Inner Exorcism and Identity

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the seven sons are seven facets of the old self striving to cast out fear by ceremony, status, and borrowed authority. They stand under the banner of Sceva’s name, a Jew and chief of the priests, signaling outward office without inner recognition. In the language of the inner Bible, the exorcism is never performed; it is recognized. The demon is the belief that you are separate from the I AM, the awareness that you are. Real power is not in the words or the ritual but in the state of consciousness that says I AM is all. When you try to exorcise from there, you merely feed the illusion; true release comes when you align with the I AM and revise your sense of self as the doer. If you insist on being the agent, the world will echo your claim with resistance. Practice by assuming the presence I AM now, and gently revise the old self into a single living awareness that knows it is already free.
