The Sea-Side Call Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Levi’s place at the tax booth is not what matters; the real drama is the I AM waking within. The sea-side scene is the wide open field of consciousness where thoughts and motives surface before action. When Jesus says Follow me, the invitation is not to a new set of rules but to a new state of being. Levi rises because the inner call has become his dominant assumption; the outer role of tax-collector is reinterpreted by the inner light. In Neville’s language, vocation is a revision of self, a conscious alignment with the radiant I AM that already dwells in him. The Kingdom of God appears as soon as a man or woman accepts that inner voice as the governing reality, and obedience is simply the faithful turning toward that voice rather than toward external wages or customs. As others heed that inner cue, witness grows—not by preaching at the crowd, but by living from the inner conviction that God is the I AM, and the world rearranges itself to reflect that truth.
