Spirit Liberty and Image

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scripture, the 'Lord' spoken of is the Spirit within—the I AM you consistently ignore when you identify with the body and its troubles. When Paul says, where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, he is telling you that liberty is a state of consciousness, not a condition of weather or circumstance. The glass or mirror is your attention; when you behold the glory of the Lord within, you behold your own divine nature. Do not look outward for change; keep your eye on the inner radiance and let your sense of self shift. As you continually rest in that vision, you are transformed—gradually, from glory to glory—by the Spirit: your inner image is renewed until your outer life reflects that upright image. This is the practical application of salvation: you remain in the awareness of your true I AM, and the world adjusts to your renewed consciousness, one degree at a time.
