God Within: Return to Life

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the heart, the Lord God is the I AM that never dies. The question in Ezekiel is not a moral tribunal from without, but a recognition that the 'wicked' state of mind—doubt, guilt, fixed fear—wishes for burial, not birth. God’s delight, understood as your own inner life, is in transformation, not punishment. When you identify with a consciousness that believes it is doomed, you isolate yourself from the flow of life; but when you acknowledge that this window of thinking can be turned toward a brighter interpretation, the inner atmosphere shifts. The 'return from his ways' becomes an inner revision: you consent to imagine yourself as already living by a higher law, and the old habit loosens its grip. You do not persuade God to accept you; you awaken to your real nature as the I AM, and the living becomes natural again. Mercy is not a concession granted from outside but the recognition of your own creative power. In that recognition, repentance becomes a joyous alignment with life, and the whole being is restored to wholeness.
