Inner Provocation and the Heart

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Psalm 95:8–9 as a map of consciousness. The provocation and wilderness are not external trials but inner states you enter whenever you forget that you are the I AM. When you harden your heart, you are identifying with lack, with suspicion, with the sense of separation from your own divine source. The ancestral ‘fathers’ who tempted me and proved me become your old beliefs and habits that test your present awareness; they demand proof of your realized nature. But seeing my works means recognizing the truth that the moment you choose to claim the I AM as your sole reality, the inner demonstration begins. The heart softens as you refuse to argue with your lack and align with the idea that the kingdom is within. Your tests do not come to punish you but to awaken you to your power to create by attention and assumption. So revise your mental weather: declare that you are already the state you seek, feel it real, and let the outer world reflect that inner covenant.
