The Remade Vessel Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this short line lies the perennial work of your consciousness. The potter is the I AM within you, never cast down by a single defect. The clay vessel is your present sense of self—scarred by fear, failure, or limitation—yet the master's hand does not abandon it. He remakes it into a vessel that seems good to him, a form that reflects his intention, not your past verdicts. When you read this, know that the change begins inwardly, in imagination. Your state of being is not fixed by yesterday's marks but by the next stroke of the wheel of awareness. The mercy here is not judgment but substitution: you are given a new mold, a new pattern through which life can flow. Grace comes as revision—conscious consent to a different self, a new use for the clay of your life. If you dwell on the assumption that you are already the remade vessel, your experience follows the inner image. The outward may change in time, yet the real alteration is in consciousness.
