In this lecture, Neville Goddard explores the spiritual purification process that every individual undergoes on the path to self-realization and divine awakening. He focuses on the Beatitude:

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8)

This is not a metaphorical statement—it is a literal spiritual experience. To see God is to become God, for man inevitably becomes what he beholds. However, before this vision is granted, a purification must take place.

Neville explains that purification is not something man can achieve on his own. Instead, God initiates and orchestrates the entire process, leading individuals into experiences that will dissolve their illusions, false beliefs, and prejudices. Every obstacle, every hardship, and every struggle in life serves to break down mental walls and unveil the truth.

The Process of Purification

The journey to purity of heart involves the dismantling of deep-seated delusions—the false assumptions that shape one's perception of the world. Neville emphasizes that these beliefs are like buildings that must be torn down. As it is written in Mark 13:2:

“Not one stone will be left standing upon another that will not be thrown down.”

These "buildings" represent false identities, prejudices, and limitations that keep man from recognizing his divine nature. But as each false belief crumbles, God unveils Himself.

Neville references William Blake, who wrote:

"What seems to be, is, to those to whom it seems to be, and is productive of the most dreadful consequences to those to whom it seems to be... but Divine Mercy steps beyond and redeems man in the body of Jesus."

This means that life reflects back to us our own assumptions and beliefs, making them appear real. Yet, through divine grace, we are redeemed from these false perceptions and awakened to truth.

Seeing God and Becoming One with Him

The ultimate purpose of purification is to remove all veils that separate man from his true identity. Neville explains that, at a certain stage of spiritual awakening, God lifts the veil, and man sees Him.

This unveiling is not the end but an ever-expanding revelation. As Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 3:18:

“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into His likeness from one degree of glory to another.”

This transformation is gradual and infinite—as man purifies his heart, he beholds God more clearly, and in doing so, he becomes what he sees.

How to Apply This Understanding

Neville urges his audience to recognize that all life experiences serve a higher purpose:

• Every difficulty is a divine tool for transformation.
• What seems to be real is only a reflection of one’s own assumptions—change the assumption, and reality changes.
• Dare to assume the highest and noblest concept of yourself, for what seems to be, is—to those to whom it seems to be.
• Trust that divine mercy is always at work, leading each person toward awakening, no matter how impossible it may seem.

Final Revelation: Man’s True Destiny

Neville concludes by affirming that everyone will ultimately be redeemed and unveiled as God. The process of life, with all its seeming struggles and contradictions, is actually God’s plan for man’s awakening. The veil will be lifted, and every individual will recognize their divine nature.

This is the great mystery—the journey from illusion to truth, from separation to oneness, from man to 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.
