Present Distress, Inner Good

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, 'present distress' is not a condemnation but an invitation to turn inside. I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress: your consciousness declares its alignment with the state it will become. If chaos or weariness attends your days, know that this is the exact sign you have not yet lived from the end. The inner work is to assume the end—the state of peace, sufficiency and confidence—and feel it as your present fact. Do not persuade the world to change; persuade your I AM to reinterpret your inner weather. This moment becomes a stepping-stone toward the life you desire, because you are not the outer condition but the awareness that creates it. By dwelling in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you awaken the inner shift that rearranges outer timing, relationships, and opportunities to match your inner certainty. Sit as the one you intend to be, and trust the silent, intelligent power within.
