Unlearned Reader, Inner Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

To Isaiah, the book is given to the unlearned, a sign that illumination does not depend on bookish training but on the condition of your heart. In the Neville mirror, the people draw near with their mouths and yet their heart is distant, for their fear is taught by the precepts of men. You, reader, are not banished from the inner temple when you abandon reliance on outward rules. The I AM, your true self, can hear the whisper of the inner book's page turning only when the mind rests in inner consciousness. The 'precept of men' is but a habit of thought—one that makes fear appear holy. Real worship is the alignment of heart and inner knowing; it is not performed but becomes. When attention returns to your I AM, the barrier dissolves and God is no longer apart from you but within as living awareness, reading you as you read it. Your life becomes the continual realization of the inner scripture you have always carried.
