Saul's Inner Light Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Saul in this scene is your stubborn mind resisting the inner call of the I AM. The sudden light is not a distant event but the moment awareness breaks into the condition of your thinking, shattering the darkness of separation. When the voice speaks, 'I am Jesus whom thou persecutest,' it identifies the indwelling life with the very thing the old self denies. The friction of 'kick against the pricks' is your resistance to transformation; every argument against the guidance only tightens the grip of the old habit. In that instant the question arises, 'What wilt thou have me to do?' and the answer is not a plan from without but a directive from within: 'Arise, and go into the city.' The city is the inward kingdom of your consciousness, where you will be told the next step you must take. Notice how the companions hear a voice but see no man—your outer world mirrors inner states, never the source of change. Saul rises and, although his sight is lost for three days, a new vision begins: the old identity is re-scripted by the I AM into a mission of light.
