Inner Confession, Healing Light

Neville's Inner Vision

To read this line is to discover that the scriptural we is not a record of the past, but a state of mind I inhabit in this moment. The fathers in the line are not separate men but the memory patterns that rule my present belief. When I say we have sinned, I am naming the condition in which I still identify myself with limitation. The function of repentance then is not guilt but a deliberate shift of attention, a turning within to the I AM, the witness that never sins. As I dwell in that awareness, the sense of separation dissolves and the old acts appear as already finished within the life of consciousness. The verse invites me to revise by affirming a new state as real here and now: I AM the unconditioned, I AM forgiven. In this way the whole past becomes the material for a fresh present, and mercy flows where I expect judgment. The pain of inherited guilt is converted into power when I realize that imagination creates reality and I choose a higher frame of reference.
