Gershom: Inner Stranger Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Gershom is not merely a baby but a symbol of a new state of consciousness emerging within you. When Moses says, I have been a stranger in a strange land, he is naming a mental condition, not a fate. In Neville’s psychology, 'land' is the inner landscape your thoughts and beliefs inhabit, and 'stranger' is any belief that makes you forget who you truly are as the I AM. The birth of Gershom signals the moment consciousness recognizes its own estrangement from the old sense of self and declares, in effect, a return-to-self in a new key. The stranger is the self who is traveling through a dream of separation, but the dream can reverse its script as you claim the awareness that you are the I AM creating every scene. Thus exile becomes a signal that a new reality is forming; the inner kid’s name becomes the anchor of the new identity. When you dwell in the I AM, the land you inhabit ceases to be foreign, because you inhabit the same one reality—the consciousness that births worlds.
