    Source Fall in Love with Christ ¶15
    Reasoning Passage 545920 (lecture nid=1829, 'Fall Love With Christ', delivered 1968-10-21 per that lecture's own certain, preferred claim) has Neville say in his own words: 'on the 8th day of April, 1960 (well, that's eight years ago) I ascended.' This is an independent, first-person textual statement of the exact ascension date -- not derived from the event's title -- and corroborates the existing title-derived claim (d0, probable) at much higher confidence.
  9. 8 April 1960 stated
    Reasoning Passage 551010 (lecture nid=1992, 'Hidden Secret God', delivered 1971-04-12 per that lecture's own certain claim) has Neville again state in his own words: 'the Ascent took place on the 8th day of April of 1960.' A second, independent occasion (a different lecture, roughly three years after passage 545920) naming the identical exact date for his own ascension. An ASR-derived duplicate transcript of this same delivery (passage 556772, nid=3996, 'The True Exodus') preserves the same phrase; per this packet's own cross-node content verification, node 3996 is the same underlying recording as node 1992, not a separate occasion, so it corroborates rather than counting as independent testimony.

    Reasoning The witness passage gives the splitting/ascension as 139 days after the initial resurrection-in-the-skull, then a further 123 days after that (this event's own tagged interval, r14). The lecture's own delivery-claim reasoning (d0), sourced from the same passage 544565, records Neville dating the origin of this narrative to 20 July 1959, its 'tenth anniversary' being why the 1969-09-15 telling falls where it does. Chaining 1959-07-20 + 139 days = 1959-12-06, + a further 123 days = circa 1960-04-07. Capped at possible and given only to the month because both day-counts are Neville's own decades-later recollection of a mystical vision, and a processing note on this same lecture flags a possible alternate '998 days' reading elsewhere in the text, so precision beyond circa is not supportable.

    Why pm-actor-551: Lowered (SG3, PM 9130): it misses this event's date (8 April 1960); likely a telling day, another happening or a misreading. Earlier note: Part of the fixed 1,260-day mystical sequence (birth from above -> David at +139d -> this splitting at +262d -> the dove's descent at +1260d) that recurs, with some variation in the day-counts, across many tellings in this corpus.
    Reasoning hist_event 19520 gives a certain 1959-07-20 birth-from-above date. 139 days later is 1959-12-06 (matching the David-encounter date already computed and recorded separately on hist_event 1274, corroborating this counting method); a further 123 days lands on 1960-04-07 (139+123=262 days after 1959-07-20). Kept at probable, matching the corpus's own confidence on the equivalent 139-day step, since the count is told in a generalized second-person teaching passage rather than as Neville's own dated diary entry.

    Reasoning The passage states this vision occurred '11 years ago, on the 8th of April' relative to the telling. The lecture's only delivery claim is circa 1970 (possible, marked 'weak'), itself derived partly from this same relative expression cross-referenced with a related passage elsewhere in the lecture that anchors a similar 'body split'/'spirit set free' vision to 1959. Combining the delivery estimate with the stated 11-year offset gives 1959, and the day (8 April) is stated directly. Confidence stays possible because the underlying telling-year estimate is itself only weakly established.

    Reasoning Confidence only; the date is not re-adjudicated and is left exactly as written.

    Reasoning Lecture nid 3974 carries exactly 1 delivery claim (N=1): circa 1970, possible, explicitly marked state 'weak', derived by combining this passage's own '11 years ago' with the lecture's separate anchoring of a related vision to 1959 elsewhere in the same transcript.

Node 1110 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1963-5-31 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1963-5-31 certain; 1968-10-4 refuted; 1963-5-31 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1968-10-04 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`). The telling is dated by its lecture, so with the refuted date removed from consideration the surviving claim is what the telling inherits, at that claim own confidence and no higher.

    Why Existing 1970-06-05 told claims (certain and doubtful) are left in place per append-only rule; processing notes already establish that date does not match any of node 3's seven session dates.
    Reasoning Node 3's own processing notes confirm it is a compilation of seven dated Q&A sessions and that the existing 1970-06-05 told claims match none of them. The nearest session-seam marker to our witness passage names 17 July 1970; whether that header introduces the session after it or captions the one before it is not settled by anything in the packet, so I bound the telling to the 15-17 July window (the two sessions adjacent to that marker) rather than pick a single day. This replaces the demonstrably wrong month on the existing told claims without overclaiming a specific date the seam markers do not pin down.

Date Lecture or book Telling Passage
1963-02-08 [exact/certain/final] God's Promise to Man All the others preceded it. It started in 1959, on the 20th day of July, in San Francisco. Then came the revelation of David in the month of December 6, 1959; then came the splitting of the temple (which is the body) on April 8, 1960. Then came that interval of a few years until the first of this year, January 1st, where the dove descended. Knowing my scripture, I knew then that his work really began. That power laden-work started at the descent of the dove, which symbolized the Holy Spirit. 551612
1963-03-01 [exact/certain/final] The Pure in Heart He’ll never in eternity depart from that homogenous substance into which he sunk himself when he decided to make man in his own image. But he has to make it, first of all, out of pure gold. May I tell you that it is really pure gold—I’m not kidding—when you see it one day after the temple has been torn from top to bottom. As you’re told in the Book of Hebrews, it identifies the spiritual body with the curtain of the temple: “And the curtain was torn, from top to bottom… and then he entered into the Holy of Holies forever” . No intermediary thereafter. But when it’s torn, you look and you see… 529679
1963-03-19 [exact/certain/final] In These Last Days by His Son So here, our scientists in this generation, in our generation, they have found this peculiar particle. Well, I am not a scientist, but I have found that I can use it in a way that maybe they will not admit, and you can use it. I was struck, and I jumped back in time 2,000 years in the twinkle of an eye after an enormous blow in my head delivered by God to have the experience as described in the Book of Luke. And then five months later, another blow, terrific blow, and I jumped back another thousand years in time, not in space; and then, four months later, another thousand years, where the… 529866
1963-04-12 [exact/certain/final] The Resurrection Then comes the third. The third is the ascension, where man actually ascends. He is not man, yet he is man. He hasn’t any loss of consciousness and no change of identity, but here is a golden, liquid being that he is. And just as described, an earthquake takes place. You don’t get out; this whole thing takes place in the body, not out of the body. For when you rise up, after having been split right down the middle, from top to bottom, and then you rise into Zion, which is your skull—that’s the great holy sepulcher—you make an Herculean effort to get out. You can’t get out. You are around the… 530139
1963-05-05 [exact/probable/preferred] I AM the Vine But unlike this flame, you do return; I return. I have plunged headlong into the sacred flame when I saw it, and I knew it to be myself as I saw it. I didn’t hesitate for one nth part of an nth part of a second; I plunged headlong into the sacred flame and went right up in a serpentine form into Zion, into my skull. I have returned to tell it. So I can tell you exactly what’s going to happen to you. Every being in this world is going to have the identical experience. 548552
1963-05-05 [exact/probable/preferred] I AM the Vine But as they return, it only confirms this wonderful—that you can set free the blind and set free the lame. And as you do it, years later in my own case, because that happened to me in 1946, and it was in 1960 that this temple of mine was split from top to bottom, and I was moved up in a serpentine form into Zion, on the morning of April 8, l960. So from l946 to l960, yet I went blindly on believing that I could transform people by simply believing in the reality of my imaginal act. And so I believed it. I imagined that you were so and so, convinced myself that it was true, went about my… 548562
1963-05-17 [exact/certain/final] The Cross And so we’re told by Blake, “The gods of the earth and the sea sought through nature to find this tree; but their search was all in vain: there grows one in the human brain.” So here, on my brain, he is nailed and the extension is right on this body. But as far as I’m concerned it was no pain. It was ecstatic delight, supreme delight, when he made me alive. And then, he cleaved to me, remained faithful to his love, and then he awoke me. Today I can say with Paul, “I now bear on my body the marks of Jesus.” The birth from above, the memory of it is so vivid; the resurrection from the grave is… 530388
