Inner Foot-Washing: A Love Service

Neville's Inner Vision

John 13:12-15 invites you into the psychology of humility. The act of washing feet is not a ritual performed on others; it is a symbolic cleansing of your own reactions by the I AM that you really are. When you call the Master and Lord, you acknowledge a higher state of consciousness within, and that state lowers itself to serve. This is the exact meaning of leadership: to be useful, to remove obstruction, to place love before self-importance. In Neville’s terms, the neighbor is a projection of your inner world, and the washing is the act of revising your state until you recognize unity. See yourself as the doer and the done—the same I AM acting as servant and as ruler. Your imagination creates reality; therefore, imagine yourself in a scene where you humbly wash another’s feet, letting in the warmth of divine love and letting pride dissolve. When you assume this state, you experience a shift in relationships as the inner state becomes outer form.
