your command.” Tell the Divine or God what you want, and it will
be delivered. But by Neville’s later years, after 1959, he had awakened
to a greater power: that of letting go and letting the Divine operate
throughyou.
The thing is, he couldn’t recall his earlier books like a car manu-
facturer might recall a defective car. I have no idea if they upset him
or not. I’m guessing not. He left them in the world because he felt
“the law” was useful to help people get through the bumps in life. But
I wanted to recall my books. I felt they were misleading people. I told
Dr. Hew Len that I felt like I was doing a disservice to the world.
“Your books are like stepping-stones,” Dr. Hew Len explained.
“People are at various steps along the path.Your books speak to them
where they are.As they use that book to grow, they become ready for
the next book.You don’t need to recall any books at all.They are all
perfect.”
As I thought of my books, of Neville, of Dr. Hew Len, and of all
the readers past, present, and to come, all I could say was, “I’m sorry,
please forgive me, thank you, I love you.”
