Inner Reversal and the I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

Scripture is not a history lesson but a map of states of consciousness. When the voice says, Thou hast forsaken me, it speaks as your own inner I AM lamenting a belief you have adopted—that you are separated from God. Thou art gone backward signals a backward drift in your inner steadiness, a turning away from the sense of unity. The line therefore I stretch out my hand against thee is the action of awareness, the I AM directed to dissolve the old image and to destroy the dream that you are other than divine. I am weary with repenting reveals the fatigue born of repeating the same remorseful thought; repentance here is a loop of mental drama, not a verdict on your essential nature. You can revise by refusing that loop and assuming the feeling of your true identity: I AM, in constant covenant with itself, now fully alive to the reality of God within. Let that consciousness rule, and the memory of condemnation dries up, replaced by a felt sense of abiding wholeness.
