The I Am Appears Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To Moses’ hearers, the covenant nickname of God—the LORD God of their fathers—is not a distant genealogical memory but a living I AM within. The appearance spoken of is an inner recognition: God has already appeared in the consciousness that trusts Him. The signs Moses will show are not mere tricks; they are inner movements in your own mind that awaken belief in others. When you want others to believe in the Presence, you must first believe it yourself. Assume that the I AM is right there in you, the very Presence by which you live, and let that assumption fill your words, your posture, your choices. The statement ‘hath appeared unto thee’ becomes a present feeling: you are the visible manifestation of the Presence to your world. The ancient patriarchy—Abraham, Isaac, Jacob—signifies a chain of fixed states of consciousness; your task is to renew that covenant within you, staying loyal to the awareness that God is intact and active now. When you inhabit that inner truth, your outward circumstances testify that the Presence has appeared through you to others.
