Time's Echo Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Time, in this reading, is not external chronology but the turn of consciousness. 'That which hath been is now' means the memories, beliefs, and standpoints you have carried populate your current feeling and circumstance. 'And that which is to be hath already been' suggests that the state you seek exists as a latent possibility within your present I AM, waiting for your recognition to give it form. 'God requireth that which is past' is not judgment by a tyrant, but the law of inner accountability: your present conditions arise from the energy you have fed with memory and belief. When you revise from within—assume the end, cultivate the feeling of the wish fulfilled, and dwell in the state that would be true if the goal were already achieved—you close the loop of old conditioning and allow the new cause to complete itself in time. Your imagination is the only true act of power; by choosing the inner state, you rewrite the outer phase of life.
