The New Creation Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah speaks of a backsliding daughter, yet the Lord is declaring a new thing born within. In Neville’s sense, the backsliding is a state of consciousness clinging to lack, separation, and time; the new thing in the earth is the created state of awareness where the I AM recognizes itself as the only reality. The line A woman shall compass a man points to the sufficiency of inner feeling: the feminine principle of receptivity and imagination encircles the masculine I AM, enclosing it in a new, complete radiance. When you dwell in the I AM as your true identity, the surrounding world bends to your inner state; what you perceived as a return of the old collapses into a new creation. The inner woman is not otherness but the completed balance of consciousness, the dreamer who encircles the man (the focal point of awareness). Do not strive to pull the outer world to you; rest in the conviction that you are the one who creates and sustains this new condition by imagining from the end. Your present circumstance is the sign of this inward birth.
