Vows Upon Me, Praises Rendered

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, thy vows are upon me; not a distant decree, but a state of consciousness I wear as I AM. When I affirm 'I will render praises,' I am not signaling a future event; I am describing the atmosphere I choose to inhabit. The vows are the commitments of consciousness—the promises your awareness makes to itself—to dwell in the fulfilled state. To say 'praises' is to release gratitude from the heart and let it flood the scene with light. The inner movement occurs first: you revise the sense of lack by assuming the end. Then your words and deeds flow from that end as natural expressions of the I AM. Imagination is the instrument here: you imagine yourself living as the praise you seek, and the outer world rearranges to mirror that inner decree. Do not seek God somewhere else; seek Him within as your wakeful awareness. Persist in the vowed attitude, feel the reality now, and watch how the world indicates your faith has been kept.
