Acts 12:22 Inner Humility

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's world, the shout 'It is the voice of a god' reveals a state of consciousness craving to be adored as divinity. God is the I AM, the awareness that animates all appearances; therefore to call a man a god is to forget the one Power within. The people represent your own thoughts and feelings that want to idolize a person for security or prestige. When you are praised, you must not identify with the externals; instead you acknowledge that the power you sense is the I AM expressing through you, not your separate ego. This incident is a perfect opportunity to practice humility: revise the scene in your imagination so that the 'voice' is recognized as the I AM at work, and you feel the quiet, humble certainty that all glory belongs to the Source. By maintaining your awareness as the I AM and not the object of fascination, you permit divine expression without personal exaltation. The key is to experience the feeling of humility while knowing the truth that you are the vessel through which God flows.
