged, where the distortions began.

So despite the fact that today Judaism, modern Christianity and Islam deny that the Old Testament Scriptures mention the Trinity by name, they cannot agree on the fact that there is one God for all, and regardless of His name in different languages that He's the same God. What's even more pathetic about modern Christianity is that none of the modern Bibles identify or retain the word "Trinity" in their text.

How is it that modern Christianity failed to identify the word "Trinity" in the Old Testament? When the modern Churches split off from the Church of the East in the 5th Century AD and adopted the Greek version of the Old and the New Testament, the theologians of the Roman Church began to redefine the words of Scriptures. They literally wrote a new dictionary of the Ancient Aramaic. Today, my translation is ridiculed by the official Churches on the basis that I'm not following the Aramaic-English dictionaries in existence. That's true, I'm restoring the original words. So far I've identified the word "Eil" in the Old Testament, the very title that Jesus uses from the Cross in His great utterance, "Eili, Eili, l'manna sh'wik-thani". Incidentally, the reason why it's left intact in the modern Bibles is because they didn't know what it meant.

However, the modern-day theologians didn't only change the meaning of certain words in the Bible dictionaries, they also changed the grammar in key passages. Because they couldn't have lost the meaning of the word for the Trinity if they'd only changed the words. Ironically, the Greeks borrowed from the Ancient Aramaic and used the word Q'nomos in their writings, but they didn't identify or understand its meaning. In the Ancient Aramaic, the word "Q'nu-meh" refers to the Trinity. "Tla Q'numeh" or "The Trinity". The error was mitigated by the fact that the grammar was changed also; therefore, arriving at the well-known Catholic formulation of "the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit". In the modern-day grammars based on the Greek language, the Latin and the English also, this formulation leads to the conclusion that God is made up of three elements, better referred to as three personas or three Manifestations. In fact, the last is the best way to describe the Trinity in English. However, in the Ancient Aramaic, the scribal language of Scriptures, the Trinity means that God or Elohim is "The Father AND the Son AND the Holy Spirit". He is One God. This is the only language in which the word "Trinity" is preserved. That's why the Ancient Aramaic is the only language of Scriptures. No other language can take its place without changing the meaning of the Scriptures. In other words, for modern-day theologians to begin understanding the Scriptures, they have to return to the scribal language and relearn it. They have to discard their old dictionaries and grammars and start from scratch. This I don't think will happen very soon, thus the justification for my translation. That's why I'm translating the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures all over again, even though they've been translated several times before, and continue to be translated and re-translated but all in error, because the translators don't accept the primacy of the Ancient Aramaic as the only sacred scribal language of Scriptures.

I constantly hear that the modern-day Churches are going to do a new translation from the "original sources," and even the Congress of the United States has initiated a new translation project. Frankly, why bother? How will the modern translations of today be any better than those of earlier times? As long as there are no native Aramaic speaking scholars leading the translation work, how can the work of translation be even close to the truth? Not only is the work of translation carried out by non-Aramaic speaking theologians, there are no theologians left who know the language, and that's the reason why the West doesn't bother even looking for Ancient Aramaic theologians. Now, there are modern Aramaic language natives by the millions, and there certainly are millions of Hebrew and Arabic speaking theologians among the Jews and the Arabs, but these languages are at the centre of the problem. The modern Aramaic version of the P'shitta has been translated by the American missionaries of the 19th Century. The modern Torah of Judaism has been translated back into Hebrew from the Greek Septuagint of the 2nd Century BC. The Arabic Bibles have been translated from the Greek and vice-versa from the early days of Islam. The Arab conquerors of the Holy Lands destroyed all the Greek "originals", so the Greek "Original" is a translation of the Arabic Bible that was approved by the Islamic conquerors of the 7th Century. Only the Ancient Aramaic has survived by the very fact that it was "ignored" and branded a "heretical" translation made from the Greek version.

The tell-tale sign that the Greek Original and its English language derivatives are translations from the Arabic is there in the modern Bibles. Read the passage in Mark 15:34 and Matthew 27:46, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani". Notice the letter "s" of the Arabic-Greek, instead of the "sheen" of the Hebrew-Aramaic in the last word. Also, "lema" instead of "lemana" -- two different words. And more significantly, "Eloi" instead of "Eil". They have it all wrong, and that's why the wrong translation, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken Me?"

