Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text, the body is not a cursed machine but a symbol of a state of consciousness. When you declare 'Christ in me,' you acknowledge a Presence that transfigures your sense of living. Sin becomes a memory-drift, not a verdict carved in flesh; life is not earned by effort but imaged into being by the I AM that you are. The Spirit of the risen Jesus dwelling in you revives not some distant body but your immediate experience—your feelings, your choices, your daily movement. To 'quicken' your mortal frame is to awaken from the dream of separation and to align with the vitality of the Spirit that already animates you. This is not fight but recognition: imagine the divine life as your natural posture, revise old conclusions, and feel it real until the inner sense of life saturates every corner of your being. Your renewal is a present posture of consciousness, a state you assume until it becomes your experienced fact.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and fix your assumption: 'Christ in me now.' Feel the life returning to limbs and the sense of vitality spreading through you as the Spirit takes possession.
