Neville's Inner Vision

All those words on the page are not distant commands but inner states. For Neville, faith is the I AM aware of itself; add virtue as the energy of decisive choice, then knowledge as the clear noticing that you already possess what you seek. Temperance follows, the discipline that keeps your inner weather steady; patience comes as unwavering trust in the process; godliness is the felt reality of your divine likeness becoming real in daily life. Then bring in brotherly kindness, a practical compassion that loves in action, and charity, the expansive love that treats every moment as an invitation to bless. When these qualities take root and abound within you, you will not be barren or unfruitful in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, for your outer world will reflect the transformed inner state. So practice their presence now: assume you already possess them, revise lack into abundance, and feel the realness of this inner kingdom as your daily experience.
