Inner Union Through the Cross

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the two are not nations but opposed states of mind within you—separation and oneness, fear and faith, lack and fullness. The cross is the method by which you are willing to let these halves die to their enmity and rise as one body in the I AM. When you read 'reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross,' hear it as a command to your own consciousness: you reconcile the factions within by the assumption that they are already one. The I AM, God within you, transfigures the split into unity; the enmity is slain by the light of awareness that never divides. Practice pervasively: refuse to feed the picture of division; instead, feel the unity of your being as the very body through which God dwells. In this, you are not improving a situation but awakening to your true nature—one body, one life, in whom all is reconciled.
