Inner Feast Of A Merry Heart

Neville's Inner Vision

What the proverb names as affliction is only a temporary picture drawn by a consciousness that has forgotten its own dominion. The man who keeps a merry heart is not numbing pain; he is reframing it by a new assumption. In this sense, the entire scene is your dream and you, the Dreamer, are free to rewrite it. When you dwell in the feeling that I AM is the source of all life and that this I AM is joy, the days of trouble dissolve into a continual feast. The outer circumstances do not change your inner state; you simply stop feeding the old belief that misery must be the measure of reality. By practicing gratitude, lightness, and trust in the present moment, you awaken a feast within that nourishes every moment and opens doors you did not see before. Remember, the afflicted are those who interpret events by the old clock, not by the timeless tempo of your inner I AM. So choose a merry heart, radiate that joy, and watch life rearrange itself to reflect your new center.
