    How to Use Hypnotic Rhythm

    Hypnotic rhythm means the repetitive patterns in life which tend to engender fossilized habits of thought and feeling. This can ruin our mental landscape - or we can use it to power our own regeneration. References:Neville Goddard - Your Faith Is Your Fortune (Ch 3)Napoleon Hill - Interview with the Devil

    Bernardo Kastrup - Affinity p.1

    [update: re-edited] I see a certain affinity between the thought of Bernardo Kastrup and that of Neville Goddard. While their two systems have discrepancies, I believe that Bernardo's philosophy of Analytic Idealism can help explain foundational aspects of Neville's worldview. For example, he offers a rigorously argued case that, just as Neville contends, all is mental, not physical.

    Bernardo Kastrup - Affinity p.2

    In the previous post, part 1, we saw that Neville Goddard and Bernardo Kastrup each arrived at the same foundational idea: what we take to be the physical world must actually be mental in nature. In this post we’ll examine how Bernardo’s system lends credence to yet another principle, really, the essential one in Neville’s thought; namely, that we are one with the universal source.

    Bernardo Kastrup - Affinity p.3

    Philosopher/ physicist Dr. Bernardo Kastrup (Analytic Idealism) supports Neville's thought in two main aspects: 1. The universe is all mentation. 2. Individuals are identities dissociated from source -- from God. We discuss benefits of adopting this extraordinary worldview.

    What Is Consciousness? A Journey to Neville Goddard

    To understand the nature of consciousness and how to evoke it is vital to understand Neville. Science, psychology and philosophy will not get you there. Let's get beyond inadequate and outdated concepts, and get to the real practice. Mentioned: Bernardo Kastrup (2021) Decoding Jung's Metaphysics.

    While modern thinkers define consciousness through intellect and attention, Neville aligns with esoteric tradition: consciousness is a direct, living experience that transcends thought itself.
