Inner Salvation Beyond Ritual

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, 'they from Judaea' are a mental posture of the old law—a part of you clinging to rules to prove you are acceptable. 'Except ye be circumcised' becomes a symbol for any rite you imagine must be completed to be worthy. Acts 15:1 then exposes the conflict between the cognition that life is earned by works and the deeper truth that salvation is a present I AM awareness. In Neville’s view, the promised deliverance is not a certificate of behavior but a state of consciousness that recognizes God as the I AM within. When you identify with the inner man, you cease to seek salvation through outward performance; you revise the belief to say, 'I am saved now, not by the letter, but by the spirit of life within me.' The inner movement is an awakening to the fact that your entire sense of worth is already created by the one Power you call I AM. Feel the reality of that inner truth, and the fear that demanded ritual dissolves into peace.
