Desert Place of Quiet Power

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this: hearing distress, Jesus withdraws into a desert place apart—the mind’s quiet that allows awareness to remain untouched by outward disturbance. In Neville terms, the desert is a state of consciousness, not a location; it is the I AM listening to itself. The pursuit of the crowds mirrors the busy thoughts and identifications that clamour to define us after tragedy. Yet in that inner retreat, the Presence is not absent but intimate, and action flows from the awakened sense of I AM. When you rest in that inner solitude, you are already witnessing; you become the living proof that God’s kingdom is within. The mission and witness spring from this seated assurance, not from reaction. Your world will reflect the steadiness of your inner state, and the following crowds become opportunities to share what you have discovered: the quiet, unassailable unity of all beings in the I AM. Your reality shifts as you inhabit that truth, and service follows as a natural expression of it.
