Refusing The Gift: I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene the act of refusing a reward is not a denial of abundance but a radical alignment of consciousness. Elisha proclaims, 'As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none,' anchoring himself in the I AM—the unchanging awareness that supplies all. To accept the gift would imply a separate source, a split identity, and would disturb the unity of the state in which healing and power already exist. Neville teaches that a true prophet remains in the presence of God, wherein every appearance of lack or wealth is but a movement of the mind. The gift’s lure tests the integrity of consciousness; the refusal preserves the purity of the inner state and keeps the door open for manifestation to arise from within, not from without. Your life will mirror this whenever you insist that you already possess what you seek, and that the outer reward cannot alter the state you inhabit in God.
