The Inner Forerunner Within

Neville's Inner Vision

John's camel hair robe and simple diet are not merely facts about a man; they symbolize a mind wholly consecrated to the moment of awakening. In my teaching, the outer image mirrors an inner state. The rough garment represents raw, undistracted attention—a disciplined readiness to hear the Word. The girdle of skin marks a boundary between the old self and the active I AM that must come forward. Locusts and wild honey point to the simple nourishment of truth—the refusal to feed on familiar comforts, choosing instead the sustenance that feeds vision. When you read this, seek the inner posture it proclaims: you, in consciousness, are preparing to be used for a higher discovery. You are the forerunner to the Christ within you, cleared of ego, listening for the voice that declares Behold, the Kingdom is at hand.
