Luke 10:22 is studied here as a Biblical passage first: in its immediate King James context, through its recurring metaphysical themes, and through source-grounded readings preserved in Neville Goddard's lectures and books.
All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. many ancient copies add these words at the beginning of verse, and turning to his disciples, he said

Neville’s Reading in Christmas
Neville emphasizes that the true identity of the Father (you) can only be known through the revelation of the Son (David), making this a crucial step in the mystical experience.
"No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."

Neville’s Reading in His Purpose
The true identity of the Father (God) and the Son (David/Humanity) is a profound mystery that can only be known through direct, internal revelation by the Son to the Father, confirming the individual's divine identity.
Now we are told, “No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”

Neville’s Reading in Is Christ Your Imagination
This verse highlights the exclusive, reciprocal knowledge between the Father and the Son, and the Son's power to reveal the Father to others. Neville interprets this as a future mystical experience where the Son reveals the individual's true identity as Jesus Christ the Lord, recognizing them as his Father.
Then we are told in the 10th [chapter] of Luke: “No one knows the son except the father. No one knows the father except the son and anyone to whom the son chooses to reveal him.” There will come that moment in time when the son reveals you, and you will know your name is Jesus Christ the Lord, for the son is going to call you, “My Lord.” He is actually going to call you his father, his Lord, the rock of his salvation, and then you will know who you are.

Neville’s Reading in Predestined Glory
Neville uses this verse to explain that the revelation of the Son within an individual is the revelation of the Father (God) as that individual. The Son (David) reveals the Father's identity to the individual.
Why? Because, “Only the Son knows who the Father is.” So, when Paul speaks of this revelation, he speaks of it in the text that “when it pleased God to reveal His son in me.” When He reveals His son in me, He reveals me as Himself, because “No one knows who the Father is except the Son, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father.”

Neville’s Reading in Secret Of Imagination
The Son (David) is the one who reveals the Father. When David calls you 'Father,' you know your true identity as God, as only the Son can reveal the Father.
“No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is, except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”

Neville’s Reading in The Divine Body
The ultimate purpose of God's work in man is for man to become God the Father, and this is revealed when the Son (Jesus Christ) stands before him and calls him "Father."
No one knows who the son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal it.” (Luke 10:22, RSV)

Practical Reflection
- The spiritual journey culminates in the direct, personal experience of being God the Father, revealed by the Son.
- Realizing that the experience of the Son's revelation within oneself is the ultimate proof and identification of oneself as the Father.
- The Son's appearance is the key to knowing one's true identity as the Father (God), emphasizing the internal nature of divine knowledge.
- The ultimate self-realization of being God the Father comes through a specific mystical experience involving the Son, David.
