Hebrews 5:7-9

Biblical Context

Hebrews 5:7-9 speaks of Jesus praying with intense supplication, learning obedience through suffering, and becoming the source of eternal salvation for those who obey.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the 'days of his flesh' as a doorway into your own consciousness. The prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears are the fierce conversations your inner I AM has with itself when the appearance of lack, fear, or death threatens the sense of life. To be heard is not a distant permission granted from above, but the moment you realize that the one who prays and the one who saves are one and the same awareness. The fear that accompanies sacrifice is the sign that you are touching the edge of true obedience—the willingness to align with the inner law rather than the ego’s preferences. Through that obedience, the state of perfection arises, and that perfected state becomes the author of eternal salvation for all who obey him—namely, all who yield to the I AM within. Your term 'death' dissolves as you accept that you are already saved by the life of God in you, and that salvation is an ongoing mode of consciousness, not a future event.

Practice This Now

Practice now: sit quietly, breathe, and feel 'I AM' as your living center; repeat, 'I am saved now' until fear dissolves. Then affirm, 'I obey the inner divine law' and notice your inner and outer world aligning with that obedience.
