Inner Lord's Prayer Practice

Neville's Inner Vision

Recall that in Neville’s teaching, this prayer is not asking God to do something 'out there' but declaring the state you are becoming. 'Our Father' is the I AM within you; 'in heaven' marks the boundless field of awareness, not a place apart. To say 'Thy kingdom come' is to acknowledge the kingdom you are now, and 'Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven' is the alignment of your outer life with that inner order. 'Give us this day our daily bread' names the inner sustenance that flows from your right state of consciousness. 'Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors' dissolves old judgments that keep you stuck. 'Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil' invites you to remain true to your state of integrity, avoiding the streams of thought that threaten it. 'For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever' crowns the recognition that the whole show is powered by your awareness. The prayer becomes a practice of assumption, revision, and feeling-it-real until the outer world yields to the inner truth.
