Inner Shore of Magdala

Neville's Inner Vision

Matthew 15:39 presents a moment in which the Master, after feeding and teaching, sends away the multitude and sails to the shores of Magdala. The crowd is not merely people; it is the swarm of beliefs and sensory data that claim to know you. When he dismisses them and steps into the boat, he demonstrates how consciousness moves from external reliance into a solitary awareness. The ship is your own imagination, the craft by which you translate inner states into outer experience. Magdala, the coast, stands for a quiet knowledge-border where you meet the I AM face-to-face. In this inward departure you are not fleeing life; you are relinquishing identification with forms and turning to the constant I AM that animates all forms. The act teaches that true effect arises when you withdraw attention from the theatre of appearances and align with the I AM within. Practically, observe your day as a procession of states of consciousness; by changing your inner state you alter what seems to occur on the screen of life.
