Paradise Within: The Inner Ascent

Neville's Inner Vision

That 'man' is not a separate traveler but your own awakening consciousness. When you notice you cannot tell whether you are 'in the body' or not, you are already turned toward paradise—the realm of pure I AM awareness. Paradise is not a place you visit; it is a state of attentional orientation in which the self recognizes itself as God. The 'unspeakable words' you heard are the living meanings of being—truths so intimate they surpass spoken language, demanding only felt realization. In this light, the Kingdom of God appears as your immediate experience, a felt presence that answers every question without argument. The passage invites you to revision: stop defining yourself by lack or limitation and acknowledge that you are always the observer of reality, already dwelling where the All is present. Silence, perception, and love become your mode of consciousness; fear loosens its grip as you awaken to your oneness with the Infinite.
