Inner Departure, Unity Unveiled

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, 'they went out from us' is not about others leaving a church, but about parts of your own consciousness stepping away from the hold you gave them. If you still believed those others were the source of your happiness, they would remain; their exit shows what you actually trust in your inner I AM. The 'us' is your continuous, unbroken sense of being, your unity of life—the immutable you who never truly leaves itself. The people or circumstances that seem to depart are simply shifts in the dream of your mind, revealing that your sense of unity has been conditional, dependent on a projected outer circle. When you revision and dwell in the feeling that only your I AM remains as real, the separations dissolve; you awaken to an inner state that is constant while appearances alter. Use this as a practical test: your inner circle may change, but your core I AM is unchangeable, and all events are movements within that living awareness.
