Inner Solace and Joy

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader, the verse invites you to rest in a truth that cannot be fully mastered by thought. The writer names mirth as the best fruit under the sun, a sign that life, rightly lived, is not a drought of meaning but a continual feast when the heart trusts the I AM within. The attempt to pry the outer procession—the 'work of God'—reveals a paradox: the outer event cannot be cataloged by the intellect, for the very act of seeking to lay hold on it is done from the same consciousness that is always, already complete. In Neville’s idiom, God is not a distant sky but your living I AM, the awareness that makes seeing possible. When you fix attention on this inner state—feeling yourself already seated in the joy you seek—the apparent mystery softens; the days of labor give way to a steady abundance that comes from the vibrational agreement between desire and the sense, 'It is done.' The wise man of the page becomes the wise state within, and the unknowable becomes the known in the moment you assume it.
