Mercy on the Road to Sight

Neville's Inner Vision

Ask yourself: the two blind men are states of consciousness, not merely men by a roadside. When they hear the Teacher is near, they cry, 'Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David,' not to a distant external figure but to the inner I AM that is the rightful king of your heart. The crowd that rebukes them represents the habit of disbelief and social pressure that would keep you quiet about your true needs. Yet their persistence awakens the inner movement of mercy. Your awareness hears the call and answers; sight arises as a return to wholeness, not by beating a path to an outer healer, but by recognizing that healing and mercy are the same reality as your own consciousness. The healing is the undoing of separation: you are the I AM, and the 'Son of David' is the inner King governing your experiences. When you hold the state of mercy as your present reality, the sensation of limitation dissolves and you are restored to seeing again. This is the Law of Assumption: hold the feeling until it is your reality, and the world moves accordingly.
