Mind's Prison Doors Open

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the keeper's act is not a physical escape but a symbol of your own mind clinging to the old belief that life is ruled by circumstances. The opened doors signify a shift in consciousness rather than a change in the outside world. In Neville's reading, fear vanishes when you realize the I AM, your true awareness, was never imprisoned. The inner earthquake that shakes the prison walls is the correction of a mistaken assumption: that survival depends on appearances rather than the constant, unconditioned presence of being. When you entertain the conviction that you are already free, the impression that the prisoners left your gate dissolves; your awareness simply opens to its liberating truth. The keeper's readiness to die is the last stand of the old self against the dawn of a new state of consciousness. Salvation is not arriving from without; it is the self revision that makes the doors appear and your life moves in harmony with that truth.
