Belief as Inner Salvation

Neville's Inner Vision

Mark 16:16 speaks to an inner drama. The 'believeth' is not merely assent to a doctrine but the turning of attention to the I AM within. 'Baptized' is the imaginative cleansing of the self-concept, a moment when you immerse your identity in the awareness that you are already one with God. To 'be saved' is to remain in that steady consciousness of your true nature, not a future event, but a present state of unity. 'Damned' becomes the idle voice of fear when you resist this inner light; it is simply the imagination dimmed by doubt. Neville’s reading invites you to couple belief with an inner baptism—an intentional revision of your sense of self—so that your outer experiences reflect the wholeness you allow in your mind. When you assume the feeling of I AM as your permanent state, you shift every scene you encounter, because consciousness creates form. The law is not external punishment or reward, but the alignment of your inner state with the truth of your being.
