Inner Witness of Mark 15:40

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville’s vantage, the scene in Mark 15:40 dissolves into a map of inward states. The women who watch from afar are not mere spectators; they symbolize parts of your consciousness held at distance from the living present. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and Joses, and Salome represent faculties of memory, devotion, and instinct that have not yet merged with the center of your being. The outer crucifixion you read about is the old belief system dying away; the real wound is the distance you have allowed between your awareness and the events of your life. The Presence of God—I AM—abides behind every mood and scene, awaiting your invitation to become the immediacy of experience. To claim faith, you need not search outside; you revise your inner assumption: I am the witness here, I am the I AM, and I am present now. When you feel separated from what you desire, imagine those watchers turning toward you, not as an ending but as an invitation to awaken to your future, which already lives in your inner present.
