Resting From Your Own Works

Neville's Inner Vision

To enter his rest, you must realize rest is a state of awareness, not a destination in time. You are not asked to perform more; you are asked to stop performing from a lack of perceived sufficiency. The verse invites you to imitate God by ceasing from your own works, not by resignation but by a conscious conversion: you shift your center from the striving ego to the I AM that already knows. In Neville's psychology, rest equals the moment you accept that your imagined state governs your world; faith is the action of assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled. When you imagine from the end, you are aligning with the divine order, and grace flows as a natural consequence of that trust. Creation happens inwardly; your outer life follows as the expression of this inner rest. This is not passivity but purposeful inner alignment: you are the rest you seek, and your world unfolds accordingly.
