Inner Fast for Freedom

Neville's Inner Vision

Think not that God is distant; the 'fast' spoken by Isaiah is a correction of your inner state. When you loose the bands of wickedness within, you unbind your own sense of identity from limitation. The heavy burdens are mental—beliefs you have imaged as real. To let the oppressed go free is to release those captive parts of you—fear, guilt, resentment—so they may rise to light. Break every yoke by insisting you are already free in spirit, here and now, through the I AM that you are. Your awareness does the freeing work. As you rest in that state, outer circumstances will begin to reflect the inner freedom: less pressure, more mercy, justice moving with ease. The practice is to assume the feeling of release and revise any sense of bondage, feeling it real until the inner state manifests as your experience.