What difference do a few words make in our life? How is all this significant? Take for example the Irish Catholics and the Irish Protestants. Here are a beautiful Christian people killing each other for centuries over some differences in the interpretation of the same Bibles. The irony is that both their Bibles are flawed exactly the same way. In a documentary program that I saw on the PBS channel during the nineties, a group of Irish school teenagers from Ireland went to visit Northern Ireland in an experiment that would promote peace and understanding. I was struck by an exchange between an Irish Protestant girl from Ireland and a Catholic boy from Northern Ireland. The Protestant girl said, "Why do you have Jesus on your Cross -- He's risen!" The Catholic boy answered, "So we'll remember that He died for our sake". After I dried the tears from my eyes, I wondered who won the theological argument? Well, until the Irish stop killing each other, I suspect the devil did.

The Father does not forsake the Son, He glorifies Him. And the Son glorifies the Father with His sacrifice on the Cross. And the Holy Spirit glorifies the Father and the Son, because of their love for each other. "Eili, Eili, l'manna shwikthani". Learn Ancient Aramaic and translate it for yourself.

"Eil" means "He Is", as in the "I AM". The "i" after "Eil" in the passage is a possessive pronoun, added as part of the word. "Lema" is "why", but "lemanna" is "why I". "Shwik-thani" means "forgiven Me", "spared Me", "left Me", "abandoned Me", "forsaken Me", "allowed Me", or "glorified Me". Which one is it in this context?

I'm a translator. My job is to give you a clear translation. I believe that Jesus on the Cross was letting us hear this utterance so we'd understand our own moment of death and so we wouldn't despair but endure in faith to the very end and believe in His power to resurrect us.

Hilarious And Pathetic AI Logic Regarding The Trinity

Oops. My bad. The AI response to something I searched concluded that the word Trinity wasn't in Bible because the word trinity isn't in the Bible. I forgot to save it before I clicked away to the article below which demonstrates where the word Trinity IS in the Bible, just from Aramaic and not from the Greek. Remember that the New Testament was LIVED in Aramaic regardless of whatever language it was recorded in.

From https://netzarimemunah.org/the-lords-prayer/milta-and-the-trinity/:

TRANSLITERATION of Aramaic Hebrews 1:1-3.

B’chul min-wan oo b’chul dim-wan(1) mal-lil Alla-heh um ava-hein b’n-wiy-yeh min qa-dim, oo b’ha-leen yoo-ma-theh khara-yeh ma-lil um-man b’Barreh.

TRANSLATION of Hebrews 1:1-3

God spoke to our ancestors in every way, shape and form(1) through the prophets of old, and in these last days, He spoke to us through His Son, to Whom was consecrated the inheritance to everything, and by Whom He created the universes, “So as they may be the yeast of His Son’s glory and in the image of His existence, and that he may muster all of them by the power of His Manifestation(2), and it was with that Essence of His Trinity(3) that He cleansed our sins, He Who sits from the right of the Supreme throne in the Highest.

FOOTNOTES to both sections.

1Ancient Aramaic idiomatic expression: “By all accounts and by all appearances.”
2Milta (Ancient Aramaic sacred word), reserved only for the Messiah Eashoa (Jesus.)
3Qnumeh. Ancient Aramaic sacred word: Trinity, (identified only in my [edit: Victor Alexander's] translations of the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures.)

NB! The word “Trinity” appears in the third verse of Paul’s Letter to the Hebrews. In no translation before mine has the word “Trinity” ever been identified. Paul is supposed to have written his Letters or Epistles in the Greek language. All the Western translations have been made from Greek. Perhaps this is why the word “Trinity” has been treated like a mystery. The word is right there in all the Ancient Aramaic manuscripts of the New Testament Scriptures of all the Eastern Churches. Why hasn’t anyone before me translated this word as the Trinity? To me this is proof that Paul’s Letters were written in the Ancient Aramaic. The word “Trinity” is too important a word to ignore. It must be identified and restored in the Bibles by all the Christian Churches if they truly believe that the Christian God is Triune.

