Watch, Stand, Be Strong Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner life, 'watch ye' becomes the practice of observing your own thoughts and feelings as a conscious witness. 'Stand fast in the faith' translates to maintaining the conviction of your I AM presence, a steadfast sense that you are the unconditioned power behind experience. 'Quit you like men' is a call to mature consciousness, choosing courage over fear and aligning with the inner strength that is your true self. 'Be strong' arises as you abide in that self-possessing awareness, so the outer world moves to reflect your inner state. The verse does not command conflict; it invites you to dwell in the assumption that you already possess the healing, boldness, and steadiness you seek. When you imagine from the end, you experience the world as dream and dreamer in harmony, and your state of consciousness re-forms the scene accordingly. Practice this: assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, watch your thoughts, and revise them until the sense of present reality remains.
