Inner Zeal, Inner Influence

Neville's Inner Vision

Zeal, in this reading, is not a religious frenzy aimed at others but the inner fire of alignment with your true I AM. When people press you toward their program, their zeal is a force trying to bind you to their circle so you will affect them in return. This is not the good zeal Paul commends; it is an attempt to pull you away from the truth you already are. Neville’s psychology teaches that every outward voice reflects an inner state of consciousness. The remedy is to shift that state by assumption: you are already zealously affected by a good that belongs to you, independent of any presence or approval. So revise inwardly: I am zealously affected by the good within me now, guided by the I AM that dwells in me. Feel this truth as a warm, luminous certainty, and let the external calls fade into the background. When you dwell there, zeal becomes fidelity to the good and not a tool to manipulate others; your life follows the inner direction of God-consciousness, constant and true.
