The Inner Presence Emerges

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the verse as a map of consciousness. The labour of Egypt and the merchandise of distant nations are not 'out there' but movements of your own dream-world, pressing toward your inner awareness. When you acknowledge the I AM as your true Self—'Surely God is in thee'—the outer world begins to align, not by coercion, but by your recognition. God hides itself, yet savior is your inner nature; as you stop worshipping idols of fear and lack, those idols lose power and become ashamed. The nations come to thee in chains of belief, now transformed into reverent acknowledgment of your unity with God. The presence of God is not a distant event but the awakening of your own I AM. The apparent separations dissolve as you learn to reverse the dream by assuming, feeling, and living from the end: you are the God in whom all eyes turn, the savior of your own life. In this light, true worship is inner recognition, not ritual; salvation is the conscious realization that you never left God, and God never left you.
