Inner Cleansing Of The Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

Your hands are not carrying out these acts; your imagination is. The word 'thee' designates your own I AM, the consciousness that holds every scene. When you allow 'men that carry tales to shed blood,' you are feeding hostile images in the theater of your mind, and the 'mountains' symbolize the elevated beliefs you feed with appetite instead of worship. 'In the midst of thee they commit lewdness' points to impulses that seem private but are simply the movements of attention when you identify with a disturbing image rather than your unity. 'They discovered their fathers' nakedness' speaks of inherited patterns— judgments, fears, and habits passed down as if real; the 'sacred' that was set apart becomes polluted when you dwell on separation. The abomination with a neighbour's wife and the defilement of daughter-in-law, and the humbling of a sister, describe the fracturing of relationships born from fear, desire, and possessiveness. But in you, the still I AM can revise the scene. By assuming a different state of consciousness—restored, pure, and intact—you re-script the inner drama into wholeness, reverence, and order.