1963-05-31 [exact/certain/final] On the Book of Revelation And the day will come, it will begin to like a flower begins to unfold, unfold in the most wonderful series of mystical experiences. When it begins to unfold, you stand amazed at the beauty of this story. And may I tell you, you are told that the kingdom is taken by storm? It’s true. When you move into it, and it’s called Zion: “And I looked up and behold there was Zion and the Lamb, and around the Lamb 144,000.” And it’s all here, it’s all in your own wonderful skull, that’s where he’s buried. And may I tell you, when you go into it having ascended that wonderful spine of yours, you will… 530474
1963-11-12 [exact/certain/final] We Have Found Him But until that day when this garment is taken off for the last time… for the one single thing in scripture that is given to us that signifies our departure from this world is the turning of a rod [...] into a serpent. It has happened to me. And so having happened to me in the core of my being, I know this is my exit from this age into an entirely different age, where all things are then subject to my imaginative power. While I’m here I must, in the world of Caesar, obey the laws of Caesar and use God’s law to the best of my ability within the framework of his purpose. But at the end, there… 530536
1963-11-26 [exact/certain/preferred] Advent: The Four Tears Then comes the third tear. He tells you, I will come in this manner “The earth will shake and every stone will be split right through”. That’s when I come; that’s the third tear. And every stone is really split, every segment of your spinal column is completely severed in two, and you see them separated by inches, fulfilling the 27th of Matthew. He will come and every stone will be split, and there is an earthquake. You have never felt anything comparable to it. That’s the third tearing. 555686
1963-11-26 [exact/certain/preferred] Advent: The Four Tears But God dwells in Zion and Zion is your skull, and it’s in there that you go. You make the most tremendous effort to get out. But you don’t get out. You just press into that skull and take the impress of the face of God… yet no loss of identity. But you’ll wear forever the form of God, without loss of identity. As you are told, “From John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of God has been preached and everyone who enters the kingdom does so with violence”. And may I tell you, you’ve never known such violence in your life as at that moment in time when you move up with a power that you’ve never… 555710
1963-01-01 [after/probable/preferred/bound] The Marks of Jesus And then comes the other sign, for he brings us out of this wilderness with signs and wonders, and so the one sign identified with the escape from Egypt, as we make our exodus, is that of the serpent, and so the great fiery serpent is lifted up upon a rod that buds, and here in your wonderful body you will feel it as though it took place physically, you’ll feel it just as though the whole thing was taking place physically. You’ll be stripped from top to bottom, and you will observe this thing that is split, that the book of Hebrews equates with the body of Jesus — the curtain of the temple is… 556917
1964-02-11 [exact/certain/final] Grace versus Law You look at him, and there’s no doubt in your mind who he is; there’s no doubt in his mind who you are. It takes the Son to reveal the Father, and you didn’t know for one moment you were he until the Son reveals you to yourself. And then the third in the great gift is when out of the blue, you are torn in two, from top to bottom; and then you ascend, a living being, something that is fiery and alive. You ascend right into Zion, which is your skull. And these three parts mark the great gift, called in the Bible “grace,” an unearned, unmerited gift. 546663
1964-03-31 [exact/certain/final] The New and Living Way And the curtain is one’s own wonderful—-it isn’t this body—I saw this split. But surely when I woke in the morning to find this body still knit together and no scar on it, it could not have been this. This is but the shadow world. So Blake in his wonderful Jerusalem: “I know of no other Christianity,” said he, “and no other gospel than the liberty both of body and mind to exercise the divine arts of Imagination. Imagination the real and eternal world into which we shall all go after the death of these vegetable, mortal bodies of ours.” Then he asked, “What are these gifts, these treasures of… 531570
1964-03-31 [exact/certain/final] The New and Living Way Well, when you feel it, it feels so physical. When I was severed in two, it felt like my body physically was severed in two. When I felt that infant, it was something physical in my hand. When I saw the witnesses to the event, they were physical. This is all man, there’s nothing but man in this world. Because why? God is man, and there’s nothing but God. 531581
1964-04-03 [exact/certain/final] His Own Credentials So when you return, it’s not a dream. I dream nightly, but visions come at long intervals, especially the visions as recorded in the gospels, beginning with the resurrection, then the birth, then the discovery of the fatherhood of God, then the ascent into the Holy of Holies, and then the descent of the dove. They come at intervals, stated intervals, the first great four: two the first night, one on the heels of the other; and then five months later the second, the discovery of the fatherhood of God; and then four months later, comes the ascent into the Holy of Holies; and then three years… 545248
1964-11-24 [exact/certain/final] Go Down to the Potter's House Now the 42nd chapter of Isaiah: “And they were all trapped in holes and hidden in prisons” . The 14th chapter of the 1st Book of Samuel: “Behold, Hebrews are coming out of holes in which they have hid themselves” . And you ask all these strange questions, what is this thing, Hebrews are coming out of holes in which they hid themselves and all of us have been trapped in holes and hidden in cells? Well, I know from my own personal experience what this fantastic mystery is all about, and I share it with you: Here in man’s own wonderful skull the whole drama is taking place. This is the rock out… 548297
1964-12-01 [exact/certain/final] You Are My Witnesses And now the story of the ascension, I can testify to that. I can witness to the fact that the Son of man must ascend as the serpent ascended when man departed from Egypt. The Son of man must ascend just as the serpent did; and when he does ascend he ascends in the manner of the serpent . And that, I can attest to that, I’ve experienced it. I can attest to the fact that the temple of God which is man…as you’re told, “Ye are the temple of the living God” , and “the curtain of the temple must be split in two, from top to bottom.” And that I have experienced…the top to the bottom, from the top of… 532243
1964-12-22 [exact/certain/final] He Breaks the Shell A bolt of lightning splits man in two from the top of his skull to the base of his spine. He is cleft as though he were a tree that had been struck by lightning. At the base of his severed body he sees “the blood of Jesus,” a pool of molten gold; he knows it is himself; then, fusing with “the blood of Jesus,” he ascends his severed spine in a serpentine motion into his skull. This is to fulfil the Scripture: “This Son of Man must be lifted up as the serpent was lifted up by Moses in the wilderness”. 532373
1965-01-22 [exact/certain/final] Works of Faith, Not Miracles Then the day will come, there will not be two, there will only be one, as told us in the 2nd chapter of the Book of Ephesians. He will create within himself one new man in place of the two, and put an end to the hostility. That happens in the most miraculous way. It happens with a bolt of lightning out of the nowhere splitting man in two, from the top of his head to the base of his spine; and then at the base of his spine he sees golden, liquid light. It’s molten gold, and he knows it’s himself, and he fuses with it as he looks at it. He ascends this spinal column of his right up into heaven. 532574
1965-02-02 [exact/certain/final] The Smile Then I go back in time, as I begin to expand, and suddenly…I thought the temple, the ark of old, was 4,000 years ago, and I find that it wasn’t. I find that suddenly the ark is my own being, and it’s torn in two from top to bottom. And I thought that Moses was something unnumbered years ago, who took a rod and made it into a serpent and lifted it up, that he certainly was my ancestor by unnumbered centuries, and he wasn’t. Finally, I am actually enacting all these things within my being. 550903
1965-02-23 [exact/probable/final] The Dreamer I was coming home from a funeral about a year ago and a lady said to me (who drove the car)…first of all she said, “You know our friends in the back”—-and it’s a lovely, sweet Japanese couple—-and she said to me, “They are Catholics.” Well, I was pleasantly surprised, because automatically you think of Japanese as Buddhist…at least I did. She said, “They are Catholics.” Then said she to me, “I’m a Christian Scientist” and I said, “That’s alright.” Then she said to me, “What are you?” I said, “I’m a Christian.” She said, “I took that for granted, but I mean what kind of Christian? Are you a… 548124
1965-04-06 [exact/certain/final] Spiritual States I find four great steps. The resurrection and birth from above come together; resurrection precedes the birth by a matter of moments. Then, five months later comes the Son revealing you as the Father. Four months after that comes the splitting of the temple of the body from top to the base, and you are parted as though you were parted this way, many, many inches. And then you look at the base of the spine and you see this golden molten pool of liquid gold. You know it is yourself, and as you know it is yourself you fuse with it. In that liquid form, like a serpent, you ascend what was the… 543859
