Inner Trip Through Macedonia

Neville's Inner Vision

To the inward ear, Paul's outward itinerary becomes a symbol of your own inner journey. When you read that he will pass through Macedonia, you hear the movement of a state of consciousness traveling from one belief to another. The phrase I will pass through signifies a temporary passage through a dominant attitude, a transition from doubt to conviction. The line about abiding and wintering with you translates to lingering in a favorable condition of mind long enough for the inner purpose to take root. The request that they bring him on his journey whithersoever he goes becomes an invitation that your vision may guide every step, not by force but by alignment with your I AM presence. And the clause if the Lord permit is the recognition that permission is not a constraint but a confirmation: your inner state must approve the move for it to express outwardly. Therefore, your reality is not made by external routes but by the inner state you choose to inhabit. Ask yourself now: what state am I dwelling in right this moment? What assumption, revised now, would render these outward movements as natural expressions of inner reality?
