Biblical Context

Two blind men cry for mercy despite the crowd's rebuke. Jesus stops, asks what they want, and they request that their eyes be opened.

Neville's Inner Vision

Two blind men cry for mercy; the crowd rebukes them, but the I AM within remains unmoved. In Neville’s terms, healing begins as a state of consciousness, not a miracle performed on matter. Their plea—'Have mercy'—is faith in a present possibility. Jesus’ question, 'What will ye that I shall do unto you?' is an invitation to revision, a shift in perspective. When you answer from your inner self, you are choosing the new pattern you wish to see. If you say, 'I am seeing,' and truly feel the sensation of vision already, the inner eye opens and the outer eye follows. The miracle is a rearrangement of awareness, not a change of weather; you are the perceiver and the power that perceives. By persistently dwelling in the feeling of eyesight—'I am sight, I am awareness, I am healed'—you awaken to a reality that aligns with the request. The crowd’s rebuke fades as your sovereign I AM asserts its right to be heard.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume, 'I am seeing now.' Then dwell in the felt sense of vision as if your opened eyes are already real for a few minutes.
