Emmanuel: God With Us Within

Neville's Inner Vision

All the words of the prophet point not to the inner state that is being fulfilled now. The virgin birth in the story becomes a metaphor for the birth of a new idea, a fresh realization, within the thinking mind—the moment when you acknowledge that the I AM, awareness itself, is present where you are. Emmanuel, being interpreted as God with us, is the recognition that the divine presence does not dwell apart from you but as you, here and now. Therefore, the fulfillment spoken of is your inner conviction that life, love, and power are not elsewhere but within your consciousness, available to be consciously realized. When you assume this presence, you revise your sense of separation, and the world begins to reflect the truth you hold: God with us. Practice this as a constant posture of awareness, and you will notice a birth of harmony, insight, and action that speaks from the mouth of the I AM.
