Faith Unblocks Forgiveness

Neville's Inner Vision

All that stood between the man and healing was the stubborn sense of limitation. The friends’ effort to reach Jesus is the active movement of belief within your own mind, climbing through the appearances of noise and time. When Jesus says, 'Man, thy sins are forgiven thee,' He is not bestowing a favor from outside; He is awakening you to the truth that forgiveness is your intrinsic state of consciousness—the I AM you are identifying with. The crowd and the rooftop symbolize outward conditions and the stories you tell about yourself; yet the instant your faith for the unseen is present, the inner governor of your life dissolves the barrier and you rest in the awareness that misalignment with your I AM has been reconciled. Thus salvation is not a distant event to obtain; it is a revision in your mind that lets the body follow the new state. The visible miracle mirrors the inner shift: the healed man rises because your inner I AM is finally acknowledged as true.
