Dawn of the Strange Act

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, when Isaiah speaks of the LORD rising 'as in mount Perazim' and 'to do a strange work,' he is describing your inner I AM waking to perform a new act within your consciousness. The 'strange work' is not a curse but a revised pattern of imagining—an abrupt shift in the way you feel and think that compresses old conditions into a new order. If you mock this inner movement, you reinforce the old bands of limitation; if you take it seriously as the real work of God within you, those bands melt and your world rearranges itself. The 'consumption... upon the whole earth' is the sweeping away of every belief that keeps you bound, not a punishment against you. Your task is to consent to the new act by assuming the state that it has already occurred; feel the reality now, and let your imagination perform the work. Your life becomes the field on which this strange act is actualized, as you persist in the sentiment of its completion.
