The Inner First Resurrection

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the 'dead' are your habitual thoughts, fears, and memories that keep you identified with limitation. They do not awaken while you insist you are the same old self, just as the vision of a long clocked thousand years keeps you bound to yesterday. Yet the thousand years are not time on a dial; they are the stubborn belief that change must come later, that you are other than your I AM. When you claim the awareness 'I AM' as the true center of your life and imagine the desired state as already yours, you begin the first resurrection in consciousness. This shift is not something outside you to earn; it is a reorientation in mind, a turn away from lack toward sufficiency, from separation toward unity. Your inner image, held with feeling, rewrites the script and births a renewed life in your experience. The rest of the dead rise only when you rise in mind to a higher state. The first resurrection is the inner renewal that makes the rest of life possible, here and now within you.
