Hold Fast the Form of Sound Words

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the form of sound words is a fixed pattern your awareness can rest in. When Paul says to hold fast what you have heard of me, he is pointing to an inner imprint, a living pattern you can return to again and again. The phrase 'in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus' is not a decree about outward belief alone; it is the state of consciousness in which that pattern is alive. Faith is the trust that this inner form is your present reality; love is the energy that keeps the pattern vivid, a rhythm of compassion and alignment with the Christ within. To hold fast is to refuse to abandon the form when appearances fluctuate; it is to revise your feeling of self until it matches the form. As you dwell in that inner pattern, you will notice your thoughts, choices, and circumstances begin to mirror it, for imagination is the creative power that makes the form visible. The form is not merely doctrine; it is your real, experiential grammar of being.
