Inner Pathways of Providence

Neville's Inner Vision

Your goings, your steps, are the movements of the LORD within you. The 'I' you call self is not the author of your next step; the I AM is. When you try to understand your path with the mind alone, you are attempting to map a mystery that is inwardly guided. The moment you acknowledge that inner movement as the truth of your present experience, you dissolve the sense of separation between thinking you control and the divine control that animates every act. Providence is not a distant decree but the ongoing feeling of alignment in your consciousness. Thus, you must not seek external signs to validate what the I AM is doing; you must assume its reality and feel it as real now. When you revise doubt and dwell in the sensation of being guided, your outward circumstances begin to rearrange to reflect that inner direction. The path need not be understood before you walk it; it is understood by the one who walks in unity with the Lord within.
