Hear O' Israel | The Neville Goddard Lectures
This episode of The Neville Goddard Lectures Podcast features the lecture summary read by Lynna K. Teer , along with the full original lecture “Hear, O Israel” by Neville Goddard . In “Hear, O Israel,” Neville Goddard explains that the biblical call to hear is an invitation to inner awareness rather than outward obedience. Drawing from the ancient declaration, “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one,” Neville teaches that these words reveal the unity of God and man within consciousness. Neville reminds us that Israel does not refer merely to a nation or a people in the external world. Israel represents the awakened individual who has come to recognize the I AM as God. To hear is to perceive this truth inwardly and accept it as a living reality rather than merely an intellectual belief or religious doctrine. The oneness declared in Scripture reveals that there is only one creative power, and that power is awareness itself. When man recognizes this unity, he no longer attributes the cause of his experiences to external forces, other people, or circumstances. He understands that consciousness is the source from which the conditions of life emerge. Scripture, when interpreted psychologically rather than historically, reveals this divine mystery. The command to hear calls man away from the illusion of separation and toward the recognition that God is not distant from him. God is the awareness of being, the I AM at the center of every individual. In this lecture, Neville clarifies: What the biblical command “Hear, O Israel” truly means Why Israel represents the awakened individual How Scripture reveals the unity of God and man Why awareness is the one creative power How recognizing oneness dissolves the belief in external causes Why inner hearing leads to spiritual awakening and conscious authority Under The Law, man discovers that imagination creates reality through the assumptions he accepts and the states of consciousness he occupies. As he recognizes awareness as the only creative power, he begins to withdraw causation from the external world and deliberately chooses the inner states from which he desires to live. Under The Promise, man awakens to the deeper truth of his identity. He realizes that God is not separate from him and that the I AM within is divine. The declaration that God is one becomes more than a teaching. It becomes a truth personally known and experienced within consciousness. To truly hear is to awaken to oneness. “Hear, O Israel” reveals that the great commandment is a call to inner awakening. When man hears and understands that God is one with him, fear, conflict, and the belief in separation begin to dissolve. Life is then lived from inner authority, faith, and conscious unity rather than from reaction to external appearances.
