Inner Unity Amid Divisions

Neville's Inner Vision

When you read Paul’s words, understand that the 'church' is the theater of your own consciousness. The 'divisions' are competing pictures within the mind, and the 'heresies' are false beliefs masquerading as truth. They exist to reveal the quality of your inner state: which belief is truly aligned with the I AM, and which must surrender. The statement that there 'must be also heresies' is not a prescription for quarrel but a diagnostic—once you consistently identify and revise the appearances that split your mind, the unity of your authentic self is proven. In this framework, 'they which are approved' are those whose imagination has been disciplined to choose unity over fragmentation; the apparent conflict becomes the means by which you witness the one life of God within you. So shift from fear of division to the recognition that all is God in expression, and your inner church stands as one.
