The I AM Within You

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the drama is not about exorcism carried out by others, but a mirror of your inner state. The demon’s words— 'Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?'—name two acknowledged aspects of your true self: the I AM (Jesus) and the disciplined mind that would stand in truth (Paul). The 'ye' represents every unrecognized self you still identify with—fear, doubt, habit, and persona—that are not yet known to the one living I AM. When you forget the identity that God recognizes, those unacknowledged selves rush in, and the house is overrun; you feel exposed, driven to flee by the sense of defeat. The lesson Neville teaches is that power rests in consciousness that has named itself as the I AM and its faithful expression. When you remain aware of the I AM presence, the so-called attackers cannot prevail; they have no ground in the reality you have claimed. The scene invites you to cultivate an awake, definite sense of self—where imagination obeys the one will that is God within you—and to let fear dissolve in that light.
