Resting in the Inner Inheritance

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the injunction not as a command to obey outward rules, but as a statement about the state of awareness you inhabit. The passage points to the habit of insisting that your little eye can discern what is true and good, a habit born of lack. When you live by autonomous opinion, you are not yet come to the rest; you are not dwelling in the I AM's certainty. The rest and the inheritance are not places in time or land; they are the cultured quiet of consciousness that yields to God within. The overflow of the kingdom comes when you align every action, thought, and feeling with the awareness that you are the I AM, not the ego that judges by appearances. In practice, revise the sense that you must produce with effort; instead, assume the end—the perfect stillness, abundance, and harmony already given by the divine mind—and let your inner state rearrange your outward experience accordingly.
