Inner News From John's Beheading

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the scene in Matthew 14:10-12 is not merely a report of death but a mirror of inner movement. John represents a fiery truth within you, a clarion call of prophecy. The beheading in the prison is the cutting away of a former self that clung to a limited interpretation of life. The head brought out and shown to the damsel and mother marks the outward effects of that cut—visible, sensational, and dramatic—yet it is only consciousness reporting to itself. The disciples bury the body and tell Jesus, symbolizing your awareness sealing the change and bringing the result to the light of I AM. In Neville terms, the apparent tragedy reveals that your state of consciousness has shifted; the old belief is dead, and a higher form of truth awakens in you, ready to express in new ways. Stay with the feeling that the interior John survives in the deeper I AM and that what you call 'death' is simply a transition to a more intimate acquaintance with divine life.
