Power, Witness, and Ascension

Neville's Inner Vision

All the chapters of Acts are but your inner states moving to a new conviction. When he says you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost comes upon you, this is the moment your awareness lights up. The Holy Ghost is your alive, listening I AM, the inner sympathy that quickens your imagination. Witnessing me in Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the earth is simply the widening of your inner life from the small circle of identity to the totality of your being. The ascent—the lifting up of Jesus—speaks of your inner ascent beyond limitation; the cloud that receives him from sight is the shifting of attention from form to the formless, from memory to present awareness. The two men in white apparel are your inner guides, reminding you not to gaze outward but to recognize that the return of Jesus is the realization of your own unconditioned self. When you believe here, you have already experienced the end you seek; the event is your own awakening, now.
