More of More on

Just a couple of thoughts on Neville Goddard's Faint: 

This life we are living is a faint from our last lives, assuming we have lived before. I know we "die one season, and then the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27), but is that necessarily final? It implies God's failure: "Couldn't pull it off, eh?" Something Neville Goddard said caught my attention: "You may go through hell before you'll wake up, but you still are going to be salvaged. You're going to be saved, everyone, because the whole makes the one" (Horowitz, 2022, Neville Goddard's Final Lectures, "Repentance: A Gift From God." page 84). The insinuation is that after an eternity in hell, we get another try at waking up. This is universalism, not an orthodox view, but many have it. It also suggests not to bet on restoration (to a subsequent life right after this one), or that there is no hell.

Second thought is that the faint must be sustained. We walk throughout this life fainted from the past. Israel walked from one side of the sea to the other. Surrender is continuous, as is the trust involved; we walk suspended in the dissolution of the lie that denies that what we desire is. Goodness, I should be famous for that one, but actually Neville says much the same in Faith is Loyalty to Unseen Reality.
