Awakening to Divine Sonship

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the verse speaks of a present state of consciousness, not a distant event. When it mentions appearing, it points to an inner revelation: the divine image within you waking to be seen as real. The 'we shall be like him' becomes your inner alignment, a likeness achieved by the renewed seeing of your true self. The hope described is not mere aspiration but the magnetic energy that pulls your attention back to that state, and with that pull purification begins. Purification is not punishment; it is the shedding of fear, limitation, and the sense of separation as your awareness rests in the truth of sonship. As you dwell in the awareness that you are already the child of God, your thoughts, feelings, and choices reflect purity. Your external life becomes a mirror of the inner image you accept. Thus the appearance of Him is the inner recognition that makes all things conform to the divine pattern within you.
