An Update: On The Frequency and Duration of Neville Goddard Imagining Exercises

Well, it is live and learn. Neville learned the causation by imagination process we call manifestation from Abdullah, a black Ethiopian Jew, in the 1930s. I do not think the terms beta, alpha, theta, and delta were bandied around much as states of consciousness back then. Neville learned to perform the process especially when falling asleep, and to work through the days events backwards as part of the process. It is my understanding that these exercises will lull a person into a theta state of consciousness, where imagination is the principle mode of thinking and communication with the subconscious and God, the Source of our thinking, is at its clearest.

The more practiced one is at getting into the theta state, I am informed, the easier it is to do. Mastering the process of theta-izing the mind would allow one to clearly "hear" the having of what was desired in the proverbial heartbeat, and not have to repeat it over and over and over to some level of reality it has already had.
