Christ Bears Our Sins
Who is this being who bears our sins, our infirmities, and our diseases? Christ! Our wonderful human imagination! When you are in pain, or experiencing deep sorrow, your imagination is doing the suffering. If a friend tells you he is not feeling well, or is in great pain, and you tell him that his imagination - called Christ - is doing the suffering, your friend would not believe you, because he conceives Christ to be someone other than himself. But Christ is the human imagination, and until man discovers this for himself the Bible will make no sense to him whatsoever.

He streams into your surface mind least disguised in the form of creative fancy.

He Is My Resurrection
Scripture urges you to examine yourself, to test yourself and see if Jesus Christ is now in you. And if all things are made by him and without him is not a thing made that is made, who is he? I’ll tell you who he is. He is your own wonderful human imagination. How do I know this to be true? By imagining a state, remaining faithful to it and watching it come to pass in my world. Believing that God makes all things, I made my desired state alive and can now trace its maker back to my imagination. Now I know that Man is all Imagination, and God is Man and exists in us and we in Him. The Eternal Body of Man is the Imagination and that is Jesus, the divine body of which we are His members. I know this because if He makes all things and I imagine, remain faithful to my imaginal state and it happens. I have found him, not as someone divorced from me, but as my own wonderful human imagination.
Neville teaches that Jesus Christ is not an external historical figure but is synonymous with one's own wonderful human imagination. He asserts that since all things are made by Christ, and imagination is the faculty through which individuals create their reality, then imagination is the indwelling Christ, the creative power of God within.
The Creative Use Of Imagination
Christ is defined in scripture as the power of God and the wisdom of n you as your hope of glory. All things are made by this power without it is not anything made that is made, for Christ, who is your own wonderful human imagination, is yourself! Looking with the human eye, you see a world outside and seemingly independent of your perception. But when you view the world through the “I” of imagination, you understand its meaning. Turn within and test yourself and you will discover that you are your own savior.
Christ is not an external figure but the individual's own wonderful human imagination, which is the power and wisdom of God. This inner 'I' of imagination is the true creator and savior, capable of shaping reality when recognized and utilized.
