Inner Beheading and Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened I AM, this scene is not history but a mirror of your inner kingdom. The king’s swift command to behead John is the moment your old self yields to a higher certainty. The executioner is a decision in consciousness, saying that a certain belief cannot stand in the light of your true nature. The beheading in the prison is the cutting away of a fixed identification—the sense that you are bound to a single story of lack or danger. The head carried on the charger and given to the damsel and mother signifies how the new image of yourself becomes nourishment for the family of thoughts you entertain and for the memory that clings to you. When the disciples take up the corpse and lay it in a tomb, you witness the old memory being buried in the soil of imagination. Yet this very act reveals the power of renewal: your inner field remains endowed with life, and the new state is born as you continually align with I AM and feel it real.
