Desire, Prayer, and Inner Power

Neville's Inner Vision

Desire, lust, and the warfare in James are not outward battles but inner states of consciousness. The verse shows you do not obtain because you have not truly asked, or you ask with lust that would consume the very thing you seek. In Neville’s terms, the cause is psychological: you are the I AM seeking to possess, yet you imagine external possession will define you. To change your world you must change the inner assumption. Stop praying from lack and frame your desire as already granted in the consciousness you inhabit. Assume the end with the feeling of it real, as if you have already received. See the scene in imagination and feel the joy, the relief, the alignment with your essential nature. Your motive matters: a pure request serves the whole; greed creates delay. When you revise, you no longer chase; you rest in the I AM and let the inner image do its work, and the outer conditions follow.
