Inner Following in John 13:36-38

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter’s bravado is not a fault to condemn but a current of consciousness in which loyalty and fear contend for rulership. Jesus speaks to a higher state of awareness—where the I AM is the true doer—telling Peter that the present you cannot follow, but the higher self you aspire to shall follow later. The foretelling that the cock will crow before denial is not prophecy about a future event in time, but a signal from your inner mind that your present state will not sustain the new action. The table of Peter’s self is a stage, and the invitation is to step into a newer, unconditioned certainty. Neville's method asks you to revise the assumption that you are separate from what you desire; to accept now that you are the I AM in which you already follow. When you live from that sense, the fear softens, the old self yields, and what Jesus promises—being faithfully present in your imagined state—becomes your lived experience.
