Enduring Through Inner Plows

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember, beloved, that the 'they' who afflicted are not persons outside you but states of consciousness. From your youth you have worn the sense of limitation, but no contrary claim can prevail against your I AM, the awareness that you are. The furrows on the back symbolize thoughts that have engraved themselves in memory, yet they do not define your being. In the presence of your inner I AM, the images of victimhood lose their power. You do not argue against them; you revise by assuming a new experiential fact: 'I am the alive, unbound, unharmed I AM.' Feel the reality of this I AM now, and let the past be absorbed into its light. As you dwell in the now where God is, every speculation of affliction is clarified and consumed. The more you inhabit that inner sight—the consciousness that never changes—the less any external pressure can prevail. The psalmist's experience is merely the memory of a mind that forgot its own sovereignty; your memory can be rewritten by the present awareness that you are, and always have been, the I AM.
