Humility's Justifying Light

Neville's Inner Vision

In the theater of the mind, the publican stands apart, feeling unworthy, yet willing to call upon the I AM. He does not lift his eyes toward heaven, but smites his breast and proclaims mercy for himself. In that moment, the inner I AM answers with a mercy that is not earned but recognized; the authority of heaven is the awareness that you are present to God within. The exaltation of the soul does not come from outward display but from the recognition that you are one with the mercy you seek. When you inhabit this inner posture, the sense of separation dissolves and justification becomes a felt reality in consciousness. Exaltation follows humility, not as a reward from without, but as the natural state of an awakened I AM aligned with divine mercy. Practice this inward shift daily: acknowledge yourself as the one God knows, drop the need to prove yourself, and rest in the awareness that you are already beloved and justified in spirit.
