Living Unto the Lord Within

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner conversation, God is the I AM, the consciousness that animates every moment. When Paul says we live unto the Lord and die unto the Lord, he points to the truth that every experience arises from the one Self. If you take the stand 'I am not my own'—not in fear, but in the recognition of your true nature as I AM—you align your entire body, mind, and circumstances with that divine presence. Life is not a series of separate events but a continuous feeling, a state of awareness. To interpret death as 'unto the Lord' is to acknowledge that what you call death is simply a change in the state of consciousness, not a destruction of the Self. Therefore, any situation you face is a shift in the one consciousness in which you live. The secret is to imagine the state you desire as already true and to dwell there, letting the Lord's life animate every cell. Trust that your trials are not random but movements within God's own image of you, and you will feel the unity of living and dying as the Lord's.
