Innocence and Inner Counsel

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this verse as a reflection of your inner state. The question, Did I then begin to enquire of God for him? reveals a moment when the sense of self refrains from assuming another’s direction and confesses a humble ignorance before the LORD of consciousness. In the Neville mode, God is not a distant king but the I AM within you, the steady awareness that animates every scene. Your claim that you did not begin to inquire for him points to how you imagine your relation to his affairs. If you feel accused or entangled in others’ schemes, know you are merely experiencing your current state of mind projected outward. Change the outer by first revising the inner. Decide now that the entire matter is already settled by your inner counsel and that you have, in truth, sought guidance for him in your present sense of I AM. The old fear of blame dissolves when you assume the posture of the one who asked within and found an answer in that very awareness.
