The Cleansed Vessel Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter's vision is a mirror of the I AM within you, friend. The foods that once signified defilement are but symbols of beliefs you have held about yourself. When the command 'Rise, Peter; kill, and eat' arises, it is the awakening of consciousness to act upon its own imaginal state—to consume old stories and feed on the reality you have imagined. The repeated 'What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common' is the ruling idea: God’s cleansing is ongoing, and any division you place between what is allowed and what is excluded is a product of a mind that still thinks in separation. In Neville's terms, the vessel (your body and mind) is being lifted up into heaven—the higher harmonies of awareness—when you align with the truth that all creation is holy because it is embraced by the I AM. The Gentiles becoming part of Peter's circle is the inner admission that every facet of your being is included in the one consciousness. The shift is not about external rules but about redefining what is 'clean' and 'unclean' within you.
