Inner Alignment and Transformation

Neville's Inner Vision

In this inner reading, 'God gave them up' is not punishment but a signal that a certain state of imagination has become dominant. The verse points to the moment when the inner argument, the sense of separate self, saturates the mind until what was natural appears contrary to its true nature. The 'vile affections' are the by-products of imagining oneself apart from the I AM, of insisting that sensation equals truth. When you live from the conviction 'I am this limited self,' you produce fevers of fear, longing, and misalignment—these are your inner weather, not an external decree. The remedy is simple in the Neville method: assume the state you desire as already present. Draft the image of your life as the one you want, feel it as real now, and awaken to the awareness that consciousness creates form. As you revise, the natural use returns—your feelings align with the divine order, and the inner weather shifts toward harmony.
