Storm to Quiet: I Am Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's method, these lines reveal a state of consciousness more than a doom in time. The affliction and the terrors are pictures projected on the screen of your mind, movements of a belief that life is other than the I AM. When you read that wrath and waters encircled you, remember you are the observer, not the victim; awareness is the only true theater, and it can revise the seen world by its activity. Your true self is the I AM, the permanent presence that does not change with fear. By shifting allegiance from the sensation of being cut off to the truth that you are always held in the I AM, you dissolve the impression of distance. The mind, not circumstance, writes the drama; you can turn the page by imagining the conclusion you desire. Imaginative power creates reality; the moment you refuse to identify with the storm and instead dwell in the I AM, the currents of distress lose their grip. What remains is the quiet awareness that can carry and redefine every scene of suffering as a passage toward a greater unity with the divine within.
