The Mind's True Possession

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, the two nations and two lands symbolize opposing currents: the ego's hunger to possess and the quiet sovereignty of the I AM. When the ego proclaims ownership, it forgets that the LORD is already there, the divine presence within. Neville's method insists that nothing is owned apart from awareness; the 'territory' you seek exists as a state of consciousness you can revise. So, you don’t conquer; you awaken. Assume the feeling that the inner kingdom is yours because the I AM is present. Imagine those outward claims dissolving, while you stand as witness to the one true ruler—the presence of God in you. Through revision and the feel-it-real act, you align with the inner reality and let external desires fall into their proper place. The verse warns against arrogance, but in Neville’s sense it invites a surrender to the inner governor, where true possession resides.
