Inner Heavens Through Wisdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that the 'heavens' are inner states of consciousness, not distant skies. The verse tells you: by wisdom you created the heavens; the mercy of your I AM endures forever. In the Neville sense, mercy is the unchanging tenderness of awareness that never leaves you, regardless of appearances. If a scene seems stormy, revise it by acknowledging that your own imagination fashioned the sky you inhabit. The moment you assume a new state—'I am the wise narrator of my world'—you rewrite the setup, and the old heavens dissolve into a more harmonious atmosphere. Do not seek to fix outer conditions; awaken to the fact that you are the author, and your inner discernment is the steersman. The greater truth is that your I AM, acting through wisdom, creates order out of chaos, and mercy endures because awareness itself is unchanging. Hence, the present moment is already heaven when seen as the product of wise imagination and compassionate, persistent faith.