1965-04-16 [exact/certain/final] Inner Talking So before I became awake, long before I rose from the dead to find myself resurrected, then to find myself born from above, long before that I was still the same being who afterwards woke. When I woke, I was not other than the being who was asleep. When I was born from above, I was not other than the being who was not born from above. When I ascended as the serpent in the wilderness, I was not other than the one who had not yet ascended. When the dove descended and smothered me in affection, I was not then other than the one who had not yet been smothered with affection. So these words are… 532893
1965-04-16 [exact/certain/final] Inner Talking Son of man? The skull? Well, I can only give you my own experience. I had all the sensations of my physical skull, but undoubtedly it was not. So this physical skull is only a shadow of the true skull. Because everything I experienced seemed so physical. When I was split in two it could not have been this body because this body carries no scar, physical scar from the top of my skull to the base of my spine. Yet I saw what I thought to be this body, and it was split in two and severed so that I could see about six inches parting the two sides. Yet this body carries no mark, and I did see a… 532908
1965-04-16 [exact/certain/final] Inner Talking Oh, that is the 3rd chapter of John, the 14th verse, in which he said, “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up.” That is a must; therefore, it will happen because it must happen. It’s going to happen. When it happens, it’s so unlike what one would think it should be when you read the story. The lifting up of the serpent is always identified and associated with Israel’s departure from slavery. It never occurs save in Exodus. When Israel is about to depart from slavery, then the serpent is lifted up, and all who see this brazen serpent, this fiery… 532915
1965-06-04 [exact/certain/final] On the Mysteries Let me share with you what happened to me. Well, what does a man know in this world more than that which he has experienced? If you experience anything, you know that experience more thoroughly than you know anything else in this world. I can read about it, I can hear it, I can suspect it, I can theorize, but if I experience it then I know it. Well, this I experienced. On the 8th day of April, 1960, right in this city, a bolt of lightning—that’s the only way I can describe it—but it’s a bolt of lightning, simply a flash of light struck me and severed me in two, from the top of my skull to the… 533246
1965-11-02 [exact/certain/final] Life Is a Race This creative power that went into this world of death has now been extracted; it’s now alive. He died and returned and became alive—the mystery of life through death. Is it not the 68th Psalm, where we are told that God is our Lord, our Savior, our Salvation; and to him belongs escape from death? So I saw at the base of my spine which is the temple of the living God…for am I not told, “Are you not the temple of God…and the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 533509
1965-11-09 [exact/certain/final] The New Man And one night, this bolt of light, like lightning, tore me in two from the top of my skull to the base of my spine; and here I am, I’m looking at myself severed, two pieces. At the base of the spine here is this lovely, living golden, liquid light. Strangely enough, here I’m a man, I am looking at it, and there is no doubt in my mind it is my reality, my own very self. I know it is the blood of God and I know it’s myself. Here, I have been separated throughout these centuries as I was lost in this dream of life. Everyone has to dream it. I’m looking at it…as I look at it I fuse with it, and… 533599
1965 [after/possible/bound] The Rock Well then comes another 139 days when the fatherhood is discovered. The father-son relationship. Then 123 days later comes the ascent. Now the serpent, the fiery serpent into the star. So he saw perfectly. For he saw the symbol of the creator. 555854
1966 [exact/certain/final] Resurrection The third act unfolds four months after the Father-Son relationship has been revealed. It is dramatic from beginning to end. A bolt of lightning splits the body of the resurrected man from the top of his skull to the base of his spine. Now the new and living way is opened for him through the curtain, that is, through his body. Revelation is always in personal terms, and the human agents of God’s revelation are never suppressed to the level of the impersonal. “Consequently, when He came into the world, He said, ‘Sacrifices and offerings Thou hast not desired, but a body hast Thou prepared for… 542373
1966 [exact/certain/final] Resurrection God’s will is done. God must save and God alone. At the base of his spine, he sees a pool of golden liquid light and knows that it is himself. He now has “confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way which He opened for us through the curtain, that is, through His flesh”. As he contemplates the pool of golden liquid light, the blood of God, the living water, he fuses with it, and knows that it is himself, his divine Creator and Redeemer. 542374
1966-02-08 [exact/certain/final] Invisible Things All that happened to me in these four mighty acts were all involuntary, every one. Not one did I deliberately conjure. You can’t do it. It’s grace. You don’t earn it. Just, at a moment in time, the time has been fulfilled, and when the time is fulfilled, it happens, and you unfold. 534365
1966-02-15 [exact/certain/final] The Name of God Is the Key to Understanding the Bible So no one…he said, “Look here, here’s Christ! Don’t believe him.” Why? “It does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, and see him just as he is”. You shall be like him. Well, if I’m not like him in my own mind’s eye, well, then I haven’t seen him. But if David called him Father and he called me Father; and if he is the one who is resurrected from the grave, and I was; and if he is the one who is born from above and had witnesses to the birth that came from above, not from below, not the womb of woman but the skull of man, and I was; and if the… 548988
1966-09-23 [exact/certain/final] Love Endures Now tonight the things that I will tell you, all from scripture, you wonder, how could anyone believe it? Here is one, “He who drinks my blood has eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day.” Well, I have a very large selection of Bibles at home and commentaries, and many scholarly works, exegeses on all kinds of the sixty-six books. I haven’t read one where they can grasp this theme. They cannot believe that it could be taken literally. But may I tell you these statements are expected to be taken literally and fulfilled literally. I will drink the blood of God? “He who drinks my… 544919
1966-10-04 [exact/certain/final] Eternity Within David, one day, having slept with his fathers (plural) will awaken in you. And you, being the Father, will awaken and rise from Golgotha, your skull, for the place where they laid him and the place where he rose was in the City of David. David’s burial place, as told us in the third chapter of Nehemiah, is after the stairs that go down from the City of David to the Fountain Head. Exploding within, you rise from the sepulcher where Jesus Christ is buried. Five months later David explodes within you and you cry, “I have found David, he has cried unto me, ‘Thou art my Father, my God and the Rock… 534576
1966-11-28 [exact/certain/final] An Apostle And to do it, God buried himself within me and took upon himself this form, the form of a slave. He slept and shared with me then as he made me alive horrible dreams, nightmares, horrors, the wars, the conflicts of the world. Then one day he awakes and calls me into his risen state, and embraces me, and sends me back to experience thirty years later the drama as foretold in the gospel: The resurrection, the birth; the discovery of the fatherhood of God through his son calling me Father; then the tearing of the curtain of the temple, which is my body, and lifting me up into Zion; and then the… 550146
1966-12-06 [exact/certain/final] The Word All of a sudden I am confronted with the fact; and one is telling me of the good news, the good fortune of his friend, who happens to be my friend, and I witness. Then, where is Christ? “All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.” Well now, who is he? Did I not do it? Is not that Word now growing within me? Long before it actually unfolds—in the form of the child, and David, and the tearing of the curtain of my body from top to bottom, and my ascent into the heaven of heavens, and then the dove—long before, I was sensing the power that was rising… 543370
1966-12-09 [exact/certain/final] We Are Witnesses So here, another aspect…all these are similar. I’m not going to say that you and I must have the identical…we have the same experience, but it must not be a duplicate in the sense that it’s a copy. The birth of the child may come differently from my own case. Someone reaches up to his head, holding it from the forehead, and it falls into his arms. That’s different, but it doesn’t mean that it is not the birth. One is severed from top to bottom and it’s a gentle thing. It was not so in my case. Mine was a violent act, but without pain. It was so quick. If I took a sharp, sharp knife now and… 535005
1967-04-21 [exact/certain/final] Generation and Death And you think, “Why should he use the word serpent?” May I tell you, he couldn’t use any other word. Read the 6th chapter of Isaiah…couldn’t use any other word. Isaiah stood before the throne of God, what did he see? And I tell you from my own experience that’s all that you can say…the serpent…and so the exodus in the world when we are led out of this world of tribulation, called the world of death, called Egypt, called in Bible the exodus. It is always with signs and wonders, and the serpent dominates the entire sign. “As Moses lifted up the sign in the wilderness, that is, the serpent, so… 535690