The above is a discussion on the word 'Trinity' NOT being in the English versions of the Bible although it IS in the Ancient Aramaic text. AI logic is that if the word 'Trinity' is not in the Bible, it cannot be in ANY version. Or something like that. Victor Alexander's point is that in the ORIGINAL ARAMAIC version of the Bible the Aramaic words for Trinity, T'lah Qnu-meh, certainly are there. And they certainly were not translated from later Greek versions back into Aramaic.

Now, if you are saved, is the State Of The Milta (Miltha)--Jesus RISEN, all our sins paid. Clean slate. Therefore no sin, no sickness.

My Impression Of The Milta (Miltha)

I am admittedly speculating, but it is an educated guess. It is speculation in that I am not going to the library and digging through texts to substantiate what I believe. It is more of a, "Hey, you've got a Bible and can read, and hopefully a brain; isn't this what it clearly says?" deal. The idea grows on you as it becomes clearer. It becomes more eloquent. the Ineffable's assumed Milta (the manifestation of Itself) is Itself causing the generation of its factual fulfillment--its "hardening into fact." This is genuine evolution, the world's history, and our purpose and function in this world. Our flesh is the place of the Kingdom of God. At the end of Revelation only the Milta is left; it's be there or be square, er, toast. This world IS that world. We just be a little slow to catch on.

The Milta is the Image of God complete through the act.

The Milta is the Image of the unseeable SAME Ineffable Being complete through the substantive acts of His Life in us.

It is exciting to know what it is that you don't know: the Milta is invisible there, visible here, and the two are One.

Milta (Miltha) Is A Whole Different Theology Than Logos

Milta is the Jewish view of the world; Logos is the Greek. When I consider the Logos, I see it separate from us. God is the Word, and the Word is God. Over there. Christ is in me, but compartmentalized.

When I consider the Milta, I see It as me. God is Its Manifestation, and Its Manifestation is God. I am one with it. Deuteronomy 6:4 explains Israel is INCLUDED in the One God is. Christ is in me, because I AM included in Christ. The Milta is our common denominator: the Milta in Christ guy, and the SAME Milta in me . . . and you. This we are to believe and so act.

This is a process of development. The corruption in the earth has a purpose: to make Milta (Miltha). At the end of Revelation, ONLY THE MILTA IS LEFT.

Looks like a goal to me. Let God prevail in you; be made into the Milta, the Man He keeps.

It bears mentioning again, THIS is THAT world.

We are kind of three people. God manifests as people. There is the Ineffable Being, the "No-thing," the (...?). We do not know and cannot know what It is, but It is--silent, invisible, powerful.

Then there is God, the consciousness of the Ineffable Being. This is the knowable Manifestation of the unknowable No-thing. It has certain attributes and characteristics, most notably essential connotations of Its love, mercy, grace, forbearance, power, wisdom, integrity, fidelity, purity, correctness, etc., etc. I guess you might say that these are the manifestation of the Manifestation of the Ineffable.

Lastly we have the consciousness's intelligence's manifestation as whatever It imagines It is. Power becomes particulate to facilitate form and experience of the Manifestation. I think in this sense our fleshly bodies are the basileia--the Kingdom of God.

Altogether these are the Milta, the manifestation of the Ineffable Being AND Its consciousness IN form. Right now It is working some of Its bugs out of this locality, making Man in His image. Corruption affected Man, and the Son of Man makes correction back to the Truth the Manifestation originally was. Man's corruption--selfish independence/"I did it my way"--is getting worked out.

My recommendation: surrender and submit. Come unto Jesus and learn of Him. At least He is talking from experience.

Milta (miltha) is a Jewish concept of which the Greek concept of logos is a poor translation. Think of being whacked up alongside the head with a two-by-four. Milta is the idea of getting whacked INCLUDING the actual physical whack. Except it's good.

Milta transcends into reality/concrete expression--ACTUAL manifestation. The essential connotation of the Ineffable became incarnate in man and died as man's sacrificial substitute. Full blast. The Man did it for the REWARD, the euaggelion (euangelion), the right to make created man into His completion--the reality, the concrete expression, the ACTUAL manifestation of the Ineffable--to make us into Him.

Alexander's footnote on John 1:1 states that the Aramaic word Milta has been set aside for only sacred use. Only the Messiah Eashoa is ever to be called the Milta. I think that the way to think of the Milta is to think of the essential connotation of God's love, mercy, grace, patience, integrity, fidelity, etc., manifest literally in Christ, and that Christ in you. It is a package deal.
