Inner Sight and Accusations

Neville's Inner Vision

When I meet John 10:20-21 in the theater of mind, I see the crowd as states of consciousness within me. The accusation 'He hath a devil' is not about Jesus as a man, but about a belief in me that truth must come with struggle; 'he is mad' is the nervous, restless thought that resists illumination. The other voices saying 'These are not the words of him that hath a devil' represent the discernment of the inner I AM that recognizes when a new sight is opening. The miracle of the blind man’s eyes is not an event happening to an external figure, but a shift in perception produced by a change of belief. If I hold to the old premise that I am bound by limitation, I will interpret every sign as evidence of my 'devil.' But if I align with the I AM—the solid, aware presence that sees—I witness the inner healing: the eye is opened by the same consciousness that sees. The outward world mirrors the inner state; the 'devil' cannot open eyes, for the eye is the I AM that already sees.
