Inner Resurrection Through Suffering

Neville's Inner Vision

Read spiritually, the verse reveals the inner drama of consciousness. The 'Son of Man' is the I AM in you, and 'suffering' is the moment when a worn story clings to you, when the old self resists the new life your imagination is birthing. The 'elders, chief priests, and scribes' are the voices of doubt within, the past definitions that deny your power. When you accept that the self you are dying to is a thought, a belief you have housed, you release it by surrendering to the idea that you are not the hindered person you once believed you were. The 'killing' is the death of limitation; the 'rise again after three days' is the dawning of a new state of consciousness, the resurrection you can live now as you persist in imagining the end state as already real. The verse invites you to reside in the end, to see that suffering and rejection are the price paid by the ego to be reinterpreted by the I AM as fuel for transformation. Your life becomes the proof of this inner victory.
