Inner Propitiation for All

Neville's Inner Vision

See that the verse does not place forgiveness outside me; the propitiation is within my own consciousness, the I AM in me. The seeming sins of the world are but appearances in a mind conditioned to separation. The Christ within is the restoring force, the inner I AM that reconciles every breach. When I awaken to the fact that 'he is the propitiation for our sins' refers to my own awareness, forgiveness becomes a revision of memory and feeling, not a past event. The universal scope—'not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world'—invites me to extend the inner peace outward until every conflict is touched by the quiet of oneness. My imagination becomes the instrument through which this harmony is demonstrated. I live from that propitiatory state now, imagining the inner temple where every fault is forgiven and replaced with love, and I watch the outer world respond in kind as a visible sign of what I believe about myself.
