Bearing Your Own Burden Within

Neville's Inner Vision

As Neville would interpret it, the burden is not a weight in the external world but a state of consciousness you have accepted as real. You do not carry an object; you carry a conviction in your own mind about what is true. When you believe you lack, you lift the burden; when you believe you are whole, the load shifts, revealing new possibilities. Your true self, the I AM within, bears the burden you claim; to bear it is to own your inner state and revise it until it matches your desire. Perseverance is not stubborn resistance to circumstance but the steady feeling that the new state is true now. Suffering signals a misalignment you can correct by revision: name the state you want, feel it as already real, and rest in the certainty that your outer world will reflect your inner posture. This is God in action—the one life of consciousness you share. By attending to your inner state and refusing to entertain the old burden, you awaken the power that creates your reality.
