Inner Nativity Insight

Neville's Inner Vision

Matthew 1:18 reveals a birth that happens not in the outward crowd but in the mind. Mary is the receptive state of your consciousness, the quiet space that can nurture a divine idea. Joseph—the espoused fidelity of mind—represents discipline, the authority that refuses to entertain doubt or premature action. The Holy Ghost is imagination in action—the breath of God within you that gives form to what you inwardly conceive. Before they came together, before any outward activity, the seed of Jesus is conceived in awareness; the Christ appears as a living idea in your realm of thoughts. The birth is thus not about a body, but about your inner state becoming manifest. If you hold Mary in receptive trust and permit Joseph’s steady order to guard the vision, the Spirit will breathe and bring forth the Christ in your experience. Remember: the I AM within you is the Father-Mother, and imagination is the instrument by which your divine idea becomes visible.
