Inner Deliverance Through Fear

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that fear is not an external peril but a state of consciousness you choose to inhabit. The LORD your God you shall fear is not a God outside you, but the I AM within—awareness that never dies, that imagines and thus creates. To be delivered from enemies is to be delivered from fear-derived pictures by assuming a reality where you already stand in safety. As you dwell in the awareness of God, you become aware that delivering is a movement of your own inner life responding to your assumption. The command to fear becomes a discipline of attention: you cease clinging to the image of danger and anchor your imagination in the feeling of protection, communion, and triumph. Your enemies are the old thoughts and sensations that arise; their power fades as you maintain the conviction that God, the I AM, is the subjective governor of your world. The moment you assume the end—the deliverance—the outer scene must bend to your inner conviction. You walk as one already delivered in the present, and the world rearranges itself to fit that truth.
