Inner Procession of Praise

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the procession not as people on a hillside, but as states of your consciousness moving in harmony. The singers are the affirming thoughts that declare, I AM awake to my divine reality. The instruments are your feelings, the creative powers of imagination that carry these truths into form. The damsels with timbrels are the delicate intimations of joy, the rhythm that keeps your attention present. When one part leads and another follows, you witness the order of inner movement: belief leads action, feeling follows thought, and together they create a scene of divine presence within. In this light, worship is not a ritual apart from you but your entire inner atmosphere: you become the procession, and the procession becomes your sense of I AM. Practice by assuming the feeling of being surrounded by music of your own unity, and let the imagined chorus precede and the felt instrumentation follow, until your daily life reflects this concert of consciousness.
