Shining From Inner Suffering

Neville's Inner Vision

To the inner reader, the astonishment of others is but the outer image of your inner state. The marred visage is not a catastrophe; it is the outer symbol of a mind that has relinquished the old identification with lack and separation. As you dwell in the truth of I AM, your inner climate begins to spritz the nations—the thoughts and beliefs of others are changed because you have changed your own. The kings who shut their mouths represent the closing of old authorities within you—the fears, the doubts, the previous scripts that said 'you cannot.' When you consent to a new premise—'I am the I AM, you see through me'—events respond, what had not been told becomes seen, what had not been heard becomes heard. This is the inward revelation: the world is not imposing itself on you; you are impressing a new state upon it. The verse invites you to accept your inner suffering as the birth-pain of a higher consciousness, and to act as if the new state is already real. When you hold this, the outer scene rearranges to reflect your inner sunlight.
