Inherited Guilt Transfigured

Neville's Inner Vision

The line speaks in the language of memory, not of a to-be-acknowledged external judgment. Our fathers sinned and are not, which in Neville’s psychology means the former state of consciousness no longer holds sway; what remains is the memory of that state appearing as a burden in our awareness. You are not bound by their acts; you are the I AM here and now, and you can dissolve the impression of inherited guilt by choosing a new inner identity. The burden arises only as you cling to the old story of sin as a present reality. By shifting your assumption to a forgiving, unconditioned consciousness, you rewrite the script: the past ceases to govern the present, and you experience the truth that you stand in divine awareness, free from ancestral verdicts. This is the invitation of the text: turn from history toward a deliberate act of imagination, and let forgiveness and reconciliation begin in your own inner life.
