Genesis 3:22 Inner Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 3:22 is not a history lesson but a map of inner psychology. 'The man is become as one of us, to know good and evil' marks a shift in consciousness: you have identified with a separate self and with moral distinctions, thus you now know contrast. This is not a fall punished from without but a turning point inside your awareness. The warning about the tree of life reveals that immortality is not earned by external access but by living from within the Tree of Life—the abiding life of God as your I AM. In Neville’s teaching, the 'fall' arises from misrecognition: you think you are a limited self seeking life, when you are Life itself. When you revise by taking on the assumption 'I AM the Life within me; I live by God’s aliveness,' the external conditions dissolve and the inner tree bears fruit. Begin to inhabit that I AM now, and the knowledge of good and evil becomes the wisdom that guides you, while the living presence of God is your eternal reality.
