Inner Escape in John 10:39

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the scene is not mere history but a drama of consciousness. The crowd’s effort to seize Jesus represents attempts of outer circumstances to define you; yet Jesus escapes because the I AM within does not consent to the dream of limitation. In Neville’s language, Jesus is the state of awareness that cannot be held by any hand of fear or persecution. When you identify with that I AM, you slip free from the sense of capture even while the world presses in. The pursuit is not in a street, but in your thoughts; the escape is a turning of attention from the threat to the truth you are, here and now. Your real protection is not safety from men, but the unassailable consciousness that imagines the situation as it should be. So the 'they' are only appearances in your inner cinema, and your liberty is the act of reentry into the one reality you consciously inhabit: the present I AM, freely aware, already delivered. Practice this by returning to awareness that you are the I AM and choosing the feeling of being intact and unbound.
