Oak of Awakening: I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville perspective, the oak is not a tree but a present state of consciousness you inhabit. The man of God represents your own true self, the I AM, carrying the promise of prophecy within you. When the question asks, 'Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah?' it is the inner call to identify yourself as the author of your destiny, born from the soil of inner faith rather than outer opinion. The reply, 'I am,' is the moment of definitive self-acknowledgment—an admission that you already are the very power you seek to express. In this light, 'Judah' stands for the origin of your faith and the line of promise running through your awareness. The scene under the oak invites a still, listening posture where you let the inner movement declare itself without fleeing to blame or doubt. Obedience becomes fidelity to the I AM; faithfulness is remaining with that acknowledgment until your world rearranges to reflect it. The encounter is less about a historical prophecy and more about a present decision: you are the man of God as you claim and dwell in your true nature.
