Inner Meditation, Outer Proof

Neville's Inner Vision

Be still and notice that the 'these things' are not distant commands but your own states of consciousness—the I AM you awaken. To meditate upon them is to attend to the inner patterns you have assumed about life, love, and truth. When you give yourself wholly to a single idea, you are not performing an act; you are becoming the state in which life unfolds. If you imagine yourself as the living proof of a doctrine—steady, calm, and unwavering—your profit appears to all as your outer world rearranges to reflect the inner conviction. The 'doctrine' you heed is your consistent impartation to the self; continue in it and your inner alignment becomes the magnet that draws circumstance to cooperate. In this sense, salvation is not a distant event but a present alignment of consciousness with truth. By staying long enough in the impression that you are the disciplined man or woman, you illuminate others who hear of your steadiness. The verse invites you to see that change begins not with others but with the revision of your inner speech and imagination; the outer world follows.
