The Deep Feeling of Love and Talk About It: Go With the Love If You Are Not Me
rvl posted a comment on An E-mail Exchange I had With a Christian About Neville Goddard, Part II (January 12, 2015) that was so good I want to highlight it for everyone. He or she said,
"Thanks for your efforts to clarify the work of Neville Goddard. You know, it's like when you're deeply in love with someone: the more you talk about it, the more you lose contact with the pure feeling of that love... You wanna do something, shout to the world how much you love her (or him), but in the end it's all about feeling (experiencing), not about words (concepts). I'm the breathing out and the breathing in, the good and the bad, etc. and I will never figure it all out with my mind (thoughts, logic, conceptual idea's) and the reason for that is: I've set it up this way :-)"
To which I say, "Yes, exactly."
Forty years ago I had spiritual experiences that were inexpressible and yet common to many people. Mine were ecstasies related to conversion and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. They were experiences that changed my worldview and purpose in life.
My purpose now is to get everyone to have the experiences. The experiences, though, hinge upon mental concepts -- mental concepts that exist in one's blood (real life). I can talk about humility and repentance and surrender all day, and one could listen all day, but nothing would happen until the person actually entered in to the experience of humility, repentance and surrender in his or her inner attitudes.
Neville's lectures and books are not very old. He had heirs. How is it that the lectures and books are already in the public domain for all these guys to be marketing? (I found everything for free download on the internet.) Neville said day after day, "Try it." Try to have the experience, because when you do, and it works, you will have found Him. Him who is actually you. He has a purpose, the purpose Neville found: for you to become the Highest.
We have that GIVEN to us: to become the Highest. Not just coincidentally, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is given when one arrives at the point (in humility, in repentance, and in surrender) of just ACCEPTING it.
Of course, I speak as a Pentecostal Christian, but the same holds true for anyone who will accept the truth. There is only one God, and He is becoming. And we are that. No, we will never figure it all out in our minds as a way of getting there. We do not have to. I write all my words as a way of shouting, "HEY! HEY! HEY! Look this way!" God's way is a lot simpler. He says, "Come, taste." Taste. Get in close contact with the pure feeling of that love. The experience will do you good.
