Inner Prophet, Inner Turning

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scribes and Pharisees as states of consciousness, not men in robes. To build tombs and garnish the sepulchers is to cling to external forms—the opinions, rituals, and stories that mark a past truth—while the inner life of that truth goes unmoved. The claim, 'we would not have been partakers with them' reveals a self-justifying habit, a resistance to the inner turning that the prophets demand. In the Neville mode, you are the I AM, and the living motion of truth is always present; you can revise your state by assuming that the inner prophet is alive within you now. See the inner life moving; feel it as real; imagine you are listening to the prophet within rather than repeating old slogans. This revision births a new atmosphere; the external world begins to reflect the accountability of the inner turning, not the elegance of dead forms. You move from judgment to turning, from external homage to inner awakening.
