In this lecture, Neville Goddard redefines original sin, explaining that it has nothing to do with sex but rather with missing the mark—failing to recognize or act upon God's eternal truth. The Bible, he asserts, is not a historical book but a divine mystery, where all characters personify eternal states of consciousness. The first state of divine creation is the way of salvation, personified as a child—a symbol of spiritual rebirth. To hear the truth of this way and reject it is the true original sin.
Goddard describes Jesus Christ not as a person but as a series of mystical experiences leading man to union with God. Those who hear the truth but deny it are severely beaten by life, while those who act in ignorance receive mercy. The lecture emphasizes that spiritual awakening comes through belief and personal experience, not religious dogma. Neville urges his audience to practice mercy and transformation by imagining the good for others without their knowledge. The journey to God, he concludes, is not about morality but about awakening through divine realization.
