Parables Reveal Self to Self

Neville's Inner Vision

Matthew 21:45 speaks of the moment when the ego-laden leaders hear Jesus’s parables and discover they are speaking of the observer themselves. In Neville’s psychology, the parable is a symbolic depiction projected by the mind, and the one who listens is the I AM observing its own inner states. The priests’ and Pharisees’ realization is not external judgment but an inward counter-vision: their set of thoughts, pride, and self-righteousness are being exposed as the very fabric of their reality. When they perceive the message as about them, the drama becomes a mirror, and the “kingdom” they seek remains within reach only when they revise their interpretation with a new assumption. The scene teaches that truth comes through the inner recognition that all characters and events are manifestations of consciousness; to judge the parable is to judge yourself, to judge yourself is to miss its gift. The moment of insight invites you to claim your unity with the I AM, to drop the need to prove others wrong, and to enter a state of faithful seeing where forgiveness and transformation begin in thought.
