(please read replied comment for justifications) Neville is a mastermind, and you will notice this from his works. This can be characteristic of INTJ, as his insights and methods are synergetic. Mainly, he teaches this to others through his lectures and writings, considering he tested and knows his methods work. Perhaps an INTJ might see that Everyone Is You Pushed Out, that everyone is a projection of what one assumes of them. The principle he teaches is heavily influenced by the scriptures of Christ. He teaches manifestation on the Law of Assumption with the importance of I AM, that you are GOD, the universe, or the creator and realize this when the imagination of that desired comes into fruition. The insights he discovers from his manifestation based on EIYPO (everyone is you pushed out) and efficient methods support the functions of Ni+Te. To assume his principles are proven effective explains how powerful Ni+Te can be. The reason for Fi over Fe is because his principle practices feeling of the wish fulfilled (different from LoA on positivity) and staying persistent on that feeling. Manifestation all comes from within, this is attuning to the inner world and is all about you. If Se is the reality or the 3D that is the conscious thought, then Ni is the 4D or subconscious mind that projects our assumptions to the 3D. I think it would make sense for Se to be an inferior function because he has a strong intuition that makes him aware of reality, thus allowing him to create the ideal using his imagination. side note; I feel like more intuitive types may gravitate towards the Law, and especially XNFPs can easily grasp this using their imagination. A key factor in this practice is believing and focusing on the inner world than reality. The practice can effectively develop Te for INFPs and perhaps bring their dreams to reality effortlessly. Also, many who do not find the Law of Attraction to work, tend to discover Neville's works and resonate with it.
Biography
Neville Lancelot Goddard (February 19, 1905 – October 1, 1972), generally known as Neville, was a Barbadian New Thought author who wrote on the Bible, mysticism, and self-help. Goddard was born in Barbados on February 19, 1905, to Joseph Nathaniel and Wilhelmina Goddard. He immigrated to New York City c. 1922, where he initially worked as a ballet and ballroom dancer. In 1931, he began to study under an Ethiopian rabbi, named Abdullah who introduced him to Kabbalah. He was not naturalized until around the time of World War II, when he served in the United States Army. Goddard viewed the Bible as a parable of the human psyche as opposed to a record of historical events. Therefore, Goddard did not believe in an external God who answers prayers, but rather that "you are the creator". As of his death in 1972 in West Hollywood, Goddard had been a resident of Los Angeles for roughly 20 years.
