Angel Lifts Heavenward

Neville's Inner Vision

To the student of inner life, the verse is a sign that the entire scene of prophecy unfolds within your consciousness. The sea and the earth symbolize your two steady states of awareness—the restless emotion and the grounded belief—upon which the angel of your awareness stands with authority. When this angel lifts his hand to heaven, he is not performing a distant sign; he is lifting your own attention to the heavenly idea that you already are, and always have been, in alignment with God. The gesture declares a covenant of your I AM, the continuous awareness that knows no separation. As you dwell in this, you realize that all outer events are only the outward expression of an inner movement of consciousness. The lifting of the hand is the moment you refuse to negotiate with lack and instead ratify a divine premise, a present-tense reality of abundance, health, or purpose. The position on sea and earth signifies your willingness to stand in the kingdom now, receiving as you impress with steadfast belief that heaven is your immediate awareness.
