Inner Rebuke, Outer Salvation

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene as a quiet drama played in your own mind. Satan is not an external adversary but the habit of doubt that arises when you forget the I AM. The Lord who rebukes is the I AM within you, the awareness that says this is my mind, this is my life, and I am awake. Jerusalem is the state of consciousness I have chosen to acknowledge as mine—holy, set apart, protected by the decree of awareness. When the Lord rebukes Satan, He does so by reminding you of your rightful ruler ship over the inner theatre; the brand plucked from the fire is you, saved from the furnace of fear by the strength of your own attention. The vision tells you that the fear is only a movement of consciousness, not a fact about you. The moment you refuse the accuser and dwell in I AM, the scene changes: you are not condemned but re-affirmed; you are free, guided, and secure. This is the spiritual psychology: your reality follows your assumption when you feel it as real here and now.
