Berean Spirit of Verification

Neville's Inner Vision

Acts 17 offers a picture of a noble mind: you hear a suggestion of truth, receive it with openness, and then test it with daily inner inspection. In Neville's terms, the 'word' is a stimulus from your higher I AM, and the Bereans' readiness is the state of your awareness that is eager to know what is true. The daily search is not a search of historical texts, but the disciplined revisiting of your inner scriptures, until what you accept harmonizes with your present sense of self. When you persist in this way, belief grows as a natural consequence of inner alignment; you find yourself saying, in feeling if not in words, that this truth is already so. The mention of Greeks and noblewomen simply signals that truth invites all aspects of your life, without exclusion. Your imagination is the synagogue where you test, confirm, and crown truth as your own state of consciousness. In short, act as the Bereans: be open, be vigilant, and let your inner verification lead to belief.
