Inner Resurrection Promise

Neville's Inner Vision

Here is the scene not as history, but as the life you live in the mind. The 'Son of Man' stands as your I AM awareness, and the 'betrayal into the hands of men' is the moment when old beliefs surrender to deeper truth. The coming death is the collapsing of a familiar self-image; the 'third day' promise is the birth of a new center of consciousness that rises with fresh clarity. When the disciples were 'exceeding sorry,' you may recognize your own first response to change—pain, resistance, fear of loss. Yet the narrative remains a tutor: events are not happening to you; they are movements of consciousness that you permit by your conviction. To imagine is to create; to revise is to seal. By accepting that the old self is literally dissolved in the "grave" of belief, you open the tomb for the “resurrection” of your true self, the self that is aware, untouched, and eternal. The third day is now. Your awareness can awaken to its own rising life, here and now, in the same way the Gospel promises a new life after apparent loss.
