Inner Feast, Outer Excuses

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines are not a parable about others; they are a doorway into your inner life. The excuses—land to inspect, oxen to prove, a wife to tend—are the images your mind offers to justify a refusal to this very hour’s abundance. In the domain of your I AM, the banquet is always prepared and the invitation is life’s living demand: come, and come now. When you identify with the I AM as your true self, those outward reasons lose their force; you discover that the 'guest' who says no is a mistaken state of consciousness, a habit of wanting control over what you already possess. The feast you seek is the realization that you are the host of your own reality, and all lack is a misperception. Practice this: assume the feeling of being invited as the definitive state. revise any image that says you must choose 'later' or 'after'—see the table set and your awareness resting there, fulfilled and joyful. The shift from excuses to acceptance is the act of awakening the I AM to fullness.