1967-04-24 [exact/certain/final] Going Up to Jerusalem So here, when I that night was bathed in the blood of the Lamb, I didn’t come out any red. We’re told he came out shining white. He came out bathed in the blood of the Lamb and his clothes and his robes turned into raiments, into white. For that night—I can see it now, it was the night of the 8th of April, 1960, that’s when it happened to me—when my temple was split from top to bottom and here came that pool of golden liquid light, which is the blood of the Lamb. When I looked at the blood of the Lamb, I knew it was myself, it was not another, that I was my own Creator and Redeemer; and then… 535745
1967-04-24 [exact/certain/final] Going Up to Jerusalem How can you read those words and ever come to the conclusion that it means what it actually means when it happens to you? How could I actually be saved by the blood of the Lamb? How can I wash my robes in the blood of the Lamb? That’s exactly what happens. Because when you see it, it’s to you something so alive and you know what it is and it’s your self. Yes, it’s formless; it’s liquid, golden liquid living light. The minute you look at it you know it’s yourself, and you, the observer, your consciousness fuses with it, and then up you go, as told in scripture, like a serpent being lifted up… 535760
1967-10-20 [exact/certain/final] The Signs of the End But, one night, after you are resurrected, you will find yourself suddenly – you go to bed, and it’s a normal night, the day was normal – and suddenly you are split by a bolt of lightning “from east to west” – from the top of your skull to the base of your spine, and the body parts just like this the two sides actually move this way – come apart, and at the base of your spine is the golden, liquid light that is alive, and as you look at it – without anyone prompting you – you know, “It is I.” You are actually looking at your Self, and yet it’s golden, liquid light. It’s the blood of God! The… 542484
1967-10-20 [exact/certain/final] The Signs of the End Then comes the great revelation, which I would consider it the greatest, when you discover yourself as the Father – when God’s only begotten Son calls you “Father.” And you look right into his eyes; and then – and only then – do you really know Who You Are. Yet, the Son of Man hasn’t come. He doesn’t come until the next experience, and when the next one comes, then you move up like lightning into your skull. Following that comes, now, the sign given in Scripture, and “the one on whom you see the dove descend” – that is He. And so, I was told by the Most High God, the one on whom I saw the… 542489
1967-11-13 [exact/probable/final] The Promise Is the Fulfillment of God's Word How many times during the history of the world have men done violence to themselves trying to bring this power about? Many of the early fathers of the Christian faith castrated themselves in the hope that they could produce it, but it happens only when you are turned around. In my own case, I felt myself being split in two from top to bottom. Then I saw that golden liquid light which had gone down into generation and knew it to be myself. Fusing with that which I beheld, I went up the water shaft in a serpentine motion and entered Jerusalem, the city of love, and no one can enter any other… 552838
1967-12-11 [exact/probable/preferred] Christmas, the Birth of Christ in Man Well, this wonderful day that is approaching the outer world is a day that takes place in man. It’s a moment in time. In my own case it was not December the 25th, it was the 20th day of July of 1959. That was my Christmas. And my discovery of the fatherhood of God was on the 6th day of December of ’59. My splitting of the curtain of the temple of my own body was on the 8th day of April, 1960. And the descent of the dove upon me, smothering me with love, was on the 1st day of January in 1963. So these days are indelibly impressed upon me. But I do not use them as anniversaries, I simply wrote… 536914
1968-01-12 [exact/probable/final] The Man Within Now what comes next? He tells me that he’s going to take his own blood as a sacrifice of his journey…not the blood of another. And all of a sudden, the veil we are told is split from the top to the bottom. And then I find the veil is my own body as told us in Hebrews: “And the veil…he rent the veil from top to bottom…and the veil of the temple was his own flesh”. I found my own body split in two and parted, and I see the blood, living blood, and I am it. For life is in the blood and I am life: the life is an activity of my imagining. Because I have discovered it, I imagined and stopped it and… 556617
1968-02-12 [exact/certain/final] Salvation History Well, Tom, they could. I doubt it, I doubt it. They believe that if you simply bottle up the energy that is going down into generation that you could in some way reverse it into regeneration. You can’t do it, you just can’t do it. That is an act of the splitting of the temple. When that curtain is split from top to bottom, your whole body is split; and then you see the whole energy that was at the base of the spine, that living, wonderful, golden liquid light. You merge with it. You are the observer, and you merge with it, and you are it. Then you go like a serpent right up into your head. So… 537261
1968-02-23 [exact/certain/final] Did a Man Called Jesus Christ Walk the Earth? Then the whole Bible opens up differently…and you will see the wisdom of Blake when he said, “Rivers, mountains, cities, villages all are human for in eternity all are men.” So last Monday when we brought out that the great mountain that was divided, it’s called the great Mount of Olives, but it is man that is divided. It is my own body that was divided, and one part moved northward, one part moved southward after it was split from east to west. So all the mountains become man and you are that man. You are the river Jordan, you are everything in the Bible…there’s nothing but man. And so, the… 550695
1968-03-04 [exact/certain/final] The Way And so here, these two must come first. Then comes the splitting of the temple, where you do not take the blood of another, the blood of a goat, the blood of anything else; you take your own blood. And you are split from top to bottom and at the base of your spine is golden liquid light. It’s the blood of God and you are God…for it was just revealed to you, just four months before, that you are the father of God’s only begotten Son. So who now is split? It’s you…and therefore God is split, from top to bottom. And it’s God’s blood, it’s your blood, and you fuse with it and up you go as… 544089
1968-03-25 [exact/certain/final] The Serpent Now, he’s called “the serpent.” Do you believe that literally? May I tell you from my own personal experience, yes. We are told in the Book of John, the 3rd chapter, that: “No one ascends into heaven but he who first descended, the Son of man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up”. Here, who would think that infinity took the form of a serpent? Infinite power, infinite wisdom took the form of a serpent and entered the state called Satan. Satan means “the limit of opacity.” He took the form of man and man means in scripture “the limit of… 537647
1968-03-25 [exact/certain/final] The Serpent Here is the perfect adumbration. You see it? Only that which descends can ever ascend. So he tells you, “You see the ascent? It was the same one that descended.” There is no other way up. And when you go up, you actually go up as a serpent. It doesn’t make sense. Let the whole vast world rise in opposition and scream, it makes no difference to me whatsoever. I have experienced it. I have fulfilled scripture from beginning to end. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up. How is he lifted up? In the form of a serpent…the same serpent which… 537653
1968-04-12 [exact/certain/final] Real Meaning of Good Friday and Easter I know you ladies and I know that you would not be ecstatically happy if at this very moment I fell here and someone rushed to say, “He’s gone.” You would not be ecstatically happy; yet you were so in the vision. For it is right that you should be ecstatically happy when I die…I have to die…but I have already died. My birth…my birthday of that death was the 8th day of April, 1960, that’s when I died. I died to all generation, and all of my creative powers were completely turned around into regeneration. 537964
1968-04-12 [exact/certain/final] Real Meaning of Good Friday and Easter That’s why, night after night, I can do the work that I do, that I can create on the higher level and actually beget as God begets on the higher level. Because on that day, the 8th day of April, 1960 I was split right down, and that’s when God dies. And so, he cried with a loud voice…as he cried and yielded his spirit, then the curtain of the temple was torn from top to bottom, and the rocks were split, and the earth shook. Well, every little vertebra of the spine, that backbone of one, it split right down the middle. And then you, as told in scripture, like a serpent you move up into the… 537965
1968-04-12 [exact/certain/final] Real Meaning of Good Friday and Easter My religion is infinite power and taking upon himself the form of man. He said that he emptied himself and took upon himself the form of man, becoming obedient unto death, even the death upon the cross . So a complete, I would say, abdication. He just simply completely abdicated his infinite power and assumed the limitations of this concrete state called man, but he had not yet died; the death comes at the splitting of the temple. It’s concealed, but if you read it carefully, “And he yielded up the spirit,” and that was when he died. Now, Luke reversed it—it yields it up first and then comes… 538005
