Cup and Kingdom Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Assume the cup as the atmosphere of your awareness. The thanks Jesus offers is the grateful recognition that your mind already carries the fruit of life. When he says, Take this, and divide among yourselves, he is teaching that the state of consciousness must be shared—made common in your inner world so the kingdom can manifest within. The kingdom of God coming is not a distant event but the moment your attention honors a new reality: you are the I AM, the ruler of your inner weather, deciding what the cup will mean. The cup and the wine are not external things; they are meanings you attach to your inner states. The vow not to drink of the fruit until the kingdom comes is the discipline of allegiance to your higher self, resisting appetites that keep you from present realization. In the act of sharing, you declare consciousness as life and the kingdom as your ongoing, present truth in imagination and awareness.
