Inner Sabbath Manifestation

Neville's Inner Vision

I read the verse as a map of consciousness. The six days of labor are the active thoughts and plans through which you identify with doing, with results, with time. The seventh day—the Sabbath—is the inner acknowledgement that you are the I AM, the awareness in which all things unfold without strain. When you cling to activity, you enforce separation from God and life; when you turn toward the inner Sabbath, you acknowledge that the Life that animates you is not your separate effort but divine action through you. In this light the strangers within thy gates, the servants, the cattle, and all relations represent states of consciousness inside you: you minister to them by healing your own sense of limitation and returning to unity. The command to rest is, therefore, a call to dwell in pure awareness, to stop narrating outcomes and to trust the Mind that knows the end from the beginning. Practice this now by assuming the Sabbath state is already yours and feel the I AM sustain every step you take.
