Inner Preservation In Jeremiah 45:5

Neville's Inner Vision

Who, in truth, are you but an I AM, awareness, the immutable proprietor of your experience? Jeremiah bids the heart to rest from the craving for outward displays and worldly magnificence: 'seek not great things for thyself.' In the inner theatre, the outer scene may roar with judgment—the 'evil upon all flesh'—yet your essential life is preserved by the I AM. Do not look for life in the spectacular, but claim it as a state of consciousness. Your life is not a collection of possessions, titles, or applause; it is the continuous, unassailable awareness that you are one with God, who says, 'thy life will I give unto thee.' So you revise the world by imagining yourself already preserved, already protected, regardless of what seems to happen around you. When you identify with the I AM rather than with the changing surface, you become the one who walks freely through any place, any turn of fate, with a quiet confidence that you are kept safe by divine continuity.
