Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the scene as a movement of consciousness, not a history lesson. The king’s fifty and their captain are the many thoughts pressing from the outside world to force you to descend from your hill of awareness. The 'man of God' on the top represents your inner I AM— the unwavering center of perception that remains unmoved by appearances. The command, 'Come down,' is the impulse of fear and demand trying to override your inner authority. In Neville terms, the outer scene is a signal from your own mind, inviting you to revise it from lack to fullness. When you notice such a summons, you do not resist with struggle, but with a deliberate assumption of the truth you desire: that the I AM within you is sovereign now, that your awareness remains on the hill regardless of outward orders. See the hill not as a place to abandon but as the throne of your true being where you choose presence over compliance. As you dwell there, the imagined decree loses its power, and your realized state begins to manifest outwardly through quiet confidence and alignment with your purpose.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly, imagine you are the I AM atop a hill of awareness; the captain and fifty are thoughts trying to drag you down. Revise in your mind: 'I am the inner command; I stand on the hill; all outer voices bow to the I AM now.' Feel this revision as real for a minute.
