Inner Witnesses of the Path

Neville's Inner Vision

Truth stands in the road of your mind as a man of God fallen in the desert of self: the lion and the donkey are silent witnesses, not judges. The lion’s restraint is the sign that the power of your I AM does not consume what life has declared finished; the carcass remains, but not as final truth. The donkey bearing the body is the persistence of attention, the memory you keep to carry the revelation back to life. The old prophet who mourns is your old beliefs clinging to the past prophecy, seeking to bury new revelation under tradition. When you take the carcass up and lay it on the donkey, you are symbolizing the re-collection of your state of awareness, and carrying it into your city of daily life. Providence, your inner guide, moves through this act, guiding the return of the man of God to the streets of consciousness. Obedience to the inner directive, faithfulness to the revelation, and a steadfast assumption cause the hidden rescue to occur in your experience. The silent witnesses declare: your true state remains alive beneath appearances when you reverently tend it.
