Inner Sign of the Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

That ancient scene is not history but a drama of the mind. The altar is the center of belief within you, where you place a picture and call it real. When the man of God proclaims a sign, the words are your inner decree made visible: what you imagine with conviction becomes event. Jeroboams outstretched hand is the impulse of resistance to the new idea; it dries up because it cannot maintain itself against the power of an invoked truth. The altar is rent and the ashes poured out, signaling the collapse of the old pattern once the inner word is received and held as true. The sign comes by the word of the LORD, which in Neville's terms is the I AM speaking through you as present awareness. Therefore, the entire incident shows that your reality is a state of consciousness; when you assent to a desired state and feel it real, the external becomes a reflecting sign of that inner acceptance. Practice fearlessly hold the vision, and you witness the event.
