Inner Craft Of Life

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the speaker names the hands that formed him and acknowledges the risk of being destroyed. In Neville's psychology, the 'hands' are the I AM, your constant awareness shaping every image you entertain. You are not a body under external fate, but a state of consciousness in which form arises. The clay image points to the malleability of identity under thought; your self can be remade by a single assumption that you are held and sustained by Life and by grace. The lines about being poured out and curdled signal that change in form and experience is a movement of imagination, not an end. When your spirit is visited by the sense of life and favor, you experience a continuity that cannot be broken by circumstance. The visitation is the inner intelligence within you—the divine I AM—that preserves you as you pursue new states of being. So cultivate the attitude that you are being preserved as you stand in the present moment, and let imagination declare your reality.
