Godly Sorrow to Inner Salvation

Neville's Inner Vision

Godly sorrow in this scripture is not a punishment but a waking of awareness. It is the inner movement of I AM turning toward its own realization, so that repentance becomes a change of state, not a change of past events. When you sense godly sorrow, you are being summoned to awaken from the illusion of separation and to accept that salvation is the already-present consciousness in which all experience occurs. The sorrow that the world teaches—its guilt, regret, and lament—drains the life-force and fixes you in a negative scene. In Neville terms, you are invited to ceaselessly revise the inner scene until it is seen as complete and irreversible. The 'not to be repented of' becomes a declaration that this inward turning is permanent, because the I AM does not undergo a future recovery; it rests in the truth that you are already saved by consciousness. So, cultivate the feeling of being now in the state of salvation by aligning imagination, faith, and a quiet, grateful awareness.
