Neville's Inner Vision

To the I AM within you, these lines say: the inner works you acknowledge are not vague dreams but the very power by which you shape your life. God hath shewed his people the power of his works as a call to awaken to the fact that your consciousness, not external luck, writes your heritage. When you understand that the works of your hands—your decisions, your imaginative acts, your feelings—are verity and judgment, you awaken to the law that governs creation: all commandments are sure because they spring from the unchanging you. They stand fast forever and ever when you act in truth and uprightness, because truth is the alignment of your inner state with the I AM. Redemption comes as you realize you are already redeemed by awareness; the covenant is the ongoing assurance that your being is kept by divine law. Holy and reverend is the name you honor within, the reverence you pay to your own I AM presence. In this view, heaven on earth is the natural result of dwelling in consistent inner truth and faithful imagination.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume you are the I AM, and declare, 'I am the power by which all things are made.' See the inner works moving within you, creating the outcome you seek, until it feels inevitable.
