Christ In Man
Repent and believe in the gospel... Now, repentance is not to feel remorseful or regretful. I don’t care what you have done; you don’t have to feel remorseful about it. You had to do it because of the state you were in at the time. Repentance is practicing the art of moving into the opposite state... Your sins may be as scarlet, but through repentance they shall be white as snow... I know that since this man heard my message years ago he has been daily practicing revision. Revision is repentance and revision results in repeal. When you revise a memory that is fixed you have repealed it.
Neville redefines repentance not as remorse or regret for past actions, but as a conscious, active process of changing one's state of consciousness. It is synonymous with revision, where one moves into the desired opposite state, thereby 'repealing' or transforming the past and its effects.
Eschatology The Drama Of The End
Repentance is turning around from the belief of a fleshly being called Jesus Christ, to the spirit that is Christ, the pattern man who is trying to awaken in you. Turn around by exercising your right to change your mind. Dare to believe the opposite, in spite of the facts that seem to be screaming at you. This is what I call “revision” and the Bible calls “repentance”. To revise is to repeal and if you have repealed a thing you have changed it.
Neville equates biblical repentance with the technique of 'revision,' which involves radically changing one's mind, daring to believe the opposite of current facts, and thereby repealing and changing one's reality.
