Neville Goddard - My Critical Responses

I advocate Bible-Reading (for other Faiths, other Scripture), Prayer, and Outreach to Creation (or the macrocosm). All three will help us live responsibly, fruitfully, and at Peace (versus peacefully). But why do I have reservations about Neville Goddard saying that God and Man are one as Jesus was "Son of Man" ?

It is because if

Anything Else

Everyone
Building wealth
Pursuing luxuries
May have long forgotten
Besides lullabies
Little cuddly babies
Cry for mummy and daddy
Besides ambitions and achievements
We need love and sympathy 
Love for the valentines 
Sympathy for the refugees
Besides love and sympathy 
We need an elicitation of responses
For the deficiency and poverty

Two Processions, Two Responses

 

Entered Jerusalem in a triumphant way
Exited Jerusalem, what a painful day!

In the first, Jesus was carried on a donkey
In the second, carrying the cross stumbled He

First time, "Hosanna in the highest" was the song
Next time, "Crucify Him" was the cry of the throng

Before, branches of palm leaves were laid in welcome
After, wooden cross was

4 Mammalian Responses 5 Deferments

When confronted with a panic or fright,
We think - OH NO! FIGHT or FLIGHT!
But we're deficient in counting the signs,
Given such politically charged times.

There are two other responses besides these,
Most commonly... scared people will FREEZE!
But whether you're a neocon or a lib,
The fourth is the safest - just FIB!

Wow! you thought it couldn't get stranger,

Responses

You never ever comeout wholly
You  left without a word
Still I can hear you
As you are always there
You left unresponsive to  questions 
But I  can't  ask them
I miss, can't speak  out
This stillness is so bugging

A Plethora of Responses

Lately been receiving a plethora of responses
Don't understand the reason for an increase in synopses
It's the same old silly me
Sending smiles for free
That nasty bad dude fate, it definitely outfoxes

were the inhabits found themselves
easily angered over the slightest little thing 
which caused a disruption within the lives 
of the individuals who resided within

Ten Responses to the Question, "Are You Mad at Me?"

One. What did you think it meant when 
I didn't answer you the first time you asked?

Two. Are you only sorry if the answer is yes?

Three. The things I feel are not 
Meant to be your punishment,
But I won't apologize for feeling this way-

Four. I'm not

Responses To Reflexive Daydream

But my love had wanted me to close my eyes. She awaited that moment for an eternity with
unrivaled patience. For she was in love with the water and waited only for me to close my
eyes so that her escape could happen without my perception. I was the scapegoat for my
love. What a cruel twist of
