Shadow of Time, Inner Reality

Neville's Inner Vision

In the silent theatre of your consciousness, the verse is a reminder that the outward world is a shadow cast by an inner light. Man’s days appear to vanish because you have identified with a changing image, rather than with the I AM that never sleeps. The psalmist speaks of vanity, but you know vanity is simply a structure of mind, a notion that time governs life. When you assume the state of I AM-ness, the sense of time as a tyrant dissolves; you awaken to the truth that awareness precedes all phenomena. Your life is not the pulse of a fading body but the constancy of awareness that witnesses the passing shadow. Make the shift: close your eyes and imagine that the days you fear losing are only pictures in the atmosphere of your mind while you, the watcher, remain unchanged. Feel that your inner state creates the appearance of duration and change. The shadow passes, but you remain, the I AM, unbound by yesterday or tomorrow. Let this revision solidify: you are the reality behind time, and every moment is an invitation to re-enter your own endless now.
