Christ's Suffering, Your Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the phrase is no distant event but a drama played within your own consciousness. 'Christ' is the state of awareness you become; 'the just for the unjust' is the shift of your inner man from fear, separation to radiant oneness. The 'suffering' is not punishment from without, but the letting go of old identities—the ego's guilt and limitation. When he 'hath once suffered for sins,' you are invited to end the old pattern by drawing the higher self into dominance. 'That he might bring us to God' is the inward ascent toward the I AM, the God within who harmonizes every part of you. 'Being put to death in the flesh' signals the death of the former outer attitudes; 'quickened by the Spirit' is the inner life awakening, a new consciousness waking through faith in the unseen but present reality. Your work is to assume this reality now, revise conditions from lack to abundance, from fear to love, until you feel yourself already in God's presence. The awakening is not distant; it is your present transformation when you choose it.
