Read Acts 1 in context

Scripture Focus

15And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

Acts 1:15

Biblical Context

Peter stands up in the midst of the disciples, a group described as about 120. His action signals a moment of leadership within the early community.

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter’s action is not a mere historical note but a map of consciousness. In Neville’s terms, standing up in the midst of the 120 is you, the I AM, arising within the circle of your own thoughts. The 120 symbolize the inner faculties aligned in unity; when you acknowledge the presence of God as the I AM, leadership comes from within, not from without. Your faith becomes trust as you cease seeking validation outside and recognize you are the perceiver and the Power. The scene of standing embodies the instant when inner self and outer belief move as one, gathering dispersed thoughts into a single, creative center. The number suggests completeness—the full circle of awareness—and Peter’s voice becomes your inner decree, directing the energy of your mind toward harmony and action.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner Peter now: imagine you stand at the center of your 120 inner disciples and feel their unity as your I AM reality. Then revise any sense of separation and feel-it-real the one Life that holds them all.
