On The Unforgivable Sin

I received a comment that fired me up a bit:

Anonymous 1:46 said... (with some slight editing):

This can all be simplified by one sentence Jesus says: "Whatever ye pray for believe ye have received it, and it shall be yours" (Mark 11:24).

What Neville Goddard said is true, and he explains how to reach this state Jesus is talking about. However he is just a man, like you and me, and full of faults.

Whilst he definitely did get some things right, it is not all right. How he can deny the reality of an external creator who created us and this earth? Doesn't make sense. Yes, God is in us, we are told that many times by Jesus and so while He is internal - He is also external and The OG Creator, The One and Only. The law of attraction is true, but it is only half the truth. Yes, you can manifest the desires God gives you, but what is this group going to do about death? About eternal life? So you see, we have this 'manifesting' group which may be able to get all they desire in this earth through the teachings of Jesus, because they ARE made in the image of God...despite not being born again, and God does not retract His gifts. But as for knowing their Creator and life after death, I fear for these people. Do they not fit exactly the description of the unwise virgins? "And what good is it if a man gains all he desires but in the process loses his soul?" (Mark 8:36).

Dear Anon. at 1:46,

I think you are mistaken. Neville never denied there being the external Creator God. What he denied was Its being separate from us. He held that we are artifacts OF It, and our imaginations ARE It. Your imagination IS the external God. It is the idea that we are separate from It--separate from God--which makes no sense. THAT is the great heresy, the abomination, the sin which will never be forgiven, the thing to be overcome. The Pentecostal doctrine of the Oneness of God does not go far enough: WE are included in the One. All Creation is. For all imagined by God is God. He is the "No-thing" all is being made out of.

I recently posted two reviews of Mitch Horowitz book Neville Goddard's Final Lectures.

Neville Goddard's Final Lectures," Edited By Mitch Horowitz: A Review

In the first post I listed Neville's last lectures in their supposed order. Mitch's transcripts of them have dozens if not hundreds of errors, which I know from listening to them in reverse order and following along, comparing the texts to their youtube audios. I have got through the second half of the book, and love it! I ask you to LISTEN to the last three or four lectures carefully, in reverse order. Oh, and the lecture named "Our Real Belief" (Know What You Want). I think that was the first one I listened to, and it changed dramatically my idea of what Neville has been saying all along. LISTEN TO THE AUDIO RECORDINGS CAREFULLY. Mitch's many errors made me go back and forth repeatedly trying to catch exactly what Neville was saying. This made me understand "The Duality Of Man" (Even The Wicked). Neville does not deny the external God; he denies that there are two gods. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR A SECOND, which is what you have if we are separate. From that concept, REPENT!!

And yes to the rest of your concerns.

Some PS ideas:

"God became as I am, that I might become as He is." Is this not the EXTERNAL God becoming the INTERNAL God? He individualizes, He does not divide. It is just that when He individualizes, by amnesia our part becomes stupideded. By generation in this field we are to come up to snuff, to become as He is--which is all His work. Which unfortunately is by the fires of affliction until we are up to snuff.

I am working on a post recognizing that the "fires of affliction" in our experience are also God's "Flames of Glory": His Hand forming us, directing us, generating us, becoming in us...HIM!!

I remember Lois Lane in the Superman movie responding to Superman's "I've got you," with "Who's got you?!" If Neville says, "I am imaging you," "Who is imagining you?!" Answer: the external God. We are ALL the external God. Our imagination is the external God, so really there is neither internal nor external. There is just GOD.