1968-04-22 [exact/certain/final] My Word Shall Accomplish My Purpose How am I redeemed? Well, the one who put me into bondage has to redeem me, and the only way he can redeem me is to give me himself. For, “life is in the blood” and he has to redeem me with his life. When I am split right down the middle, there I see that sacred drop of blood—that golden, liquid living symbol—I fuse with it, I am that, and I bring it back…so I redeem his blood. He gave his blood for me; I become it, and I return as his drop of blood; into the Holy of Holies I take it. So I must be redeemed and he who redeems me gave a pledge. So it really means “to regain an article that in… 551783
1968-04-26 [exact/certain/final] The World Is Imaginal in Character When he begins to unveil it in you, he first begins with resurrection, which is followed instantly, that same moment, by birth from above. Then a passage of months, five months, and then comes the discovery of his Son, who calls you Father. That Son is not Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ is God the Father. That Son who calls him Father is David of biblical fame. Then will come that moment in time when the temple of his body, which is your body now, for he has woven himself into you and now he unwinds himself as you. You’re told the curtain of the temple was flesh and it split in two from top to… 550541
1968-04-29 [exact/probable/final] Moses and Joshua So here is his glorious mystery unfolding within us, and Moses is simply the representative in germinal form of the whole future of Israel. Israel is the elect…one being pulled out, one by one by one…then that term begins to erupt within man and everything that is recorded in the signs unfolds in man in the most literal sense. Who would think that that imagery of a pole and a fiery serpent on it was literally true? And I tell you from my own experience it is, it’s literally true. Everything said about him you are going to experience, and that’s how you enter the Promised Land…the Promised… 551164
1968-05-03 [exact/probable/final] Natural Effects Have Spiritual Causes And may I tell you, it seems strange in this world to make these statements, but I know from experience they are true. I know how we play these parts after we are awakened from the dream of life. Then man is twice born, born from above, if he’s of that school, that spirit, and then we re-enter like a serpent. If you go up in a small little way like this, that’s not it. But when you go up as though you were a bolt of spiral lightning and you vibrate the entire skull and you’re still vibrating it, trying to get out and finally you subside, that’s the power that he can use. That’s the one that… 548825
1968-05-31 [exact/certain/final] The Cup of Foaming Wine The end will come suddenly upon man in a series of dramatic mystical experiences, his birth and resurrection from above; resurrection first, followed immediately by the birth. Then the discovery of the Fatherhood of God as himself because the Father’s Son calls him Father. Then the complete splitting of the curtain of the temple and it is his own body that is split. Then his ascent into the Holy of Holies in the only way that you could never get up: He goes up in a serpentine form, because he’s going into Zion. And David captures Zion by going up the stairway in a circular motion. For if we… 538163
1968-07-17 [exact/certain/final] The Pattern Man Well, this erupted in me on the 20th day of July 1959, in this City of San Francisco. On the 6th day of December was the second eruption of the same year, ’59. On the 8th day of April of 1960 was the third eruption, and then on the first day of January of 1963 for the fourth eruption. When you add from the 20th day of July 1959 to the first day of January 1963, you will see it comes to 1,260 days − right to the day. 543072
1968-07-26 [exact/certain/final] The Signs of the End Turn the calendar, now to the 8th day of April 1960. Again, I retire without any thought in mind that something is going to happen this night. I didn’t know what the next sign was. I knew these two had happened, but I didn’t anticipate them because I was never taught them. I didn’t see them in Scripture. I didn’t foresee it; it just happened. On the morning of the 8th of April, a bolt of lightning – out of the blue – it struck me, and split me in two from the top of my head to the base of my spine – and here I am, parted. Two halves of the being called Neville; his whole body is parted right… 551222
1968-09-13 [exact/certain/final] One Thousand Two-Hundred Sixty Days On the 8th day of April, 1960, a bolt of lightning split me in two from the top of my head to the base of my spine and I separated. At the base of my spine I saw golden liquid light, which I knew to be myself. Fusing with it, I ascended like a serpent in a fire of lightning back into my skull, as it reverberated as though shattered. I recorded that vision as against the passages: “The curtain of the Lord was split in two from top to bottom” and: “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up.” 538641
1968-09-20 [exact/certain/final] God's Wisest Creature Now, every mystic sees the journey as one of six thousand years. Blake beheld the visions of his deadly sleep of six thousand years as dancing around his skirts like a serpent of precious stones and gold - which he knew to be himself. How can I describe my vision other than to say that when my body was split from top to bottom, I did not see a form, only golden, liquid light, which I knew to be myself. Then I fused with it and rose, just like a serpent, into my skull. 552904
1968-09-23 [exact/certain/final] The Father I hope that this will be your experience in the not distant future, for you can mark it down. From ’34 to ’59 was the time allotted in my case. Then from ’59 to ’63 the four mighty acts unfold. The first is your resurrection and birth from above. The second is the discovery of David, who calls you Father. The splitting of the temple (which is your body) from top to bottom and your ascent like a serpent into heaven is the third. The descent of the dove which smothers you with love is the fourth and final mighty act of God. 538698
1968-10-07 [exact/certain/final] The Most Precious Gift Now, he says in the next verse, “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up.” Now, a hundred and twenty-three days after David calls you, “Father,” a bolt of lightning tears your body in two from the top of your head to the base of your spine. One blow, and you are cut . . no pain, no pain whatsoever . . just one sharp blow of a bolt of lightning and you look at the body, and it’s torn from top to bottom, and it is separated about six inches. At the base of that spine is golden, pulsing, liquid light. 528148
1968-10-07 [exact/certain/final] The Most Precious Gift Then, nine hundred and ninety-eight days later, completing the cycle of one thousand two hundred and sixty days . . as told us in the 12th chapter of Daniel and the 12th chapter of Revelation . . from the birth of the child, from the birth of the child, as told us in Revelation, when this miraculous child appears, it will take twelve hundred and sixty days, and on that twelve hundred and sixtieth day the heavens open . . and Heaven is within you. Your skull opens. Everything becomes translucent. There is no circumference, but none whatsoever! It’s not bounded by anything . . a complete… 528151
1968-10-07 [exact/certain/final] The Most Precious Gift So, all of us were buried in Golgotha, and Golgotha is your skull. But there is a Universal Skull. It’s called “Zion” in Scripture. In the 87th Psalm, it says, “This one was born here and that one was born there, and these were born here and he points out within Zion, and Zion is the home of the Lord Jesus Christ. All are born at this one point within the Universal Skull, but your skull, individually, is but a replica of the Universal Skull. If I could pinpoint for you with my finger where, when I ascended, I actually reverberated, it would be a little bit left of the straight line, if I drew… 528154
1968-10-18 [exact/probable/final] A Revelation of the Risen Christ Then one day, he awakes in the tomb where he was placed in the beginning. And to his amazement he didn’t even know that he was ever asleep. He didn’t know that he was ever in a tomb, and never thought for one second that his skull was that tomb. He only thought of tombs in church yards, tombs in some place in the outer world where his descendants would go and say, “Grandfather is buried here or grandmother is buried here” and he thought that was the tomb, a tomb in which they placed what he thought once was something other than himself, called Jesus Christ. Then one day, he discovers… 549027
1968-10-21 [exact/certain/final] Fall in Love with Christ So, not one person saw him as the risen Christ until after the ascension. Read it carefully, not one saw him. People think the ascension means he died and then he rose. No. While you’re walking this world in a body of flesh and blood, you have the experience of the ascension. That’s why I told you I’m not here…my nights are certainly not here, and if I am anchored here during the day to complete a certain passage of time, all well and good. But on the 8th day of April, 1960 (well, that’s eight years ago) I ascended. And from that day on everything in me was turned around, and from that day on… 545920
1968-10-21 [exact/certain/final] Fall in Love with Christ Now I know that many have had the experiences and they never once recorded it. Put it down next to the parallel passage of scripture. When mine happened, instantly I wrote it in the Bible against that parallel passage. Just like the scripture tells us, that paragraph was complete in itself. If I never had another experience, I wouldn’t know there were other experiences. And so, when on the 6th day of December the other one came, I put it against its parallel passage. But the first one did not depend upon the second to exist. That first one is a complete paragraph within itself. And the second… 545927
