Opening Inner Eyes

Neville's Inner Vision

To open the blind eyes is not a command to the body but a turning of consciousness. The verse speaks of liberation from inner prisons: the 'prisoners' are fixed beliefs and patterns, the 'darkness' is the habit of limitation that keeps you from seeing your true state. When you say I AM and dwell in the awareness of your fulfilled desire, you awaken the inner sight that has always been yours. The seeming separation— the sense that you are in darkness or confined—melts as you persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Open eyes become a radiance of awareness, not a change on the outside. Your imagination is the key, for imagination is the decisive power of God within; by reviving the image of yourself as free, you initiate the movement that draws liberation into your experience. Do not plead for deliverance from without; move inside, revise the inner picture until it feels inevitable, and watch the outer scene align with your inner vision.
