Inner Worship, Great Joy

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, Luke 24:52 is not merely an earthly event; it is a portrait of the state of consciousness that worship awakens. The disciples’ act of worship signals the soul’s recognition of its true identity as God—the I AM within. Jerusalem is the inner center of awareness, the city of consciousness, and their return marks the movement from revelation into lived assurance. The “great joy” is the living joy that accompanies certainty: when you are conscious of your unity with the Divine, your outward world follows with confidence and praise. Worship, then, is not a ritual toward a distant Power but the inner alignment of imagination with the truth that God is within you. This inward state travels ahead of outward change, shaping how you greet the day, your choices, and your relations. Therefore the return to Jerusalem is the practical fruit of inner conviction—a joyous relocation of the heart that makes every step sacred.
