Inner Comfort for Mourning

Neville's Inner Vision

Matthew 5:4 invites the inner disciple to discover that mourning, properly understood, is a doorway to comfort. I am the I AM, the awareness in which you live, and mourning is a moment of consciousness you have identified with. It is not the external loss that God approves of, but the shift in your inner state. When you say 'I am mourning,' you seal a reality in imagination; when you revise that image to 'I am comforted now,' you invite the eternal presence to take its rightful place within you. The promise 'they shall be comforted' is the law of your consciousness: by turning attention from the scene to the feeling of being upheld by the I AM, you awaken to a state that quietly undoes sorrow. Do not resist feeling; rather, feel differently by repeating the new assumption until it saturates your feeling. In this light, comfort is not a distant reward but the natural outcome of faith in your inner God.
