Shelter The Outcast Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Take counsel within, for you are the I AM that sees itself. To execute judgment is to decide your inner state; let thy shadow—the concealed beliefs and neglected desires—be the night in the midst of noonday until you mend it by mercy and imaginative acceptance. Hide the outcasts, the wounded parts of you cast to the margins of self image, in the sanctuary of your attention, not to bury them but to tend them with your present feeling of worth. Do not betray him that wanders, the restless thoughts that stray toward fear; welcome them as signals of a living mind and rewrite them with your creative word. When you rest in the awareness that God is I AM and that imagination creates reality, your world bends to your state of consciousness as you choose mercy, justice, and unity. The inner city becomes a temple where every part is cared for, and the community of your self grows whole as you refuse disclosure of your inner wanderers until they are healed.
