No Looking Back, Plow of Faith

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this moment is not a history lesson but a map of inner state. The man who says I will follow but delays bidding farewell is revealing a double consciousness: a tug toward a past life and an openness to a dream. The kingdom of God is not a distant locale but a present state of your awareness. Put your hand to the plough means commit to a single forward direction, the I AM moving through you as your power to create. Looking back is the mental habit of rehearsing what once was; it starves the new image of breath and substance. When you align with the posture of decisive intent—assume the end, feel the wish as already realized—the internal weather shifts and you begin to live from the very state you imagine. The command to the would-be follower is, in effect: choose the inner kingdom now, and let your outer life follow. There is no return, only the forward momentum of consciousness responding to your faith.
