Like all of Neville's writings, this book is superb. All of his work continues to reveal so much to me as I continue to read his stuff over and over again. This book expanded my consciousness on "The Scale Of Being," as he refers to it; here he goes into detail about how most people get stuck on the "what" happened level of things in life, and while others on the "how" things happened, and finally others whose consciousness is broader realize the "why" in the things that happen in their lives and therefore are able to execute their destination in profound and creative ways. This book inspired my poem "Tomorrow Never Happens so I plant for today creating my own harvest in the faith of one day, relinquishing tomorrow's future for another day."
The subtitle says it all: "A Mystical View of the Scriptures

I've read over 100 books in this area of study and Neville's works are at the top of my recommendation as he has impressed me as only a few others have. Seedtime and Harvest opens up with the collosal statement that the Bible is written in the lauguage of symbolism and that all of its characters are personifications of the laws and functions of Mind and that the Bible is psychology rather than history. Neville is attempting to get us to see this work from his, enlightened, perspective.He also gives us a good breakdown of his version of conscious creation with the roles of Producer, Director, Author and Actor.Neville also has a great chapter on Faith and gives some substance to the the search for meaning.There are currently 6 bound Neville books available and I have found 3 on the web that are not. They all have been consistently inspired.

Aldous Huxley was once asked what books he would choose to take with him if he was marooned on a deserted island. Huxley said: "The Manual of Zen Buddhism and a manual on boat building." If I found myself alone on that island, I would need only what I have absorbed from this book. It has been 12 years or more since I first found Seedtime and Harvest. I spent 3 years in a Western spiritual path, have studied Eastern and Western teachings, and so I recognized Truth in this book. Using the simple technique that Neville delineates with great clarity, I have manifested my co-op apartment, jobs which utilized all my training, and some good stuff for other people, too. If you have some understanding of the power of thought and want to change your life, this is absolutely the best gift you can give yourself. I gave my copy away long ago, but if I ever get stuck on that island, I Know that it might take time, but using what I have learned from Neville, I have no doubt, that a plane or fishing boat or Something would show up and take me safely home.
