Divine Light, Human Limitation

Neville's Inner Vision

Set your attention on the inner light, not the external display of purity. Job 25:3-5 speaks from the mouth of a seeker who notes how vast is the divine radiance upon some, and yet asks, How can a man be justified with God, or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? In Neville's sense, these words reveal that the world’s measures—armies, moons, stars—are only echoes of consciousness. Light in the heavens does not justify the man who believes himself apart; justification is a change in consciousness, not an alteration of conditions. If you would know God as I AM, you must stop looking for purity outside and begin recognizing purity as your inner state. The light that arises in you is God within, and it is sufficient to redeem by awakening the feeling 'I am' as the standard of all being. The limitation of the moon and stars is a reminder that the small, fractional awareness of man cannot quantify the Whole; but the I AM within can. By imagining yourself as already justified, you align with that divine light and transform your sense of who you are.
