Conscious intervention is required for psychological growth.

First, review of first 15 episodes Season 2. Then explore incremental psychological “deaths” - a healthy practice to move forward. Sedona Method is discussed in more detail than we had covered in S1.

Science tries to define consciousness where it does not exist, and hypnosis while being immersed in it. From new standpoints , we explain the evidence. Related episodes:

The real world is the unification of both the inner and outer worlds. They must come together in a single, undivided experience. 

Neville Goddard is vastly underrated. His contribution, were it understood and realized, would be as momentous as the Protestant Reformation, but with no violence; rather, a quiet renewal from within the hearts of men and women.

I believe that Neville Goddard has construed Christianity brilliantly, on the basis of psychological and spiritual truth, all the while rejecting institutional nonsense. Can his view of Christianity inform the conduct of life and secular organization?   

Lewis Mumford in 1922 published an analysis of the literature of imagined ideal societies, from Plato to the modern era. Did any of them really give a clear solution to the human condition? We will compare his conclusions to Neville’s view of Christianity, and see the implications for society. Mumford, L. The Story of the Utopias (1922)

While modern thinkers define consciousness through intellect and attention, Neville aligns with esoteric tradition: consciousness is a direct, living experience that transcends thought itself.

To understand the nature of consciousness and how to evoke it is vital to understand Neville. Science, psychology and philosophy will not get you there. Let's get beyond inadequate and outdated concepts, and get to the real practice. Mentioned: Bernardo Kastrup (2021) Decoding Jung's Metaphysics.

“And all you behold, though it appears without, it is within, in your imagination..." (~Blake). Neville's worldview is elegant  metaphysics. Neville on Fire blog post with diagram of the mind . Substack post .

Philosopher/ physicist Dr. Bernardo Kastrup (Analytic Idealism) supports Neville's thought in two main aspects: 1. The universe is all mentation. 2. Individuals are identities dissociated from source -- from God. We discuss benefits of adopting this extraordinary worldview. Mentioned: James Perloff (1999) Tornado in a Junkyard - the Relentless Myth of Darwinism

In the previous post, part 1, we saw that Neville Goddard and Bernardo Kastrup each arrived at the same foundational idea: what we take to be the physical world must actually be mental in nature. In this post we’ll examine how Bernardo’s system lends credence to yet another principle, really, the essential one in Neville’s thought; namely, that we are one with the universal source. References: Nev...

[update: re-edited] I see a certain affinity between the thought of Bernardo Kastrup and that of Neville Goddard. While their two systems have discrepancies, I believe that Bernardo's philosophy of Analytic Idealism can help explain foundational aspects of Neville's worldview. For example, he offers a rigorously argued case that, just as Neville contends, all is mental, not physical. Essentia Foun...

Hypnotic rhythm means the repetitive patterns in life which tend to engender fossilized habits of thought and feeling. This can ruin our mental landscape - or we can use it to power our own regeneration. References: Neville Goddard - Your Faith Is Your Fortune (Ch 3) Napoleon Hill - Interview with the Devil

1. Create a record of quality. 2. Overcome self-doubt. 3. Overcome fear of non-expertise. 4. Self-teach through critical questioning. 5. Self-teaching is continual refinement and culling. 6. A record of quality preserves life-changing ideas against life’s onslaught. 7. Real movement in life is not in time, but in quality of state. 8. Discard the fallacies of age. 9. The external world is really mi...

Our understanding of a key idea is limited by our habitual associations to it... 1. I began this exploration in E02 . 2. CS Lewis: life in time and space is a gift -- and therefore it is in some sense a clever artificial arrangement. 3.

A series of points regarding daily practice... 1. “I don’t criticize; I don’t judge; I don’t complain.” Follow this, and save energy to be usefully redirected.  2. Single point of awareness, non-identification, opens a path of escape: you are not “that person”. 3. Apply imagination to reach conscious solution: be self-persuaded as to your nature and identity. 4. You might work better at night. 5....
