Inner Promised Land of Faith

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the Bible whispers that the land is not a map of distance but a state of consciousness granted to the seed of the promise. The patriarchs’ covenant has already been kept in the inner I AM; Moses is shown the land as an inner vision, not a place he is to walk into by crossing a river. The instruction that he shall not go over thither points to the difference between looking at a promise and living from its fulfillment. Imagination is the power by which God’s promise becomes tangible in you; faith means assuming the already completed reality, not chasing it. The outer travel is symbolic; the real crossing occurs the moment you assume, feel it real, and dwell in the end-state. So the “land” you seek is the present fullness of your own consciousness; the land belongs to your seed because consciousness creates form. If you dwell from the end in your awareness, you have crossed over already.
