Inward Counsel and Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your own consciousness, the 'thou' is another state of you — an equal in the I AM, a guide and companion of your inner world. When you recall the sweet counsel and the march to the house of God, you are witnessing the harmony of inner faculties moving as one. Reality, in Neville’s teaching, is imagination in action; the apparent friend who stood beside you is an inner attitude you have trusted. If that inner state seems to falter, remember that God is the I AM behind all appearances, and you may revise what looks like betrayal by re-identifying with the one Life that animates every state. The house of God is a state of consciousness in which all parts walk in unity—peace, trust, worship, love. So you claim: I and this companion state are one in God; I walk now with Him in the company of the divine. Through this revision, the scene becomes inner harmony rather than external loss; your imagination then yields a fellowship that cannot be broken.
