Was Revision Neville's "Secret of Imagining?"
In one lecture Neville said that the nightly practice of revision was excellent practice for anyone who desired to master the imagination. In another lecture he mentions in passing that after he learned causation by imagining from Abdullah, he devoted himself to the routine nightly revision of the day's events.
Perhaps the "secret" of imagining IS imagining. The Ineffable is imagining. Every thing is Its power and intelligence. God is imagining: We, spirit-consciousness, are imagining. Matter is imagining (there is no such thing as dumb matter: physicists have noted that particles learn and do what is expected . . . when they are observed).
Every thing is manifesting from its imagining. This is the cycle of God: imagining revises the present, becomes the present, and revises the present again.
Imagining works as constantly as gravity. Do not forget Abel (the transitoriness of the present), but revise your revisions. "Noah" is the rest that brings us revision, and "Jesus"--salvation--is that revision. "When it works, you have found Him."
The Ineffable is imagining, and we are that imagining. Imagine well. Near the wonder of sleep, imagine that what you wish had happened did. Revise the present memory with the desired as though the desired was what was received during the day. Over and over and over until it is the reality you go to sleep in. Sleep being what you want to be.
Revision should be as constant as gravity. They both work. We have taken to noticing gravity. Causation from imagining is there to be noticed, too. The practice of routine revision will help us notice it better.
Again, every thing is the manifestation of imagining, and imagining is the manifestation of the Ineffable.

I love that I have happily found your blog. Looking forward to reading back posts (and perhaps even leaving comments on long ago posts)and future one's as well. Revise well my friend!

If every night before sleep I am revising THAT day, when will I have time to imagine/create the things I want which have nothing to do with that day? What if Neville's "Mrs. J E" spent every night reworking the minutia of her day as a secretary (or whatever she was) instead of going to sleep telling herself "I really am Mrs. J E"? How much revising should one do? Spend their time on?

You are not going to rework every little detail of every day. What was unsatisfactory or disappointing that you wish had gone the other way? A letter or payment not received? Something bad that happened or was heard? How long it takes to revise your perception of the experience; i.e., to revise YOU, depends upon your ability to enter into the state you desire, which comes with practice. You only have to get to feeling that YOU are in the state of having had the experience you desire. How would you feel if it were true? You feel that and call it a day. When you become practiced at feeling the state you desire, it only takes seconds. The "over and over and over until it takes on all the tones of reality" pertains to initial practice. Neville long insisted on the necessity of falling asleep in the desired state, but in his latter years he said he breathed the state into an orgasmic crescendo (my words) "and it was done." Nevillution has recently posted a youtube video on Neville's breathing technique. Start relatively small and keep a journal of what and when.
