Arise Within: Plead Your Inner Cause

Neville's Inner Vision

Arise, O God, plead thine own cause is not asking a distant God to fight, but inviting your awareness to awaken and do the pleading. The 'foolish man' reproaching thee daily is the restless mind—the habit of doubt that pretends to govern your life. When you quiet the outer noise and center in the I AM, the inner God rises to vindicate itself by existing. The memory of the reproach becomes a reminder to return to the truth that you are the I AM, unassailable, the divine order in motion. To 'remember' the reproach is to recognize the habit and choose a new memory: you are the one consciousness in which all is created. The present moment becomes the tribunal where the case is decided: your awareness is the law, and appearances reflect the current mood of consciousness. Enter into this conviction and the outer world begins to align with it as you persist in the assumption that the inner government governs your life now.
