According to Neville we are all Gods. Or we are creators of our own lives. It matters not what other people do or think. Consciousness is the one and only creator of circumstances. Plus we can not be affected by the consciousness of others. We are in total control of our lives at all times.

This may seem hard to believe, but if taken from a spiritual viewpoint it may be possible. On a spiritual level nothing we do can affect another soul or can affect us. We are all independent beings. Yet in this physical reality this does not seem to be the case. Here we are affected by hundreds of things. The government forces us to pay taxes, our bosses tell us what to do, or family members want us to do things we don't necessarily want to do. So if we view things from a purely physical viewpoint only we have very little power.

Yet it seems that if we live from our desired points we will in time get them on a physical level. We manifest our desires instantly via our imaginations at our source; the spiritual level. So we control how we Feel at all times. When we are making a change in our life it usually has to do with wanting to change how we feel. So by living from our desired states as Neville proposes, we can control how we feel at all times and that is very important. It just takes a certain amount of time for our imagined states to affect the lower levels of spirit, like matter. At the source, Consciousness, the changes are made instantaneously.

With this idea in mind I realized a very important point. The difference between self-esteem and God esteem. Or as long as your self-esteem is based on God then nothing you did in the past or anything anyone thinks about you matters. Because God exists only in the present moment. Time is irrelevant from the spiritual planes of reality. You are always God if your attention is there. The moment you focus on fear and lack you are out of the spiritual consciousness. This means you can always be full of love and happiness if you are focused on love and happiness. Or whatever it is you want to experience. Neville says to assume that you already have it.

For years I used to worry about what others thought about me. It's really more important what I think about myself. Not only that but what I think about myself tremendously influences what others think of me. I've done many experiments with this and proved this to principal true over and over again. It was amazing how peoples opinion of me changed when I stopped worrying about what they thought and I simply projected my own reality. According to Neville we are all constantly creating our realities and so what we believe and imagine being true is what we experience in life.

Neville claims that whatever we want simply requires us to take possession of it in our imaginations first. We must live as though we have already achieved our goal and commit to that goal. We all have a built in Genie and most of us were never told how to ask it or that we even had it.

This book also explains that the Bible is the greatest Psychological book ever written. Neville claims that the stories in the bible were not of real people but instead symbolic and meant to teach. This book is definitely not for the orthodox mind. They will rebel at how Neville interprets the bible.

This book totally empowers the individual. He claims that desires are not bad but good, that they are a gift from God. He explains many famous biblical quotes from the viewpoint of spiritual law.

Neville even has a formula for how much time you should wait to manifest your vision. He talks about the pregnancy and birth of ideas. The virgin birth of Christ through Mary was simply a symbolic story of the birth of ideas in man and the ability to create.

"Your Faith is Your Fortune," is another great book by Neville. It clarified many points for me on metaphysical principles of manifestation. There is so much more in the book than I could possibly go over in a review.

I had to order this book because I couldn't find it in the bookstores, or the library. After reading this book, I cannot help but wonder why this guy -"NEVILLE" is not more available! I came across Neville via reading what "other people who bought this book also bought" here on AMAZON. I went on the reviews/ratings and decided to buy the book. I was NOT disappointed! This is a fabulous book!

I have been reading metaphysical type books for a while now, and I have a feeling that a lot of the other, more recent authors of metapysical self-help type books have probably read and studied books by "Neville" before they wrote their books. The thing is, this book has information that I hadn't read anywhere else before.

The title page has a sentence under the title that says:
"Man's faith in God is measured by his confidence in himself" -Well, that struck me as interesting right off the bat.
Neville says that "When man sees the Bible as a great psychological drama with all of its characters and actors as the personified qualities and attributes of his own conciousness, then-and then only- will the Bible reveal to him the light of its symbology." The author reveals what many of the popular stories in the Bible really mean.

