Philippians 2:1-4 Inner Unity

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's language, there is no external unity to seek, only the inner state. If you sense consolation, comfort, or fellowship, you have already created them as conditions of your own consciousness. The 'Christ' spoken of is the I AM you, the living awareness that can choose a level of attention. When you choose to be likeminded, having the same love, you are aligning your inner sense of self with a harmonious vibration. The verse forbids strife and vainglory because such movements are merely thoughts of separation inside you; they dissolve when humility takes the stage. To esteem another better than yourself is to imagine yourself as containing their good within your own mind, and to keep your gaze on the things of others rather than your own scenes. Look not every man on his own things; look also on the things of others, because every belief you hold about them is a belief about you. Your external world shifts as you inhabit this inner state.
