The First Principle

I tell you: although it is difficult to believe, we are living in a fabulous world of shadows. This past Thursday morning as I was returning to the surface, I saw the finish of the Triple Crown race at Belmont in detail. Now this was Thursday and the race was not to be run until Saturday, but I saw the finish so clearly that if I had a million dollars I would not have hesitated to bet it all on the one I knew to be the winner. In fact I knew the race could not be reversed. It was fixed and finished. Then I asked myself: "What is this world? Is it not a school of educated darkness?" Man thinks that in some strange way he is going to improve this world, but it is a schoolroom and will remain just that. The kingdom of heaven is not interested in improving this world; it is only interested in taking people out of this world by drawing them into itself - which is an entirely different world.

Neville teaches that the physical world is a 'world of shadows' or a 'schoolroom,' where events are predetermined from a higher dimension. It is not meant for improvement but as a place for individuals to learn and be drawn out of it into the 'kingdom of heaven,' which is an entirely different reality.
