Inner Visage, Outer Reality

Neville's Inner Vision

Seen in this light, the lament is not a history of misery but a map of consciousness. The blackened visage, the unseen streets, the gaunt frame are the inner states you carry when you have forgotten your I AM Presence. In Neville's terms, the outer world is the reflection of your inner assumption. When you believe yourself to be without nourishment, unrecognized by life, you draw a famine into your days. Yet the I AM is always present, untouched by circumstance, ready to re-image reality. To change it, you do not bargain with the world but revise the image in your mind until it feels true. Assume you are the living Presence that nourishes all forms; see your skin renewed, your visage bright, and your steps known by joy rather than fear. With each moment of imagining the end you desire, you awaken the body to its natural vitality. Endurance and exile become devotional exercises, reminding you that the outer is but the stage on which your inner state plays out. You return to yourself when you choose to believe more vivid than the appearance.
