The Inner Touch of Strength

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel’s account is not a mere historical scene but a map of consciousness. The touch on his lips is the ignition of inner awareness; the vision turns his sorrows upon him and drains him of strength, not as punishment but as a signal that the old self cannot bear the new revelation. In Neville’s terms, the I AM is both speaker and listener; the one who stands before him is the inner governor of your own life, the sense that can hear and imagine. The line about speaking to this lord dissolves when you recognize you are the servant speaking to the lord within. The weakness Daniel experiences is a threshold, not a defect; you cannot birth a higher state while clinging to a lesser one. Humility and meekness are thus openings that invite trust in the inner presence, the I AM who breathes life into every form. By assuming the feeling of already having that life here and now, you rewrite the scene so lack becomes life, fear becomes faith, and the vision becomes your present reality.
