Read Luke 9 in context

22Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

Luke 9:21-22

Biblical Context

Jesus commands secrecy about his messianic path and declares that the Son of Man must suffer, be rejected, slain, and raised on the third day. These are not only outward events but inner movements within consciousness awaiting realization.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this reading, the 'Son of Man' is your I AM, the center of awareness. The sufferings and rejection are not external events to endure but inner movements—fears, doubts, and old stories you let die. When you listen to the crowd you forget your inner authority; when you practice quietly you prepare for resurrection. The 'third day' is the moment your consciousness refuses the old ending and affirms life: I am the life that cannot die. The prohibition to tell others invites you to hold the birth of your new state in solitude until it has become certain in your heart. In this Neville-inspired practice, you do not chase events; you cultivate the state: imagine, revise, and feel it real that the I AM is the risen one, and the world follows the inward revelation into outward form.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I AM the risen Christ now.' Feel the inner state as already accomplished, and quietly observe the outer events align with that certainty.
