Mark 14:27-31 Inner Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider these verses as a map of your inner weather. 'All ye shall be offended by me this night' marks the moment when your sense of self-as-you-are is struck by a story that seems to contradict your proven security. The 'shepherd' is your center of consciousness—the I AM—that sometimes feels struck by the waves of fear and confusion, scattering your faculties into many moods, as if your sheep were dispersed. Peter's boastful vow is your ego clinging to the old agreement that you must prove yourself by struggle; the cock's crow is the signal of time when old beliefs betray you. Yet the verse that follows—'after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee'—speaks directly to your inner truth: no matter the scattering, your rising is already accomplished in consciousness. When you negate denial with the certainty 'I am risen,' you realign to the inner current that goes before you to your Galilee—the place of wholeness in which all discord is resolved by awareness. Your job: assume the end; feel the already finished state of steadiness, and let revision replace fear.
