Neville’s Source-Grounded Explanation

Sit in a familiar room, close your eyes, and imaginatively perceive what is physically behind you as if it were in front of you, thereby reversing your perspective within the imaginative space.

— Esau And Jacob

While physically in one location, imaginatively project yourself to another location, observe details from that projected viewpoint, then imaginatively return to your physical body. Later, physically go to the projected location and confirm the details observed in imagination.

— Esau And Jacob

To practice bi-location, sit in one room and imaginatively perceive another room as if you are physically present there, seeing details from that perspective. This act of imaginative projection is the "tearing apart" of the inner (Jacob) from the outer (Esau).

Neville’s Words

I sit in a chair facing one wall, and with my eyes closed, I “look” ahead and see not the wall that is in front of me, but the one that is behind me. I see that wall in my mind’s eye and it is now in front of me. Then the room has reversed itself, or I have reversed myself.

— Esau And Jacob

I would sit physically in my living room in New York City and assume that I was actually standing on the street in front of my apartment house, and standing there on the street I would see details on the marquee of the building... And the next time I actually did go out and took Esau, when I reached the street and looked at the marquee I saw on it what I had not noticed the last time I looked at it physically.

— Esau And Jacob

Practice bi-location. This is the tearing apart of Jacob from Esau. Sit in one room of your home and view another room, and see what you would see if you were physically there, and you tear yourself apart.

— Esau And Jacob

Common Misunderstandings

This is not a collection of unrelated “hacks.” The extracted variations describe applications of the same underlying discipline: a change of consciousness precedes a change in experience. The source links preserve the context in which Neville taught each variation.

How to Practice

1. 1. Sit in a familiar room facing a wall.
2. 2. Close your eyes.
3. 3. In your mind's eye, 'look' ahead and see the wall that is physically behind you as if it were in front of you.
4. 4. Experience the room as having reversed itself or yourself as having reversed your position.
5. 1. Sit physically in your current location.
6. 2. In imagination, assume you are standing in a different, specific location (e.g., outside your building).
7. 3. From this imaginative viewpoint, observe details of the environment.
8. 4. Still in imagination, 'walk' back to your physical body and sit down.
9. 5. Later, physically go to the projected location and observe if the details you saw in imagination are now noticeable.
