Inner Economy of Grace

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice the vineyard as your inner life and the workers as your alternating states of consciousness. The penny is the realization that you already possess the state you seek—the feeling of 'I am' being satisfied now. The eleven o'clock hirees represent awakening to grace at any hour; the first-hour workers symbolize a fixed self-image that believes more is due for longer effort. The Goodman of the house, the I AM within, dispenses the same measure to all because grace is not parceled by time but by consciousness. When you murmur, 'These last have wrought but one hour,' you are judging from a limited sense of justice, forgetting that the source of supply is your own awareness. The law is generous: imagination shapes reality, and abundance arrives when you stop counting hours and start counting your inner state. Dwell in the feeling that you are already the recipient of your penny, and you shall see the outer form shift to match your inner revision. The gentle mercy is to radiate the belief that others have already been given their due by the same I AM that gives you yours.
