Hearing the Beloved Voice Within

Neville's Inner Vision

In my reading, the cloud is the aura of conscious awareness surrounding you. The voice from the cloud is the I AM speaking within you, declaring your true nature and inviting your attention. 'This is my beloved Son' becomes the realization you can claim now: you are the beloved self, the perfected state God already approves. 'In whom I am well pleased' is not a past verdict but a present alignment you choose to inhabit. 'Hear ye him' is instruction to attend your inner teacher—the living idea that governs every thought and image. When you hear that inner voice, the outer cloud and crowd fade, and you experience a quick transfiguration of your sense of self: confidence grows, fear dissolves, and clear direction arises. The change is immediate in consciousness and persists as you persist in living from that inner authority.
