Solitary Prayer on the Mountain

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the Gospel narrows to a single truth: the crowd you must quiet is within your own heart. When Jesus climbs the mountain and prays, he embodies a state of consciousness—awareness resting in the I AM, not in changing weather or crowds. The mountain is not a map place but a height of attention, a deliberate withdrawal of outward sense activity that makes you feel small and separate. In this inner space, the world’s clamor cannot touch the steady center you truly are. Your prayer is not begging but recollection of the fact that God is the indwelling presence. By ascending, you align with faith, trust, and the still, intimate voice that assures you all is well in the one life you inhabit. As you maintain this inner posture, you discover you are where God is—one conscious being, always alone with the I AM, and therefore never truly alone. Practice calls you to linger in that inner room until the sense of separation dissolves and your ordinary day is rearranged by the reality of divine presence.
