From Carcass to Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this line as a map of inner life. The carcase stands for the ego—the identified self that has forgotten its Source. When you dwell in fear, anger, or lack, you feed stray thoughts until they fashion a worn-out story. The birds and beasts are the roaming conditions of life—events, judgments, and circumstances—that gather around the old self. The fact that no one can drive them away signals not punishment from without but the natural outcome of identification. The old self remains tethered to you while your imagination has aligned with a state of separation. To reinterpret is to turn from outward appearance to inner assumption: declare and feel the state you desire, as if it already is true. Begin with the conviction that you are the I AM, not the victim of circumstances, and allow the old self to be consumed by the life you now consciously embody. Your present experiences shift only as you persist in a new inner statement that you are already whole, right here, right now.
