Not Far From The Kingdom

Neville's Inner Vision

To see this in the inner light, consider that the kingdom is not a distant place but a state of awareness you cultivate. When Jesus commends the discreet answer, he is pointing to the power of precise inner attention: your consciousness is already at the door, waiting. 'Not far' is a message to the I AM within you: you are nearer than any measure you seek. The true distance is the gap between saying and feeling, between belief and conviction. If you will stop arguing with the idea of separation and choose to dwell in the one presence that you are, the kingdom reveals itself as your immediate experience. Your imagination is not creating something new; it is reclaiming what is already true: you are the I AM looking at Itself through consciousness. As you align your inner state with ultimate truth, outer appearances rearrange to mirror that order. So, cultivate the habit of assuming the presence of unity, revise every lack with a definite sense of fullness, and feel it real until it saturates your thoughts and breath.
