Becoming the Inner New Creature

Neville's Inner Vision

To the thinker of images, 'in Christ Jesus' denotes the state of awareness rather than a place. Circumcision or uncircumcision are mere symbols of outward measure; the sole criterion of your being is the inner state you assume as true. The 'new creature' is the awakening of consciousness—the I AM that no longer lives by old rules but by the present imagination. When you imagine from the end, you do not chase rites; you align with the truth that you are already the Christ in form, a living present tense. The moment you assume and dwell in that assumed state, you revise the story you have believed about yourself and feel the reality of the fulfilled condition. As you persist in that inner movement, consciousness births new forms in your world while old identifications dissolve. You are not being remade by external ceremonies; you are discovering what you already are: a new creation authored by your own awareness, here and now.
