Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the beggar’s cry is not for an external cure but for the awakening of inner sight. When the figure of Jesus meets the man at the edge of perception, the moment is the law of your own consciousness at work. The question posed to him—what would you have me do for you—is the invitation to fix your state of mind. The answer is not a petition for a future gift but a decision to inhabit a present vision: I am able to see now. In Neville’s reading, the healing is not something earned by time but a conversion of faith into sight. Faith is the unwavering trust in the inner fact that you are the I AM, the awareness that witnesses your world. When you refuse to argue with lack and instead assume the inner vision, the apparent blindness dissolves. The restored sight is the awakening to your true nature—a being of light that sees through every circumstance. There is no distance between your inner sight and your outward experience; you simply awaken to what you already are.
