The Inner Servant Choice

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage the master is the I AM within you—your constant, unchanging awareness. The servant represents a pattern of consciousness that clings to a familiar identity and thus proclaims, 'I will not go out free.' The door-post and the ear bore the mark symbolize a fixed imprint in the psyche, a belief you have chosen as your reality. To change your life, you must realize you are free to revise any internal identification. The ‘love’ declared is allegiance to a particular internal arrangement; it is not a condemnation of growth but a reminder that you have the power to shift what you claim as real. The Neville method is to assume the end, revise the sense of bondage, and feel-it-real the new state. Begin by affirming a fresh devotion to your inner Master and dwelling in that state until it becomes your natural consciousness, thereby revealing true freedom from limitation.
