Bounded Yet Unbound: Paul's Inner Freedom

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember that in Neville's teaching, the outer scene is not a punishment but a precise symbol: Felix's desire to please the crowd represents the ego's appetite for public approval, a state of consciousness that keeps one chained to appearances. Festus entering the room marks a shift in the dream, yet Paul remains bound until the inner man has learned the lesson: Liberty is not a matter of release from a jail but a release from fear, need, and the belief in separation. The two years become your inner time of discipline, the space you grant to a new assumption, the moment you persist in the awareness of your true I AM, beyond political favor or public opinion. As you inhabit the inner state of freedom, the outer scene will reflect it; Paul's body may be bound, but the consciousness that bound it is loosening. Your task is to refuse to identify with the condition, and to renew the sense: I am free, I am whole, I am the I AM.
