Inner Joy, Ceaseless Prayer

Neville's Inner Vision

Rejoice evermore means I must live from the eternal mood of the I AM, not from fleeting circumstances. Rejoicing is not a reaction to life but an inner posture that I hold regardless of appearances. Pray without ceasing becomes an ongoing conversation with the divine within, a practice of mental attention that treats every moment as communion with the All. In every thing give thanks is recognizing that every experience, no matter how it seems, is the will of God expressing itself through my own consciousness. Christ Jesus, here and now, is the living awareness with which I identify; the 'outer' world shifts when I remember I am the operative power of creation, and not its prisoner. When I assume the feeling of already possessing what I seek, when I revise doubt into gratitude, the outer are changed to match the inner assumption. The will of God is not an external decree but the natural state of my I AM; to live in this, I need only align with it in imagination and feeling.
