The Inner Measure of God Within

Neville's Inner Vision

When you hear Job wield the question Canst thou by searching find out God, you are hearing the voice of a limited self seeking to map the infinite. In the temple of your own awareness, the God who is I AM is not a subject to be hunted but the very substance of consciousness you already possess. The lines It is as high as heaven and deeper than hell describe not distances but states—elevations of mind and depths of belief. The measure thereof longer than the earth, broader than the sea points to the vast circumference of your inner life when you stop measuring by outward results and begin feeling from the source of attention. You do not go out to know God; you return to the center where you are God within. The apparent inscrutability dissolves as you revise the idea of searching and acknowledge that God is the I AM that knows through you, through your breath, your thoughts, your stillness. Practice the inner revision: declare, even now, I AM the Knowing; feel this I AM expanding, and watch circumstances align to reflect that infinite sense of self.
