Neville says, 'Imagination is the gateway of reality'. As one reads this book, which one can be finish in one day, this idea of using one's imagination in the basis of reality is constantly honed into the reader. Some may find his repetitive honing in of this concept too repetitive, but for me, this repetition was exactly what I needed to really grasp and truly understand the important concepts that Neville was trying to impart to the reader. Neville clarifies his concepts with actual stories of people manifesting what they imagined. Neville's concepts are steeped in quotes from the Bible, not over done at all, which further illustrate and help the reader to grasp the concepts. 'The abundant life that Christ promised us is ours to experience now, but not until we have the sense of Christ as our imagination can we experience it.'
Neville teaches the reader to use one's imagination, with all of one's senses, to manifest that which they desire in reality. Neville wants us to see it as fulfilled NOW, to act as if it were happening NOW and to abolish all negative thinking to the contrary. One has to let go and know that it will happen and to not wonder how or why. The mind is incredibly powerful, as Ernest Holmes, the founder of Science of Mind teaches: 'Change your thoughts, change your life.' Neville says, 'Man becomes what he imagines'. On both accounts ' so very, very true!
The reviewer, who said that this book is not for Christians, has completely missed the entire thought and basis for this book. This book is for everyone, as one must have the belief that, Spirit, Christ, God, or what ever name you want to use, is at the heart of all we want, imagine and manifest. 'Imagination is Christ in man.' Neville points this out quite clearly and often, so that the reader can grasp this main and very important concept. Neville urges the reader to 'think from the end' ' in other words, to imagine that what you want has come to pass. 'To realize his ideal, man must first change the pattern which his imagination has followed. The way to change the outer world is to make the inner speech and action match the outer speech and action of fulfilled desire.'
I absolutely love this book and have highlighted and underlined most of the book! This is a book that needs to be read more than once and referred to again and again. It works ' it truly works ' but one has to step out of fear, know and have faith that it will happen and know that it comes from God, from Christ, from Spirit, from The One. 'Inner speech mirrors imagination, and imagination is Christ.'
This book is powerful, it is amazing and if followed, one *will* see miracles manifest in one's life. The other books by Neville are just as powerful ' The Power of Awareness, The Law and The Promise and Your Faith is Your Fortune, are my favorites.
This is the kind of book that will become worn and torn, as one constantly refers to it time and time again ' it is a classic to be savored.
