Leading by Example, Not Dominion

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's view, the flock represents your inner life. True leadership emerges not from coercive power but from the steady image you hold in consciousness. When you imagine ruling others, you separate from the I AM; when you embody the role of a living example, your inner state aligns with the outer field. The passage becomes a call to mindful stewardship: govern with presence, humility, and clarity rather than control. See yourself not as a ruler but as the quiet standard by which reality arranges itself. As you feel you already embody calm discernment and merciful authority, others respond from their own inner alignment, reflecting your inner posture back to you. The transformation is inward: revise the sense of authority from external control to inner example, so your thought-world models what others imitate. When you dwell in the I AM, leadership dissolves into service; dominion becomes the byproduct of a unified consciousness. The flock following your inner light is simply your own awareness awakening in form.
