Read Matthew 5 in context

Scripture Focus

8Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Matthew 5:8

Biblical Context

The verse declares that purity of heart causes the perception of God. It points to an inner state where truth and desire are aligned, allowing divine seeing.

Neville's Inner Vision

Blessed are the pure in heart becomes a statement about consciousness. In Neville's fashion, purity of heart is not the absence of fault but the steady condition of single-minded awareness. When you refuse to entertain conflicting images and you dwell in the alignment of your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with the I AM, you begin to see God not as external but as the light and presence within your own knowing. Seeing God is the natural outcome of a heart undistracted by judgment and fear; it is the mirror in which the truth of being appears. The kingdom is within; every thought and feeling is a movement of consciousness, and purity keeps those movements gentle and true. Thus, you are invited to persist in the assumption that you are already the I AM, and that your pure heart reveals that reality to your sight. The more faithfully you practice this inward vision, the more the outer world aligns with the inner vision of God.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place your hand on your heart, and assume you are already pure in heart; feel the I AM presence illuminating your inner sight. Then revise any belief of lack by letting that feeling linger until perception shifts and God within becomes your experienced reality.
