Inner Gethsemane Prayer

Neville's Inner Vision

View this scene as your own inner tug-of-war between what you want and what the I AM wills. The mount is your charged inner center where you kneel to align with a higher version of yourself. The cup stands for any circumstance you fear or resist; when you say, 'not my will, but thine,' you are not denying desire but consenting to a greater reality. The angel that strengthens him is the whisper of conviction in you that you are already whole; holding to that conviction shifts energy and makes the unbearable bearable, even luminous. The agony is the pressure of birthing a new state of consciousness; the more you pray, the more intense the sense of possibility—like great drops of awakening dripping into your ground of being. The disciples' sleep is your old thoughts that forget to stay present; you awaken by a daily practice of watchfulness and prayer. The inner act precedes outward change; when you maintain this inner alignment, your outer world begins to answer in harmony.
