4. 6. 1971. the Dweller on the Threshold Neville Goddard 6/4/1971 THE DWELLER ON THE THRESHOLD Only that which has no right to live must die, and only that which has no right to exist must be brought to an end. And that hasn’t a thing to do with any child born of woman, or any flower that ever bloomed. It’s something entirely different from what the world would suspect, for you and I have been given the greatest gift in the world. “God became as we are, that we may be as He is.” [Wm. Blake, from “Jerusalem”] In that, we were given complete freedom to misuse the gift of God! And that is His Power. I will share with you this night an experience of mine – it happened years ago – to show you the only thing that had no right to live – the only thing that had no right to exist, and must be brought to an end. Suddenly I found myself confronted with these two creatures: one, the most monstrous thing you could ever conceive, and the other, the most angelic being that you could think of. The one that was the monster – a hairy, monstrous being – I would almost be unfair to the monkey world to call him a gorilla or a baboon, but that is the picture, only he was far more than that. And he spoke gutturally. He looked at this angelic being, and called her “Mother.” It annoyed me, and I began to pommel him, and he gloated. He loved violence. Every blow made him stronger. He was the embodiment of every evil thought and act that I had ever entertained or expressed. I was totally unaware of this creation of my own until that moment in time when I was strong enough to confront it, and I can’t tell anyone the emotion that permeated me when I saw what I had done. I created that that had no right to exist, and it must be brought to an end. I created that which had no right to live, and it must die. Blows could not kill it. It lived on blows; it lived on violence. As I looked at it, an emotion permeated my being that I had never felt prior to that that I remember: one of compassion – infinite compassion, that if it took me Eternity to redeem this, I would do it. I pledged myself – there was no one I could swear to; there was no witness. Something within me pledged itself to redeem this monster if it took me Eternity. It didn’t take me more than a split second! From the moment of the decision when I decided that I would redeem it because it had no right to exist – at that moment the whole thing withered before me. It got smaller and smaller; it only took a matter of seconds really. And that thing that was a monster thing one moment before now completely withered before me, but it was all energy – misspent energy. It returned to me. I have never felt stronger than I did at that moment when all that energy that went to build and create this thing that had no right to exist returned to me, and here I am as powerful as, I’d say the Universe. And this wonderful creature that was the personification of every noble, lovely thought that I ever entertained, either expressed or unexpressed, – she glowed like the sun. She had a right to exist. She was the personification of my use – my wise and loving use – of God’s gift to me; and; this monstrous thing was the personification of my mis-use of the same gift! That is what, one day, you will confront. That is your “dweller on the threshold.” Everyone, at a moment in time, will actually meet him and meet her, and she will live and glow, and he – in a second – will simply wither before your eyes. There was no loss. He had no right to exist. But in our progress from the receipt of the gift of God to the full use of that gift lovingly, we make mistakes. There is no condemnation of the one who made the mistake. In fact, there is no condemnation. That is the only thing that will cease to live. It’s the only thing that has no right to live. So, man – the most horrible creature in the world – he has a right to live. All the Stalins in the world – they have rights to live! All the Hitlers – they have rights to live, and they will live, but one day they will confront the monster of their own creation, and they too will be filled with a compassion to redeem it, not knowing it is only the personification of their own mis-used energy. It will all return to them, and they will swell with power as the result of the return of that energy. Now we are told in Scripture: “No one can say ‘Jesus is Lord’ except by the Holy Spirit” [I Corinthians 12:3]. That goes for everyone that walks the face of the earth: “No one” – you can say it in words and confess with your lips, but you don’t know it until the Holy Spirit reveals it within you. Well now, Who is the Holy Spirit? We turn to the Gospel of John. He said, “It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Truth, cannot come to you. But if I go away, I will send him to you.” (John 16:7) Now remember his words: the Sender and the sent are one. He said, “He who sees me sees Him who sent me.” (John 12:45) “I came out from my Father, and I came into the world.” (John 16:28) I am never alone. The Father who sent me is always with me, but you do not know my Father and you do not know me, for the Sender and the sent are one. So, if I send the Holy Spirit – well then, you are also going to see me. But now, I will now disappear physically – that’s what you are telling them. Not a man, but your concept of Jesus Christ is of a man external to yourself. The day will come that that concept that you now hold of Jesus, so that when you hear the word “Jesus” it conjures in your mind’s eye some presence external to yourself – that must come to an end. It’s an awful moment in the life of one who calls himself a Christian! When you see the story is not secular history – that we have taken personifications for persons, we have taken the vehicle that conveyed the instruction for the instruction itself and the gross first sense for the ultimate sense intended, and when the non-historicity of Scripture is revealed to man, and man accepts that so that the physical, visible concept of Jesus vanishes – he vanishes. What an awful vacuum in your life at that moment! It will continue for a while, but now, because he now vanishes from you as an external being to whom you could turn and pray and now you can’t – now the Spirit of Jesus will rise within you. It is then that the Spirit of Truth comes; and when will he rise? He comes “like a thief in the night” (I Thessalonians 5:2). Suddenly he will rise within you as you, and then you will know who the Lord Jesus is! [See excerpts from “The Quest for the Historical Jesus” by Dr. Albert Schweitzer, added at the end of this transcript.] When the Spirit of Truth unfolds himself within you as you, you will know the mystery of the Lord Jesus, and then you will know that the Lord Jesus is God! You will know from your own inner experience that Jesus is the Lord. And when you read these words: “And then the kingdom of this world will become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ” (Revelation 11:15), you always thought that Jesus and Christ were one and the same. They are, in a sense, but here in the 11th chapter of Revelation – and we are warned over and over: “Add not one word to this book or take one word from it,” with a threat as to what will happen if we do (Revelation 22:18, 19). Yet not one book in the New Testament has been more violated than Revelation. I have books at home concerning the Revelation of the Bible – that is, the book called “Revelation.” What stupid interpretations! Do not change it. It is all vision. Leave it just as it is, and it’s going to unfold within you. So, in the 11th chapter of Revelation: “When the kingdom of this world becomes the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ” – now Christ is the Messiah. I’ll tell you who he is. The Messiah is David. That is the “Lord’s Christ,” for he said, “I am going to the Father. I am leaving the world and going to the Father.” I came out from the Father, and I came into the world. Again I am leaving the world and going to the Father.” (John 18:28) Then he returns to the Father, he is a father, and there must be a son to bear witness to his fatherhood, and that son is David.

