The Power Of Awareness
Now, let us turn to the Gospel. What is said of the central character of the Gospel - the one I refer to as Christ Jesus. It is said of this central figure that "All things were made by Him, and without Him there is nothing made that is made”. All things, not a few things, all things - it includes all. I read my Gospel carefully and I find that from within out is the order of the Universe. In the 7th Chapter of Mark "Not what goes in defileth the man, but what proceeds out of the heart", either for good or for evil. Not just the good comes out, but the evil can come out too. All things come from within out; what goes within cannot defile the man; only the thing that proceeds out of the heart of man can bless him or defile him; that there is some creative power in man that constantly molds the outer world in harmony with itself, and this Creative Power is described for us as Christ Jesus .
Neville asserts that Christ Jesus, the central figure of the Gospel, is the creative power within man, identified as imagination. This power is responsible for making 'all things' and operates 'from within out,' meaning that all external conditions are molded by the inner activity of this creative power (imagination).
