Inward Trust, Outer Illness

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the body’s disease is not merely a bodily problem but a movement within the mind. Asa’s feet trouble in the thirty-ninth year marks a moment when he turns from the I AM within to the physicians of the world. In Goddardian terms, God is the I AM you are; health flows from the inner conviction that your well-being is already yours. When you fix attention on an external remedy, you introduce separation between yourself and your source, and inner healing is postponed. The remedy is to revise your state: assume you are already healed, feel it as real, and dwell in the presence of the Lord within you. Persist in the new premise until the outer signs align. Asa dies when he remains identified with the old belief; you live when you choose a new consciousness. Your feet follow your inner assurance, and your entire body follows the state you choose to occupy.
