Unified Gifts of the Spirit

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the text, the diversities of gifts, administrations, and operations are not external divisions but the many movements of your own state of consciousness. The 'same Spirit' is the I AM that never changes, while the different gifts are the varied faculties your awareness awakens—wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment, tongues, interpretation. When you understand that 'the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal,' you see that all these powers are present as possibilities within your own inner life. They are not out there to be sought; they are existing movements of consciousness that appear when you allow your inner state to align with the truth that God, the one life, works in all. Your job is not to chase gifts but to rest in the unity of your being and to imagine from the assumption that the Spirit is moving through you now, that you are already complete, that every faculty is available as needed. In this way, the many operations become a single flow of divine activity, expressed as your daily reality through thought, feeling, and action.
