Diligence to Virtue and Knowledge

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, your advance is not measured by outer signs but by the state you sustain in consciousness. Faith is your starting point—an inner conviction that you already are. To that faith you add virtue: the steady cultivation of integrity, courage, and kindness as the texture of your inner weather. And to virtue you attach knowledge: the discerning inner knowing that recognizes the truth you are fashioning with your life. Peter’s counsel is a manual for consciousness. When you refuse to settle for belief and insist on the felt reality of your highest state, you begin to rearrange the scenes of your life. Each moment you practice the assumption that you are already virtuous and wise, you rewrite the script from limitation to possibility. The inner state you maintain becomes outer experience; your world reflects the inner quality you persist in embodying. Hence diligence is not a struggle against lack but a habit of the mind that aligns with your true I AM. Persist in that completed self-state until it is your present fact.
