Preliminary Response to an Anonymous Inquiry About Neville's Techniques and Selling Your Soul Doing the "Dark Arts"
Thank you for the reply. I'll tell you what is behind my question. It has occurred to me, more than once, that practicing what Neville taught might actually be akin to witchcraft, magick, etc.... things generally perceived as bad/evil. And I'm not willing to sell my soul in order to manifest material gains (which would make life easier and more enjoyable).
That could be the religious fear-mongering I was raised in talking. The thing is, how do we ever really know? Yes I could (put?) Neville's thesis to the test as he challenged and prove that Imagination works to manifest things, but that doesn't prove it's not an evil/forbidden practice...
"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" 2 Corinthians 10:5 (Would be great if you did a post on this verse).
I always come to you with these questions because I know you know the Bible well. And with all that's going on in the world right now with the virus, and the many "conspiracy" theories (which you may not be aware of) regarding "deep state" and "Illuminati" and "the cabal" and "secret societies" and eugenics and NWO etc etc etc, it makes me wonder if manifestation a la Neville is a dark art.
I do tend to doubt his story about a black rabbi from Ethiopia. His teaching to me seems to be a portion of Kabbalah, but he left some of it out. His teaching seems to align with Blavatsky who declared "Lucifer is the only god of this world" and who also inspired Crowley. Bottom line is I don't want to be unknowingly practicing a dark art. It's not worth my soul.
Thank you and I hope you reply further :)

Dear 8:34,
I really appreciate your question, because I have been working on the topic about a week already. Wasn't sure how to address it, what was my focus, etc.. Your question gave me that, so thanks.
During this Covid-19 shutdown I have been watching some of the Law of Attraction teachers (and lots of its wannabes) AND videos from Supreme Yogi. The LOA is so repulsive to me. "Look what I've got! Cars, big house, jewelry, Watches!, yacht, a luxurious life--and I owe it all to my frequency! YOU COULD HAVE ALL THIS, TOO!!" Do I smell a rat here?
I smell bricks. Bricks are self-made stones. I smell enslavement - self-enslavement - the construction of prison cities, like the children of Israel in Egypt. They (LOAers) are serving the god of this world--their own ignorance. The LOA tells us, even demonstrates that God is here. Here. But they don't get it--they've got sparkles in their eyes: "I did it." Not good, Nebuchadnezzar. It's called idolatry.
Philosophically, Neville was more like the Hindu masters. What a contrast they provide. I am not pro Hindu religion, but pro the ancient philosophy of ONE. Okay, LOA works. By what, why, and how is it working? By God. What is of worth to pursue, then, your life of sparkles, or God? LOA demonstrates that God is good, is giving, and that Eil Shaddai is the All-providing Breasts. If He--the Divine Mother--is giving, why are you worried about getting? Make your petition KNOWN (like knowing - assuming - that you have it) before God, delight also in Him, and HE will bring it to pass (Psalm 37). That is not selling your soul, nor is it sorcery; it's called OBEDIENCE: expecting in faith the nature of God, the Kingdom, to be true. Neville beat us over the head with, "Do nothing out of the norm to accomplish it yourself. Trust God!!" THEN HE SAT DOWN, AND PURSUED GOD. Modern religious techniques of trusting YOU -- no. Perceiving God, loving God, and trusting God -- yes.
More coming.

I mean where I asked "how would you like it if I said Im a proponent of the ancient philosophy of Christianity not of the religion" and you actually gave a good response.
