Inner Labor, Fear Not in Vain

Neville's Inner Vision

Galatians 4:11 is not a rebuke from without but a reflection of your inner stance. The 'I am afraid of you' is the mind's fear that the new state—sonship, freedom, abundance—has not taken root. The labour spoken of is the spiritual effort of lifting consciousness into that state. If you fear your work is in vain, you are clinging to evidence in the world rather than to the I AM that you are. Neville's method asks you to revise by assuming the end now: imagine the fulfillment of the very situation you seek, feel it as real, and dwell there until your inner atmosphere radiates outward. In practice, treat the other person as already changed in your mind; proclaim, and feel, 'I AM that which I desire them to be.' The fear dissolves when you recognize all events are inner movements of your consciousness and that your labour is never wasted where you hold the state. Return to the inner assurance, and your external results align with your inner conviction.
