Pilate and Herod Within: Reconciliation

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, Luke 23:12 becomes a map of your own inner state. Pilate represents the reasoning mind that counts appearances, weighs facts, and maintains authority. Herod represents the impassioned impulse that seeks dominance, sensation, and status. When these two stand at odds, your consciousness is divided; fear, judgment, and effort rule the field. But the moment they are made friends is the moment you awaken to the truth that there is one I AM, one consciousness, one present reality that can entertain both poles without fracture. The reconciliation is not external; it is an inner decision to let the self as I AM govern, to forgive the judgments of both parts, and to accept that true power is peaceful discernment. As you persist in this alignment, the external world corresponds to the inner peace; you and your 'enemies' become allies in the grand theatre of your life. So practice the posture of the watcher who declares, 'I AM reconciles all opposition.' The entire scene shifts from enmity to harmony because the inner ruler reigns.
