Birth Of The Divine Self

Neville's Inner Vision

John 1:10-13 invites you to see the world as a creation of your own consciousness, and to notice how the outer sense world often fails to recognize its source. The world’s rejection reflects habit of thinking you are apart from the divine. Yet to those who receive Him—those who believe in His name—power is granted: the power to become the sons of God. This birth is not from blood, nor of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God; in Neville's terms, it is the awakening of consciousness to its own divine nature. The inner birth is a shift in state: you are not a separate person surviving by chance, but a consciousness in which God is the governing principle of life. Your body, your relationships, your world appear patterned by this shift when you hold to it as real. Rejection becomes the old story your old self tells; reception is the inner revision of your sentence. Practice this by assuming the state: say I am the Son of God, feel its truth in your chest, and let your day unfold from that spiritual birth rather than from the old dream.
