Beside Himself: Inner Reality

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the crowd and the family as not separate people but inner voices within your own consciousness contending with a new act of awareness. Jesus embodies the I AM, the unconditioned awareness that chooses form to express truth. When others declare you are mad, recognize their verdict as a product of their current state of feeling, not a universal fact about you. The only reality is the inner state you presently assume. Therefore, recall and maintain the present-tense certainty that you are whole, clear, and in perfect alignment with your divine purpose. If you revise this image, the outer scene shifts; the so-called pressure loses its weight as your inner posture remains steady. The scene of not eating becomes a symbol of turning away from mere appetite for social image toward nourishment of consciousness itself. Rest in the I AM and let outer movements reflect that inner truth. As you hold to that timeless sense, the 'beside himself' verdict dissolves into a gentle echo, and unity returns to the center of your being.
