Hidden Wrath, Everlasting Mercy

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you the ancient script unfolds as a drama of states. The little wrath is not a punishment but a veil in your awareness, a temporary forgetting of your true identity. I AM, the living presence, is the only reality, and when you sense separation you are merely shifting your state of consciousness. Isaiah 54:8 speaks of a momentary hiding and then the assurance of everlasting kindness. The mercy described is not distant benevolence but the realization that the I AM never ceases to love you. In Neville’s terms you do not argue with the wrath; you revise it. You assume the feeling that mercy is your present fact, and you imagine the Redeemer within affirming I will have mercy on thee because I am the very power animating your life. The outward scene may shift, yet the inner fact remains: your mood and image of self determine what appears. By abiding in the sense of being loved and forgiven, the veil dissolves and you awaken to the truth that kindness is your natural, enduring state.
