Daily Death, Eternal Rise

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul's protest is not a mere doctrine but a practical instruction for the inner self. When he says 'I die daily,' he invites you to release the old self—its fears, memories, and limits—and awaken to the I AM within, which never dies. The 'beasts at Ephesus' symbolize inner storms: doubt, habit, and scarcity-thinking that would keep you bound to a future doom. If there were no resurrection, the logic would cradle a life of appetite and despair: 'let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we die.' Yet in Neville's terms, the risen life is a present psychological reality, not a distant event. The dead rising occurs the moment you accept a new inner state and live from that state now. Thus every moment of attention, imagination, and revision is death to the old picture and birth of the new. You are the living consciousness imagining itself into form; the material world reflects the state you entertain, so rise within and behold the world align with your awakened self.
