Appointed Time Within You

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard perspective, time is not a ticking clock but a state of consciousness. When Job speaks of an appointed time, he points to the belief that life’s days are ruled by fate outside of us. Yet the I AM within you is the very perception that orders events; your outer conditions simply reflect your inner occupancy. You are not waiting for time to change; you are changing your state of mind, and time unfolds to match that new inner truth. The beloved hireling’s days are a shadow of past identifications—fears, wants, and limited self-views. By consciously assuming a different identity—one that knows you are eternally guided, that your days are appointed by the I AM—you revise the apparent timetable. The moment you inhabit this inner conviction, you begin to feel a soft easing, a sense that every moment now conjoins to your good. The apparent delays dissolve as you dwell in the end-state you intend; you are not subject to earthly hours but to the law of consciousness that creates reality. Hold the feeling that you are already in your appointed season, and you will awaken to it.
