Inner Sight Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the scene in John 9 as a parable of consciousness awakening. The man born blind is your old self, the identity that says, 'I cannot see,' a belief rooted in separation. When Jesus says, 'open mine eyes,' he speaks as the I AM within you, the enduring awareness that simply knows. The healing is not about medical sight; it is the recognition that your inner vision has already been restored by your true nature. The disciples and the scribes represent the mind clinging to tradition, to Moses as the source of authority—the part of you that trusts another's interpretation rather than direct revelation. They say, 'We know not from whence He is,' which is your refusal to own the source of your own insight. The sentence 'Now we know that God heareth not sinners' is a reflection of your former belief that truth is distant; to worship the Father and do His will is to align with your inner, intuitive guidance—the quality that hears, the state whose will is one with divine intention. When the healed man declares his experience, he is teaching you that seeing is a state of consciousness you can assume. To be cast out from the old religious self is to be welcomed into the liberty of sight.
