In this profound lecture, Neville Goddard explores the divine process of shaping the "unbegotten"—the transformation of man into the image of God. He draws from the Bible, emphasizing that God's purpose is to make man in His likeness, as stated in Genesis: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."
Key Themes:
- The Divine Decision & The Oneness of God
Neville begins by examining the phrase "Let us make man in our image," questioning who "us" refers to. He explains that God is a compound unity—one made up of many—which is revealed in the Shema: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One." This oneness is the foundation of the shaping process. - Neville’s Vision of the Oak Tree and the Serpent
He shares a vivid spiritual experience in which he sees a majestic man under an oak tree, representing divine courage and faith in God's promise. In the tree, he observes a serpent with a human face, embodying wisdom and power. This vision leads him to deeper insights into the biblical role of the serpent—not as a symbol of evil, but as a divine agent in man's transformation. - The Paradox of the Serpent as Both the Fall and the Savior
Neville challenges traditional interpretations, suggesting that the serpent, often linked to man's fall, is actually Christ, the redeemer. He references Romans 11:32: "For God has consigned all men to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all." The so-called fall was divinely orchestrated, ensuring that man would experience the joy of redemption. - The Symbolism of Abraham and Isaac
He discusses God's covenant with Abraham, the change of his name, and the promise of Isaac—a symbol of divine laughter and fulfillment. Isaac represents "the begetting of the unbegotten," the moment when the mortal man is transformed into the divine image. - God Wears Man as a Garment
Neville reiterates his central teaching: God became man so that man may become God. He describes how God "clothes" Himself with human experience, just as we can clothe ourselves with new states of consciousness through imagination. The shaping process occurs as we assume the feeling of being our desired self. - Entering the Eighth Day: The Ogdoad
He introduces the concept of the eighth day (Ogdoad), representing the entrance into the Kingdom of God. This signifies the completion of man's transformation, when he is fully shaped into the divine image and enters eternal life. - Imagination as the Shaping Power
Neville urges his listeners to exercise their divine power by imagining noble concepts of themselves, clothing themselves in success, health, and abundance. He shares a testimony of a man who proved this law by manifesting a desired object and even experiencing divine intervention while at sea. - The Journey to Becoming Christ
He concludes by affirming that every person is moving toward the realization that they are Christ. Through trials and afflictions, man is refined, and when the shaping is complete, he awakens to his true identity—God Himself.
Conclusion:
Neville emphasizes that the shaping of the unbegotten is God's ultimate purpose. The so-called "fall" was God's deliberate plan, and the entire journey of human experience is leading to the moment when man awakens as God. Until then, we are called to live by divine law, consciously shaping ourselves through imagination, faith, and the recognition that we are one with God.

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.
