Guided by Cloud and Fire

Neville's Inner Vision

The text invites us to notice that guidance is an inner act of consciousness, not a distant event. The cloud by day and the fire by night symbolize the two modes of inner clarity: calm, expansive awareness by day and sustaining illumination by night. The I AM is the leading force—your true self that guides every step. When you align with this inner state, you no longer seek direction in external signs; you become the sign. The cloud becomes your daytime mental disposition—clear, unhurried, and discerning—while the fire becomes the nighttime conviction that lights the path and dispels fear. By assuming you are already guided, you permit the journey to unfold from within. Your inner movements precede any outward change, so the world follows the inner pattern you hold as true. The law here is simple: live from the feeling of being led, and the road appears as you walk it, because you are the I AM walking it through you.
