I Am Heard, Fear Removed

Neville's Inner Vision

I do not seek a distant deity; I awaken to the I AM within, calling it the Lord. When I turn my attention inward, I am heard by the immediacy of awareness. The fear I wore as a garment melts in the heat of realized presence, for fear is but a thought given weight by attention. To seek, in this sense, is to shift states, not chase a person or event. By resting in the conviction that the inner state is heard, I catalyze the response the psalmist names: relief, release, deliverance. The outer trouble is a reflection of an inner posture; when I identify with the almighty I AM, I am no longer at the mercy of fear. My perception changes, and what I once dreaded appears as a dream dissolving in light. Practically, I choose the state of being heard and delivered, and allow the feeling to confirm it as real. The imagination, rightly directed, draws the promised outcome into present experience.
