Inner Death to Sin, Living to God

Neville's Inner Vision

Feel this as Neville would present: the verse is not a record of external events but a translation of your inner state. In that dying unto sin, you are not adding effort; you are stopping identification with the old self and its habit patterns. The one who died unto sin did so once in consciousness, not again; and the one who lives unto God is your ongoing, present I AM. So the slightest shift of attention from sin-identity to God-awareness is enough to 'live unto God' in every moment. The outer world may not have changed, but your inner weather has: you now stand in the Godward posture, aware of the I AM as your true self. Practice by returning, in imagination, to the moment of birth of this realization: you are the awareness that is always God-conscious. The death is complete; the life is continuous. Your task is to maintain the felt sense of the new state through every thought.
