Inner Eyes Open, Attentive Ears

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner economy of your soul, 'mine eyes' and 'mine ears' are your waking consciousness. The 'place' is not a stones-and-bricks temple but the inner sanctuary you enter by quiet faith. When you pray, you are not petitioning an absent God; you are awakening the I AM to attend to the desire you hold in mind. The I AM is always attentive, turning toward the petition you consciously entertain. By aligning your feeling with the truth that you already possess the thing you seek—health, peace, or prosperity—you awaken the internal seeing and hearing that confirm it. The verse is a promise that presence and attention attend your prayer when your inner sanctuary is kept open and reverent. So cultivate the practice of spiritual sight and listening: assume you are already heard; revise any doubt; feel the reality of the answer in your heart now. The Presence does not come to you from without; it rises within your own consciousness, harmonizing your outer experience with its truth.
