The Becoming God

A Distinction, I Think, Between Abdullah, Murphy and Goddard, and Napoleon Hill, Stone, etc.

Hill and Stone, et al, spoke well of imagining. And they emphasized our human contribution, the effort we need to put forth to get things done: "Faith without works is dead."

Maybe I am missing something, but didn't Abdullah, Goddard and Murphy imagine as praying and entrust God to do the work? Not that they did not work, but their "work" was their ministry--learning and teaching.

  • "Works" Is Putting "Prayer" (Imagination) To Action.

    You Do Not Just Be A "Hearer"Of The Word,
    And Believe...You Must Put It To The Test For It To Work.

  • Thank you, Ronnie. Point well made and point well taken. My slip, as I misread scripture influenced from seminary point of view. For those not familiar with the distinction, according to standard interpretation, "Faith without works is dead" would mean that you must augment your faith with active, physical involvement; i.e., real physical work to accomplish what you have faith for. You have to believe it is done, and do it because it is do-able, too.

    Ronnie is making the distinction that you must believe it is done -- received complete in faith -- and actively imagine it so, also. The "work" is intensely, vividly, entering and experiencing the desired "end" in your imagination.
