The Inner Lord Awakens Action

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene the Lord is not a distant figure but the I AM within you, the present consciousness that recognizes itself as God. When that recognition—spoken by the beloved disciple—arises, your outer self instinctively responds. Peter’s action, securing his garment and leaping into the sea, is the inner mind clothing itself with purpose and rushing toward the fulfillment of its nature. The nakedness of Peter represents a moment when you forget the Self; the act of girt-ing the coat signifies awakening to your true covering, confidence born of knowing you are seen by the Presence. The sea stands for life’s flux, the appearances you navigate. Casting into it is a surrender to the inner guidance that now governs outward feeling and deed. Your real task is to align with this inner Lord immediately, letting obedience and faithfulness follow from the conviction of I AM here, now, within you.
