Living Truth Within Luke

Neville's Inner Vision

I hear the sharp warning not as a judgment of others, but as a mirror held before my own mind. The prophets I am asked to honor are the higher states of consciousness I carry within—wisdom, courage, truth—yet I often bury them beneath habit, memory, and fear. When I condemn a living truth as ‘they,’ I am merely repeating the pattern of those who killed the messengers of the past. My mind builds sepulchres around new insight, hoping to keep it safe from change, and in so doing I deny the life that truth would give me now. The deed of the fathers is not in some external act, but in my unwillingness to let a new realization enter. If I claim to bear witness to truth while refusing to revise my inner scripts, I am complicit in the very hypocrisy Luke denounces. The promise is simple: awaken, let the inner prophet live, and cease worshipping the old tombs. Truth remains present in me when I refuse to defend yesterday against the living now.
