Inner Memorial of Prayer and Alms

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that in this scene the 'God' spoken of is the I AM within you—the living awareness that witnesses your thoughts and motives. The memorial spoken of is not a record kept above, but a shifting of your inner state into a remembered truth. When Cornelius looks and trembles, the fear is the old self clinging to separation; your prayers and alms are the inner movements that invite a new level of consciousness. The act of praying or giving is not for a distant deity to notice, but for your higher Self to acknowledge and honor as real. As you repeatedly assume the feeling of your desired state and dwell in it as already yours, that assumption becomes the memory that your life reflects. Imagination then does the work—you imagine the fulfilled state and feel its reality until it floods your being. In that moment, the memorial is set, and reality bends to the inner agreement you’ve accepted about who you are and what you deserve.
