Brethren: Unity of Sanctifier

Neville's Inner Vision

There is but one I AM present here—God in you, God as you. Hebrews 2:11 reveals that the sanctifier and the sanctified are of one essence, so the word brethren denotes a current state, not a distant label. The sanctifier is not an external being but your inner awareness that consecrates life by revealing unity. When you feel the act of sanctifying, you are dissolving the illusion of separation and recognizing holiness as your natural condition. The holy and the human are therefore two aspects of the same Self, speaking as one life. In daily life—your family, your work, your community—you are already joined in the same divine body. If you revise your sense of self from 'I am striving to be holy' to 'I am holy and united with all,' you awaken to oneness with others. Practice this by silently assuming the state of unity and letting the feeling flow: I and the sanctifier, I and my brethren, are one now.
