Inner Inheritance On This Side

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the word 'inheritance' as your inner state rather than a piece of land. The Jordan is not a river you must cross but a boundary of attention. The people say our portion lies eastward, on this side; this is the confession that the covenant they seek is already within, not ahead. When you understand that the I AM—your own consciousness—is the only governor of your world, you cease seeking the 'out there' and start living from the end. Your prosperity, health, harmony are already present as possibilities in your mind; you simply decide to inhabit them on this side of the Jordan. Do not let the crowd's forward motion tempt you; align with the inner covenant, revise your mental state to the end and feel the reality of your possession now. Then outward circumstances reflect your inner allegiance, and your life becomes the promised land you inhabit by attention.
