Inner Faith Under Trial

Neville's Inner Vision

In the realm of the I AM, Thessalonica’s believers are states of consciousness—their faith is a settled inner posture, not a fragile emotion. The sending of Timotheus is the inner visitation of a trusted imagination to stabilize your inner weather. The afflictions spoken of are inner movements that would unsettle your sense of self; the “tempter” is the whisper of doubt tempting you to abandon your enduring self. Tribulation is not punishment but a forecast of inner testing to reveal the strength of your inner state. The purpose of Paul’s inquiry into your faith is to confirm that your inner labor—your imaginative activity—has not been wasted and that you persist in an identity that cannot be moved. Your true work is to remain rooted in the I AM, to imagine yourself as already established, and to let that conviction sanctify every sensation and thought. You are the perceiver who can revise and anchor faith, ensuring that your inner labor yields a steadfast, unmoved consciousness.
