Inner Wall, Inner Strength

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner wall is built not by outward toil but by the conviction that the state of the finished wall exists now within you. The 'bearers of burdens' are your mental powers—thought, faith, patience—and when you feel their strength decayed and see the rubbish of doubt, you are not failing; you are simply identifying a current state of consciousness. The hostile talk of the adversaries is the habit of fear, telling you they shall not know or see until they come and slay the work. But the truth remains: you are the I AM, and imagination is the instrument by which you dwell in the end. By assuming the end—walls already standing, workers at peace, resources at hand—you revise the scene. Feel the energy circulating where there is lack, notice the debris becoming fuel, and let the sense of completion overshadow the sense of obstruction. In this inner revision, the wall is already complete in your mind, and the outer countenance follows.
