Biblical Context
In Matthew 27:52-53, graves open and saints rise after Jesus' resurrection, appearing to many in Jerusalem. The event signals a transition from death to life, a symbol of inner awakenings.
Neville's Inner Vision
From Neville's perspective, the outer scene is the visible sign of an inner shift. The graves represent locked states of consciousness—fears, doubts, old identities—that have slept while you believed in separation. When the Christ within awakens—the I AM that you are—the walls of your inner city crack open and the saints of possibility rise. They come forth after a resurrection of awareness, not a past event in time, and they walk into your holy city of mind, announcing a new life you now experience in your daily seeing and feeling. The appearing to many is the inner corroboration of the new state: as you dwell in the consciousness of God, your world begins to reflect holiness, separation from limitation becomes clear, and you sense the Presence of God here and now. Your future is born not by waiting for outside signs, but by revising your inner script until it feels real.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are the I AM, seeing the tombs of old beliefs open and saints—your possibilities—walking the inner streets. Feel it real now; let the inner city live as your present life.
