Mount of Inner Death and Gathering

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the mount as a state of consciousness you ascend to in awareness. Die here means surrendering the old self-concept that maps the world by separation. As you ascend, you let go of anxious striving and consent to the I AM’s presence within. 'Be gathered unto thy people' becomes the inner gathering of your true faculties—faith, hope, love, unity—welcoming you back into the company of your divine kindred, the inner chorus you join when the vision is fulfilled. The parallel with Aaron and Hor shows that each old state fulfills its part and yields to a broader life. This is resurrection in consciousness: a turning from lack to wholeness, from fear to fellowship with God. Practice this now by assuming you have died to the old self on the mount and that you are gathered with your inner assembly; feel the certainty that you are home in God.
