Inner Prophecy of Unity

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as an inner forecast, the high priest's words are not about Rome or Israel alone but about the state of consciousness you are harboring. 'Dying for the nation' represents the old sense of separateness that must yield to a new I AM awareness which contains all. The 'nation' is the collective ego you have believed to be separate from God; the sacrifice is the letting go of that belief. When he says 'not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered,' he reveals the inner movement toward unity: disparate fragments of identity are drawn into one consciousness, a single family in God. The disciples' dispersion is your own sense of distance from the divine; the gathering is the felt realization that you are already one with God and with every soul. So the prophecy becomes a practice: rewrite the scene in your mind as a present-tense unity, and feel the birth of oneness as the living reality.
