The Visible Father Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To Philip, the question reveals a common error: looking for the Father as if He were far away. The Master teaches that God is not a distant person to be worshiped; He is the I AM that occupies your awareness. When Jesus says, 'he that hath seen me hath seen the Father,' He points to a law of consciousness: the form you attend to in your mind is the living Father in activity. If you treat Jesus as a separate man, you will feel a lack; if, however, you regard Jesus as the visible manifestation of your own inner Presence, you unlock the recognition that the Father is your own I AM here and now. The Presence of God is not a place but the ongoing awareness that thinks, loves, and acts. Faith and trust are merely the habit of continually returning to that awareness; grace is the favorable movement of consciousness when you align with what you already are. In this light, the true miracle is the decision to identify with the inner Jesus until the Father is obvious in every moment.
