Mind of Christ Within You

Neville's Inner Vision

Here you are told that the mind of the Lord is not a distant mystery to be solved by outward acts, but a state of awareness you already inhabit. The apostle contrasts human inquiry with the quiet certainty that your own consciousness bears the Christ structured mind. Your sense of self will tell you what you can or cannot know, yet the truth remains: you are the living embodiment of divine discernment. When you realize that the same consciousness that animated Jesus animates you, you stop chasing external instruction and begin listening inward. Providence becomes a gentle alignment of feeling with the fact that you know what to do, not by force of argument but by inner conviction. This is the discipline of truth: faithfulness to the established state of Christ within, which is steady, loving, and wise. In practice, you shift from questioning to assuming, from lack to the felt reality of wisdom available now. The mind of Christ is not outside you; it is your present awareness, shaping perception, choice, and destiny.
