You and Your World Are One

Show Notes

SUMMARY
1. I began this exploration in E02.
2. CS Lewis: life in time and space is a gift -- and therefore it is in some sense a clever artificial arrangement.
3. Continual alternation in life between inward focus/self-growth and outer doing and accomplishment.
4. We don’t want to emphasize, but rather diminish the division between the psyche and the external world (see exercise in E20).
5. Why is this division between internal and external so natural to us?
  a. We can’t accept that the vast complex external world is somehow us.
  b. We can’t accept basic unity with other people.
  c. We can’t accept the negative and evil parts of the world.
6. Strangely enough, these objections can actually be answered as we continue to contemplate the paradoxical idea that the world is ourselves pushed out.

7. Unity with others can be seen as a practical notion; yet in E26 the necessity of individuality is emphasized. 

8. Although evil in the outer world is emanating from us, it is continually a question of what you accept as true.

9. The background static of the mind results from being plugged into the unity of mind (the subconscious).

10. But consciously, the elements of the mind are things to be selected and arranged as we wish. (See E05.)

11. The quality of the ideas you have (E21) will determine what you encounter in the world.

12. Throughout the series of 30 episodes to date, you will find: 

  a. presentation of core ideas that Neville is offfering and an assessment of their value; 

  b. interpretation and explanation of those ideas with references to other thinkers and traditions; 

  c. practical exercises to overcome difficulties and to strive to internalize and live by the precepts of Neville Goddard.

Thank you for your time and attention in listening to Neville On Fire.
