Inner Image, Outer Dominion

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 1:26 is not history you read; it is the operating manual of your consciousness. God speaks to the inner you: Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. The 'us' is the ongoing dialogue of awareness with its form—the I AM constructing itself through imagination. When you acknowledge you are made in God's image, you awaken to a native authority that no circumstance can diminish. Dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, the cattle, and the earth is not domination of others but dominion over your inner states: the thoughts you entertain, the fears you nourish, the habits you practice. Your outer world will shift to reflect the inner image you assume. The key is to dwell in the feeling that you already are this image, that you are the I AM looking through the body and through the day. Practice, revision, and sustained imagination align you with the kingdom of God here and now.
