He came to the United States to study drama at the age of seventeen and whilst touring with his dance company in England he developed an interest in metaphysics  after striking up a conversation with a Scotsman who lent him a series of books on the powers of the mind. On his return he gave up the entertainment industry to devote his full attention to the study of spiritual and mystical matters. After traveling extensively throughout the United States  Neville eventually made his home in Los Angeles where  in the 1950s  he gave a series of talks on television and radio  and for many years lectured regularly to capacity audiences. In the 1960s and early 1970s  he confined most of his lectures to Los Angeles  New York  and San Francisco. In his early lectures and books  Neville dealt solely with what he called The Law  the technique of creating ones physical reality through imagining. It is this portion of his expression that most closely accords with the teachings of the New Thought movement. In 1959 he began to experience what he called The Promise. In the latter part of the 1960s and early 1970s Neville gave more emphasis to The Promise than to The Law. One could use imaginal power to change ones circumstances  he said  but it would be temporary  \"...and will vanish like smoke.\" He went on to explain that The Promise superseded The Law  claiming \"Oh  you can use it The Law to make a fortune  to become known in the world  all these things are done  but  your true purpose here is to fulfill Scripture.\" After subordinating The Law to The Promise  he became as eager to hear accounts by those who had experienced The Promise  and sharing such accounts  as he had earlier of those with The Law.The Power of Awareness attempts to demonstrate how to use our mind to realize our wishes. As such  it is an important part of the larger New Though Movement  in which Neville holds a prominent place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67931709374517,"sku":"ByrdShop_1578989248","price":247.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781578989249.jpg?v=1794216847","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/power-of-awareness-9781578989249","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
