Inner Nation of Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this 'nation' is a state of consciousness, a habitual sense of separation from the I AM. 'Ah sinful nation' points to the belief that life and God are outside, a misreading of reality. The 'seed of evildoers' are seed-thoughts that take root when fear or guilt is fed; 'children that are corrupters' are patterns of behavior born from those self-images. 'They have forsaken the LORD' is not a verdict on others but a moment when attention wandered from the inner light; 'they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger' is the soul's reaction to resistance to its own holiness. And 'they are gone away backward' signals a regression into old conditions of mind. The remedy is simple: awaken to the I AM as your constant presence and revise the mental state by choosing a new, unconditionally loving assumption. Assume you are already aligned with divine law, that you are the righteousness and wisdom you seek, and feel that alignment until it becomes your felt reality. In that transformation, the inner 'nation' is renewed, and outward appearances soften as your consciousness moves back toward wholeness.
