Two Thieves, One Awareness

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's view, the outer scene is an echo of inner conditions. The two thieves on either side of Jesus symbolize two habitual states of mind that cling to separation: fear and guilt, blame and justification. The cross is not a historical event only, but the moment your consciousness chooses to identify with limitation. When it is written that he was numbered with transgressors, Neville would say that you have allowed a belief in separation to join your sense of self. Yet the fulfilled law is always present: you are the I AM, the awareness that witnesses thoughts rather than being defined by them. To read this passage as a manual for inner revision, imagine stepping into the center of the cross and declaring, 'I am the I AM,' not the condemned one. See the two thieves melt into light as you revise your identity from I am guilty or I am lacking to I am whole, and feel the feeling of that reality now. The outer event reflects your decision to align with the one life—the I AM.
