Open Eyes Through Mercy

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the two blind men are not merely individuals; they symbolize states of consciousness—lack and limitation—sitting by the roadside of your life. The crowd's rebuke is the noise of old assumptions telling you to hush your desire. When you hear 'Have mercy,' you awaken to the I AM within—the presence that is always aware. Jesus stands still and asks, 'What will ye that I shall do unto you?' That question is your moment of choosing a new belief, a new assumption. Their request, 'Lord, that our eyes may be opened,' is the practical act of imbuing a new state with life. The compassion and touch represent the acknowledgment by your consciousness that you are already whole, that sight is your true condition. When you entertain the feeling of sight, the state shifts—the change is immediate, as if eyes open in the instant. They then follow him, symbolizing living from the inner realization and moving forward in life in harmony with that truth.
