Unleavened Mind Departure

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the visible act is a symbol of an inner decision. The dough not yet leavened represents beliefs still unmoved by awareness—old habits awaiting the light of new truth. Their hasty exit, with kneading troughs bound to their clothes, models the I AM moving to leave behind what cannot survive in the promised land of consciousness. In Neville’s terms, the event points to the inner law of self-hood: you are the observer who chooses and then acts from a state that is already complete. The bound tools show how you carry within you your current conditions—habits, judgments, and identities—yet you step forward into a new state not by fighting them, but by reinterpreting them as instruments for the next level. To practice, assume you have already departed from lack; feel the end as present, and let your actions now align with that realization. This is obedience to the inner command, a covenant loyalty to your I AM, expressed as everyday integrity and fresh momentum.
