Inner Grace and Communion

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the scripture is not a history but a state of consciousness. 'Grace' is not a future blessing but your present alignment with the I AM, the sense of being kept in a favored, unearned reality. Silvanus represents the faithful inner witness who testifies from within your own awareness; the 'church at Babylon' is the noisy city of appearances in your mind, yet it is elected together with you—your inner dispositions and your higher self in agreement. When Marcus, your inner son, sends greeting, it means the faculties of intuition and affection are in harmony with this truth. The kiss of charity is not a social rite but a sealing of your thoughts with goodwill; peace is not the absence of turmoil but the deep rest of Christ in you—the state in which all things are reconciled in your awareness. You stand in true grace by an act of assumption: You are already this peace inside, and the outward events mirror your inner state.