1968-11-11 [exact/probable/final] Jesus Christ: Your Creative Power Then we go forward and we find from that day 123 days later…now we turn back to the 3rd chapter of John, he’s still speaking to Nicodemus, and he said to him, “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up” . What you read about in the Book of Numbers, read about in the Old Testament was only an adumbration, a foreshadowing in a not altogether conclusive or immediately evident way, a foreshadowing. Because, when it happens it is not…it is so personal it’s not what you suspected. You didn’t expect this thing is going to happen in a personal manner. You… 543550
1968-11-11 [exact/probable/final] Jesus Christ: Your Creative Power So 123 days after the discovery of the Fatherhood of God, which is himself, through his Son David calling him Father, his whole body is split from top to bottom, from the very top to the base of his spine, by one quick blow like a lightning bolt. And he finds himself looking at the base of his spine and he sees a pool of golden, liquid light. He looks at it and he knows it is himself. How can a man look at a golden, liquid, pulsing, living light and actually know in the depths of his soul he is looking at himself? And he also knows as he looks at it, it is my redeemer and creator, my very… 543551
1969-03-10 [exact/certain/final] You Can Never Outgrow I AM So who is Christ? And who is the Lord? Did scripture not fulfill itself in me? I have come only to fulfill scripture, and this I have done. I know I am the temple of the Living God, for my body was torn from top to bottom. I found my son, He who was set up in the beginning to reveal me as the Father. This is not what the priesthoods teach; but I am telling you what I have experienced, for I have found David. He cried unto me: “Thou art my Father.” I do not care what the priesthoods of the world may say; I am telling you what I know from experience. If they do not believe in me, they will… 539555
1969-03-24 [exact/certain/final] God's Plan of Redemption When God awoke within me, there were not two of us, only one I am. I am he who had the experience. I am he who pushed that stone away and came out of my tomb. I am he who held the child in my arms and heard God’s son call me father. I am he who experienced the complete severance when my body was torn from top to bottom. And when the dove descended and smothered me with love, I am he who experienced it. 552510
1969-04-04 [exact/certain/preferred] The True Vine Blake expressed this thought so beautifully in Plate 96 of “Jerusalem,” as: “I behold the Visions of my deadly sleep of six-thousand years Dazzling around my skirts like a Serpent of precious stones and gold. I know it is my Self: O my Divine Creator and Redeemer.” I have beheld those visions. I have known the thrill of seeing that pool of golden liquid light and knowing it to be my Self. And I have experienced the 3rd chapter of John by ascending into the kingdom of God within myself. I was taught to believe in someone on the outside; yet, when my Spiritual body was split and truth was… 539653
1969-04-18 [exact/certain/final] Forgiveness and the Immortal Eyes And soon after your resurrection, which is the same night, you are born from above. And then days later, to be exact 139 days later, you find the Father. Then 123 days later comes the splitting of the curtain of the temple, which is your own body…and there you see what the lady saw, that liquid, molten gold. And then like a serpent…as you fuse with that gold you move up like a serpent back into your own skull, which is heaven (). Then 998 days later the dove descends upon you, because the whole thing is over and here the Spirit of the Most High has rested upon you (). Then you can say, as it… 547838
1969-05-02 [exact/certain/preferred] One Being Fell Containing All Now the third mighty act shows you how it is reduced to molten metal. And here he finds himself, as told us in the Book of Zechariah, standing upon the Mount of Olives, and then the Mount is split from east to west, and one-half moves northward and one-half moves south. Here, this entire valley…well, he sees the entire…but the Mount of Olives is his body. He didn’t know that before. He read it in scripture, but he didn’t realize the Old Testament is an adumbration…it is simply a forecasting, a foreshadowing, in a not all together conclusive and immediately evident way. It’s simply an… 539958
1969-05-05 [exact/probable/final] The Wisdom, Power, and Glory Buried in Us My dear, from the time I was a little boy I had things I could not understand, so I can’t go back to that. But I had mystical or psychic experiences that I did not understand that scared me to death. My one great one that began it all was when I was taken into the divine assembly and brought before the risen Lord. I’ve told you that story and I have written it. Well, that happened in 1929, in the summer of ’29. Thirty years later began the unfolding of these mighty acts of God within me: the resurrection and the birth, the discovery of the fatherhood of God, the splitting of the curtain of… 547079
1969-05-16 [exact/probable/final] The Lord's Anointed You cannot miss it. When you see him you could never in eternity forget it, because you know what you are intended to find before you set sail; and when it happens it’s like memory returning. No one tells you he is David. You know it, as no one need tell you the name of your son. If you’ve known your son and lived with your son and he was lost, when you found your son he doesn’t ask you who you are…my son….You know that you found your son. “For this my son was dead and he’s alive again.

1969-06-09 [exact/probable/final] Pursue Truth with Ceaseless Questioning Then came that day in my experience when I proved that I am the resurrection; because I felt myself resurrecting within the grave of my own skull, and that was proof of that statement in scripture that I am. Well, who resurrected? I did. Well, who is resurrecting?—I am. “I am the resurrection”; I have proved that. I have proved this then that I am the resurrection before I proved that I am the Father. He said, “I am the Father”…I didn’t know that. How could I prove that I am the Father? Suddenly, after having proved I am the resurrection then I prove by the Son who called me Father that I am… 543012
1969-06-09 [exact/certain/final] The First Principle After proving to myself that I am the life of a state, I questioned the statement: “I am the resurrection.” Then came the day when I felt myself resurrect within the grave of my own skull. I proved that I am the Father when my son came in the Spirit and called me “Father.” I discovered that I am the one who was sacrificed, for – knowing I am the Father – my spiritual body was split from top to bottom. Then I discovered that I was the one upon whom the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form as a dove. These things I now know to be true from experience, therefore I speak with authority. 540245
1969-06-13 [exact/certain/final] God's Mystery of Christ Well, Paul uses the word mystery no less than twenty times in his letters. He insists that it is a mystery and asks people to listen carefully or to read his letters carefully. A mystery is really by definition a sacred secret. That’s what it really is, a sacred secret. But he will let us into the secret as he was let into it: “When it pleased God to reveal his Son in me, I then communed not with flesh and blood” . So a mystery…my birth from above was prior to the event a mystery to me. I never heard anyone describe it. It came suddenly and it was an awful shock. My resurrection was to me a… 545799
1969-09-15 [exact/certain/final] Imagination's Power The pattern? Well, the New Testament begins not as it is said with the birth…although it is written that way…not in the Book of John, in the Book of Luke and Matthew. Mark does not begin it with the birth and neither does John. But I’ll tell you the pattern: the pattern begins with the resurrection. You resurrect within your own skull; that’s where you’re buried. God is buried in man and the burial ground is his skull, the skull of man. It’s called Golgotha in scripture, which means “skull.” You will awaken one day to discover that you’ve been a long, long time asleep. Someone who placed you… 544565
1969-10-31 [exact/certain/final] Fundamental Revelation: Jesus Christ in Us May I tell you from my own experience, you will have this experience, you will feel and actually see and know that you are the center of infinite light, pulsing living light. There is no circumference, none whatsoever. You are the center and there’s only light. Not a thing within it, no worlds, and no suns, no planets, but nothing. Just you and you are infinite light. You will know that from an actual experience. 541150
1969-12-12 [exact/probable/final] The Mystery of Christmas So, all these things when you read them it takes one who has experienced it to explain the Old Testament. Who on earth would ever have believed that when we are told in the 3rd chapter of John—for he calls himself the Son of man: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up” . He likens himself to a serpent, and who would have thought for one moment that the Son of man is just like that fiery serpent? And that you go up, just as he described it, in spiral form right into heaven, where heaven is within you as you’re told in the Book of Luke, “The… 539338
1970-06-01 [exact/certain/final] Self-Abandonment This is something that is all within you. And then comes this shocking suddenness. When you least expected it, it all happened in you. We go back to Ephesians. “He set it forth as a plan in Christ for the fullness of time.” He set it forth in Christ. In Christ? Yes, and Christ is in you! God Himself descended into man, and He set forth His plan of redemption in Christ. So, in Christ it is in man. It has, now, to unfold in man. So, it unfolded in me, and I realized that “I am He” who came down, for no one can go up unless he first came down. Well, having gone up in the fiery serpent manner,… 526949
