Inner Union With Christ

Neville's Inner Vision

On the level of consciousness, you are not divided from God by rules; the law is seen as an outer structure that you have outgrown. When Paul says I through the law am dead to the law, he means the old self who measured life by performance is dissolved in your awareness, so you may live unto God in the present moment. The crucifixion is a symbolic awakening: the I AM, the true self, can live in you only when you stop identifying with the outward ego and allow that life to be expressed as you. The clause 'yet not I, but Christ liveth in me' declares a new arrangement of awareness: Christ's life flows through your consciousness, not by your striving but by the inner reality you accept. The life you now live in the flesh becomes the action of God-as-you, powered by the faith of the Son of God—faith not as belief alone but as trust in the I AM that loves you and gave itself for you. Thus Galatians invites you to dissolve separation and realize the seamless presence of God within, where imagination is the instrument by which you awaken to this union.
