Here is the explanation following an email entitled "Nevillizing a Kindle - How I imagined an amazon kindle on my door step"
Let's look at how this compares to one of the experiences related by another teacher of what she refers to as demonstrating, Florence Scovel Shinn, in her book "The Game of Life and How to Play It":
See the difference? She didn't ask her friend to gift her a rose tree, she did her imagining and then let it go (let God).

Here is how I got a free kindle: I imagined it. Let it go, and within seconds a weird idea showed up. Call Tom. So I called my buddy Tom, left a message telling him I wanted him to give me a kindle. Guess what, he did. Someone gave him one recently – and he didn’t need it. So he sent me his. How cool is that?Now while following up on a hunch or intuition is not a bad thing, I don't think that asking someone for the thing desired is "Nevillizing". That's more like meddling with the accursed "hows".
Let's look at how this compares to one of the experiences related by another teacher of what she refers to as demonstrating, Florence Scovel Shinn, in her book "The Game of Life and How to Play It":
One Easter, having seen many beautiful rose trees in the florists’ windows, I wished I would receive one, and for an instant saw it mentally being carried in the door.
Easter came, and with it a beautiful rose-tree. I thanked my friend the following day, and told her it was just what I had wanted.
She replied, "I didn’t send you a rose-tree, I sent you lilies!"
"The man had mixed the order, and sent me a rose-tree simply because I had started the law in action, and I had to have a rose-tree.
See the difference? She didn't ask her friend to gift her a rose tree, she did her imagining and then let it go (let God).

"“THE QUESTION is often asked, “What should be done between the assumption of the wish fulfilled and its realization?” Nothing. It is a delusion that, other than assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you can do anything to aid the realization of your desire. You think that you can do something, you want to do something; but actually you can do nothing”. -The Power of Awareness, Neville Goddard
If you listen carefully to the lecture where Neville relates what happened you'll notice that he said to his brothers:
"It doesn't really matter, let us go, we have to go down and have lunch anyway. We will go and just see."
"But before I left my hotel room, I simply assumed that I had the tickets for my 2 brothers, I didn't want to go (to see Aïda), so I assumed that I gave them the tickets".
Notice that he didn't assume that he had bought the tickets at the ticket office, but that he gave them to his brothers.
At this stage of his life he was so practiced in using the law that he knew that if the tickets didn't come directly from the ticket office they would come from somewhere else. But the normal place to buy tickets is at the ticket office, so why not go there when you'll be going past it anyway?
What is beautiful in the example of the tickets is that even though his senses (sold out notices everywhere) denied the possibility of buying the tickets, Neville queued up to buy some anyway.
I have revised a telephone conversation with one of my daughters where she had told me about my granddaughter's latest ailments, and how that she was always ill, to one where she told me that my granddaughter was in perfect health (with the tone of voice implying that that is her natural state) and that's what she told me on the following phone call.
What did I do except revise the conversation? Nothing! There was really nothing else I could do.
20/20 has a lot of really good content and insights but go to the source, read (and listen to) Neville and the Bible, and most of all, test it for yourself.
Have a great day.
