Inner Purge, Outer Faith

Neville's Inner Vision

In this moment of inner seeing, the groves are not trees but old beliefs that keep you bound to fear. The removal of the groves is a clearing of images that feed separation; the heart prepared to seek God is the living I AM choosing to align with its own Presence. You are not seeking God as out there, but awakening to the fact that God is the I AM within. When you acknowledge there are good things in you, you stop pleading and start assuming. Imagination creates reality; therefore, by mentally removing idols and dwelling in the Presence, you revise your state of consciousness. The verse implies virtue exists already; your work is to clear the clutter and shift attention to the inner God. The process reflects the spiritual psychology Goddard teaches: a change of state leads to a change of life. The outer sign becomes an expression of your inner alignment: the groves removed, the heart set to seek.
