Cross Within: Simon's Call

Neville's Inner Vision

In this moment, Simon represents a state of consciousness you are presently asked to embody. The cross is not a literal burden but a charged inner condition—beliefs, habits, and fears pressing upon you as you move through life’s crowd. The crowd that compels Simon is your own weather of thoughts pressing you toward action you may not yet choose freely. When you accept the inner compulsion, you affirm that this cross is yours to bear now, and that bearing it becomes an act of obedience to your higher Self. Faithfulness is the steady respect for your present state as the doorway to a higher one. As you imagine yourself carrying the cross with calm, you awaken the personal power to move with it rather than resist it. The cross then recedes from being external punishment to becoming the instrument of transformation within your inner landscape, and perseverance through the sensation of weight becomes the literal birth of a new consciousness.
