The Law and the Promise (Includes Rare Lecture, "Sami's Question."

Neville: This question is not just Sami's question; it is a question we all must answer, as every day all of us are called upon to witness to the truth of God. And when something doesn't seem to happen as we expected and imagined it to be, then we have to find out what has happened and do the right thing to get a better result. The word Satan means doubt. Desiring a certain state, reason may tell you it will be difficult to attain. If you listen to your reason, and doubt your desires, Satan has made himself known to you. And this happens to all of us.

The Law and the Promise Book Excerpt:
The future will not be fundamentally different from the imaginal activities of man; therefore, the individual who can summon at will whatever imaginal activity he pleases and to whom the visions of his imagination are as real as the forms of nature, is master of his fate. The future is the imaginal activity of man in its creative march. Imagining is the creative power not only of the poet, the artist, the actor and orator, but of the scientist, the inventor, the merchant and the artisan. Its abuse in unrestrained unlovely image-making is obvious; but its abuse in undue repression breeds a sterility which robs man of actual wealth of experience. Imagining novel solutions to ever more complex problems is far more noble than to run from problems. Life is the continual solution of a continuously synthetic problem.

Imagining creates events. The world, created out of men's imagining, comprises un-numbered warring beliefs; therefore, there can never be a perfectly stable or static state. Today's events are bound to disturb yesterday's established order. Imaginative men and women invariably unsettle a pre-existing peace of mind.
