Redeemed by Imagination: Galatians 3:13

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this verse speaks not to a distant event but to the state you choose in consciousness. Christ hath redeemed indicates your awareness that you are now in the I AM, not bound to the old fear-based law. The curse is the belief in separation, the sense of guilt that says you must earn love. The cross represents a turning point in your inner weather—an imaginative act that transforms your inner disposition. When you identify with the Christ within, the curse loses its grip, for the law cannot condemn the one who dwells in pure awareness. The phrase being made a curse for us can be read as a symbolic image: you imagine taking on the old condemnation so you may cast it out of your self-image. Thus redemption becomes a revision of your inner story, not a historical punishment avoided. Your experience of righteousness is not earned but assumed; grace becomes your habitual state produced by the inner assumption that you are already loved and free.
