Inner Authority and Communion

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's register, the scene is not a history of a man but a drama of states of consciousness. Diotrephes, craving to be first, represents a mind-structure that must rule, dominate, and be acknowledged above the rest. 'Receiveth us not' is the inner refusal of any thought or messenger that threatens that self-image. The 'church' is the inner community of your I AM awareness—the collective of your unconditioned self that welcomes the truth you imagine. John writing is the voice of your higher discernment addressing these inner dispositions. When you entertain the sense of Diotrephes, you enact the belief that the self cannot receive its own higher truth. The cure is to reverse the state: assume you are already received by your entire being, that the I AM is the host to every part of you, including the humble and the wise. Enter that feeling of unity; let the 'preeminence' fall away as you feel the living presence embracing you, and let the inner letter be written as a declaration of wholeness.
