Inner Conversion Practice

Neville's Inner Vision

Where you appear to see another erring, you are not judging them as separate from you, but recognizing an inner state of consciousness that asks for attention. James speaks of conversion as a healing motion inside your awareness: when you awaken to the truth that the other is the I AM in disguise, you reframe the 'sinner' as a part of your own awakening. The 'death' is the choking of life by belief in separation; to convert is to turn that belief toward the living reality that God is present as the I AM in all. Your conversion of another is the inner decision that you will not reinforce the old story of guilt or punishment; instead you imagine the moment of return, the turning back to unity, and you hold that image with steady feeling. In that act, you reveal and release the life that was latent, thus 'saving' the soul from death and hiding a multitude of sins by not repeating them in your own thought. The whole process is a movement in consciousness, not in time.
