Inward Mockery, Inner Christ

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene as your own inner drama. In Neville's language, the faces and blows are not 'out there' but states of consciousness that appear as you forget your true I AM. The mockery calls for a prophecy, a proof from the one within you who believes in separation. Yet the I AM remains untouched, the Christ within you whom no man can strike or shame. When you imagine that you are the observer of the act, you can choose to reinterpret it: the spitter, the blows, the taunt 'Prophesy unto us, thou Christ' are simply voices in your own dream demanding evidence of a self you never truly denied. You can answer within by insisting on your inner verdict: I am the I AM, I am untouched by appearances. The power of imagination here is to revise the scene by assuming the end—peace, wholeness, the presence of God—and feel it real until the outward appearance aligns with your inner certainty. Every apparent persecutor signals you to awaken to your own divinity and let consciousness govern the stage.
