Inner Confession, Outer Light

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the lines do not report punishment for sin, but the possibility of a shift in the inner state. The man who says, 'I have sinned' is not exposing a fact about God, but naming a stale pattern of consciousness. God, the I AM, does not judge; He observes your awareness. When you admit you have perverted that which was right, you are simply confessing a stale condition in your own inner life. Yet the promise remains: deliverance from the pit is at hand, and life will see the light, when you align with the truth that you are more than this old thought. The 'light' is awareness, the 'pit' is a belief in separation or limitation. By changing your inner posture—out of self-condemnation into the acceptance of your divine nature—you invite the mercy of life to reveal a new arrangement of events within your mind. The moment you treat this confession as a revision of your state, you become the observer of old conditions and the cause of their dissolution.
