Inner Grace Unfolding

Neville's Inner Vision

Esau’s offer to depart with the folk is the appearance of support from the outer world; Jacob’s reply, 'What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord,' is a turning of the wheel from seeking favors outside to claiming them from within. In the Neville view, the lord is the I AM within, the stable awareness that orders every scene. Grace, here, is not a bargain with others but a state you assume and feel as already yours. When you dare to say, 'I am found gracious in the sight of my lord,' you stop chasing the crowd and begin living from the inner court where mercy, compassion, and presence dwell. The crowd's offer recedes into the background as your consciousness occasions a new order: you respond from assurance rather than need, you act from a sense of Being rather than lacking. Practically, you train your imagination to entertain the feeling that you are already favored by the inner lord, and let that feeling govern the next choice. The scene becomes a daily practice of grace and independent decision.
