Inner Tree of Pride's Fall

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner Ezekiel speaks to the tree inside you that has lifted itself in height, imagining it stands sovereign over its own shade. The 'top among the thick boughs' is the made-up self — a prideful story you repeat in place of life. The Lord GOD—your I AM awareness—permits the fall: you deliver that self-image into the hands of the mighty, the inevitable power that corrects when you forget the source. The 'strangers, the terrible of the nations' cutting it off symbolize the collapse of the old ego-system; its branches and shadows fail, and all the world moves away from its shade. But the fall is not destruction; it is revision, a return to the root. When you revise your state to the single I AM, you do not lose life—you regain it, as the tree is replanted in the soil of divine consciousness, not in pride. Exile from the old shadow becomes return to awareness, and the life within you flows again through the valleys and mountains of your being.
