One Offering, Eternal Rest

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the daily priestly rite as a picture of your restless mind, insisting on endless rituals to appease an unseen you. The old scene speaks of many offerings that can never erase the sense of lack. Then you look to the man who offered one sacrifice forever, and you feel him sit down at the right hand of God—inner assurance that the work is complete. In Neville’s language, that "man" is your true I AM, the perpetually awake consciousness. The rest of God, not future, is here when you acknowledge that one act of self-acceptance has sanctified you. The enemies are the whispered doubts and never-ending rounds of effort, the footstool is the gentle power of realization that conquers them by resting in the state that was already accomplished. By a single spiritual act, you are perfected—now, in your present awake state—through faith in your own I AM. The ritual ends not by changing God, but by awakening to your essential being.
