Awakening at the Empty Tomb

Neville's Inner Vision

Rendered in the light of the I AM, this scene is not about a body that rose somewhere outside you, but about consciousness waking to its own presence. The tomb is your old self—habits, fears, the night of limitation—and the stone rolled away is the release of a belief that life is only through the external. Mary Magdalene is the awakened state that moves toward the tomb with urgency—your longing to know the truth—while the two disciples represent faculties of mind and love racing toward the revelation. When they say, 'They have taken away the LORD,' they reveal the common mistake: believing the divine is somewhere outside to be found. Yet the true Lord is I AM within, always present, always risen. The empty tomb is the sign that the old story is finished and a new life begins in awareness. Resurrection here means the conversion of perception from lack to fullness, from fear to trust, from separation to unity with God. Hold the vision that the risen state is already real in you, and let your imagination live there until 'it is so' in you.
