Escape From Sensual Snare

Neville's Inner Vision

In the psyche, the “woman” is a state of consciousness—an alluring pattern of desire and fear that binds the heart with nets and bands. It is not a person but a habit of attention that pulls you away from the I AM you truly are. To “please God” is to align your entire awareness with the divine presence within, and thus escape the entangling snare. The preacher’s counting is your inner audit of belief: you examine what you have affirmed as real and decide whether it binds you. If you linger with that bitter pull, you feed it; if you withdraw belief, you starve it. When you realize you are the I AM—the observer and source of all experience—the snares dissolve; you are no longer their prisoner but their witness. Your fidelity to inner truth becomes the shield; the “sinner” is simply a mistaken pattern of mind when you forget who you are. Return to conscious awareness as the source of all lived experience, and freedom follows effortlessly.
