Rising With Christ: The Above Life

Neville's Inner Vision

To be risen with Christ is not a future event but a state of consciousness you inhabit now. The I AM within you, Christ in you, sits at the right hand of God as your awareness, not as a distant person. When you choose to seek the above, you deliberately align your inner weather with that reality—feeling that your life is already lived in union with divine life. The old self, dead, is the old story you tell about yourself; your true life has been hid with Christ in God, awaiting the moment you take this fact as your present glance. As you dwell in that awareness, appearances in the world rearrange to reflect the inner state. When Christ, who is your life, shall appear, that appearance is your own awakening to glory, here and now in your experience. Practice the inner revision: assume the state, feel the reality of above-thinking, and let your outward world conform to it. The Kingdom of God is within, and you are the catalyst of its appearing by steady faith and the felt presence of the risen life.
