The Inner Shake

Neville's Inner Vision

Where you see a shaking of the heavens and the earth, I hear a whisper about your own inner weather. The heavens are your higher ideas; the earth is the settled matter of your day-to-day beliefs. The sea and the dry land speak of changing tides of feeling and fixed states of mind. God does not come to punish a world outside you, but to awaken a consciousness that has forgotten its own majesty. Yet a little while—this is not time but attention: in your present moment, you may choose a new state and let it reverberate through every layer of your being. When you imagine that you are already the state you desire, the shaking clears away the old images that bind you and allows the new images to settle as fact. The moment you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, the heavens and the earth realign to your inner vision. This is not a threat but a remodeling of your inner kingdom, a new creation born from desire rightly held in mind.
