Not Of The World: Inner Alignment

Neville's Inner Vision

John 17:14–16 speaks not of geography but of inner allegiance. The disciples bear the Word and thus stand in a reality that opposes the world’s pull, and the world hates them because their inner state is not shaped by its values. In the Neville mode, this 'not of the world' is a state of consciousness you can claim now: you are the I AM, the awareness that lights all experience, and you need not be absorbed by outward conditions. To 'keep them from the evil' is to safeguard your mind from fear, lack, and judgment—an act of revision and faithful imagination rather than a plea for escape. The Word you have received becomes an inner law that reorganizes feeling, expectation, and perception so that outer events conform to inner truth. The separation is an interior sanctification, not a withdrawal from life; it is the living proof that your inner reality preexists and commands form. When you inhabit that state, you walk through the world with calm, honored by truth, and your life becomes a demonstration of a faithfulness that transforms appearances.
