Inner Remembrance as Present Truth

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter’s words are not a history lesson but a map of consciousness. When he speaks of reminding you and being established in the present truth, he is describing your ability to hold a fixed state of awareness in the I AM. The 'tabernacle' is your current form or ego-self, which you are invited to outgrow—not by denying life but by shifting attention. The near departure is a metaphor for leaving behind old self-identity, while the living truth remains; you carry it by seeing yourself already in the state you seek. To 'stir you up by putting you in remembrance' is to awaken the imagination; recall these truths until they become your habitual feeling. The present truth is not a distant doctrine but the alive awareness that you are now free to choose the state you desire. In this light, the line about reminding you after his decease becomes a pledge that your inner memory can outlast any transient circumstance. Your inner life—your I AM—can anchor these truths so they endure beyond outward change.
