Returning to Rest: Inner Quiet Strength

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the Lord's word not as distant command but as a map of your inner state. Returning is a turning of attention toward the I AM that you truly are; rest is the cessation of mind-chatter and the consent of consciousness to be fully present. When you 'return' and 'rest,' salvation is not future deliverance but a present alignment of your entire being with divine awareness. In this light, 'quietness and confidence' are practical disciplines: quietness withdraws belief from the noisy images of lack, while confidence remains the steady conviction that the kingdom is already within you. The clause 'and ye would not' is a gentle reminder that the door to this state is always open, yet one can cling to old identities. Your work is to revise your assumption from separation to unity, to declare, 'I am the I AM,' and to dwell there until the world rearranges itself to reflect that inner order. This is the psychology of salvation: the inner state creates the external.
