Crucify the Flesh, Live in Spirit

Neville's Inner Vision

To know yourself as Christ's is to crucify the flesh with its affections and lusts not by denial, but by clear identification with a higher state. The flesh, in this sense, is a stream of reactions—desire for praise, possession, comparison—that keeps you tethered to illusion. Living in the Spirit means dwelling in the one unchanging I AM, where every sensation, thought, and impulse is observed rather than owned. Walking in the Spirit is a practical translation: let your daily acts, decisions, and words proceed from that inner decree rather than from fear or vanity. When you feel envious or crave vain glory, you are simply witnessing a momentary dream; restore attention to the Spirit, revise the impression, and declare your oneness with the enduring light. By persistently living from the state of awareness that you are, you become that state in expression; your life aligns with truth, and the former cravings fade away as you walk openly in Spirit.
