Hebrews 3:11 Inner Rest

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, rest is the condition of awareness in which the I AM is unmistakably present. The verse voices the I AM's oath: I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter my rest—yet that wrath is not an external thunderbolt but the old self's judgment within you. When you identify with separation and doubt, you keep yourself outside the rest by resisting the inner law of your imagination. The oath marks a boundary your mind has drawn around its own state of being; the remedy is revision: align with the truth that you are the living idea of God, and let obedience be fidelity to the inner covenant of imagination. Entering rest comes by persisting in the imagined state until it feels inevitable you are already in that rest. The disobedient belong to the tale of distance; the faithful belong to the conviction that the I AM is your present reality. Your peace is a state you awaken into, not a destination you travel to.
