Well I'm not familiar with Neville, so I can't speak about his perspective. But I am very familiar with the Abraham teachings, and you are right, in a sense, and wrong in another.

Abraham uses the word "feel" in different contexts. In one, "feel" means to use your imagination to picture what you are trying to manifest. That "feeling" is a thought, or vibrational offering of awareness.

The other context of "feel", is when Abraham talks about our emotional state. Emotions are not creative, but they indicate what your vibrational offering is. They are responses to thought. If you think thoughts that are not in alignment with your desires, you get negative emotion as a signal you are headed in the wrong direction, vibrationally speaking. If you get positive emotion, it means you offering non-contradictory thought in relation to your desires.

For example, in Ask and it is Given, they say,

Your emotions indicate the degree of your alignment with Source. Although you can never achieve such a
complete misalignment with Source that you disconnect from it altogether, the thoughts that you choose
to give your attention to do give you a substantial range in alignment or misalignment with the Non-
Physical Energy that is truly who you are. And so, with time and practice, you will come to know, in every
moment, your degree of alignment with who you really are, for when you are in full allowance of the
Energy of your Source, you thrive, and to the degree that you do not allow this alignment, you do not
thrive.
You are empowered Beings; you are utterly free to create, and when you know that, and are focused
upon things that are in vibrational harmony with that, you feel absolute joy. But when you think thoughts
that are contrary to that truth, you feel the opposite emotions of disempowerment and bondage. And all
emotions fall somewhere within that range, from joy to disempowerment.

Anytime you have any preference whatsoever, your personal Source energy rides that rocket of desire to its ultimate conclusion. It then communicates to you in the form of positive or negative emotion. Your desire has caused your higher self to become that which you desire. When you feel positive emotion it means you are in alignment with that inner guidance.

For example, in Ask and it is Given it says,

We often refer to that Non-Physical part of You as your Inner Being, or your Source. It is not important
what you call that Source of Energy, or Life Force, but it is important that you are consciously aware of
when you are allowing a full connection to it and when you are restricting it in some way—and your
emotions are your constant indicators of your degree of allowing or resisting that connection.

And later they also say,

If you have ever experienced (and we know you have) that which you would consider to be negative
emotion (you may describe it as fear, doubt, frustration, or loneliness—there are many ways that you
describe negative emotion), what you are experiencing in that negative emotion is the thinking of a
thought that does not vibrate at a frequency that is in harmony with where or who your own Inner Being
is.

So you aren't exactly wrong, but there are multiple meanings implied in the material as given.
