I am reviewing all of Neville Goddard’s literary works here

The spirit and substance of what life means to everyone, and what the use of the imagination means to everyone, is the man I am about to write about and his literary works. I’m talking about Neville Lancelot Goddard, sometimes known simply as Neville. Now yes, this is my first author review article, so I wanted to get it right. And I want him to be an author who in my opinion has never written a bad play. So, first a little information about him: he was born in Barbados in 1903 and died in New York in 1972. Quite a bit of background. Now to the most important thing there is, the great things he wrote. He wrote that the imagination is the true mother, father, family and all of man, which I definitely agree with. And he referred to the Christ within as the personal imagination and power within each individual person.

So now to get into one of my favorite works of his, which is “The Seed and the Promise” with all of its metaphors and visualizations that are profound. Especially the fact that God imagined the existence of the universe throughout time and that, in fact, God and existence are one, which also deeply influenced my work. I mention this powerful idea, because when you think about it consciously, that is the reality of the situation, God and existence are one. Another work of his is the powerful “Resurrection” which speaks of the genuine role of Christ at a very deep level in relation to God and existence, and Mother Mary, and I mention this work after the first because the meaning can be misunderstood in a very deep level if it is not carefully interpreted in a functional way.

But all of his works are powerful and show everyone the meaning of “being renewed by the renewing of the mind” in the New Standard English version of the Bible. When I read Neville, I understand the meaning of that line to mean that the mind can always be renewed by a new use of the imagination, especially in a genuinely creative way, something like Thomas Edison mentioned in this quote some time before he died . : “Ideas come from space, this may be amazing and hard to believe, but ideas come from space.” I mean, Neville Goddard shows the pure meaning of that statement in all of his works.

As a child I listened to a couple of his talks on cassette tapes, he is one of the most magnetic and compelling speakers I have ever wanted to hear. When his voice came through the tape recorder, the tape became more than a cold magnetic tape. It became power. Magnanimous, pure power. Through him, I realized the true symbolism behind “the blood of the lamb” and many other things related to religion that Sunday School could not answer on any level. Sure, understanding comes from strange places and raises strange things, but Neville took you to the greatest place of all, into the symbolism depths of your imagination, leading to a genuine outer understanding of what it all really means. That’s what matters, that’s what counts in this world, where you get thrown into it with nothing and usually not even with your own knowledge. When someone can give you a hand, take it. That’s what Neville is, a helping hand, especially his works that will live on long after him.
