The Inner Call to Obedience

Neville's Inner Vision

Whenever the inner word returns, it is the I AM calling you to a new form of obedience. Jonah’s second call shows that the divine impulse is not exhausted by a past refusal; it renews itself until you answer. Nineveh, the great city of your own thoughts, becomes the field where a new preaching of your true desire is imagined. When you 'arise' and go, you are not moving toward an external city; you are aligning your inner dispositions with the truth you name. The 'three days' journey' speaks of the successive shifts in consciousness you undergo as you walk toward your goal in imagination, until it 'arises' as fact in your life. To obey is to trust that the word of I AM already contains the potential and the path. So you act because you believe you already are the one who issues and fulfills that decree. This is faith: a present-tense aligning of self with the mind that already knows the outcome.
