Within: Rejection and Reverence

Neville's Inner Vision

In this reading, the text reveals a state of consciousness that would dismiss God and treat prayer as unnecessary. Neville would say God is not distant but the I AM within you—your constant awareness. When you identify with a mind that rejects the divine, you experience separation from the source of life and turn prayer into a debate about profit rather than a communion with presence. The remedy is inner revision: adopt the assumption that you are already one with the divine idea and that knowledge, service, and prayer arise from that unity. By affirming the I AM as your real condition, the profits of service and the knowledge of God become interior realizations, not external outcomes. Your prayers then become conversations that awaken awareness, and the world rearranges to reflect your integrated state of consciousness. The verse thus invites a conversion from resistance to embodiment of divine presence within all experience.
