Inner Grace, Outer Salvation

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's register, this grace is not outside you but your own awareness—the act of God in you as I AM. Imagine that the grace spoken of is your inner acknowledgment that you are already saved in the only true sense: this moment of awareness. The 'they' saved are simply the various states of mind that appear as resistance; your stability of grace becomes your present experience by assuming that you are now aligned with that saving power. When you assent, 'I am saved by grace,' you activate the inner mechanism through which desire and faith meet. Grace is not earned; it is recognized as your natural condition, the heartbeat of consciousness that accepts and contains all events within its embrace. Your job is to dwell in the feeling that you are already the beneficiary of that grace, letting imagination render the outward scenes consistent with it. In short, salvation arises as you persist in the awareness that the Lord Jesus Christ is the living awareness within you.
