Awaiting the Inner Lord

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the verse as a map of your inner state. Be patient is not a command to postpone desire, but a reminder to hold your mind in the state that already possesses what you seek. Stablish your hearts translates to fixing your sense of self in a definition of who you are in truth—an I AM that does not waiver with circumstance. The 'coming of the Lord' is the awakening of consciousness to that truth, not a distant event. When you insist on patience, you are choosing a continuous inner atmosphere in which imagination runs its course without interruption by fear. Doubt and impatience signal an outer-oriented mind; quietness and steadiness signal that you inhabit the inner life where the Lord resides. Therefore your work is to revise any claim of lack by repeating the end and feeling the reality of it in your chest, until this feeling becomes you. The moment this shift settles, the outer world re-aligns with your inner state, and the nearer approach of the Lord becomes your lived experience.
