Lions' Den Inner Vigil

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville lens, the king is not a monarch but a standing of consciousness—the I AM in you beset by agitation. The night of fasting and no instruments of music show the mind withdrawing from outward supports, choosing to listen to the inner decree. The sleep that leaves him is the ego’s restlessness when it believes appearances govern fate. Rising early and hastening to the den is the moment your awareness affirms that your world is formed by your inner state, not by lions or rulers. Daniel is your faithful I AM, not a man praying outside, but the consciousness that refuses fear and remains centered in the idea of protection. The lions are your fears and doubts, roaring to wake you from the dream of separation. Yet the I AM remains untouched, for creation follows the laws of consciousness—what you assume, you instantiate. The king's haste becomes a signal that the crisis is a call to revise: you revise the onset condition by assuming the end you desire. When morning comes, the den yields to dawn because you have claimed your inner sovereignty and trust that Providence is always guiding you.
