Incense of Prayer, Inner Fire

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the smoke of incense is the living prayer you hold in awareness. The saints are your higher states, and their petitions ascend only as you inhabit the feeling that is already done. The angel who bears the censer is the still, quiet I AM within you, drawing the fire from the altar of belief and sending it forth into your world. When that fire is cast into earth, the outer scene responds with voices, thunder, and light—signs that inner adjustment is becoming outer form. But the real event is inside: as you maintain the feeling of the fulfilled wish, you loosen the old patterns and set up the new tempo of life. The earthquake is the shattering of limitation, the lightning the sudden clarity that follows conviction. Do not seek outside for power; awaken the awareness that you are God’s I AM, and the world you touch is only a visible mood of that consciousness.
