Neville’s Reading in Awake O Sleeper 2

This verse reinforces the Law of the Identical Harvest, emphasizing that one cannot escape the consequences of their imaginative acts. God (one's own consciousness) cannot be fooled.

Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” (Galatians 6:7, RSV1)

Neville’s Reading in Believe It In

This verse describes the psychological "Law" of cause and effect, where one's imaginal activity (sowing) determines the harvest (reaping) in their life. It's a principle of "like begets like."

The law is simple: "As you sow, so shall you reap." It is the law of like begets like. As you imagine, so shall your life become.

Neville’s Reading in Christmas

Neville applies the law of sowing and reaping to internal reactions and feelings, stating that one's reactions to external events activate internal states that manifest as future experiences, because 'you and God are one'.

God is not mocked. As you sow a reaction you reap an act, for you and God are one.

Neville’s Reading in God Given Talent

This verse emphasizes the immutable law of cause and effect in imagination. Misusing one's imaginative talent, which is a gift from God, will inevitably lead to negative consequences, regardless of any temporary material rewards.

“Be not deceived. God is not mocked.” “As a man sows, so shall he reap.

Neville’s Reading in Grace Vs Law

“Be not deceived, God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows so shall he reap.” That is this world, this law.

Neville’s Reading in He Is My Resurrection

Neville interprets this verse to mean that all events in life, even seemingly accidental ones, are the direct result of one's imaginal acts or assumptions. We are free to imagine, but we must accept the consequences of what we 'sow' in imagination.

There are no accidents; as a man sows, he reaps. You are free as the wind to imagine anything, but you must be willing to pay the price, for you will reap the results.

Practical Reflection

• Be mindful of what you imagine, as it will inevitably manifest in your experience. Consciously sow only what you wish to reap.
• Be mindful of how you use your imagination, as you will inevitably reap the results of your imaginal acts.
• Consciously choose what you imagine, knowing that your imaginal acts are seeds that will inevitably produce a harvest in your physical reality.
• Man is constantly reaping the harvest of his own imaginal acts. Therefore, one must be conscious and wise in what they imagine, as it will inevitably objectify.
