Inner Forgiveness, Outer Healing

Neville's Inner Vision

See the scene as a drama of your own consciousness. The man on the bed is your present awareness pressed down by a belief in separation. When Jesus speaks of forgiveness, he speaks to the I AM within—the indwelling God that knows itself as whole. Your sins are conditions of mind, not offenses to a distant judge; forgiving them means returning to the state you already are in God. The scribes represent the habit of looking for proofs in externals, doubting the inner shift. The real demonstration is not a miracle to satisfy others but a turning of your attention from lack to abundance, from guilt to grace. When you accept that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive, you rise. The command Arise, take up thy bed, and go home is the outward sign of your inward restoration. Healing then follows as the body aligning with your renewed inner state, for imagination creates reality; your inner sight precedes and manifests as the outer change.
