Welcome to the reality revolution. I'm your host Brian Scott.

Today we have another new lecture by Neville Gardard, the mystery of forgiveness, delivered on January 13th, 1969.

I always appreciate when Neville talks about forgiveness.

His concept of forgiveness is really revision, his idea of changing the past as the

ultimate center of imagination.

And here he discusses his explanation of forgiveness with biblical terms the mystery of

forgiveness by neville goddard tonight's title is the mystery of forgiveness the glory of christianity is to conquer

by forgiveness we are so apt to attribute our ills and our troubles to outward causes

to our environment, to the conditions that surround us, to things, desirable things, lacking

or undesirable things that are present. Well, all the time the real cause is sin. Now, sin

is simply missing the mark. You have an objective and you haven't realized it.

And after a while, you're frustrated. That is sin. The gospel teaches that all ills, all troubles

can be traced to sin. Now, let us take the story as told in the book of Mark. After John was

arrested, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel

of God and saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand, repent, and believe

in the gospel. Mark 114. Now, this drama takes place in the individual. This is not something on the

outside. It's all on the

inside after John was arrested. So we read the story of John. This is John the Baptist who wore

camel's hair and a leather girdle and did violence to his appetite, living on locusts and wild

honey, believing that he could acquire merit by this violence to his body,

to himself, as millions today really believe, if I can restrain these impulses, and I do this,

that and the other, well then, I'm acquiring merit, and this will get me into the kingdom of heaven.
