      Introduction

      "The truth – if it truly is true – will not run in fright

      from the slightest sight of questions

      offered by those earnestly seeking to confirm what is true."

      As of this writing, it is the year 2023, and the Holy Bible remains after centuries one of the most hotly-debated texts. Every aspect of its existence, from the authentic author (or authors) of it, to the meaning of its many messages, continue to act as a catalyst of controversy and contention among people across faiths and locations.

      Why hasn't a book that holds such weight and significance for mankind been definitively explained and made plain for the benefit of all? Why is it that a book containing the guidance and instructions from our very creator (to those that believe) has been more often employed in the oppressing of populations, rather than liberating them? It isn't an accident that the so-called most intelligent life-form on Earth struggles the most with just existing.

      It doesn't have to be that way. Instead of causing further division, the Bible's words - when fully understood - can connect people. Confusion and doubt have no place in a room occupied by the truth. In The Hidden Secret of God, a series of lectures given in the mid-20th century by the late Neville Goddard (recognized today as one of the pioneers of the law of assumption concept) will clarify the deeper intent and meaning behind many biblical verses.

      In doing so, lines will be drawn between the literal and the figurative; the physical, and the metaphysical; the allegory, and the actual. As its editor, it is my earnest wish that by the end of this book, you will not only feel closer to the Creator, but to creation as well.

      And just to be perfectly clear: one does not have to consider themselves a Christian to be here. As long as life has existed, there has been that which is true. Truth predates religion, if we're being honest.

      To gain the most from this material, it is advised to approach it with the brilliant simplicity of a child. Children are generally explorative and inquisitive, which affords them a certain natural measure of genius that often dwindles as we progress into adulthood (an unfortunate side effect of the incessant reinforcement of contradictory indoctrination typically embedded in us without repose).

      As you progress through this collection of what may seem to be unorthodox teachings, take care to do so with an open mind that is able to apply practical critical thinking, and willing to challenge mental comfort zones.

      The truth is frequently far more simple than we expect. Receive these words openly, but do not be reluctant to put them through the paces, and under fire. Information gained ought to always be tested for its value. What remains is what you trust; what stays is what you retain.

      The Hidden Secret of God reveals truths that are not held back by some malevolent entity or organization of ill-intent. Rather, it details truths that have been hidden in plain sight, due to man's collective tendency to overlook the obvious…most often as a by-product of blindly adopting untested information from others. I myself have faith in your power as a being bestowed with a conscious, reasoning mind to determine the potential validity of what's offered here, put it through your own critical processes, test, weigh, and finally: discern appropriately.

      In the words of the late Dr. Blair: "There is no truth, until you decide what truth is."

      Many Mansions

      O ur Father's house has many mansions. You may be familiar with the subject from the 14th chapter of the book of John: Let not your hearts be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions. Were it not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And when I go, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am, there you may be also. (John 14:1-3, Moffatt’s translation) Now, who is this one speaking? Scripture tells us it is Jesus Christ. The chapter affirms it.

      Arthur Chamber said: It takes a great imagination to follow Jesus Christ, and I, for one, have been lacking in such imagination. At least, he was big enough to confess it. I have met many, when you begin to discuss Scripture with them, who will always ask one simple question: Have you read the New Testament in Greek? Well, my confession is always: No, I do not, and cannot, read Greek. Then, of course, they have that supercilious attitude: Well, then you haven’t read it in Greek! Isn’t that strange?

      This happened just about three months ago, and I said that is one of the questions that Aldous Huxley asked me. He read it in Greek. I said to him what I said to this gentleman who asked me: Isn’t it peculiar? Aldous read it in Greek from the original. You read it in Greek in the original. (In this century he is really tops. He is gone from this world now.) I said to him: You know, Aldous, you read it in Greek and you read it in English, and yet you don’t understand it.

      So, you ask me: have I read it in Greek? No, I can’t read it in Greek, but I’ve read it in English, and I understand it - understand it because I’ve experienced it, and you haven’t. Well, the last time that question was asked me was three months ago. He was perfectly still after I said to him: You don’t understand it. So, what did his Greek do? So tonight, we will go into this great mystery - for it is a mystery.

