Inner Cross and Kingdom Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Whenever I read Luke 9:23-27, I hear the quiet invitation to awaken to the I AM at the center of all activity. The cross is not an external burden but a daily alignment of your inner self with the divine pattern you already are. Denying the old you means refusing to twist life for ego's appetite, and taking up the cross means consciously choosing a more intimate, unowned mode of being—one that follows the lead of consciousness rather than circumstance. To save your life by grasping after worldly security is to contract your energy; to lose that life for my sake is to release your hold on limitation and enter a larger reality. The kingdom of God then ceases to be a distant event and becomes a present stream of awareness you can imagine into actuality. Some standing here may doubt, yet Neville would have you know that you can see this kingdom now by consenting to the truth of your own I AM, and by practicing the felt sense of that reality until it dominates your days.
