Inner Governance of Titus 1:4-5

Neville's Inner Vision

Receive this as a portrait of your own inner state. Grace, mercy, and peace are not external favors but the living feelings of the I AM made tangible in your awareness. To Titus, mine own son after the common faith becomes a signaling of your own inner son, the self that shares the one faith of consciousness. Left I thee in Crete means you must govern the fluctuating thoughts of your mind, and set in order the things that are wanting—align the inner tenants, the faculties that rule your life. Ordain elders in every city symbolize installing steadfast principles—faith, hope, love, discernment—as rulers of each mental city. As I had appointed thee confirms that this governance is self-chosen, not imposed from without. In this light, the verse proclaims that grace, mercy, and peace come through a disciplined, ordered consciousness—the result of you assuming a new state of being and maintaining it. Your inner governorate enshrines harmony with God.
