Inner Fire of Divine Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville’s lens, the fire is not a physical event but the I AM erupting in consciousness. The burnt sacrifice stands for the state you commit to, the imagined reality you presently accept as true. When that inner state holds with unwavering certainty, the wood of habit and the stones of limitation crumble before the heat of awareness, the dust of doubt dissipates, and even water—fear or memory—yields to the flame. The Lord’s fire thus confirms a worship that is not in outward ceremony but in the alignment of your being with divine Presence. The scene teaches that God is present wherever your inner conviction remains intact, because the outer world bends to the inner state you assume and feel real. The miracle is really a change of state: you awaken to the fact that you are not seeking God, but allowing God to be manifest as your immediate experience. If you hold this, separation vanishes and the sacred becomes your continual atmosphere.
