The Bible: Your Spiritual Biography |
So here is this book of ours, the beginning of all, truly. It is divine imagining and divine imagining buries itself in man, in a coffin in Egypt. The word “coffin” is the same as the word “ark.” The letter qoph is this, and you and I have no idea - I know I had none. I thought I was still alive. I thought everyone was alive or dying. They became either filled with dreams or visions, or unconsciousness, but when I awoke, then I was alive, awake. I didn’t realize it was a dream within a dream. Here we are dreaming the most fantastic nightmares in the world. |

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. |

The Crucifixion |
Now listen to this carefully. It has been given to me and you; take it for what it’s worth. The promise of this begins in Genesis, the promise of an infant called Isaac. The whole vast world has the strangest concept of Isaac. The Lord begot Isaac. Isaac is to be [...] not as the result of generation but the shaping of the unbegotten. Here is God, the unbegotten, shaping himself upon us; and when he completes that shape and it’s perfect in his eye, then we are born from above. So Isaac is the shaping of the unbegotten. For God is not begotten. He is begetting himself on man, individual man.… |

But I do know that when it pleased him, that which he begot in me, and then it took nine months for the entire series of mystical experiences, as described in scripture, to completely unfold within me. And so I can tell you it’s going to happen to you. And so there’s no time; it took nine months from the moment of the birth, but when that birth takes place, it’s all in God’s keeping. You and I are put through the furnaces of affliction. Let no one tell you that you’re not going to. “As I have planned it, so shall it be, and as I have purposed it, so shall it stand.” And no one will thwart it,… |

Christmas, the Redeeming Message |
The gospels are not biographies of Jesus. They are really telling the story of salvation. Christianity is based upon the affirmation that a certain series of events happened in which God revealed himself in action for the salvation of man. So you ask the question, “Did they really happen? Did they happen?” So as I stand before you, I can tell you they did happen. |

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. |

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… |

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. |

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.

Now to the 1,260 days. On July 20 of the year 1959, my day was normal. I lectured in the morning to a large audience in San Francisco. Calling my wife around 9:00 P.M., I read the Bible and a bit of Blake and retired about 11:00 P.M., expecting nothing other than a normal, restful sleep. |

The Father |
Now this happened to me in 1934, and the mighty acts of God did not start to awaken me until 1959, so my Father knows all. He knew in ’34 that regardless of what happened (wars or rumors of wars) I would be here in a garment of flesh and blood in ’59, for in the interval of time between ’59 and ’63 he knew what he was going to do to his projected image. He also knows the moment of my departure. I only know it is this interval of time, for I have finished the race. I have fought the good fight and I have kept the faith, but the day of my departure I do not know. That hour only he knows.… |

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. |

He labored with his tremendous know-how of the human form and he could work in all these different media.

Who Paul Really Is |
I will tell you, all will make it, but all are not ready to make it. That was an adumbration. That was a foreshadowing of what is in store for everyone in this world. This is the mystery of life-through-death. Unless a seed, or the grain of wheat, falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it brings forth much. So, God dies . . literally dies. God became, as I AM, that I may be as He is. He can’t pretend that He is Neville. He has to actually become me, and therefore, in becoming me, He died. He is buried in my skull. That’s where He is buried. And the day will come, I… |

Who Is Jesus |
I know in my own case it was revealed to me that “I will make myself known unto you in a vision, and I will speak with you in a dream.” Well, he revealed himself to me as the dreamer in me. He said, “I laid myself down within you to sleep, and as I slept I dreamed a dream.” I dreamed, and I knew what he was dreaming: he is dreaming that he is I, and that when he awakes, I am he. He was revealed to me as vividly as anything could be to anyone. He laid himself down within me to sleep, and in his sleep he had a dream, and he is dreaming that he is I. |

Immortal Man |
So I am finding myself in a state where I’m called. The night I was called, back in 1929, I had no idea I had arrived at that state. But here I am, called into the presence of infinite love, and it’s man. Having answered his question correctly, that love was the greatest thing in the world. He embraced me and we fused and became one body, one spirit. For he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with the Lord. At that moment it was not enough to be called and to be incorporated into the body of God, but to be sent on a mission. And I did not know that mission until it unfolded itself… |

David Christ |
I can’t tell anyone the shock that was mine when it unfolded itself in me. I was raised in a Christian home and considered myself, and still do, a Christian. I feel that Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism. You can’t separate them. It’s a hyphenated word, and you cannot separate them. When someone takes the New Testament and gives one the New Testament and says, “That’s all you need,” it’s stupid. It’s like giving me the solution of a problem and telling me, “Now just write down the solution — that’s all that the teacher wants from you,” and I do not know what I’m writing. Here is the… |

Immortal Man |
But to make myself clear: when you are in the final state, the apostle, it doesn’t mean you’re better than you yourself when you’re in that multitude of confusion, for God was playing that as he’s playing the state of the apostle. But God is above all states, and you are God, so you’re not an apostle forever — you play that, and that’s the final part of the journey, and you come out redeemed. When you hit that state and you know that you are the apostle, because you’re sent, and the apostle is one who is sent — it’s only then you know you’ve been chosen for a definite reason, and you’re sent… |

God's Son |
It took me 1,260 days or you can say three-and-a-half months, or three-and-a-half years, pardon me, or forty-two months. These things are all in Scripture. Forty-two months, three- and-a-half years, or “time, times, and half a time,” or 1,260 days. It takes exactly 1,260 days. From the 20th day of July of 1959 to the first day of January 1963, comes to 1,260 days. And that was the interval in which the whole thing happened. Our visions came after that but they are not considered the mark. These are the marks that took 1,260 days. |

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… |

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… |

The Promise's Fulfillment in You |
And when the dream is over, we aren’t two. We are one. No longer will he simply treat me as something on the outside, an emanation of His. No more the emanation, He cleaves to me and we become one being. So when a man leaves this world, his father, his mother, and cleaves to his wife, and this is the wife, the emanation of God. Yet, though His emanation, it’s his wife until the dream is over. When the sleep is over, we aren’t two. We’re one. And I know that when I awoke within me, I wondered, “How did I get here? Who put me here?” For this is a tomb. This is a sepulcher and only one who… |

Imaginal Acts Become Facts |
So here in time, while we are in time, the play erupts, and then I know exactly who I am. I was taught to believe the whole thing took place 2,000 years ago. Then to discover it isn’t so at all — it has no reference to position in time, and no reference as to duration. It’s a standing order, something to be done absolutely and continuously, and it’s always been done within us. And then we have moved out of the time slot into eternity, enhanced beyond the wildest dream of man by reason of the experience in this world of death. |

Imaginal Acts Become Facts |
Well, I am telling you what I have experienced. I have reached the end. The whole thing is now an accomplished fact within me. He, in the depth of my own being, who revealed himself as myself, has wrought it. The very end of the 22nd Psalm: unborn tomorrow will know that God has wrought it in him. No praise to me as a man called Neville, or what — but the drama unfolded itself completely within me, and I speak from experience when I speak of these characters of scripture. And so I cannot now get down on my knees and bow before anyone named in that book — they’re all eternal states of… |
