Inner Reproach, Divine Mercy

Neville's Inner Vision

To the seeker who feels the world shake its head in judgment, remember that in truth the scene is a drama played on the screen of your own consciousness. The 'they' who reproach you are not apart from you; they are your own inner voices of limitation, arising when you forget the I AM and identify with lack. When you cry, 'Help me, O LORD my God: save me according to thy mercy,' you are not petitioning a distant deity, but awakening the mercy that already resides as your true self. Mercy here is not a rate of pity from without; it is the irresistible gravity of your own consciousness toward its original state of grace. If you will, lean into the feeling of being saved by grace now, as your natural condition. As you dwell in that state, the external reproach fades, replaced by the assurance that you are already beloved, already protected by the I AM.
