Not quite in the way the internet phrase suggests.
Neville gave enormous importance to inner life. He wrote about states, assumptions, attention, habitual inner speech and the conversations we repeatedly conduct within ourselves.
That is very different from saying that every random thought instantly becomes an external event.
A passing thought is not the same thing as a standpoint you keep occupying.
A flash of fear is not the same thing as repeatedly interpreting life from fear.
An intrusive image is not the same thing as a deliberately chosen imaginal act.
And one sentence that crosses your mind is not automatically your governing assumption.
This distinction matters because otherwise a teaching about disciplined imagination can turn into fear of consciousness itself.
Neville's work deserves more precision than that.
You can ask what you habitually accept, rehearse and return to without treating every stray mental event as spiritually dangerous.
There is a difference between taking inner life seriously and becoming frightened of every thought.
