Inner Beasts, Divine Manifestation

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the verse you hear the whisper of the I AM. The estate of the sons of men is not a distant fate, but your present state of consciousness. God might manifest them means that the life you see—the world of trouble and impulse—emerges from your interior awareness. When you identify with the term beasts, you are naming the automatic reactions, appetites, and habits that roam when attention is asleep. Yet these beasts are not other than your own thoughts becoming visible; they are the materialized forms of your old decisions. The true man is the I AM that notices them; by recognizing that awareness, you begin to reverse the relation: God does not go to them, you awaken within to them. By deciding to inhabit a higher state, you invite that state to form your world. The appearance of beasts becomes the invitation to awaken; the outer is the mirror of inner posture, and the I AM can rewrite the script by feeling it real and acting from that refined consciousness.
