Elisha and the Inner Shift

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this scene, the outside report of change is but weather in the sky of your mind. The 'master' is not Elijah apart from you but the state of consciousness you identify as your inner ruler. The sons of the prophets represent incoming thoughts and rumors that seek to redraw your scene. Elisha's quiet acknowledgment—'I know it; hold ye your peace'—is the discipline of inner certainty: you do not feed the rumor with fear or commentary. In Neville's terms, the moment of departure is an inner movement, a shift of your I AM from one identification to another; what seems to disappear in the world is the old version of you, not your essential presence. When you refuse to dissent or amplify the news, you are choosing to inhabit the permanent fact that your awareness remains, and thus you are already operating in the state that will take its place. Practice by entering the stillness, affirming, 'I am aware of the move within me, and I remain as the eternal I AM.'
