Helpers in Christ, Courage Revealed

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul's greeting to Priscilla and Aquila is not a mere list of names but a declaration of an inner partnership. In Neville's frame, to greet my helpers in Christ Jesus is to acknowledge the state of consciousness in which the I AM calls forth companionship for my mission. They 'laid down their own necks for my life' means you surrender the old self to a higher perception; the neck is the hinge between thought and action, the place where fear once held sway. When you imagine that such sacrifice is already done, your inner Priscilla and Aquila appear as tendencies of courage and resourcefulness that shield and advance your purpose. The gratitude of all the churches signifies that, when your inner elements recognize and honor this unity, your entire psyche reflects a single, victorious vision. Trust that gratitude flows from the inner witness when you recognize these helpers not as external people but as states of awareness supporting your life and mission. This is the practice: treat this inner partnership as real now, and let your imagination fuse it with your daily acts of faith.
