Heights, Depths, and Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the words place you not before an external distance, but in the realm of consciousness. Heaven and hell are not places out there; they are inner states you inhabit by attention. The height of heaven is the state of awareness that includes every idea, every possibility, every outcome you can imagine. The depth of hell is the cave of fear and resistance you may slip into when you forget who you are. The 'measure thereof' being longer than the earth and broader than the sea is the truth of your own mind's capacity to hold, revisit, and revise experiences. You are the I AM that measures, not a small ego trying to know. When you claim you cannot know, you limit your own power to create. Change your assumption: you already reside in the expansive consciousness that contains all places and times. In that light, every problem resolves as a shift in your awareness; what seems distant becomes intimate when you recognize you are the very scale by which all things are measured.
