Mercy Transformed: The Inner Pattern

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Paul’s words lies a map of consciousness. The former blasphemer and persecutor are not distant events but states you once inhabited in belief. Mercy does not come by effort from an external source; it arises when your awareness shifts from unbelief to insight. The grace of the Lord, and the faith and love within Christ Jesus, are not separate from you but your own awakened faculties—faith and love as the living energy of your I AM. This is the pattern: longsuffering is the steadiness of consciousness that does not reject the old self but patiently invites a new mental state to take its place. Christ Jesus came to save sinners—the sinner is the old identification dissolving as you believe. The declaration that this is a faithful saying becomes your present conviction: you are saved by inner realization, life everlasting here and now. The boast of being chief sinner becomes the seed of transformation, proving grace fully active when you dwell in the awareness that nothing of you is beyond grace when seen with inner sight.
