Inner Sign, Outer Turn

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the great roll you are bid to write is your inner ledger, a script of the state you assent to as already true. The witnesses Uriah and Zechariah symbolize steadfast inner faculties that attest to the reality you are choosing; their record is the discipline of attention you bring to your scene. The prophetess who conceived and bore a son is the mystery through which a new consciousness is borne in you. When the LORD says, call his name Mahershalalhashbaz, He invites you to name the condition you desire: a state in which the 'spoil' of the old world—lack, limitation, fear—are replaced by an abundance that springs from your inner sovereignty. The cry of the child comes not from ignorance but from the moment your heart knows, 'I am the ruler here.' And before that child can cry, the external signs appear: the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria are taken away before the king of Assyria—that is, before your inner King, the I AM, you have let the old order yield to your new decree. The law is simple: image, declare, and dwell in the feeling of the already accomplished end, and the world around you must respond.
