Enduring Presence Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the 'I' narrates a season when life seems to falter and the outer conditions shorten the days. Neville-style reading sees this not as a punitive fate but as the mind’s movement toward a new alignment. The 'he' who weakens me is not the external judge but the old identification with a fleeting body and time-bound life. In truth, the I AM which you are does not suffer fatigue; it merely experiences the movement of attention from timeless being to transient form. When the psalmist says 'thy years are throughout all generations,' it is a reminder that your real identity spans all ages—the eternal constancy behind every breath. The apparent shortening of days reveals the opportunity to turn attention away from limitation toward the everlasting presence. The cry 'take me not away' becomes a declaration: let the awareness that never ages govern my days. Embrace that your consciousness is the continuum that outlasts any momentary event, and let imagination align with the truth that God is within, not apart from your life.
