Inner Farewell and Sacred Prayer

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul's farewell in Acts 20:36-38 is not a scene in time alone; it is a map of consciousness. When he kneels and prays with them, you glimpse the moment you turn within to the I AM and acknowledge nothing but Presence. The weeping and the kissing are not merely outward emotion; they reveal the inner movements of a mind releasing its belief in separation and clinging to an old face of life. Tears become the release valve of old conditions; the kiss echoes the unity that already exists in the Presence. Their departure to the ship stands for the sense of distance that imagination can dissolve; in your inner theater, you and Paul stand together aboard the ship of awareness, moving beyond limitation. The larger truth is this: presence, unity, and a felt future arise entirely through an inner act of assumption, accepting, in the I AM, that the next scene is already yours. Every farewell you experience is a doorway to a greater circle of consciousness, where God is not out there, but within you as your own I AM.
