Inner Birth Of Deliverance

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah presents us as a people in travail, a pregnancy of possible consequence. The pains are not punishment but the old forms being pressed by the demand of a new state already present in the I AM. We have been with child, we say, we have labored in the dark, and we brought forth wind—the sense that nothing in the earth has yet delivered. But the truth is hidden inside the consciousness that imagines a different earth. In Neville's terms, deliverance happens not by begging the outside to change but by turning to the inside center of awareness and assuming the end. Assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled now: you are the consciousness that births the new order; dwell in that mood until it becomes your primary perception. If fear returns, revise it with the claim, 'I now rest in the certainty that all is well, and this state is now manifest.' Persistence in the inner act brings the outer scene into alignment. The birth is complete when the I AM asserts its own reality.
