Denial to Awakening Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard's lens, the scene is not about a man named Peter facing a public rebuke, but about a state of consciousness that forgets its own I AM. The 'I' that speaks through Peter is the frightened self clinging to separation, the part of you that believes you can hide from awareness by swearing an oath. When they say, 'thou also art one of them,' that is the inner crowd judging your assumed identity. The crowing of the cock becomes a symbolic alarm: a sign that the true self is alive and witnessing the counterfeit speech. Neville teaches that imagination creates reality, so each denial reveals a belief you are not the One. The remedy is to revise by assuming the final state—the I AM—already knowing the Self beyond appearances. Feel the truth that you are the consciousness that knows; let the fear and self-doubt dissolve in the certainty of being. The fall is simply a mis-tuning of your state; you can re-tune it by persistent assumption and deliberate feeling of oneness with the Self, here and now.
