From Ignorance to I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice Proverbs 30:2-3 as the soul’s admission of a current state of consciousness, not a verdict on your real nature. ‘I am brutish... I have not learned wisdom, nor knowledge of the holy’ speaks to a mind dimmed by doubt. In Neville's terminology, this is a beautiful invitation to claim a different state. The I AM within you is untouched by such self-judgment and can be brought to light by a deliberate assumption: that you are already wise and holy. When you imagine yourself as the very wisdom you seek, that imagined state becomes your present, and your outer life tends to reflect it. So long as you say 'I lack,' you remain in that lack; choose instead to feel and affirm, 'I am the wisdom I seek; I am the holy within me.' The contrast between ignorance and wisdom collapses when consciousness chooses. Humility and meekness are not weakness; they are the doorway through which you enter the sanctified self you have always possessed. The verse thus becomes a guide to discipline of attention, a turning of the I AM toward its own perfect knowledge.
