Luke 24:12 Inner Resurrection

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 24:12 speaks not of a man in history but of a consciousness waking to itself. Peter's run to the sepulchre is the soul's impulse to leave the tomb of old stories and to confront the inner evidence of life that remains when form falls away. The linen clothes lying by themselves symbolize outward appearances stripped of the life that once animated them; they are nothing more than the dressings of a mind that has not yet learned to dwell in the I AM. When Peter looks and departs, marveling, he signals the moment the mind refuses to be bound by evidence and chooses belief in what is unseen but real. Resurrection, in this sense, is the recognition that life is always alive in you now, not in a distant event. The future you hope for is present as you assume the state of Being that is already true. Practice faith by identifying with the I AM, revising any sense that life ends, and feeling the certainty of your inner life becoming manifest.