1970-06-12 [exact/certain/final] His to Give Yours to Receive Then what is this circumcision of the heart? How is it done? Well, this is going to be the blood that you are going to take into the Holy of Holies; and on that day a bolt of lightning splits you in two from top to bottom, and at the base of your spine is the golden liquid light . . living, living, pulsing light. It is the blood of God. But you look at it, and you know it’s your Self. For are we not told the life is in the blood? And did he not say, “I AM the Life,” . . “I AM the Resurrection and the Life”? So, I AM the Life. I looked at it, and I knew as I looked at it I am looking at my… 526578
1970-06-22 [exact/certain/final] The Truth of Christ Is Here So here, if I am ever to ascend, well then, I must be the one who descended, and that I know from my own personal experience. And just as you are told in the Old Testament in the 21st chapter of Numbers, “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness” – what was the serpent? – It was a fiery serpent, a brazen, fiery serpent. That’s exactly how you are lifted up. You are split in two from top to bottom, and then you behold this fiery, golden, liquid light at the base of your spine; and, like a serpent – a fiery serpent, coiled like spiral lightning – you ascend into heaven. Well, where… 964893
1970-07-07 [exact/certain/final] The Morning Star Then, a hundred and twenty-three days later, here comes another grand event, and my temple is split, for we are told in Scripture. “You are the temple of the Living God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you.” If you are the temple of the Living God and the curtain of the temple is torn from top to bottom, there must be something about you that is torn from top to bottom. Don’t go into any temple made with hands, for you will not find God there. God dwells in a temple made without hands, and if you are the temple of the Living God and the Living God’s Spirit dwells within you, and the curtain… 541793
1970-07-07 [exact/certain/final] The Morning Star And it is! A bolt of lightning strikes you and you are cut in two from the top of your skull to the base of your spine, and you see at the base of your spine what appears to be a pool of golden, liquid light, and as you contemplate it, you know it is yourself. As you know that it is yourself, you fuse with it, and then like a coil of lightning you ascend what would be your spinal column right into your own skull, and the whole thing reverberates . . reverberates just like thunder, and you return into the Heaven of Heavens, into the Holy of Holies, taking, not the blood of calves, the blood of… 541794
1970-07-07 [exact/certain/final] The Morning Star And, then, nine hundred and ninety-eight days later, making a total of one thousand two hundred and sixty days, the dove . . the symbol of the Holy Spirit . . hovers above you as though floating . . floating on water, but the water is crystal clear . . luminous, but it is transparent. But the action of the dove leads you to believe it must be floating, for it doesn’t use its wings. It makes no effort to remain afloat; it is simply floating, but it is floating without the effort made for a bird to move. It makes no effort; therefore, it is floating as a duck would float. But it’s not a duck;… 541796
1970-07-16 [exact/certain/final] Untitled lecture Well, you see, in the Bible numbers have their symbol- ical meaning. They have multiple meanings. “Forty” is the 13th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The letter is “MEM.” Its symbol is the womb of a woman, that which gives birth. So, here he goes into the period of creativity. Will he accept the test? He accepts the test, but he plays only Scripture in defiance of his own temptation. It*s not a being outside of himself tempting him. The whole story unfolds within the mind of ; the individual. Will I believe what I have heard tonight? Then the test starts. Will I accept what I’ve heard tonight?… 526096
1971 [exact/probable/final] The Eternal Body I am telling you what I know from experience. Everyone in this world is going to have that experience. For your true being is God, not something on the outside. The God in you, now entombed in the body that you, in your descent, penetrated and annexed its brain. And do not let anyone tell you that the descent, as you descend it — what an adventure! — and annexed the brain of the body you now wear, that that is less wonderful than what you are going to experience when you ascend and you penetrate and annex the brain of the heavenly man. That ascent is as real as anything you’ve ever dreamed in… 553391
1971 [exact/probable/preferred/estimated] God's Timeless Purpose 11 years ago, on the 8th of April, when I was lifted up, as my body, the cross that I wore, through the sanctuaries, at that moment in time it was split in two, from top to bottom. And here — I saw, how on earth can you describe this to any person and make sense of it — here my body is completely split in two. And I am looking now at a pool of golden liquid pulsing light. And I know it is myself. As I know it, I, the observer, fuse with it. It is myself. My own redeemer and creator. And yet it is myself. Like a self-redemption. A self-created being. Fiery serpent, I ascended into heaven. You… 556377
1971 [exact/probable/preferred] I Say You Are Gods Well, it is — without any thought whatsoever, not knowing the moment it’s going to happen, not even knowing though he wants it to happen — the day will come that you will be torn into from top to bottom, from the top of your head to the base of your spine, and it will separate. And at the base of the spine you will see golden, pulsing, liquid light — “I am the light of the world” — you’ll see it, and, as an observer, you will know you are what you are, that you’re actually beholding yourself. It has no face, it’s simply golden, golden discs of light, and as you contemplate it, you fuse on it,… 553719
1971 [exact/probable/preferred] Amnesia, the Sleep of Death Who would have thought for one moment that you would experience that in the only way you would ever explain it? That suddenly your body is split from top to bottom, and you look at the base of your spine — at the base is a golden, liquid, pulsing light. As you contemplate it, you know it is yourself, and you fuse with it, and at the moment of fusion, one sudden assault in a spiral, fiery manner, you were seen into Zion, and there you are, as told in Scripture, “they take it by violence, the violent take it by force.” And the whole thing reverberates — does it reverberate! Your skull… 553128
1971-03 [between/probable/preferred] The Mystery of Jesus Christ And yet it happened in me. The entire pattern gathered itself together in me, and in 1,260 days it unfolded in me. And here I am now, fully conscious of the fact that I am the father of David, that David mentioned in those 39 books. I am fully conscious of the fact that it was of me that Moses wrote when he spoke of the fiery serpent rising up upon the great staff. It was of me that they wrote when that dove returned to the ark, and then Noah stretched out his hand — pardon me — and took him into the ark. That I am that ark, containing all things. All things are contained within me, and I am… 555579
1971-03-22 [exact/certain/final] The Law: Your Choice and Risk She is fantastic in hearing what she wants to hear in the world of Caesar; but may I tell you? You can go beyond that and take it into the world of Promise. If someone can say to you, “I have a lavish, steady, dependable income, consistent with integrity and mutual benefit,” and your ear is so sensitive that you can hear exactly what the other one says . . there are two witnesses now. “If two agree on earth about any request that they might make, that request will be granted by my Heavenly Father.” Well now, that’s a request. It doesn’t limit it there. Could I say to you, I have had the… 530871
1971-04-02 [exact/possible/preferred/estimated] Truth Seen Is Not Forgotten It must, because He sent me and His word, and He is called the Word of God. He only sends the Word. And I am the word that He sent. He embraced me—incorporated me into his body, which is infinite love—and then sent me. And therefore, I cannot return unto Him void. I must return unto Him, having completed the action that He sent me to perform. And so, having performed it, He has His own way now of spreading it. Just as a small, little company of 120 has overrun the earth—1,200 translations, including dialects—outnumbering all the best sellers put together year after year after year. And no one… 551062
1971-04-12 [exact/certain/final] The True Exodus and things comes the grand severance of your body from top to bottom and you’re a saint separating the event called resurrection from the ascension and you can come from it’s not only 40 days you can come to holding up it’s between my within the 30th of july 15 a fory. 14 a.m. and the Ascent took place on the 8th day of April of 1960. And that’s when one ascends, ascends into heaven. And the whole thing as you are told reverberates like thunder. And then comes the seal of approval on the 1260th day. And that is the descent of the Holy Spirit in bodily form as a dove. And here he rests upon… 556772
1971-05-10 [exact/certain/final] Step into the Picture That’s how it works. I know from my own personal experience. I am sharing with you what I have experienced, both in the world of Caesar and in the world that is transcendent, something entirely different; so when I speak of being “born from above,” I am not theorizing. I am telling you exactly what happened to me. When I speak of meeting the Son of God who calls me, “Father,” I am telling you exactly what happened to me. When I tell you I ascended into Heaven like a fiery serpent, as told in Scripture, that’s exactly what happened to me. When the dove descended upon my hand, and then… 549528
