Ignorance to Inner Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Acts 3:17 records ignorance as the ground from which outward acts emerge, and in Neville's sense this ignorance is a state of consciousness, not a verdict on your worth. The brethren and their rulers act as if the I AM were distant or asleep; yet your true self, the one I AM, is always present, aware, and creative. The verse invites you to see that every act stems from inner movements of belief and imagination. When you feel the truth that you are the I AM, that you know now, you dissolve the old limitation as you would dissolve a shadow by turning on light. Your past 'ignorant' actions were simply demonstrations of a misperceived self; revise them by assuming you already know the truth of your divine nature and that your inner rulers are aligned with that truth. By imagining from that identity—seeing with inner sight and living from the end you desire—you rewrite the inner weather and, therefore, the outward scene. The change is not in guilt or punishment, but in awakening to consciousness that makes all things new.
