The I AM's Quiet Righteousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Understand that 'heart,' 'eyes,' and 'spirit' are inner states of consciousness, not external judges. When your heart carries you away, you have wandered from the I AM within, and the words you utter expose a misalignment with the truth that the divine idea dwells as your very awareness. The question, What is man, that he should be clean? points not to condemnation but to the recognition that cleanliness and righteousness are not achieved by effort from a separate self, but by returning to the awareness that you are the I AM—the God-tide in which all accounts are balanced. In this light, your imagination becomes the governor of experience: think and feel in alignment with the state already true. If you accuse yourself, you are reinforcing a split between spirit and God; revise your inner narrative and feel the certainty of the I AM as your present reality, and watch your inner atmosphere reorganize into righteousness. The verse invites you to step from struggle into the immediate assurance that you are, now, in God, and God is in you.
