Breaking the Damascus Bar Within

Neville's Inner Vision

In the theater of your inner life, Damascus represents a hardened belief about limitation. The bar is a mental boundary you have accepted about what you can or cannot be. The breaking of that bar signals a shift in your state of consciousness, not an external havoc. The inhabitants and the sceptre-bearing figure symbolize the old authorities you have yielded to—external thoughts, fears, or identities that claim sovereignty over you. To experience this release, acknowledge that true sovereignty resides in the I AM, your inner awareness. By imagining the bar breaking, you loosen the grip of those outer powers and invite your inner Eden to reclaim the throne. This is not punishment but the pruning of a belief that has resisted your flourishing. The exile to Kir is the clearing away of former patterns, making room for a new alignment where your awareness can reign unimpeded and restore the Edenic order within you.
