Finishing the Inner Crucifixion

Neville's Inner Vision

John 19:28-30 is not a record of history alone but a map of consciousness. When the text says, 'After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished,' it is the I AM within you recognizing that the problem you sought to solve has already been resolved in your mind. The thirst is not for water but for the fulfillment you crave; the vessel of vinegar on hyssop is the bitter signal your old beliefs offer to an unconditioned awareness. When Jesus says, 'It is finished,' the sense of separation collapses into the unity from which all things come. The 'gave up the ghost' expresses your willingness to release the old identity and abide as the living God-present I AM. In Neville's terms, every outward event is a reflection of inner state; the cross is the moment of crucifixion of limitation, and 'finished' is the natural fruit of a fully assumed God-aware state. The practice is simple: assume the desired state as already real, cultivate the feeling of fulfillment, and let the old self dissolve in the light of your I AM.
