The Inner Beginnings of Sorrows

Neville's Inner Vision

To the Mind that dwells as I AM, outer wars and earthquakes are vivid images of inner warfare and tremors in belief. Jesus words do not foretell the destruction of the world, but the dissolution of an old state of consciousness that clings to separation. The end is the birth of a new, unified sense of self; the beginnings of sorrows are the early signals your old thoughts resist dying. When you hear of wars or feel shifts in fortune, you are not to panic; you are being invited to reinterpret the scene from your inner throne. Nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom mirror opposites within your own mind, the tug of competing desires, the crash of familiar identifications, the quake of limiting stories. The famines and troubles are the soul hunger for a higher nourishment, awareness, love, and alignment with the I AM. By holding a new assumption, you endow the moment with possibility; you choose the peace that is already yours in imagination, and that is what makes the world around you gradually reflect this inner reality.
