Inner Presence in Mark 15:34-36

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe how the cry Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani is not a history lesson but a heartbeat of consciousness. In Neville's terms, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' becomes the moment you think you have fallen from the I AM, the instant a fixed sense of separation seems to obscure the presence of the Father within. The crowd’s whisper that he calls Elias and the vinegar offered to test deliverance are projections of your habit of looking outside for salvation. Elijah represents a higher state of awareness you have yet to realize as yours; the onlookers are your conditioned thoughts, busy with appearances and delay. Your true deliverance is not coming from without but arising from within the conviction that the I AM is the entire theatre. The ninth hour is not a time on a clock but the moment you decide that the inner monarch is still present, that you are, right now, inseparably with God. When you stop seeking proof in the outer scene, you feel that you never were forsaken.
