Inner Watchfulness Now

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the coming of the Lord is not a calendar event but a shift in consciousness. The hour is the present moment in which the I AM asserts itself. The goodman of the house is your state of awareness; when you inhabit the awareness that never leaves you, you are awake to the arrival of the divine within. If you drift into doubt or distraction, the outer events may seem to fall into confusion, just as a house is broken when the watch is neglected. But you can revise by returning to the feeling of being fully attentive to the inner presence that you already are. See the thief as your old habit of separation—fear, habit, stale outcomes—and let the spiritual watch become your habit. Stay in the posture of readiness by living as if the Son of Man has already come, by assuming your desires are present, by lifting your consciousness into the hour of its realization. Persist in that inner mood until it materializes in your world.
