Feast of Inner Wisdom

Neville's Inner Vision

By this proverb the inner banquet is offered: not a meal in time and space, but a shift in your state of consciousness. The bread I am invited to eat represents the steady nourishment of correct belief; the wine I drink is the joy that follows when I affirm what I desire as already mine. Forsaking the foolish means leaving behind the habits of the old self and its anxious, fragmented scripts. I live by the way of understanding when I rest in the I AM that I am, recognizing every event as a movement within my own awareness. When I imagine this invitation fulfilled, I am rehearsing the technique of feeling it real. The banquet of wisdom is within my imagination; to partake is to align my inner climate with the truth I claim. The contrast between folly and understanding dissolves as I persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, until it becomes my ordinary state and shapes my life from the inside out.
