Rising Beyond Stones

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene the outward drama—the stones, the crowd, and the conviction of death—speaks to a deeper inner theater. The true Paul is the I AM within, an unwavering life that fear cannot pierce. The stoning is only an appearance, a projection of a consciousness momentarily forgetful of its own wholeness. The disciples encircling him form the circle of awareness, the internal chorus that remains loyal to life. Then, as if in answer to that inner faith, the risen energy returns to expression; he rises, not by mortal means, but by revived recognition of I AM. The journey to Derbe shows the mission is not contingent on outer safety but on inner certainty that life is continuous. Neville teaches that imagination creates reality; the moment you acknowledge the I AM as your reality, you dissolve the illusion of death and step forward. Let this scene instruct you to revise your perception whenever you feel crushed by circumstance and to act from the assured life within.
