Inner Acts of Commandment

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville readers: The Acts record is not distant history but your own inner narrative. The former treatise I wrote is the memory of what Jesus began to do and teach, and the phrase invites you to complete it in your own consciousness. The day of the ascent points to your rising into higher states of awareness, where the Holy Ghost—your indwelling inspiration—speaks promises and directions. He has given commandments unto the apostles whom He had chosen: your inner faculties of memory, perception, faith, and action, whom you have declared as chosen. The commandments are not external laws but the felt sense of right action, imagined into being by you. When you assume the state 'I have already done this' and 'I am that apostle,' you align your inner movements with the decree. Obedience and faithfulness become the discipline of sustained feeling and revision until the imaginings are lived. The act of witnessing flows from this inner transformation: your life becomes a testimony to what you have assumed and revised until it is real. In short, Acts is your inner transition from hearing the gospel to living it as you.
