Inner Burial, Quiet Faith

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this event as a parable of inner life. Joseph, though faithful, acts secretly, mirroring the part of you that knows truth yet fears outward judgment. Pilate's permission is not external; it is your I AM granting the right to release the old self. Nicodemus, who came by night, brings spices: myrrh and aloes, signifying the loving action you apply to mourned beliefs to alter their form. Wrapping in linen is the quiet preparation of new ideas within the memory of old ones, a ritual that preserves truth while changing state. The garden tomb is your mind's inner sanctuary where the old self is laid to rest, and where life can mysteriously seed anew. This scene points to a transition: death to a worn pattern, burial of fear, and the onset of renewal already implicit in possibility. The lesson is to trust the I AM, to move with faith and obedience, letting the inner ritual complete its work. The practical fruit is a consciousness ready to rise into a newer form.
