The Ladder Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Jacob’s dream is your inner map: the earth is your present state and heaven is your expanded awareness, joined by a ladder that is formed by your own consciousness. The top reaching heaven signals that the I AM within you already spans both worlds; the angels descending and ascending are the movements of imagination and feeling that carry your life from limitation toward fulfillment. When you dwell in a state of readiness—an assumption that the fulfilled state is present—you become the ladder-builder, and your world rearranges to reflect that light. Feel it real by imagining you are already at the top, looking out over your life with unity. Providence and guidance arise as the natural flux of inner impressions when you remain loyal to the covenant of your own I AM, not by chasing outcomes but by remaining faithful to the awareness that you are the one imagining. The dream teaches that the vertical relationship of mind and world is a fact of consciousness and that your job is to align your inner state with that fact, until the ordinary becomes luminous and the extraordinary becomes ordinary.
