Enduring Word Within Isaiah 40:6-8

Neville's Inner Vision

Let us read the call as a call within: you cry, yet you learn to listen to your own I AM. Flesh is not 'out there' but in your sense of self—ever changing, like grass that withers when the wind of belief blows on it. The 'flower' of your life depends on attention; when you identify with outward form, that attention dies and the form fades. But the spirit of the LORD blowing upon the grass is the awakening of consciousness that revives or withdraws your sense of reality. The line 'the word of our God shall stand forever' then means the eternal Word—your inner awareness, your I AM, your creative imagination—does not decay. It stands as the immutable fact within you, unaffected by the shifting scenes. Therefore, assume the Word as your present truth, and revise every appearance that contradicts it. In practice, you dwell as the Word while life seems to present symptoms; you feel the Word as real now, and your outer world follows the inner conviction. This is the key: you are the imagined, not merely the observer of events.
