Gird Your Mind, Embrace Grace

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter's counsel is not external duty but an inner discipline. 'Gird up the loins of your mind' means cinching your awareness to a single, creative intention and refusing to be dragged by stray fears or lower images. When you 'be sober,' you clear the stage of distraction, letting the I AM stand guard over your awareness. The 'hope to the end for the grace' is the inner expectation that your consciousness will awaken to the grace already present as your true self; the 'revelation of Jesus Christ' is the moment when your inner vision recognizes that Jesus is the Christ within—your awakened state. Grace is not a reward to chase but an inner light you realize by consistent assumption; it comes at the moment your attention holds the end, not the lack. Therefore, you are not told to seek elsewhere, but to align your mind with that end and let the revelation unfold as you persist in feeling it real. Imagination creates reality; the inner act of feeling the end is the living of the end.
