All the Saints Salute You

Neville's Inner Vision

What you call 'the saints' are not outside beings, but the many states of consciousness that dwell within your I AM. Their salute is not a distant compliment; it is the inner acknowledgment of your unity with every virtuous disposition you have known or wish to know. When you imagine that you are saluted by the whole holy company, you are rehearsing a simple spiritual fact: you are already one with all that you admire. The greeting arises from the assumption that you are in intimate communion with the divine mind that animates all characters in your life. This is not vanity, but a shift in your identification—from a separated self to a field of awareness in which harmony, holiness, and love are present now. In practical terms, the saints' salute is the feeling of being welcomed into your own complete self, as if the entire fraternity of consciousness signs your name with approval. By holding this interior welcome, you awaken the reality you seek outside.