As I was reading this, I was thinking about the material that is presented here, and I wondered why I hadn't come across this gem of a book earlier. Then I realized that all things come to us at just the right time. I can see where, depending on one's beliefs, the material here could well be rejected by some who have been conditioned to beleive differently. As far as that goes, I feel that each one of us knows when something rings true for us, as well as when it doesn't. That's the thing you have to look for in any information that comes across your path.... ask yourself if it feels right for you.

This book really made me think about things differently. In a positive way. To me, this book is a treasure!

This book is so meaningful and inspirational to me that I keep it near my bedside always. Neville writes with startling clarity and conviction. There is so much consciousness raising material here it can't be described. I particularly love his teachings on: What Bibles are (12), Assuming the consciousness (136), Only slaves have masters (30), You must dwell ... (42), Nature abhors vacuums (95), and Moving from one state of consciousness to another (44).

I study Neville's material daily and can honestly verify that he is a very outstanding teacher, mystic and Bible scholar. In this volume that is Neville's first and perhaps most mystical book, he explains the meaning of different biblical events.

The book consists of rather short chapters. Each chapter is devoted to a certain biblical theme which Neville takes into discussion. Then he will proceed to explain you the spiritual and psychological truths that the theme includes.

This book is about spiritual awakening and understanding the power of your consciousness... not so much about self-help as self-help is generally understood as get-rich quickly scheme.

If you are looking for get-rich-quick books -- this title is not for you. However, if you seek to understand the deeper meaning of the Bible - this is a book to buy.

If you think you know your Bible, I challenge you to buy this book for your perception is going to change as a result of reading this book.

Very informative.

Wonderfully insightful book as are all of the books I have read by Neville. The world should read it and heed it.

I am studying this form of thinking. I have read & studied the works of Emmit Fox, Ramond C.Baker, Eric Butterworth & many others..over the past 5 years and this book was a new key in the mystery I am trying to unravel! It probably wouldn't have been as profound had I not spent the other time learning what it took to understand the simplicity of this writing. Life always comes down to the individual,understanding ourselves. Thank-you /w

In this little book Neville expounds the same valuable truths as usual - imagine your wish fulfilled and you will obtain your desires. I.e. while in a meditative state visualize your desires and feel the feelings you would feel were your desires actually fulfilled.

He sees the Bible as "a great psychological drama with all of its characters and actions as the personified qualities and attributes of his own consciousness" and amongst other things interprets Jesus' twelve disciples as representing "the twelve qualities of mind which can be controlled and disciplined by man."

If you are not particularly religiously inclined, the frequent references to the Bible may be somewhat offputting. But there is no denying the inherent truth of Neville's message.

Like all of Neville's books and lectures, this book exceeds conventional thought and takes the reader on a splendid ride to the depths of what true faith means.......your consciousness on a soul level is where all lies and to tap into that incredible source is to open all doors to a treasure beyond your own wildest dreams. The reading of this book inspired my poem "The Color Of Faith."

For those of you who are truly seeking spiritual growth, may I recommend this book to you? When the student is ready the teacher will surely appear, and that's how I came across this book seven years ago. I have read this book 8 times, not because I did not get it the first time, but because my spirit prompted me to do so. I wanted to read it until the information became 2nd nature, until I could teach it without effort, until it was swallowed by the subconscious. Initially the content "shocked" my Christian soul, and a few times I thought about just quitting, but I could not, and I'm glad that I persevered, because I found the precious jewels that were hidden therein. St. Matthew 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. In conclusion, I want to say that if you are of the Christian faith, read the book prayerfully and perhaps YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT YOU ARE A MATURE CHRISTIAN before reading.
I highly recommend the book, there will be some 'Shock' but the experience is 'awesome'. This book will skillfully teach you how to visualize with feeling the desires of your heart until they come to past.

I love this book. One of my business partners who I admire referred this book to me to help me work out some problems I was having in my business. Your Faith Is Your Fortune is a book that I will be reading many times during my lifetime.
