Mark 11:18 Inner Opposition

Neville's Inner Vision

Within every mind there are the scribes and priests—cautious verdicts, old laws of fear—that hear a new truth and cry to suppress it. When you awaken to a higher doctrine, your inner authorities tremble, for they know they must yield to the living idea you now accept. The astonishment of the multitude is the sign that your consciousness has shifted; the 'doctrine' they marvel at is simply a fresh state of consciousness you are choosing to inhabit. You are not battling persons; you are witnessing inner forces reacting to your new assumption. The I AM, your true self, is not threatened by opposition; it uses opposition to reveal itself as wish fulfilled in imagination. To transform this scene, identify with the truth that you are the living word, that the old fears dissolve when you treat them as mere signs of your old state, and you revise your inner script accordingly. When you quietly assume the new doctrine as already real, the inner scribes lose their power, and the crowd of circumstance follows your inward decision.
