Overturning the Night Within

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you, the 'man' spoken of is not a person apart but your own state of consciousness. The 'right' God refuses to lay upon you is the alignment of your inner I AM with truth; the outer upheavals are the night-time working of the inner law to uproot old pictures and refresh your world. The 'mighty men' are the fixed beliefs, the seeming powers of circumstance, the habits you have treated as real. They are not stronger than the silence of your inner decree. When the night overturns them, you awaken to a new arrangement because your awareness has shifted. God being the I AM means you are the sovereign observer who can revise the scene simply by assuming the state that would prevail if the desired condition were true. So the revision is not rebellion against life, but recognition that you have always stood in judgment and that the judgment can be righteous and final. Practice by dwelling in the feeling that right action is already present, and let the inner overturning do the rest.
