Inner Witness of the Light

Neville's Inner Vision

From the vantage point of the I AM, the verse reads as a presentation of a state of consciousness, not a biography. There is a Light within you that you are always witnessing, and John is the posture of mind that bears witness to that Light. When you say, 'There was a man sent from God,' you are recognizing a sending from your own awareness—the part of you that tests, confirms, and declares. John is not the Light; he is the messenger, the function in consciousness that makes it safe to believe. The aim is that all men might believe through this witness, meaning your belief arises when you allow the Light to be known, not as an external object, but as your own impression upon awareness. The chapter invites you to shift identification: you are the witness who testifies to the Light, thus the Light becomes present in your world. In that moment, faith flows, not from effort, but from the inner certainty that the Light already is.
