Inner Quest for Wisdom

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you, the payer of attention, he who says I applied my heart to know is not stacking books but aligning his consciousness. To know, to search, to seek out wisdom, and to know the reason of things is the inner act of turning your attention to the state of awareness where all meanings reside. The wickedness of folly, foolishness and madness, is the stubborn belief that you are ruled by appearances. When you dwell in the I AM, the awareness that you are, you discover that wisdom is not an external possession but a state you occupy. The inner reasoning of things is the logic of your consciousness, the natural order of your life when imagined clearly. The moment you fix your attention on the inner idea, you begin to see events as reflections of your own state and you prune away the madness by ceasing to feed it with fear. This is the discipline of imagination: you are not chasing wisdom; you are becoming it, here and now, by the fidelity of your inner assumption.
