Neville's Inner Vision

Take Psalm 100:2-5 as a map for inner life. Serve the LORD with gladness becomes the discipline of feeling your own I AM shining as joy and expectancy, a decision you make and feel real in this moment. Come before his presence with singing: let your inner voice rise in praise as if you already stand before the presence you desire. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. In Neville's terms, the creator is your awareness, not an external force; you exist within the field of God and are tended by a benevolent consciousness. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. This is a habit of consciousness, a revision that makes gratitude your natural state. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations: this is the unchanging law of your inner life, always true, always available.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM as your present reality, then revise any lack into fullness by stepping into your inner gates with thanksgiving and dwelling in the felt sense of praise for a minute.
