Inner Sight Through Fasting

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the narrative, Saul's three days of sightlessness and fasting symbolize a deliberate turning away from the world of appearances to attend to the I AM within. You are not the body, the sensations, or the opinions that crowd the mind; you are the consciousness that observes. When you refuse to feed the old stories and refuse to see through the crowded senses, the inner eye grows sharp. The state of being blind to the external order is a discipline that clears the heart of doubts, anxieties, and attachments, so that light may circulate as pure awareness. In Neville's terms, imagination is the organ of sight; your outer world is the echo of your inner conviction. The 'three days' are a symbolic retreat into the quiet place where God is I AM, where you revise your sense of self by assuming your reality as the already-awakened one. Providence and guidance do not come to change the world; they awaken you to the truth that the world arises from your own state of consciousness. Do this now: assume you are already seeing through the light of your I AM, and let the inner vision reform your life.