1971-05-28 [exact/certain/final] Experience Scripture Now I tell you, the “Mount” is your Self. Everything about the story is all within you. On the morning of the 8th of April 1960 suddenly I am split from east to west, . . meaning my body, . . from the top of my skull to the base of my spine; and it parted about six inches . . a vast valley between the two sections of my body. At the base, which would be the spine, is a pool of living, golden light . . “living water.” Then I looked at it, and I could say with Blake, “I knew it was my Self.” I am looking at it, and I not only knew it was my Self, I knew it was my own Creator and Redeemer; and I… 548346
1971-06-07 [exact/certain/final] The Mystery Called Christ But when the day comes for the individual, no one knows of that hour, of that day; only the Father knows. No one knows but the Father. Let no one tell you that they can tell you when it’s going to happen. I know from my own experience it comes so suddenly. Little did I expect the night I went to bed in San Francisco that that night, on July the 20th, 1959, was the night. Nor on the 6th day of December of the same year, did I know that that night the Fatherhood of God would be revealed to me by His Son, who would call me “father.” Little did I know of the Ascent into Heaven on the morning of… 542024
1971-06-07 [exact/certain/final] The Mystery Called Christ Now, that is a different kind of a dream. That’s a symbol of sex. You cannot crush out sex on this level. It has to be something entirely different. You don’t crush it out. You start to crush it out, and strange, peculiar dreams will possess you. It has to be transcended in the most normal, natural manner. It’s not really transcended until you ascend into Heaven. That comes when your body is split from top to bottom, and you . . like a fiery serpent . . ascend into Heaven. When you see that golden, liquid light at the base of your spine, after your body is severed in two from top to bottom,… 542032
1971-06-25 [exact/probable/final] Purpose Revealed Now the third one, you will find yourself, — and this is a marvelous one; the day will come, you will be split in two from top to bottom, and you will see at the base of your spine golden, liquid, pulsing, living light. Although it’s liquid, pulsing light, you know it is your Self; and you fuse with it; and then like a fiery serpent, you rise into your skull. And when you enter, it is just like thunder. You reverberate; your whole head begins one grand, marvelous reverberation. You think it’s going to split; but no, — it subsides, and you have gone back into Heaven! That’s how you take Heaven… 531093
1971-07-20 [exact/certain/final] His Purpose This comes 123 days after the discovery that David is your son, revealing you as God the Father. A bolt of lightning, seemingly out of the blue, splits you in two from the top of your head to the base of your spine. Then you look at the base of your spine and there you see a golden, liquid, pulsing, living light. As you contemplate it, you know it is your Self, and you fuse with it. You become one with that, which you contemplate, and then, like a bolt of spiral lightning, you ascend your spine into your skull once more, and it reverberates like thunder. We are told, “You will take the… 542103
1972 [exact/probable/preferred] Eighth of John Now he makes the statement, “As the son of man is lifted up.” When the son of man is lifted up, you will know that I am he. He tells you earlier, “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up.” If you were not lifted up like that fiery serpent, you would not understand that statement. It’s so completely condensed, the meaning would escape you. But having ascended like a fiery serpent after my body was split in two from top to bottom, and seeing that living, pulsing light, that golden liquid light fusing with it, and then, like a fiery serpent, moving… 553300
1972 [exact/certain/final] The Pattern Man There was a promise in the beginning. He found that in the early parts of Genesis. He promises a child -- a child that would prove something. That’s the son coming, just a son. Then he tells you: “Here’s another sign: As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up.” That is in the Book of Exodus. And, then, that happens to you. “To me in this same manner?” Yes, it’s going to happen to you. It happened to me. Like a fiery serpent I was lifted up; and here is something that recorded it thousands of years ago. The whole thing is contemporary. It is an… 554948
1972-01-31 [exact/certain/final] What Is Man And when man is turned around by a complete splitting of the temple, for the curtain of the temple is torn in two from top to bottom, and at the base of your spine, you’re going to see a golden, pulsing liquid light. And as you see it, you’re going to know that you are it. You’re actually looking at yourself and yet it is formless and you fuse with it, and then you become that fiery serpent, and up you go into the brain and it vibrates like thunder. Then you are completely turned around. The energies that went down into generation are now turned up into regeneration. 549562
1972-03-06 [exact/certain/final] John the Crown of Scripture Now all in that concentrated third chapter, 126 days later, there comes or 123 days later, you can check me on it; here you are split in two from top to bottom. And then like a fiery serpent you go up like one twist and that twist is simply a spiral and you enter your head and it vibrates like thunder. So as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up. Do you think he’s lifted up on a cross? No. The whole drama is taking place in you. It has nothing to do with anything on the outside. And you are lifted up—that fiery being that you are. And I’ll tell you… 526689
1972-03-17 [exact/certain/final] Ends Ultimate and Temporary All these wonderful things that you read in Scripture, and these are the word of God, but they’re only shadows. These are the shadows of reality. And when reality takes place, it is so unlike what the shadow appears to be. When you read the story of the serpent being lifted up on the tree or the trunk of the tree or the staff, and you think that someone called Moses took a serpent, a fiery serpent or a brazen serpent, and lifted it up with a staff, and all who looked upon it were cured, were healed. No, that was the shadow when it actually happens to you. Now listen to the words. We are told… 526284
1972-03-17 [exact/certain/final] Ends Ultimate and Temporary So, we are told, and I acted, and it came to pass. I acted and it came to pass. And so, I didn’t see a being on the outside calling himself God. I awoke within my skull and found it to be a sepulcher. It was I who awoke, it was I who came out. It was I who found a little child wrapped in swaddling clothes. It was I who saw the three witnesses, bearing witness to the event that I had just experienced. It was I who heard the wind and the wind was like some storm. It was I who saw David, who revealed to me that I am his Father and he is my Son. It was I whose body was split in two from top to… 526310
1972-04 [circa/probable/preferred] Acts of God He does not put it in a chronological manner. No one does in scripture. I think I have given you a far greater chronological picture than anyone I have ever seen in print. I have told you exactly how it happened to me and the spaces in between from the moment of the awakening within me which is resurrection and the birth coming the same night 139 days later for the discovery of the son who reveals me as father. Then 123 days after that for the splitting of the curtain of the temple and I am the temple for my whole body was split and then another 998 day not no two years beyond that bringing… 557423
No date on record I AM He Now you are called upon this to put into the text. As it is in the text concerning this being, I know from experience to be true. And when you have lifted up the Son of Man, you will know that I am He. Well, how is the Son of Man lifted up? We are told in Scripture, as Moses in the desert lifted up the serpent, so must the Son of Man be lifted up. Well, that’s an adumbration. That is a foreshadowing. We are told that all the things of whom we spoke, and Moses is the state of consciousness, they were copied. They are shadows of the reality. So you copy what you saw. You saw something like a… 556814
No date on record Heirs to the Universe Did David not call him my Lord? For David called me my Lord.

And not a serpent rose, I was a serpent, a fiery serpent, that rose. 555364

On the morning of the 8th of April, a bolt of lightning – out of the blue – it struck me, and split me in two from the top of my head to the base of my spine – and here I am, parted. Two halves of the being called Neville; his whole body is parted right down the entire spine – every little thing is split in two. At the base of my spine is a body of golden liquid, living light. I contemplate it. As I contemplated it, I fused with it, and then, like a serpent of spiral light, I actually moved up my entire body right into my skull.

Now, he says in the next verse, “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up.” (John 3:14) Now, a hundred and twenty-three days after David calls you, “Father,” a bolt of lightning tears your body in two from the top of your head to the base of your spine. One blow, and you are cut . . no pain, no pain whatsoever . . just one sharp blow of a bolt of lightning and you look at the body, and it’s torn from top to bottom, and it is separated about six inches. At the base of that spine is golden, pulsing, liquid light. Now, we are told, “At this moment…
