Died With Him, Lived With Him

Neville's Inner Vision

View this not as an event but as a state of consciousness. 'Dying with Him' is the surrender of the old self to the I AM, the awareness that clings to nothing but the truth of being. In that inner death, you awaken to living with Him—your mind shifts into the Christ-state that cannot suffer lack. Suffering becomes the purifying fire that refines desire until it is one with the divine plan, and 'reigning with Him' is the felt sense of ruling your inner world with assured possibility. If you deny Him in thought, you reveal a split in your assumed identity; yet 'he abideth faithful' says the fundamental I AM remains unchanged, your true self that cannot deny itself. Belief is a moving river, but the source remains constant. Your life is the manifestation of the inner covenant between awareness and its world; align with the truth within and the outer fades to reveal the reign already yours.
