Inner Kingdom in Action

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that Paul's public preaching and the shift to Tyrannus' school are not about places, but about the state of consciousness you inhabit. The three months in the synagogue and the eventual withdrawal when some would not believe are inner tests that invite you to persevere in the conviction of the Kingdom within. The two years of daily disputing symbolize the steady, repetitive act of imagining the truth until it becomes an inner habit and then an outward manifestation. When the text says God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul, hear it as the law of consciousness in action: the miracles you seek are the consequences of a settled inner reality acting through you. As Asia heard the word, so your surrounding world will reflect your inner conviction when you persist in the mental atmosphere you have created. The power is not in outward signs but in the consistent, loving assumption that you are already what you desire; the signs follow because you have become the state that births them.
