Neville's Inner Vision

See the verse not as a historical notice but as a map of your inner life. The Syrian tongue is the language of your present exile—habits of thought, fears, and stories you repetitively tell yourself. The king is the I AM within you, the living ruler of your consciousness. The letter you write to him is your petition to be seen, blessed, and restored to wholeness. When the writing is in the Syrian tongue and interpreted there, you are reminded that your inner speech shapes your world; you interpret every event by the language you have learned. By choosing a new interpretation, you reverse the exile and invite a fresh reign. You are both scribe and sovereign: you compose the lines that define your state, and you interpret them by the law of your inner king. When you realize your life is a transcript of your states of consciousness, you awaken to return, to restoration, and to a present reality that aligns with your most noble vision.
