Inner Suffering Transformed

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's chair, this verse is a map, not a verdict. The flesh's pain and the soul's mourning are not final; they are the inward movements of a state of consciousness that believes itself constrained. The outer world is a mirror of your inner I AM. If you awaken to the truth that you are the awareness that imagines, you will find that the sensation you call 'pain' is simply a signal correcting your attention toward lack. The I AM cannot suffer; it is the living, present sense of being. Therefore, you revise by assuming a new state and letting the feeling of that state fill your being until it becomes your lived experience. Repeat as-if statements: 'I am health now; I am the consciousness that holds the body well.' Dwell in the impression of vitality, not the report of pain, and watch the external conditions yield to the inner conviction. In time, the dream of distress dissolves as the inner sense of wholeness remains, and the body reflects the altered state.
