Persecuted Yet Not Forsaken: Inner Endurance

Neville's Inner Vision

Persecution in this verse is not a verdict about your reality but a scene in the drama of your awareness. You are not a thing bent by the wind of circumstance; you are the I AM that holds the image of your life. When you are pressed, remember that the I AM is the inner sanctum beyond the outer 'cast down' appearance. The outer can strike, the body can tremble, but the inner self never yields its divine impression. As you acknowledge this, you stop being a spectator of events and become the artist of the events by the power of imagination. The state of being persecuted or cast down is a temporary mood, not the truth of your being. Your consciousness is larger than any outward assault; it is the presence that sustains you and preserves you from destruction. By recognizing that you are already complete in the I AM, you convert the sensation of attack into a call to deeper remembrance of your real nature. The moment you accept this, you can endure, not by willpower alone, but by dwelling in the truth that you are not forsaken.
