Pride Against God Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader, the pride of Israel is not a distant boast but a state of consciousness that exalts self over the I AM within. It testifieth to his face—pride parades in awareness, declaring I am this, no need to seek God. To return to the LORD is to revise your inner posture, recognizing the inner governor as the sole reality. In Neville's sense, the remedy is the practice of imagining from the end: assume the state in which God is acknowledged as the I AM within you and seek Him now. Return is not a geographic move but a shift of attention; drop allegiance to the pride that defines you and dwell in the quiet certainty that you are the living presence of God. When you choose to seek the Lord within, the mental weather changes; the pride that testifieth against your awareness dissolves as you feel and affirm your oneness with the I AM. Worship becomes remembrance of your alignment with that inner ruler, and obedience is the steady attention to realization rather than outward ritual.
