Inner Ascension in Acts

Neville's Inner Vision

The ascent in Acts 1:9-12 is a turning of the mind from outward appearances to an inner reality. The cloud is the mist of ordinary sense-vision, while the two men in white are the inner faculties of discernment and imagination, signaling that your focus has shifted. To gaze upward is to cling to the old state; to hear that this same Jesus will come in like manner is to know that the witnessed state can be repeated whenever you assume it and feel it now. The disciples’ return to Jerusalem represents carrying a newly awakened inner posture into daily life—the world is not left behind but transformed by the heightened consciousness you cultivate. The event becomes a rule: when you hold to the I AM, your outer world reflects your inner state, and future happenings arise from that state. Practically, you are invited to shift your inner posture, assume the feeling of the fulfilled state, and let the outer world answer from the conviction you maintain.
