Inner Goodness and Boundaries

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God as a description of your own inner weather. Behold your own I AM, the steadfast awareness that contains mercy and discipline as two faces of the same One. On them which fell, severity denotes the fear-filled states of consciousness that have wandered from the one I AM; toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness denotes the continual flow of life when you persist in that state. Otherwise thou also shalt be cut off represents the moment you withdraw from the inner alignment and feel separation; yet you can reverse it instantly by returning to the I AM. The verse invites you to accept inner movements—not resist them—so you may remain in the field of grace. Your life is the fruit of your assumption; make the assumption “I am in the goodness of God now” and hold it until it becomes your sense of self. If fear arises, revise: “I am the I AM, and I dwell in the divine good now.”
