Inner Redeemed Servants

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the text speaks of you in the language of the inner life. You are not a stray or a separate self; you are one of God's servants, chosen and redeemed by the great power and the strong hand of God, which is the power of awareness within. The words describe your state of consciousness: redeemed, included, protected, guided by an unseen force that you can acknowledge and cooperate with. In Neville’s terms, the 'great power' is your I AM—your ongoing consciousness—and the 'strong hand' is the disciplined attention that hooks your imagination to that I AM. When you accept that you are belonging to God, you release fear and move into a liberated, merciful posture toward life, surrendered to grace and favor. The 'people' become your present circumstances and associations, transformed by this inner record. By dwelling in this truth—redeemed by the power of consciousness—you align outward conditions with the inner state, proving that deliverance and salvation begin in imagination and end in experience.
