Inner Sign Proverb

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's freedom-of-consciousness lens, this verse is not about a historical man but about a state of consciousness that has hardened into resistance. 'Setting the face' against him is your inner refusal to identify with a fear or habit that cuts you off from your divine self. When you become a 'sign and proverb' in your own mind, your inner storm shows others the truth you already know: that the I AM is the LORD within, and not a distant judge. The exile and return surface as your inner drama—you exit the crowd of limited beliefs, and in return you awaken to the presence of the I AM. Judgment here is not punishment but a symbol that calls you to observe and revise; it is accountability that leads back to the source of life, your Own consciousness. By recognizing that the 'man' is a state, you stop resisting your higher nature and let the truth of the LORD reveal itself in your daily experience. The verse then becomes a joyful reminder that every 'exile' from belief is an invitation to return to your true state.
