Inner Departure, Inner Arrival

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, John 16:5-6 is not about a distant departure but about the shift of consciousness that happens when attention is directed to the source within. Jesus says he goes to the one who sent him, and the disciples answer the only way they know—by sorrow—because they measure life by external change. The inner fact is that the Father within, the I AM, never leaves; awareness simply changes its focus. When you accept that you are that aware being, you discover the departure they fear is merely a revelation: your sense of self is expanding toward the root of all life, not fleeing from it. The absence you mourn is the signal that you have a story of separation to revise. If you live from the conviction that you are always in the presence of the Father, you need not ask 'where' or 'whither'—you simply become more aware. The path is practical: assume the unity, feel the shift, and let the heart rest in the consciousness that the source and you are one.
