Conquest of the Inner Land

Neville's Inner Vision

All the land you seek to possess is a state of consciousness, and the inhabitants are the habits you have tolerated in that state. To drive them out is not a military campaign but a change of inner posture—refusing to feed fear, lack, or doubt. The prick in the eye and thorn in the side are the bodily signs of a mental pattern you have not refused to entertain. The I AM is the sovereign you; it honors the state you hold. If you linger in a thought of scarcity or failure, your world will answer in kind. But you can reverse the procedure: assume the state you desire, revise any present memory that contradicts it, and feel it real. When you dwell in the conquered land as an accomplished fact, the law of consciousness will relocate your experience to match that inner scene. The warning is loving: change your consciousness and the outer land follows, even as the verse says, 'I shall do unto you as I thought to do unto them,' meaning your inner condition summons your outer conditions.
