Neville's Inner Vision

To the mind that thinks itself separate from God, this verse becomes a practice in inner accreditation. The call to God to bow His ear and open His eyes is not asking for favors from an outside power; it is the soul directing its own awareness to attend to a situation. Sennacherib’s boast is a vibration in the atmosphere of your thought, an appearance that would antagonize the living God within. When you answer with, 'hear me; see me,' you are choosing the practical act of turning your attention from reaction to recognition. You are not debating the facts of the world, you are declaring the consciousness that already stands within. The presence of God is the realization that I AM is always listening and always seeing; holiness is being fully present to that awareness, and letting it govern the field of experience. In that act of alignment, the perceived enemy loses its power, for consciousness has claimed jurisdiction. The verse thus becomes a moment-by-moment reminder: attend to your inner sight and hearing, and the outer scene rearranges itself as a reflection of that inner state.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and recall the verse. Imagine your I AM bowing its ear toward this situation and opening its eye to see the truth of it, then feel the relief of alignment.
