End of Foes, End of Memory

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, you must see that the so-called enemy and the ruin it wreaks are not outside you but are pictures in the theater of your own consciousness. The words 'destructions are come to a perpetual end' announce the truth that once you cease feeding the old drama with attention, its energy dissolves. The destruction of cities and the memorial of their memory refer to habitual structures in your inner life—fearful memories, worn-out beliefs, and stories you have mistaken for reality. In the higher sight, the I AM, your awareness, stands unshaken; all events arise from it and return to it. When you affirm, 'destructions are ended,' you are not requesting a future change but declaring an ongoing state. You imagine the abolition of the adversary as already accomplished and feel the reality of a renewed inner city of peace, justice, and order. The outside world lawfully follows the inner vision. Practice: dwell in the acknowledged power of your I AM and let the memory of opposition perish in your renewed awareness; the world reveals what you have assumed.
