Inner Beasts, Inner Creation

Neville's Inner Vision

In this vision, the four-footed beasts, wild beasts, creeping things, and fowls of the air are not distant creatures but symbols of states of consciousness within you. Peter’s steady gaze is a metaphor for attention: where you fix your awareness, you create the inner weather that becomes your outer life. The sheet of animals represents the boundaries your mind is testing—the old order of beliefs, appetites, and habits that you have allowed to dictate your sense of self. When you dwell on them, you are choosing which states to feed; when you refuse to cling to any single state, you release the old condition and allow a new order to emerge. Remember: God is the I AM within you, and imagination is the true instrument of creation. By revising a belief and feeling it real, you become the artist of your inner scene, and your external world shifts to match your inward state.
