The real world is the unification of both the inner and outer worlds. They must come together in a single, undivided experience. 

Neville Goddard is vastly underrated. His contribution, were it understood and realized, would be as momentous as the Protestant Reformation, but with no violence; rather, a quiet renewal from within the hearts of men and women.

I believe that Neville Goddard has construed Christianity brilliantly, on the basis of psychological and spiritual truth, all the while rejecting institutional nonsense. Can his view of Christianity inform the conduct of life and secular organization?  

Lewis Mumford in 1922 published an analysis of the literature of imagined ideal societies, from Plato to the modern era. Did any of them really give a clear solution to the human condition? We will compare his conclusions to Neville’s view of Christianity, and see the implications for society.Mumford, L. The Story of the Utopias (1922)

While modern thinkers define consciousness through intellect and attention, Neville aligns with esoteric tradition: consciousness is a direct, living experience that transcends thought itself.Best references to explain and give instruction on individual consciousness: (same as listed in previous episode What is Consciousness?-Journey to Neville Goddard)1.
