The Inner Cross of Devotion

Neville's Inner Vision

What you read as loving father, mother, son, or daughter is really a picture of your inner attachments. When you place any image or role above the I AM within, you declare unworthiness of the dynamic Self that seeks to express through you. The cross is not a wooden burden but a mental habit you refuse to release; to follow the I AM is to shift allegiance from outward identities to the consciousness that is always present as I AM. To find life, you must lose the ego’s claim to security; to gain it, identify with the awareness that existed before form. In the inner kingdom, images become events as you consent with imagination to the I AM filling all you call world. Your relationships and status mirror your current state—revise them by aligning with the I AM as your sole ruler, and observe life rearrange itself to reflect that truth. The moment you accept the I AM as the deepest you, your external world follows as a natural expression of that same life.
