Receive The Self, Reap The Reward

Neville's Inner Vision

To receive you is to recognize the state you are already in. The text says, to receive a prophet is to receive the prophet within, and to receive the righteous man is to acknowledge the righteousness resident in your own mind. In the language of consciousness, persons are occasions, not strangers; events are movements of your inner weather. When you affirm a disciple, you align with the I AM that sent all power through you; when you honor a righteous one in the name of righteousness, you confirm the constancy of your inner faith. The cup of cold water offered to one of these little ones is a symbol of the generous impulse that issues from your present state; such small acts reveal the vastness of your inner treasury. Rewards here are not trophies handed by a distant power, but the immediate sense that your inner awareness is real, that God - the I AM - is awake in you, and the world responds accordingly. Your practice, then, is simple: dwell in the feeling that you are already received, and watch as outer scenes rise to match that inner acceptance.
