Inner Pestilence and Return

Neville's Inner Vision

Let the pestilence, the slain young men, the stench in the camps be taken as a symbolic weather in your own consciousness. Amos speaks from the LORD, but in Neville's reading the LORD is the I AM, the awareness that never leaves your aura. The pestilence is not punishment; it is a call to turn your mind from the old camp to the new awareness you are becoming. The swords and taken horses are the images and habits you once believed protected you, now exposed as projections. The stink rising to your nostrils is your former state resisting the quiet claim of a higher order. The invitation remains: return unto me. In your practice, do not seek to change the outside merely; change the inner scene by assuming the quality you desire as already real. Feel the I AM as your living center, and dwell there until the external conditions reflect that inner revolution. The refusal to return is simply a momentary lapse; your consciousness can re-center in the present moment and yield a new form.
