Crowd, Truth, and Inner Freedom

Neville's Inner Vision

What you read is not only a historical scene but a picture of your inner landscape. The crowd represents a state of fear and judgment within you that would cast out a new idea threatening the old self. When they cry away with such a fellow, hear it as an inner veto, a belief that something new must die to be real. The shedding of clothes and the dust are symbols of an old identity being burned away by the light of consciousness. Yet the I AM, the awareness that you are, cannot be terminated by appearances. The spoken word is a living belief that could move you to action if believed; you, as consciousness, can revise it. Now affirm a reversal: I am the I AM, and nothing from without can terminate my life. Rest in that truth and feel the fear dissolve. In that quiet hold, the outer scene loses its charge and you live from your inner life, secure and unthreatened by the crowd.
