Rising After Falls: Inner Righteousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the scene as a drama within your own consciousness. The dwelling of the righteous is the sanctuary of your I AM, the steady, waking awareness that never abandons you. When you hear the 'wicked man' plotting, recognize fear, doubt, and habit trying to invade your inner peace; do not feed them with attention. Instead, close the outer door of distraction and return to the sanctuary, for spoiling the resting place is merely a story you tell yourself and one you can revise. The 'just man' is not a distant man but the aligned state of your being—the Imago Dei made visible in your awareness. You may fall, but you do not fall out of your true nature; you fall into a temporary dream and then awaken, seven times or seven hundred, into the same unchanged I AM. Remember: the wickedness of fear cannot prosper where the mind dwells in God. By continual imagining, you restore the end in the present: you rise, you rest, you rise again, and your life unfolds from that invincible center.
