What seems impossible to man is possible with God—because God is the imagination within us.Neville illustrates this truth through a compelling story about a woman burdened for 25 years by her elderly father, who lived in her home without contributing to the household. She longed for freedom but feared that manifesting her desire might result in his death, leaving her with guilt. Her son, a student of Neville’s teachings, applied the principle of imaginal acts by assuming his mother’s joy in a new, unburdened life.

What appears as chance, fate, or opposition is actually the result of unseen assumptions.You do not need to manipulate physical reality. Trust the unseen forces at work—imagination has its own means of fulfillment.Forgiveness comes through understanding. Those who seem to oppose you are often playing a necessary role in bringing about your manifestation.The ‘dweller on the threshold’ must be faced.
