Inner Freedom Amid Persecution

Neville's Inner Vision

From the vantage point of consciousness, the king's decree and the prison are not external tyrannies but inner states we either accept or revise. The days of unleavened bread signify a cleansing of the ego, removing the leaven of fear from the heart. The 'four quaternions of soldiers' are the fourfold guards of habit, doubt, and belief that keep a seed suppressed. Peter embodies the higher self, the immutable truth of being that cannot be finally imprisoned. When the mind abides in the I AM, the Easter drama—freedom from limitation—emerges as lived reality. Providence and guidance appear as the inward moves of consciousness that rearrange appearances so the imprisoned truth can be brought forth to the world. The outer world does not rule you; your inner state does. The moment you rest as the I AM, the wall of limitation dissolves and life answers from within, fulfilling the inner plan you already bear.
