Inner Death, Outer Life Realized

Neville's Inner Vision

Pilate's question is the mind asking, 'Is this old story truly dead?' The centurion's report is the inner witness that the death is already settled in the imagination. When the body is given to Joseph, a new form appears—an outer expression matching an inner certainty. In this scene the external act of handing over mirrors the inner act of permitting a newer life to take form in the visible world. Death here is not tragedy but a clearing of the old image, the moment the I AM concedes the truth of what the mind has affirmed. Your attention is drawn to the authority by which a new life comes into expression. The 'Pilate' in you, the intellectual judge, marvels, yet the decisive moment belongs to the 'centurion'—the faithful witness who accepts what the mind has decreed. To redeem this moment, dwell in the conviction that your true self, your inner Joseph, is already in reception of the life your imagination has conceived. The moment you accept that your image of life governs form, you walk in salvation and redemption here and now.
