Inner Return: Luke 15:28-30

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this parable the two sons are states of consciousness within the I AM. The elder brother clings to merit, saying, I have served thee all these years, and yet I am unseen, which is the belief that love must be earned. The prodigal’s return is the inner movement toward grace—the realization that life is not punished but received. The father’s coming out to the elder son is your higher self meeting your fallen self with mercy, inviting you to leave the sense of separation and enter the feast of wholeness. When you hear the elder’s complaint, treat it as a signal from your own mind: you are still negotiating your value rather than accepting your inherent worth. The moment you assume a new state — unconditional love, forgiveness, and oneness — the senses align: you feel the welcome, you see abundance as already yours, and the ‘calf’ of joy becomes your daily bread. Mercy is not granted from outside; it is awakened by your inner revision and the feeling of being already loved.