      Paul uses the word mystery concerning this story of Christ no less than twenty-odd times. He said: Great is the mystery . . . All through his letters he is speaking of the mystery. It is not history, for history is not a mystery; it is simply a record of the facts. Well, this is not a record of the facts of a secular nature, for the Bible is not secular history. It’s salvation history. So here, what are these mansions spoken of? They are states. All states are eternal, and they exist now. All states exist in the human imagination, and the human imagination is the Lord Jesus Christ. That’s God. There is no other God. And all things exist in him now!

      We have to make the adjustment: think of an infinite number of states - anything you can think of - it exists now. Man passes through states, like a traveler who passes through places, through cities. Well, the man who is passing through a state, like the traveler who is passing through a place, may suppose that the place that he has passed through exists no more, as a man passing through a state thinks the state through which he has passed exists no more.

      Wouldn’t it be silly when I leave this city to feel that because I have departed, that the city has ceased to exist? They remain for anyone to enter, and when they are in it, it seems to be the only reality and everything else in the world seems a mere shadow. When you enter into a city or a state, that state seems to be the only substance. Every state in the world exists now.

      Now, the first creative act recorded in Scripture is in the second verse of the 1st chapter of Genesis: …and the Spirit of God moved… Whatever takes place is that movement within God. And God is our own wonderful, human imagination. So whatever takes place is simply movement within God. How does He now move? That’s the secret: how to go into these states and make them real, make them alive in our world. It’s a very simple process - very simple - but you and I have to act to do it. It won’t do it itself; we have to do it.

      When we move into the state and clothe ourselves with the state, the state then takes on an external tone and becomes objective to our sight, as this room is now objective because we’re in it. All these states are just as real as this room once we occupy them. So, in my Father’s house are many mansions, numberless mansions. Were it not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And when I go…I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am, there ye shall be also. (John 14: 2, 3)

      As I stand here, my adjustment is only in my imagination. I don’t walk into the place - I don’t travel into it. I simply adjust it here: close my eyes to the obvious, and then assume that it is here and clothe myself with the reality of the state of my selection. Now, I open my eyes upon this room and this room denies the reality of what I’ve done in my imagination.

      But wait - just wait! I can’t forget it and I can’t rub it out. It will take the place of this. But why don’t I remember it? Every natural effect in this world has a spiritual cause, and not a natural. A natural cause only seems; it is a delusion of the perishing vegetable memory. Man’s memory fades, and when he’s confronted with his own harvest he doesn’t recognize his harvest.

      He denies that at any moment in time did he entertain vividly, with emotion, such things that are happening in his world, because his memory fades and he doesn’t remember. So, he questions the law (if he ever heard of it). He questions: How could this thing happen to me? (Haven’t you heard that time and again?) Or have your heard the statement: Why should it happen to him? He is so nice. He is an altogether wonderful chap. Why should it happen to him?

      Here’s a question, just before I left L.A. Why should these things happen to Dad and to Mother? Certainly you know, above all people, they don’t deserve it. It’s not a matter of deserving. These are states. At one moment in time they entertained this with feeling, with intense feeling, and then these things happen. And they might have passed judgment on one who had a similar condition, and relate the condition to some unlovely thing they know of that person and think God was getting even. Yet, they are ardent churchgoers, members of the church.

      One is on the altar guild; the other is a trustee of the church. He’s a banker by profession. They really devote themselves to the service of the church. Well, what has that to do with one entertaining these emotions with feeling, intense feeling, and then forgetting it, not knowing that the effect (when it takes place - and it is a natural and a real effect) that it is related to a spiritual cause, and the spiritual cause is nothing more than a motion within themselves.

      Within themselves they move, and having moved, they are going to project that state into which they fell, either wisely or unwisely. And when it comes into the world for recognition they don’t recognize their own harvest. But there is no other way that it could come into the world.

      So, The Spirit of God moved… and then the whole vast world began to appear. He moved. Now, motion can be detected only by a change of position relative to another object. If this very moment
