Be Not Afraid: Walking On Water

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the sea as your mind in the fourth watch of fear. The disciples are states of awareness trembling before an apparent event. When they cry out, they are not addressing an external storm but a movement of consciousness: fear, doubt, need. The figure on the waves is the I AM made visible in your inner sea. It is I is the recognition: I AM awake within you, the Presence that rules your weather. God does not send fear; fear arises when you forget who you are. Jesus speaks: Be of good cheer—not to the world but to the self that refuses to be moved by appearances. Be not afraid is the revision of your thought: replace the story of danger with the knowing that you are the manifested I AM, and therefore the sea obeys. As you practice, the wind quiets, the heart rests, and you realize peace beyond circumstance. This is faith: trusting the inner Presence rather than external signs. The future becomes hopeful because the present I AM is always with you, and through that awareness you walk above the waves of fear.
