Mercy Belongs to Your I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

To Daniel’s declaration I answer: mercy and forgiveness are not scarce external favors but the state of your own consciousness. The 'Lord our God' you refer to is the I AM, the living awareness that you are. The word 'mercies' and 'forgivenesses' point to the habitual ease of grace when you rest in the truth that you are always free from judgment by your own awareness. Rebel action—any fear, resentment, or mistake—appears as a temporary movement within mind, not as a decree over your being. When you acknowledge that mercy already resides within, you stop bargaining with the past and begin living from a revised assumption. You do not win God's forgiveness; you awaken to your own God-given capacity to forgive, moment by moment. The practice is a revision of your inner climate: assume you are forgiven, feel the relief, let the past dissolve, and observe how new circumstances align with that forgiving consciousness. Persist in the feeling that mercy is your natural state, and your life will reflect the grace you have claimed.
