Open Eyes, Upright Rise

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this short verse, the blind are not mere eyes but states of consciousness that cannot yet perceive their own possibilities. The Lord opening the eyes of the blind is the I AM within you revealing what you have never seen about yourself— that you are the aware presence that can discriminate what you desire from what you fear. The bowed down are your heaviness, your beliefs about lack, delay, or limitation; the Lord raises them by shifting your mental posture, lifting the weight of past failure and attaching you to a higher line of thought. Remember, in Neville's world, God's love is not a distant act but the inner motive force of your own awareness, always toward your wellbeing. The righteous, then, are those who align with this truth by choosing a state of calm, gratitude, and creative expectancy. When you entertain this as a real condition, your imagination becomes the instrument of your awakening, and the world you see begins to change from within.
