Dread Not, Trust Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Dread not is a call to shift your entire consciousness, not merely to restrain the body. The 'enemies' are inner movements— memories of separation, thoughts of lack, imagined dangers—yet in the stillness of the I AM they vanish. When you say, 'I am not afraid,' you are not denying reality but returning to the awareness you are the I AM, the consciousness in which all events unfold. The moment you assume you are guided, protected, and attended by divine presence, fear loses power. Your imagination becomes the ladder by which you ascend from fear into peace. Remember: imagination creates reality. By assuming the end—that you are safe now—you align the outer world with the inner state. This is Providence as awake, loving awareness: a posture of mind that does not seek outside approval but remembers its divine origin. The decree 'Dread not' becomes a daily practice: return again and again to the consciousness that already holds you in peace.
