Laying Foundations for Eternal Life

Neville's Inner Vision

Take 1 Timothy 6:19 as a map of your inner life. To lay up a good foundation is to store up a enduring state of consciousness, a reservoir you can draw upon when the time to come arrives. The 'time to come' is not a distant date but the next moment lived from a chosen state. Eternal life, in Neville’s understanding, is the constant awareness of I AM—the life you are when you know you are. Therefore, build this foundation now by assuming the feeling of the state that already possesses it: the certainty, the safety, the gratitude that comes with knowing you are alive in God-consciousness. As you persist in that state, your imagination becomes the architect of your world; your thoughts, feelings, and revised meanings align with the eternal life you intend to experience. This practice dissolves fear and deepens trust, turning salvation into a present certainty rather than a distant hope. Your inner discipline today is the real, living foundation upon which all future events are shaped.
