Inner Prayer, Outer Love

Neville's Inner Vision

This is not a request for external events but a map of the inner world. Night and day praying exceedingly is the discipline of keeping your mind in the state of the I AM, holding the image of the beloved as already perfected in faith. When you yearn to see their face, you are really asking your own consciousness to behold the state of faith that already exists in them. Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you becomes your inner awareness directing your life toward manifestations you seek. And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you, is the constant revision of your feeling toward others into universal benevolence. The practical effect is that imagination, not distance or time, moves the scene; faith is trust in a real, present God within. By occupying that state, you become the cause of the effects you desire.
