Acts 3:2

Biblical Context

A man crippled from birth is brought daily to the temple gate named Beautiful to beg; the scene marks a visible need at a sacred threshold.

Neville's Inner Vision

Acts 3:2 presents a beggar at the gate as a state of consciousness called Lack, carried by habitual feeling. The Beautiful Gate is your present awareness, the threshold you pass when you imagine yourself in alignment with the I AM. The alms you seek from others mirror the inner gifts you grant yourself by claiming your true supply; when you fix attention on the inner I AM, you stop looking outward for change and begin to receive from within. The disciples are the faculties of perception that recognize the truth you live; their alms are the blessings that arrive when imagination is true to your inner state. The command is not to beg but to revise the inner state to feel already supplied; as you dwell in the consciousness of fullness, the 'lame' self moves, stands, and walks in newness of life, here and now.
