Neville’s Reading in A Parabolic Revelation
The revelation of God's Son is an intensely personal, inner experience that transcends external human understanding or discussion, confirming its non-physical, spiritual nature.
When it pleased God to reveal his son in me, I discussed it not with flesh and blood.

Neville’s Reading in Christ Unveiled
The revelation of God's Son is an intensely personal and internal experience, independent of external human teaching or intellectual understanding; it must unfold within the individual.
“When it pleased God to reveal His son in me, I conferred not with flesh and blood.” That, mortal mind could not reveal, no matter how it rationalized or tried to unravel this mystery. It cannot, it has to be revealed - it has to be completely unfolded, in the individual.

Neville’s Reading in Divine Signs
Paul's revelation of God's son within him was a direct, internal, mystical experience, independent of external human teaching or validation.
When it pleased God to reveal his son in me, I conferred not with flesh and blood.

Neville’s Reading in Gods Plan Of Redemption 1970
The revelation of God's Son is an internal, personal experience within the individual, not an external event or teaching from others ('flesh and blood').
I’m told by Paul, the first great convert by his own experience – because he said, “When it pleased God to reveal His Son in me, I conferred not with flesh and blood.” He reveals His Son in you. Where else can He reveal him when the whole drama takes place within man?

Neville’s Reading in No Other God
Paul's statement signifies that the revelation of the Son (David) is an intensely personal, internal experience that requires no external validation or consultation with others.
When it pleased God to reveal his Son in me I did not consult with flesh and blood.”

Neville’s Reading in Pauls Autobiography
The revelation of God's Son is an internal, personal experience ('in me'), which transcends human understanding or consultation ('flesh and blood'). It signifies a direct, mystical union with the divine.
“For when it pleased God to reveal his son in me, then I conferred not with flesh and blood.”

Practical Reflection
- Trust in your inner spiritual experiences and revelations, as they are direct communications from God and do not require external validation or discussion with those who perceive only the physical.
- True spiritual understanding comes from internal revelation, not from external authorities or human reasoning.
- To seek the revelation of the Son (David) within oneself, understanding that this is a personal, internal mystical experience that confirms one's identity as the Father.
- Seek the revelation of the divine within yourself, understanding that true spiritual understanding comes from an inner experience, not from external teachings or authorities.
