Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the God you seek is not distant but the I AM, the very awareness that witnesses and creates. When I read 'lift I up mine eyes,' I teach you to shift attention from appearances to the heaven-dwelling consciousness you are. The heavens designate a state of being, not a place you look at; by choosing that state you invite Providence as your intimate guide. Your prayer then becomes recognition: the divine presence already governs your thoughts and scenes, and faith is the settled feeling that your desires are true in consciousness, ready to appear. As you dwell there, you need not chase outcomes, for the inner sight rearranges outer events. Do this now: close your eyes, assume you are in the I AM, and feel the heavenly gaze directing your day, knowing guidance arrives as you maintain that felt reality.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, imagine the I AM as the heavens within you, and say, 'I lift my eyes to the I AM in me; I am guided now.' Allow a simple outcome you desire to feel already real, and let this awareness lead your next step.
