In this lecture, Neville Goddard shares a profound mystical experience that forever changes his understanding of scripture. He describes how, on the morning of July 20, 1959, in San Francisco, he experienced what he now knows to be the true birth of Christ—not as a historical event, but as a personal, spiritual awakening that happens within every individual.

Neville recounts how he felt an intense vibration at the base of his skull, an overwhelming force that seemed to pull him out of his body. As he emerged, he found himself outside of his physical form, observing his own body in bed. In place of his body, his three oldest brothers appeared, bewildered by a new presence in the room. His doctor brother was the first to recognize it: "It’s Neville’s baby." He lifted the child, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and as he held it in his arms, it smiled at him. In that moment, Neville understood that this was the birth of Christ—not in the world, but in him.

This revelation brings him face to face with the true meaning of Isaiah’s prophecy: "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given." The birth of Christ is not something that happened two thousand years ago; it is an unfolding event within the individual. Every person will, in their own time, experience this inner birth. Mary, the virgin mother, is not a single historical figure—Mary is the soul of every man and woman in the world. This birth is not from physical generation but from above, through the Spirit.

Neville explains that until this experience, he had only heard of these truths, but now he has seen them. He references Job 42:5: "I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth Thee." It is one thing to understand scripture intellectually, but another to live it as one’s own experience. He now knows, beyond all doubt, that the stories of the Bible are not historical records but eternal spiritual truths that unfold within every person.

The idea that one must be “born again” is central to this mystery. He recalls Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus, where Nicodemus asks how a man can be born again when he is old. Jesus tells him that unless one is born from above, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. This new birth is not of flesh but of spirit, and it comes unexpectedly, like a thief in the night.

Neville emphasizes that this experience does not come through religious practices, moral virtue, or physical discipline. No amount of prayer, fasting, or effort can bring it about—it happens in its own time. It is not about being “worthy” in the way religion teaches. Even the greatest sinner will experience it, for it is God’s plan for all.

His brothers, representing worldly wisdom, could not comprehend what had happened. They saw only the child but could not see him. This is symbolic of how the world fails to recognize the inner mystery of Christ. The spiritual birth is invisible to those who have not yet experienced it.

This revelation also clarifies the true meaning of fatherhood. The birth of the child proves that he is the father. If he holds the child and knows it is his, then he is the father of Christ. But if Neville is the father of Christ, then who is Neville? The only answer is that he is God the Father. This is the shocking truth hidden within scripture: God became man so that man may awaken as God.

This vision also reaffirms the fundamental teaching Neville has always emphasized: Imagination is God. The entire world, the entire experience of life, is unfolding within the divine imagination of man. The Bible is not an outdated book—it is the eternal story of spiritual awakening, unfolding anew in every generation.

Neville warns that many will dismiss this teaching, just as they dismissed Blake’s vision of a child emerging from a man’s skull. But he now knows, with absolute certainty, that Blake was right. Christ is not something to be worshipped externally but something to be realized within.

At the end of the lecture, Neville urges his audience to prepare—not by seeking external signs, but by living in faith. If one’s faith is based on things seen, then one is not preparing the way. True faith is believing in what the world cannot yet see. The birth of Christ comes only when the individual no longer seeks confirmation in the outer world but trusts the unseen reality within.

Key Takeaways

• The birth of Christ is an inner event, not a historical occurrence. Every individual will experience it in their own time.
• The prophecy "Unto us a child is born" refers to you—you will give birth to Christ within yourself.
• The physical mother, Mary, is a symbol—every person is the virgin through whom Christ is born.
• Christ’s birth is not a reward for moral behavior—it happens regardless of one’s past actions.
• The Bible is not a history book but a spiritual guide to awakening.
• Imagination is God—the creative power within each person is the divine itself.
• This birth comes unexpectedly, like a thief in the night—it cannot be forced through religious rituals or effort.
• The world will not recognize this inner birth, just as Neville’s brothers could not see him, only the child.
• If you experience yourself as the father of Christ, then you are God the Father—the mystery hidden in scripture.
• Faith must be based on the unseen—true preparation for this birth is trusting what the outer senses cannot confirm.

This lecture is one of Neville’s most profound revelations. It is no longer about simply using imagination to manifest desires—this is the ultimate realization of self. It is the moment when man knows he is God.
