Inner Joy Under The Sun

Neville's Inner Vision

All the words 'under the sun' refer to your inner atmosphere. You are not subject to the day, you are the I AM imagining the day into existence. When the scripture says go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart, it is naming the natural result of a concluded state: you have assumed a feeling of plenty and it expresses as outer events. God now accepteth thy works becomes a declaration that your present feeling-state is accepted by consciousness and thus forms the world you walk in. Let thy garments be white and let thy head lack no ointment; this is the call to keep your inner garments pure and your awareness alive with blessing, not through effort but through attention. Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of thy vanity is to partner with life itself, accepting every vanishing illusion as a veil that already lifts when you dwell in the joy of being. The sun is the stage for your imagination—your state of consciousness is the sun that lights the scene. Joy is your natural condition when you realize you are the creator, not the day.
