The Inner Promise Song

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the scene is not a distant event but a mirror of your inner life. The 'congregation' is the whole of your mind, and Moses is the voice of I AM speaking through your chosen state. The 'words of this song' are the fixed ideas you accept as true about yourself and your world. When it says he spake 'until they were ended,' Neville reads this as the stubbornness of a new state settling into your being—persistence until the old vibrations yield. The service rendered is a covenant loyalty: you pledge to inhabit the state of harmony and victory as if it were already your present. By hearing and repeating the decree, you align feeling with fact; you imagine events bending to the nature of your new decree and you revise any contrary image. The public recital becomes an interior ceremony: you give the I AM your full attention, and your mind fulfills the promise by dwelling in the certainty of the fulfilled covenant. In short, imagination creates reality when your whole self accepts the decree as true now.
