Inner Hearing Of God's Words

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the prophet is told to receive every word in the heart and hear with the inner ear. In Neville’s terms, the words are not commands from an external power but the state of consciousness you choose to entertain. To 'receive in thine heart' is to enthrone a belief in the I AM as the reality you live by, to let the imagined word stamp its truth upon your inner weather. The command to 'go to them of the captivity' is the discipline of turning your awareness toward the mentally imprisoned conditions you have accepted as real—lack, exile, limitation—and declaring, 'Thus saith the Lord GOD' as if that truth already stands. Whether they hear or forbear indicates that the outer response does not determine the validity of your inner assumption; what matters is your fidelity to the word you have accepted as true. When you hold to the inner decree—'I AM that word'—your outer world will seek alignment to it, transforming captivity into return.
