----------------------

In this lecture, Neville Goddard reveals the true meaning of Good Friday and Easter, explaining that these are not historical events but psychological and spiritual experiences that must take place within each individual. He dismantles the traditional interpretation of the crucifixion and resurrection, illustrating that they symbolize the process of inner transformation.

Judas' betrayal, Jesus' response, and his resurrection all represent the journey of spiritual rebirth. The "betrayal" is the moment when one releases old beliefs and embraces a new state of consciousness. The "crucifixion" is fixing oneself in the assumption of being the new self. The "resurrection" is the manifestation of that assumption into physical reality.

Neville teaches that the technique of resurrection is simple: define the solution to a problem, assume it is already true, and persist in that assumption until it externalizes. Easter is not a once-a-year event but a daily opportunity to mentally die to the old self and rise as the new.

Key Takeaways

1. Good Friday and Easter Are Inner Events, Not External History
   • The biblical story is not about a man dying on a cross 2,000 years ago but about the inner transformation of every person.
   • The garden, betrayal, crucifixion, and resurrection all happen in the mind.
   • The death of the old self and the resurrection of a new self is the real Easter.
2. Judas' Betrayal is the Moment You Let Go of Old Beliefs
   • Judas symbolizes the old concept of self that must be abandoned.
   • Jesus' response, "Now that you have found me, let all else go," is a call to release past identities.
   • Judas' suicide represents the complete death of the former state.
3. Jesus Represents the New Assumed State of Being
   • Jesus means "to save." The savior is the new state that rescues you from your present condition.
   • Whatever you desire—health, success, love—is your personal Jesus.
   • Once you assume this new state, hold on to it and let go of all previous beliefs.
4. The Resurrection is Mental, Not Physical
   • The crucifixion is the fixation of an assumption; the resurrection is its realization in the world.
   • If you persist in an assumption, even if false, it will harden into fact.
   • This is the true mystery of Easter: mentally "die" to your current self and rise as your ideal.
5. You Can Resurrect Anyone by Seeing Them Differently
   • If you see someone struggling, mentally assume they have overcome their hardship.
   • "What would be the solution to that individual’s problem? That is their savior."
   • By imagining them as they wish to be, you lift them up as Moses lifted up the serpent.
6. Daily Resurrection is Key – “I Die Daily”
   • Transformation is not a one-time event but a continual process of shedding and renewing.
   • Physical death does not bring change; mental rebirth does.
   • True dying is abandoning an old self-concept and rising as a new one.
7. The Art of Mental Touch – How to Make an Assumption Real
   • To resurrect a new state, you must mentally touch it—feel its reality.
   • Imaginative participation (hearing, seeing, touching in the mind) gives it life.
   • “If I now touch anything, it must become crystallized in my world.”
8. Manifestation is the Process of Crucifixion and Resurrection
   • Identify what you want and assume it is already true.
   • Ignore the senses and live from the new assumption.
   • If you persist, reality will conform to your assumption.
9. Your Imagination Weaves Your Spiritual Garment
   • The wine-colored robe symbolizes the transformation of consciousness.
   • "When I imagine good news for others, I am weaving my robe."
   • This robe allows entry into higher states of being.
10. Easter is the Daily Opportunity to Die and Be Reborn

• “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily.”
• Denying oneself means rejecting the evidence of the senses in favor of a higher truth.
• True Easter is awakening to your divine nature as God.

Final Thought

Neville teaches that Good Friday and Easter are not past events but present opportunities. Each day, you are invited to crucify the old self and resurrect the new through the power of assumption. The real Easter happens within you when you awaken to your true identity as God.
