Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 24:20-21 speaks in a language of inner states. The chief priests and our rulers who delivered him to condemnation and crucifixion stand for the voices in your mind that judge, condemn, and imprison your new idea. When you hear their accounting, you are hearing the old self's story about what salvation should look like. The line, 'we trusted that he would redeem Israel,' is a confession that you once believed redemption depended on an outer agent or event. The 'third day' marks a turning point in your inward weather: a shift from waiting for a future rescue to recognizing the I AM as the present active redeemer. In this reading, 'Israel' is your inner nation of awareness, and its redemption is the awakening of a single, united consciousness. The crucifixion is the surrender of the old identity to give birth to a new one. Do not look for salvation outside; discover that the inner Redeemer, the I AM, is already redeeming all things here and now. When you align with that truth, the sense of separation falls away and a new Zion arises within your mind.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat, 'I AM the Redeemer within; this consciousness now redeems.' Feel it arising as a present fact for a few minutes, letting the old story die and the new one take root.
