Inner Body and Resurrection

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the belly and its meats as the old world of appetite, a state of consciousness that says, 'I am my sensations.' Paul’s words strip that illusion: the body is not for indulgence but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. In Neville’s terms, the Meats-for-the-belly line marks a prior condition that dissolves when you know yourself as the I AM, the awareness in which all things are created. Your true self imagines through conviction, and the so‑called appetite answers to the impression you hold about yourself. If you insist on separation between body and divine intention, you keep the old corpse alive; if you claim that God dwells in you and that both raised up Jesus and you are powered by God, you invite a resurrection of your present sense of self. The power is within your state of consciousness, not outside in a future event. Therefore, revise your assumption: the body is the Lord’s temple, and the Lord is the body’s life. By this, you walk in the reality of fulfilled resurrection here and now.
