John 17:6-7

Biblical Context

Jesus declares that he has manifested God's name to the men given to him out of the world, and they have kept thy word. They now know that all things given to me are of thee.

Neville's Inner Vision

John 17:6-7 becomes a map of your inner kingdom. The disciples are not distant people but states of awareness you harbor. The Name manifested is the I AM you discover within, the self you truly are when you listen to the Source. When you acknowledge that everything you are given flows from the Father, you acknowledge that your world is formed by your inner agreement with that Source. They have kept thy word—hold to your inner decree long enough for it to become your outer sight. Now they know that all things given to me are of thee: this is the moment you realize no gift, no event, no sensation arises but from the One whose name you wear in consciousness. Thus the Jesus you honor is the inner self acting through you, not an external person. Practice: assume you are the one given to yourself by the Source, and that all outcomes are of that living union.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: close your eyes, breathe, and declare I am the Name manifested within me by the Source. Feel the unity with the divine and let that conviction revise any sense of separation until your outer life reflects that truth.
