In this lecture, Esau, Jacob, Israel, Neville explores the biblical story of Esau and Jacob as a profound allegory of spiritual evolution. He explains that these figures are not historical persons but represent different levels of consciousness that every individual must pass through.

Esau symbolizes the outer man, the physical being dominated by the senses, who believes only in what he can see, touch, and rationalize. Jacob, the inner man, represents the power of imagination, the ability to supplant physical reality by mentally assuming a new state and remaining faithful to it. Over time, through repeated use of this inner power, Jacob is transformed into Israel—a state of divine realization, where man becomes one with God.

This transformation involves an internal struggle. Jacob, initially known as the deceiver, must wrestle with himself and his perceptions of reality until he is renamed Israel, "a man after God’s own heart." This signifies the point at which he has mastered his mind, conquered his fears, and fully aligned with divine consciousness.

Neville emphasizes that this journey is inevitable for everyone. As individuals awaken to their inner power, they overcome the dominance of their physical senses (Esau), learn to deliberately shape their world through imagination (Jacob), and ultimately receive the divine revelation that they are God in human form (Israel).

Key Takeaways for Application:

• Understand the Threefold Path – Recognize the three levels of consciousness within you:
  • Esau (Outer Man) – Believes only in what is perceived by the senses.
  • Jacob (Inner Man) – Uses imagination to reshape reality and manifest desires.
  • Israel (Divine Man) – Transcends all limitations and realizes oneness with God.
• Exercise Your Inner Jacob – Supplant physical reality by assuming the state of your wish fulfilled. Mentally rehearse your desired outcome and persist until it externalizes.
• Remain Faithful to Your Vision – Ignore sensory evidence that contradicts your assumption. The outer world (Esau) will eventually conform to your inner world (Jacob).
• Embrace the Struggle of Transformation – Just as Jacob wrestled with God and was renamed Israel, you must persist through doubts, setbacks, and inner conflicts to reach spiritual awakening.
• Manifest by Living from the End – Begin with the end in mind. Assume the feeling of your wish already being true, and your world will rearrange itself accordingly.
• Realize the Power of Mental Conversations – Speak inwardly as if your desire is already fulfilled. Engage in self-talk from the premise of your success.
• Know That Redemption is Within You – The Esau within (past mistakes, negativity) is not external; it is a state you created. The moment you reclaim your power, negativity dissolves, and energy returns to you.
• Trust in Divine Timing – Israel (spiritual realization) comes not through effort but by revelation. Live faithfully as Jacob, and in due time, you will awaken to your divine nature.

By understanding and applying these principles, you accelerate your journey from limitation (Esau) to mastery (Jacob) and, ultimately, to divine realization (Israel).

ABOUT NEVILLE GODDARD:

Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was an English writer, speaker and mystic. He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. 

Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century’s most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.

Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.

Neville’s thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.

He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.
