Inner Strength in Hardship

Neville's Inner Vision

11:27 speaks of weariness, painfulness, watchings, hunger, thirst, fastings, cold and nakedness. Yet in the Neville reading these are not external misfortunes but states of consciousness passing before a mind not yet anchored in I AM. Weariness is the fatigue of a thought you have believed about yourself; hunger and thirst are the insistent appetite of a dream you think you must have to be complete. Cold and nakedness are the exposure of a mind that has forgotten its dwelling place in the warmth of awareness. The inner You—the I AM—does not suffer; it simply perceives. Therefore the work is not to escape the world but to revise the inner condition until the outer world reflects your solidified awareness. When you refuse to identify with the lack and instead imagine yourself already sustained, cherished, and secure, you awaken the state of consciousness that calls those conditions into alignment with your true nature. Endurance grows as you dwell in that assured feeling, and hope for the future becomes the steady light by which you walk through every trial.
