Inner Jordan Baptism Practice

Neville's Inner Vision

John’s baptism in the wilderness marks a decisive shift in your inner weather. The wilderness is the mind unsettled by fear and habit, the Jordan is the living flow of awareness moving through you when you no longer cling to the old story. The baptism is not a ritual outside you but an immersion into the truth that you are not your sins, you are the I AM behind every thought. Repentance, in this light, is the turning of attention from limitation toward the recognition of your divine nature. Remission of sins becomes the unmaking of guilt as you consent to a new center of consciousness, a belief that guilt has no real authority over the I AM. When souls from all parts of the city and countryside come to this water, it signifies that the entire self is ready to be renewed, that the old identity is ready to be dissolved in the stream of life. This is salvation as present experience, a felt shift of being where life is seen as the river of divine truth moving within you and through you, not as a distant event to seek.
