Inner Life Of Sin And Prayer

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses speak not to distant history but to states of consciousness. Sin is not a crime in a ledger but a belief of separation from Life. When you are born of God, that belief falls away; the 'wicked one'—fear, doubt, and the sense of isolation—breaks its hold because you dwell in the I AM. The 'sin unto death' is the stubborn conviction that life can be lost; there is nothing to pray for in that case, for prayer is the reviving of the life you already possess. Your brother's 'error' is a picture in your own mind, not distant punishment; your true work is to assume the life of God as his life, to revise the image until it feels real that he lives in the I AM as you do. This is not coercion but alignment with the one Presence. As you rest in that oneness, unrighteousness dissolves and the two become one.
