Inner Timing of Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this date as the inner calendar by which I measure the state of mind. The four-and-twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius, is not a mere historical stamp; it is the moment my consciousness declares, I am in charge here. In Neville's sense, God is the I AM I awaken to, and time is a function of my inner state. The decree of Darius represents the outer order my mind uses to discipline itself, but the revival I seek must begin within, as a feeling of order, purpose, and possibility. When I imagine from this inner state, the people's return is the imagining that my own neglected aims are now returned to honor. The date becomes a reminder that the Kingdom is not coming from outside but rising in awareness that I have already rebuilt what I desire. I live as if the decree is true now, and so it becomes true in experience.
