Retaining God In Mind: A Neville Lens

Neville's Inner Vision

Romans 1:28 speaks to a state of consciousness rather than a distant fate. When you do not like to retain God in your knowledge, you suspend the I AM within you and invite the mind that cannot discern what is proper. The “giving over” is not God abandoning you, but the natural result of living as if awareness is elsewhere. If you accept the premise that God is everywhere as your true identity, then you are never handed over; you simply return to a state of recognition. The work is inner: assume that you are already conscious of God as your true identity, feel that presence with steady tenderness, and revise every thought that says otherwise. As you dwell in that divine state, the mind that once seemed depraved loses its grip, and what you call judgment or improper action dissolves into clarity and right alignment. Remember: presence is not a place to reach but a state to be realized now. Your outer life follows your inner recognition of God in knowledge.
