Inner Diligence Of Hope

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the 'we' is your I AM, your living awareness. The author does not threaten a distant reward; he invites you to enter a new state of consciousness that remains faithful to itself until the imagined end becomes your lived present. To be diligent is to keep returning to the assumption of the fulfilled promise, to polish the inner image until it radiates certainty. Faith is not a mere belief in future events; it is the refusal to surrender the inner state that makes them real. Patience is the inner discipline of remaining in that victorious mood through every present appearance, for appearances are only the outer echo of an inner movement. When you imitate 'them who through faith and patience inherit the promises,' you imitate the state they held: a conviction that the end is already accomplished in consciousness. Therefore, cultivate a moment-by-moment sense that your wish is realized now, and let that feeling carry you beyond delay into the full assurance of hope.
