Romans 16:14

Biblical Context

Paul names and salutes his co-workers and the believers with them, signaling a community of support within the faith. The verse frames fellowship as a lived, present reality.

Neville's Inner Vision

Names in Romans 16:14 are not distant persons but inner states of consciousness. Asyncritus stands for steadfast awareness; Phlegon for gentle strength; Hermas for protective discernment; Patrobas for cheerful service; Hermes for swift, clear thought. The 'brethren which are with them' are the surrounding currents of love and presence within you—the unity that already constitutes your being. When you greet them, you are not addressing others apart from you; you are recognizing that you are one with all and that God’s Presence breathes as fellowship within your own mind. This is the I AM made manifest as community, a field in which cooperation, harmony, and love can flow. The outward greeting becomes an inward alignment: by acknowledging these inner qualities, you shift your consciousness toward unity and health. Your life reflects the inner city you attend to; fellowship is the spiritual habit of knowing you are already connected to every facet of the divine.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume you are greeting the named companions as inner aspects of your consciousness, and feel the unity as present now. Let this felt reality revise your sense of separation and invite cooperation.
