Death Destroyed Within You

Neville's Inner Vision

See death as a misperception of your own consciousness. The verse names the last enemy as the belief in separation from life, yet your I AM, your awareness, stands beyond it. When you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled—that you are the unbounded Life that never ends—the belief in death loosens its grip. Imagination creates reality, so dwell in the image and sensation of ongoing life here and now, until the inner landscape shifts and what you called death becomes a doorway to greater living. Do not fight death as a thing out there; dissolve it by inhabiting a state of wholeness, the sense that Life is one, present, and undivided. As you remain in that awareness, the apparent last enemy falls away and you awaken to the truth of your continuity.
