The Inner Congregation

Neville's Inner Vision

Enter the 'congregation' as the inner assembly of your own awareness, the place where God is present as I AM. When the mind believes itself wounded, or assigns illegitimate status to its own life, it acts as a barrier to communion with the Living Presence. In Neville's terms, these prohibitions are not laws outside you but states of consciousness you have accepted. The carnal image of 'wounding' and 'bastard' represents broken self-image, ideas that you are not enough, not valid, not included in the divine order. To enter the congregation, you must revise that inner script: affirm that you belong, that your true self is pure and whole, and that the divine cannot be withheld from you by old conditioned beliefs. The presence of God is always seeking to reveal itself through your current state; by changing your assumption—feeling 'I am in the presence now'—you dissolve the separation. See the boundary as a signpost pointing you back to your own consciousness where the I AM invites you inside.
