Interesting Things to Think About #8: Mizpah Means Keep Your Nose Clean

All the Characters in Genesis are psychological facets of one person: Moses. 'Moses' is the germ of the Gospel in you or I. So they are us. Abram was doing pretty well. With Laughter (joy and confidence of faith in assumption) he became the Merciful Father. He sent his inner man (Jacob) to be made white (Laban)--right. Jacob shepherded sacrificial thoughts (goats) to win Laban's daughters. He learned to look at (imagine) things which then became. Returning to the flesh, he took along some unclean baggage (idols). Laban stopped and warned him: Mizpah while you are away from me. 'Mizpah' is that like a watchman on a tall watchtower, God sees what you are doing. So keep your nose clean.

  • Hi Dan,

    I've been following your blog since I had my awakening with Neville in June 2018.

    I've found myself in a rut and wondered if you had experience or advice.

    Essentially, I came to this awakening through being disappointed that a man I thought I was in love was absolutely NOT good for me. In not being able to accept that, I went to LOA stuff to try to "manifest" him back and as a good fit for me. I found Neville, and in sheer desperation, put in so much effort imagining that I suddenly imagined myself into the realization I was God. Neville talks about this, in that our desire for power is often the first step. Since then I can imagine so many things that happen, and they happen almost instantaneously - like, find my hat - I imagine holding my hat. "ladder experiment" type stuff. I KNOW it's true. But I feel sabotaged when it comes to imagining and assuming things like happiness, being wanted, confidence, wealth, etc. It's like demons try to shut me down and I see saw from happy to sad.

    And after that initial Power I discovered, I crashed - perhaps into the lesson of Love? I realized no matter how powerful I was, it wasn't about changing this person but going into the state itself and letting God develop in Me.

    However, ever since this disappointment and turnaround, when I start to imagine and assume the state I want so much (of being happily married to my helpmeet, being wanted, confident, etc - definitely have dealt with depression powerlessness and low self worth as a young woman) I find I lose my motivation and my focus. I feel zapped of energy and still in want, still focused on specific men, and when I try to put myself into the state of the end without specific individuals, it's shaky at best.

    Today, I'm sad and depressed about another love disappointment. I know I'm being taught and shaped and tested for The Promise - and I'm in A LOT better of a place than I was since before June, maybe then I EVER was - but I really feel I'm passing through "hell" like Neville says, that my imagining skills are awful, and it's all just tiring.

    How can I get my energy and focus back? It's so much easier for me to imagine love with these specific people, for example, because I am so attached to their form and think "if only they shift and change to fit what I need" - but I don't think that's right. Are there any stories of difficulty and hopelessness in the bible you can help and relate to Truth as expressed by Neville? Any guidance on how to manage heartbreak and emotions?

    I know I just need to keep doing it and get back on the horse. But :( . It feels hard and lonely and I'm tired of NOT having what I want.
