Inner Diet of Maturity

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this writing, the inner voice declares that your time has come to graduate from infancy in faith and to stand as a teacher in your own temple. Milk stands for a belief in lack or distance—the sense that God is somewhere apart and that you must be taught before you know. Strong meat embodies a practiced, living knowledge: the use of imagination and habitual awareness to discern good and evil in every moment. When the apostle says that mature ones have senses exercised, he is describing a state of consciousness where attention is trained, where assumption and revision work together to align outer events with inner truth. You are not waiting for permission from life; you are called to act from the I AM you already are. By repeating the inner principle—God is your awareness, you are whole, you already possess the answer—you become skilled at discerning which thoughts to feed and which to discard. The delay vanishes as you inhabit the fullness of your inner authority.