  • The Narrative of Lieutenant James Moody
    72 Acadiensis Documents The Narrative of Lieutenant James Moody The Narrative of Lieutenant James Moody was first printed in London in 1783. In consequence of a general incredulity, he issued a second edition, supporting it from letters of senior officers under whom he had served. It is the account of one who was described by General James Robertson, civil governor of New York, as "the best partizan" who served the royal cause during the American Revolution. Lorenzo Sabine in his volume of Loyalist biographies allowed Moody but six inches of space in his first edition of 1847. The second edition of 1864 yielded seven pages. "The very name of Moody',' he admitted "became a terror" to supporters of the Rebellion. This candid and highly literate narra­ tive is the story of a great guerilla fighter who finished his life as a Nova Scotian. Loyalists whose names are remembered in Atlantic history are those who became prominent in colonial politics after 1783. During the actual conflict the fame, or notoriety, of Moody equalled that of any of the future adminis­ trators who sat at our council tables. A recent American work. Turncoats, Traitors and Heroes by John Bakeless (Philadelphia and New York. 1959), acknowledges with grudging admiration that he was the most remarkable indi­ vidual serving either side in the capacities of spy and saboteur. To Washington, who was mortified because he could not hang him, he was "that villain Moody" (John J. Fitzpatrick, The Writings of George Washington, vol. 23, p. 444). It is rather astonishing that, having lived in Nova Scotia for twenty-five years, he enjoys no place in provincial historical writing.

Ribbons of them roll down, slack against the sky. They float in from all compass points, in kettles of a dozen, dropping with the dusk. Scores of Grus canadensis settle on the thawing river. They gather on the island flats, grazing, beating their wings, trumpeting: the advance wave of a mass evacuation. More birds land by the minute, the air red with calls. A neck stretches long; legs drape behind. Wings curl forward, the length of a man. Spread like fingers, primaries tip the bird into the wind’s plane. The blood-red head bows and the wings sweep together, a cloaked priest giving benediction. Tail cups and belly buckles, surprised by the upsurge of ground. Legs kick out, their backward knees flapping like broken landing gear. Another bird plummets and stumbles forward, fighting for a spot in the packed staging ground along those few miles of water still clear and wide enough to pass as safe.

    Marion Leonard Lived: June 9, 1881 - January 9, 1956 Worked as: film actress, producer, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Sarah Delahousse It is well known that Florence Lawrence, the first “Biograph Girl,” was frustrated in her desire to exploit her fame by the company that did not, in those years, advertise their players’ names. Lawrence is thought to have been made the first motion picture star by an ingenious ploy on the part of IMP, the studio that hired her after she left the Biograph Company. But the emphasis on the “first star” eclipses the number of popular female players who vied for stardom and the publicity gambles they took to achieve it. Eileen Bowser has argued that Lawrence was “tied with” the “Vitagraph Girl,” Florence Turner, for the honorific, “first movie star” (1990, 112). In 1909, the year after Lawrence left Biograph, Marion Leonard replaced her as the “Biograph Girl.” At the end of 1911, Leonard would be part of the trend in which favorite players began to find ways to exploit their popularity, but she went further, establishing the first “star company,” according to Karen Mahar (62). Leonard had joined the Biograph Company in 1908 after leaving the Kalem Company, where she had briefly replaced Gene Gauntier as its leading lady. Her Kalem films no longer exist nor are they included in any published filmography, and few sources touch on her pre-Biograph career. Thus it is difficult to assess her total career. However, Marion Leonard was most likely a talented player as indicated by her rapid ascension to the larger and more prominent studio.
