Lazarus Sleep, Inner Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

John 11:11, in Neville's voice, translates Lazarus as a sleeping state of consciousness within you, a part of your mind that has fallen into habit, fear, or lack. Sleep is not death but a dreamlike narrowing of awareness; to wake him is to widen your sense of life. When Jesus says, I go, that I may awake him out of sleep, you hear the movement of your own I AM rising into the dream to restore vitality. The waking is not an external event but a revision of what you accept as real. The mind chooses to feel and act as if the desired life is already yours, and the imagined scene returns to you as actual experience. Therefore, resurrection is present perception, not distant time; your inner state decides what appears. By aligning with the feeling that the thing you seek is already alive—now—you release the constraint of the tomb. Lazarus emerges when you acknowledge your inherent life and step into it with unwavering faith.
