Inner Security of the I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the phrase born of God denotes a state of consciousness, not a moral record. When you know yourself as the I AM, sin loses its grip because you identify with the divine seed within. The wicked one cannot touch you because you live from that inner source, not from outward appearances. The world lying in wickedness represents the external dream of fear and limitation, but it cannot reach the inner believer who rests in God. To 'keepeth himself' is not effortful virtue but a return to the inner fact of being, a steady immersion in the conscious union with God. If you dwell in this inner state, you begin to act from a reality that transcends failed conditions; your imagination operates as the cause, and the world becomes its effect. Your safety is the felt presence of the I AM, which shields you from identification with the old self and harmonizes outer life with the truth of your divine nature.
