Inner Word of Life Echo

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, this line reveals that the Word of life is not out there but the living I AM within you. The 'beginning' is the timeless awareness that never changes; it is the very ground of your sense of reality. The 'we' who heard, saw, and touched are the inner faculties of consciousness that bear witness to this Word, not mere outsiders peering at a distant object. When you trust that the Word is your own life, you stop seeking life as something outside and begin perceiving it as your awakened state. The hearing, seeing, and handling are not descriptions of outer events but pointers to interior perception: you know life by being it, not by chasing conditions. The Word of life becomes tangible when you imagine from the end—the feeling of already having what you seek—feeling it real, vivid, ongoing. In this way the verse declares your inner sovereignty: you are the witness and the living Word, and the world you observe is its outward expression.
