Carrying to the Inner Burial

Neville's Inner Vision

Acts 8:2 speaks of Stephen's body being carried to its resting place and the people giving expression to their sorrow. In Neville's lens, the figures are not men with shovels but states of consciousness bearing a truth to final rest. The burial is the moment when an old belief about yourself—perhaps fear, limitation, or the sense of lacking—takes its place in the tomb of awareness. The great lamentation is not pity but the release of attachment, the emotional energy needed to unhook from the past and invite a new consciousness into wakeful life. Remember, God is the I AM within—unchanging awareness that witnesses every event. The crowd's tears are the feedback of the subconscious mind, acknowledging that the old story has died so that the living truth can emerge. Stephen's exit from the scene illustrates the necessity of letting forms pass while you steadfastly maintain faith in your one presence. By envisioning the burial of a limitation, you open the space for the omnipresent good to appear in your world.
