Inner Nations, Inner Return

Neville's Inner Vision

The Lord's warning is a statement about the law of consciousness. The invading nation is not a foreign army but a mode of thought that rushes into your mind from the far end of your earth. Its tongue you cannot understand is the language of the old self—the habitual scripts you no longer recognize as you become aware of your I AM. The fierce countenance represents your own hard judgments and the harsh conclusions you entertain about yourself and life. The decree that it shall not regard the old nor show favor to the young is simply a scene in which your old self-image is not acknowledged; and yet you have the power to reframe it by assuming the presence of a new state. When you identify with the I AM, the prophecy dissolves—exile becomes a temporary misalignment, and return is your natural state. You are the nation; you are the eagle that flies swift when you shift your inner disposition; the outer condition merely mirrors your inner act.
