Interceding With the I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

Within these lines the soul discovers that intercession is not a request from without, but a movement within the I AM. When Job laments that someone might plead for a man with God as one pleads for a neighbor, he is naming the state of mercy that already exists in consciousness. The 'neighbor' is not separate; it is the figure your awareness projects when you believe in a separation between God and man. The 'few years' speaks not of time but of the shifting of your inner climate—a readiness to release the old self that dies to its old grievances. In Neville's terms, intercession is the act of assuming that you are one with the I AM who pleads, and thus you bring forgiveness, reconciliation, and renewal into your own inner world first. When you hold the conviction that God is the I AM within you and within the other, you erase the illusion of distance and open a doorway to mercy. Your prayer becomes a revision: you declare the other already blessed, already healed by the light you are.
