Inner Return of Divine Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, 'Return, O LORD' becomes a call within the self. The LORD is not a distant power asking patience, but the I AM- awareness that you are. How long signals the stubbornness of old states of consciousness that forget you are always present. To 'repent concerning thy servants' is to allow your belief in separation to shift, to let forgiveness rewrite the tale you have been telling about yourself. The servants are your inner faculties—memory, imagination, feeling, and choice—each waiting to be welcomed back into alignment with the one life you call God. When you hold the wish for return as a present-tense certainty, the inner climate changes; anger, fear, and distance dissolve into the mercy you are. You do not plead for God to change; you awaken to the truth that the I AM within is always returning you to itself. The new posture is quiet, assured, and merciful; the moment you assume that return has come, the entire field of experience shifts to reflect that inner harmony.
