Bethlehem Within: Joyful Birth

Neville's Inner Vision

Lift your gaze from the external scene and listen to the inner annunciation. The angel is the I AM within you, whispering a message of audacious good news: fear not, for the great joy you seek is already present in your consciousness. When Luke speaks of a Savior born in David’s city, he is describing your inner Bethlehem—the quiet place where belief yields to awareness. The birth is not a historical event but a shift in state: the Savior is the saving idea that frees you from limitation, the Christ the Lord who reigns in your mind as the truth of who you are. To all people means this good news is available to every aspect of your life; there is no part left in darkness. Practice arises by assuming the feeling that this birth is real right now, that you are the one who awakens to a divine state that cannot be shaken by fear. In that assumption, the kingdom comes quietly into your awareness, and the sense of being saved becomes your ordinary experience.
