Footwashing as Inner Humility

Neville's Inner Vision

View the scene as a drama of consciousness. The 'He' is your I AM, the center of awareness that lowers the ego to serve. By laying aside his garments and taking a towel, he signifies setting aside the old self-image—identity tied to pride and separation—and choosing to move in humble service to the whole. When you imagine Jesus washing the feet, you are washing away stale beliefs, old judgments, and the crust of self-importance. The towel becomes your willingness to touch every part of your mind with love, to acknowledge the worth of each fragment rather than dominate them. This is not merely an external ritual; it is a revision of your inner disposition. Leadership becomes gentleness; power becomes mercy. The I AM does nothing with force but works through love, cleansing the inner senses until you see the world as your healed body. Your neighbor is the same divine self, and to serve him is to serve God within.
