Inner Sacrifice for Brethren

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul’s stark wish is not a call to self-punishment but a symbolic doorway into the psychology of unity. The phrase accursed from Christ signals the death of the separated, personal self—an identity bound to external flesh and limitation. In Neville’s terms, Christ is the inner I AM, the consciousness that can only be realized when one ceases to identify with a mortal ego. To say “for my brethren” is to claim that all such brethren are already present within the same state of awareness you are willing to assume. The outer “kinsmen according to the flesh” become the inward aspects of consciousness — fear, doubt, longing, and past conditioning — longing to be awakened into the one life you claim as yours. When you persist in imagining yourself as the one who would endure any loss for their sake, you liberate a vibration that invites them into a state of healing and unity. The act is internal alignment, not coercion; it is the I AM claiming all as one, until the apparent division dissolves into wholeness.
