Mockery as State of Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the drama, the mockery is not about a man upon a cross, but about a state of mind clinging to limitation. The priests’ cry, 'He saved others; himself he cannot save,' is the old belief that power must prove itself by suffering external signs. The demand, 'Let Christ the King descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe,' is the pattern of looking outward for evidence of reality. Neville would guide you to hear these voices as your own narrations of lack, and to answer them with the assumption that the I AM is your true power. The Christ, the King of Israel, is the inner sovereignty awakened in you, not a distant rescuer. The cross represents a fixed sense of self that must die to let the King reign. When you revise with the feeling, 'I am saved now by awareness,' the descent happens not from a hill but from the level of belief into your daily life. Your revilers dissolve as you inhabit the consciousness that the kingdom is within, and you act from that certainty in every choice.
