You Are From the Beginning

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard sense, the scene is not about external faces but the I AM behind all faces. The demand 'Who art thou?' is the mind seeking its own identity, while the reply, 'the same that I said unto you from the beginning,' points to a fixed origin within. The 'beginning' is the first state of consciousness you assumed when you imagined life into form. Since persons, places, and events are manifestations of inner states, the constant self—your true I AM—remains unchanged even as circumstances change. Doubt arises when you forget this inner origin; the world then appears to overshadow your essential nature. The truth is that you are the unalterable awareness that imagination can inhabit and shape. Re-enter that original decree now: you are the living, unchanging I AM that began all you experience. When you align with this inner identity, the outer world mirrors your renewed inner state as a fresh expression of the same beginning.
