----------------------
In this lecture, Neville Goddard explores the mystical meaning behind the passage from 1 John 5:6: “This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood.” He explains that this passage symbolizes the mystery of birth, incarnation, death, and resurrection—not as an event from 2,000 years ago, but as an internal process within man.
The water represents psychological truth—the knowledge of the creative power within man. The blood represents the application of that truth—the active embodiment of desire into reality. Neville emphasizes that knowing the truth is not enough; one must apply it through assumption and persistence.
Key Concepts
- The Birth of Christ Within
- Every natural birth is accompanied by the flow of water and blood.
- This symbolizes the process of spiritual rebirth—the transition from passive to active consciousness.
- The birth of Christ is the awakening of the creative power within man.
- Something from Nothing: The Mystery of Manifestation
- Creation is bringing life out of seeming death, something out of nothing.
- The world sees cause and effect in the external, but true causation is internal.
- The assumption of a desired state, though unseen, will externalize as reality.
- Water as Truth, Blood as Application
- Water represents knowledge of the law: imagining creates reality.
- Blood represents the active assumption of the imagined state.
- Only by embodying the assumption can desires be brought into the world.
- The Death of the Old State
- To manifest a new reality, one must die to the old state of mind.
- This means completely abandoning previous beliefs and assumptions.
- The world calls this process irrational, but it is the path to creation.
- Faithful Persistence Brings the Incarnation of Desire
- Imagining vividly and living in the assumption crystallizes it into fact.
- The world will try to trace changes back to visible causes, but all change originates within.
- Every person lives in an infinite world of invisible states—what we dwell in determines our reality.
Key Themes
- The incarnation of Christ is the awakening of man’s imagination as creative power.
- The death of God is complete forgetfulness of his divine nature to become man.
- The resurrection of Christ is man’s realization that he is God in expression.
- Worshiping idols (external gods) is a misunderstanding—God is within.
- Every assumption, if persisted in, will harden into fact.
Practical Application
- Identify your desire clearly and see it vividly in your mind’s eye.
- Assume the feeling of already possessing it.
- Persist in that assumption until it externalizes in reality.
- Do not seek external validation—creation happens within.
- Understand that all transformation requires death—the shedding of old beliefs.

ABOUT NEVILLE GODDARD:
Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was an English writer, speaker and mystic. He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult.
Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century’s most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.
Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.
Neville’s thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.
He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.
