12 lectures. 12 wisdoms. 12 revelations. Welcome to the great unveiling of the Mystery of Christ, courtesy of one of the 20th century's greatest New Thought teachers, Neville Goddard. "It’s all about you, because it’s all about God, and you are God asleep." Neville is well known as one of the most influential teachers of the Law of Assumption (where one assumes the thing desired in order to bring it about in reality), a predecessor to the Law of Attraction. What's not-so well known, is his status as a metaphysical teacher of biblical principles & scripture. Goddard frequently hosted community gatherings where he shared his knowledge of The Holy Bible, The Word, God, and Jesus Christ. Sometimes controversial, and always impactful, Neville pulled no punches in his candid messages with the intention to inspire every woman and man to seek their own self-liberation, and find Christ from within. "Everyone has the same power. Because one has millions does not make him any more a creator than you are." With this collection of teachings, rarely has so much wisdom been rendered this raw and accessible. As one of our greatest modern teachers concerning matters of God, self, and spirituality, Neville reigns as a shining pioneer of manifestation, LOA, and law of assumption. His words have been preserved here, for the deep benefit of all who will receive them. Neville Goddard lectures in this volume: Good Friday The Crucifixion The Bread & the Wine The Mystery Called Christ Who is the Real Messiah? The Only Christianity ...and 7 moreShow book
