Inner Hearing, Unchanging Courage

Neville's Inner Vision

To the you who seeks from within, this verse whispers that the I AM is listening to every movement of your inner state. 'God shall hear' is not a distant punishment, but the awareness that your own consciousness hears every signal of fear, pride, or stubborn sameness. The phrase 'abideth of old' points to an unchanging aspect of self, a stubborn wall of habit that thinks it can endure life without the living inspiration of God. Yet 'therefore they fear not God' reveals that such fixedness breeds a forgetfulness of the Self that you truly are. In Neville's language, you are the I AM, and your present state imagines your world into being. When you cling to an unchanging stance, you tell the inner God you do not need guidance, and you block the influx of life. The correction is simple: assume a state of living awareness - call it the unchanging I AM - and feel it real now. As you do, the inner hearing shifts, afflictions become invitations to revise, and a more spacious, fearless order arises from within.
