Inner Friendship Amid Adversity

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the verse as a map of consciousness. A friend who loves at all times is not a person but your steady state of awareness—love, unwavering, present in every thought and feeling. The brother born for adversity is the inner ally that arises when you accept the I AM as your only reality; adversity is simply a signal inviting you to revise your state. When you insist that you are loved and complete in this moment, you awaken the inner brother who can shoulder the weight of any test. Relationships in the outer world reflect this inner state; change the inner condition and the outer scene follows. Do not seek loyalty in others outside yourself; cultivate the feeling of constancy within, and the outer friend becomes inevitable. So you choose now to embody a consciousness that loves at all times and stands ready to assist in difficulty because that is what you truly are, the I AM aware, forever.
