Remembering Salvation Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To Paul, 'saved' is not a ticket earned in time but a state of consciousness realized here and now. The clause 'By which also ye are saved' points to the power of memory—the inner act of holding the truth steady in the mind until it becomes your living atmosphere. When you dwell on the preached message with unwavering attention, you awaken the I AM within you to its own authority; you stop identifying with lack or doubt and begin identifying with the promised life. The danger of 'believed in vain' is mere habit of memory that falters, allowing old pictures to replace the new reality. In Neville's terms, the moment you assume the consciousness that has already received salvation, you set in motion the imaginal act that changes the outer. Your inner awareness, not external facts, determines the state you inhabit. Therefore, salvation is not future salvation from sin but present alignment with truth; memory is the door through which that alignment returns to you, time and again, as your own breathing reality.
