Inner Choice: Christ Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, the 'two' are not two separate destinies but two states of consciousness. 'Living in the flesh' is the habitual egoic striving—a life measured by labor, success, and time-bound outcomes. 'Departing to be with Christ' signals a turning inward to the Christ within—the realization that the I AM, the aware Self, is the constant presence. The 'strait betwixt two' is the moment you are asked to shift your allegiance from the outer to the inner; you are not torn but offered a doorway into unity. When you hear 'far better' you hear the vibration of a higher state you can inhabit now. The better is not escaping life but entering the divine life already present as your awareness. By choosing to be with Christ in consciousness you revise your self-identity, and the outward life becomes its fruit rather than its master. Thus, Paul’s words become a reminder that resurrection is a present act of awakening within the I AM, here and now, not after time ends.
