Inner Night Of The Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

Placed onto the inner stage, the house is the mind; the bed denotes settled beliefs about who you are. When the invaders smite and behead, these are inner movements that topple a cherished self-story and strip away the old authority by which you have lived. The head being taken away symbolizes the loss of your former line of thinking—identity reduced to a mere signal in the night. Going through the plain all night represents a long, solitary drift of consciousness where you feel the destruction of that story. But in Neville's law, nothing true is harmed: I AM, awareness, remains the witness behind every motion. The violent scene is a drama that reveals that you are not the thought; you are the one who thinks. The practice is to revise your state: affirm that your essential self is the I AM, unaffected by any conclusion or fear. Rest in the conviction that the night of appearances passes, and you awaken to a renewed sense of being, the stable sense of I AM.
