The Inner Throne Of Grace

Neville's Inner Vision

Seeing then that we have a great high priest seated in the heavens, I understand this high priest not as a distant person but as the very state of awareness you embody. The 'great high priest' is your inner I AM, the living Christ within, who has already passed through the veils of limitation into the higher realm of understanding. He shares in your infirmities—tempted as you are, yet without sin—so that you may recognize yourself as one with divine nature rather than as separated from it. When you read that you should come boldly to the throne of grace, you are being told to enter the inner sovereign place where your mind chooses the state of mercy and grace now, not in some future moment. By holding fast to your profession, you refuse to depart from the awareness that your request is already granted in the one mind. Your circumstances yield to this inner movement, and mercy appears as relief from guilt or fear, and grace appears as the power to fulfill what you have imagined, here and now.
