Isaiah 57:16 Inner Mercy

Neville's Inner Vision

Your true self is the I AM, the unchanging watcher of every scene. When you feel at odds, remember that the I AM does not contend; it simply is, and in its patience every split of mind begins to heal. Isaiah's line is not about God fighting with you from without, but about your own consciousness choosing a steadier mood—the mood of mercy. The 'spirit' within you is your life-force, not a judge; when you stop resisting and allow the divine patience to lead, the 'souls' you have made—your beliefs, habits, and fears—will yield to grace. By accepting that the inner I AM is patient and benevolent, you align with grace as your permanent state. In that alignment, conflicts dissolve, forgiveness appears, and reconciliation becomes your immediate experience. You can live as if you are already beloved, already at rest, already favored by the divine within you. This is the heart of Neville's reading: imagination creates reality by resting in the truth that you are the I AM.
