Risen John, Inner Works

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Neville Goddard frame, John the Baptist is a state of consciousness that bears witness to truth. When it is said he is risen from the dead, it signals the inner messenger arising from a previously dead sense of self. The servants are your passing thoughts and beliefs about who you are; resurrection is you awakening to the I AM that you truly are. Once this inner John awakens, mighty works begin to move in your life because your inner life now projects power into form. You no longer identify with the old self but with a living consciousness that creates by assumption. The revival of this inner witness reclaims power for imagination: it manifests as events, opportunities, and healings that reflect the power of the awakened mind. Trust the voice that returns with certainty rather than the old fears; the 'dead' you release is the former self, and the 'living' you comes forth through acts that were always possible in the inner heaven of your mind.
