Inside the Turning Path

Neville's Inner Vision

See the verse as a map of your inner life. 'All we like sheep have gone astray' signals your mind wandering from the awareness that you are the I AM, the living God within. The 'own way' is simply the habit of believing you are separate from that Self. 'The LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all' is a symbol: guilt and burden are not real possessions but beliefs you project onto a figure so you can notice them. When you reinterpret the scene as a psychological action, substitution becomes reintegration: you revise by claiming the I AM as your true state and transfer the burden to that state, letting go of it as a mere belief. The atonement, then, is immediate self-forgiveness by accepting oneness here and now. Your mental 'servant' is your higher Self, already free; trusting that, you cease seeking outside and awaken to the realized kingdom within.
