Foundation Of Inner Work

Neville's Inner Vision

On this inner plane the foundation is your I AM—the steady awareness you cannot lose. The materials you lay upon it are your thoughts, beliefs, and projects. Gold, silver, and precious stones symbolize states of consciousness grounded in faith, love, and truth; wood, hay, and stubble denote fear, habit, and self-imposed lack. The day of testing is the fire of consciousness that reveals the quality of what you have built. If your work endures the fire, you are rewarded with greater peace, clarity, and tangible fruit; if it is burned, you suffer loss in that form, yet you are saved by the very fire that tested you. The secret is to live from the assumption of the I AM, and to revise instantly: when a doubtful thought arises, see it melt into gold and stand firm in the truth that you are awareness itself. Let the fire refine your structures rather than destroy you, so that all you have built emerges shining with enduring light and the evident blessing of being.
