From Jerusalem to Rome Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul is a symbol of your own I AM, the living awareness that bears witness to truth. In the night, the Lord stands by him - not as a distant deity, but as your inner certainty nudging you to trust the movements of consciousness. Be of good cheer means settle a calm, unshakable assurance, not a vain wish. The pattern is theological only in form; the law is psychological: what you declared of me in Jerusalem - your inner center of decision - must move outward into Rome, the broader field of manifestation. Your inner Jerusalem is the axis where conviction forms; Rome is where it demonstrates. When you rest in this assurance, the same impulse that permitted your inner testimony to arise will carry you through outer circumstances. The mechanism is simple: assume the feeling that your testimony is already true everywhere you go. The night cannot thwart you; it only requests your consent to a deeper trust in the I AM, and with that trust you become the witness you already declared.
