Neville Lancelot Goddard, simply known as Neville, was born in Barbados, West Indies on Feb. 19, 1905, the fourth child in a family of nine boys and one girl. He came to the United States in 1922 and enjoyed a career in the theatre. His interest in mysticism grew as did his esoteric interpretations of the Bible. He studied with a man named Abdullah for many years, learning Hebrew and delving deeply into the hidden symbolic meaning of the Kabbalah and scripture. Neville began lecturing and travelled throughout the United Sates, making his home In Los Angeles. Just as Seth gave us the immortal words, “You create your own reality,” Neville has told us how with his spectacular phrase, “Imagining creates reality.” What a gift to humankind! He also translates the Bible in a new light, explaining how the stories and parables are psychological dramas representing our consciousness. That all of its characters and actors are personified qualities and attributes of our consciousness. Neville passed on Oct. 1, 1972.
