Housetop Prayer and Inner Vision

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter's ascent to the rooftop is your ascent of awareness. Hunger here is not for physical food but for a spiritual hunger—an inner longing to know truth. The trance is not a sleep but a shifting of your consciousness, a rending of the old picture of separation. The sheet let down from heaven—knit at the four corners—represents the four corners of your own consciousness bringing forth all that was previously considered unclean or outside your circle. The open heaven is the instant when your I AM awakens to see that Providence is always moving through your inner state; what descends into you is not a palette of animals but a revelation of relation— Jew and Gentile, near and far, all within your own mind. The vision teaches that God’s purpose—your true inner order—calls you to revise your assumptions that keep people, places, or things outside your own domain of worth. In practice, your faith must trust the leading impression now, not a distant sign. The inner vision becomes your outer life as you align with the I AM’s law of unity.
