Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the sacred text does not describe far-off creatures, but states of consciousness. The angels who sinned are not escaped beings in space, but impulses and beliefs you have entertained in awareness. In your inner theater, God—the I AM you are—refuses complacent allowance of betrayal of your own light. The casting down to hell and the chains of darkness symbolize the tightening grip of guilt, limitation, and memory that once ruled your mind. The phrase delivered unto judgment marks the moment when you no longer defend and recycle those beliefs; judgment is not punishment but the clearing of what's not true about you. The imprisonment is temporary, a state you can revise in the instant you turn toward the light of awareness and say, 'I am still God-aware; I am the one who can unbind these chains by the assumption that I am free.' Thus exile becomes the disciplined road back to your original kingdom—imagination, and the return of wholeness.
