Inner Faith of the Ancients

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville idiom, these verses reveal faith as a state of consciousness in which the unseen becomes the seen by a decision of the I AM. Abel’s offering is the inner signal that righteousness is already established when you present your gifts from the consciousness that God loves and testifies to them. He may be dead in the world’s terms, yet his voice speaks within you as the settled conviction that you are accepted. Enoch’s translation—not dying because God translated him—becomes the texture of your daily life when you live from the sense that you have already surpassed ordinary limits; the testimony that you please God rests in your present satisfaction with your state. The admonition that you must believe that you are and that God rewards those who seek Him becomes a practical rule: assume the end, and let the feeling of completion flood the moment. Noah’s ark, seen unseen, is your inner sanctuary built by imagination and obedience, safeguarding your house as you discern the world’s judgments from the still, small voice within. Practice by assuming this finished state now, and let your day prove what your I AM already knows.
