Inner Resurrection and Public Witness

Neville's Inner Vision

To read these verses is to witness a drama of consciousness. The crowd gathering represents the attention of your mind drawn to the lifted state—Lazarus within, the life Jesus speaks into form. The resurrection of Lazarus is not a distant event but your own inner awakening: a buried 'you' comes forth when a higher awareness asserts itself. The chief priests, anxious to destroy Lazarus, symbolize thoughts of lack and fear that want to erase a life that is already alive in you. Yet the line 'many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus' declares the victory of inner trust: when you entertain belief in the I AM, you convert perception, and appearances yield to the reality of your awakened self. The outer scene, therefore, is mere footage of an inward move—a shift in consciousness from doubt to faith, from fear to love, from death to life. Trust that you are the one who resurrects; nothing can suppress the living state that you harbor as your own Being.
