Inner Longevity of the I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

All scripture is a portrait of states of consciousness, so Isaiah 65:20 is not a census but a map of inner life. There shall be no more the infant of days, nor the old man that hath not filled his days, for the inner life is measured by the fullness of imagination, not by outward years. The 'child' is the unformed power of imagination that ever seeks birth; the 'old man' is a habit of thought that has worn itself thin. When you acknowledge the I AM as the only life, the old self dies to its dominion, and the child-mind matures into wise action. The line about a hundred years—both for the child and the sinner—speaks in symbol: you can complete a life in consciousness in any moment by holding a steadfast vision of fullness. The 'sinner' who remains within the clock of guilt is simply resisting this inner transformation; once you align with the I AM, the curse dissolves and life flows without limit.
