Living Sacrifice Practice

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the mercies of God are not distant favors but the shifting of your own awareness into a new identity. To present your body a living sacrifice is to refuse to identify from the old story and to awaken as the state you desire to inhabit. Your 'body' is the outward expression of an inner state; holiness is not a rule you perform but a consciousness you dwell in. When you imagine from the I AM—the deep, unified awareness that you truly are—you offer every act, sensation, and circumstance to the divine, not as subjection but as alignment with the divine pattern. 'Acceptable unto God' becomes, in Neville's terms, acceptance by your own consciousness of the ideal you intend to become. The 'reasonable service' is the natural consequence of living from the truth of your consistent, new self. Do not seek permission from outside; instead, cultivate the inner conviction that you are already the holy instrument through which light manifests in form.
