Candle On The Inner Candlestick

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage the candle is your own awareness. The bushel or bed you fear is the mind's resistance; yet nothing can remain hidden from the living I AM that animates you. When you hear the call to hear, you are not listening to external voices but setting the frequency of your inner state. The law spoken by Jesus is the law of consciousness: the measure you mete to messages is the measure by which reality returns to you. If you cherish the inner light and treat it as constant, you invite more light; if you withhold or doubt, you dim the lamp and lose what you think you lack. Therefore attend to the inner listening and revise your state with the feeling of the wish fulfilled. The terms hath and hath not refer to your possession of awareness, not outer fortune; provide your inner lamp with a steady candlestick, and your world will reflect the brightness you allow. Practice is the bridge between revelation and manifestation: what you assume in imagination becomes outward sight.
