Inner Mourning Awakens Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Ezra's outward acts of mourning are not mere customs; they reveal the inner cloth of his identity being touched by truth. In Neville's terms, the outer sign is the mind's way of acknowledging a shift in consciousness. The thing Ezra hears is not just information; it is the moment the I AM within awakens to a new perceived possibility. The rent garment and shaved hair are symbols of an old self being laid aside so a newer state can come forth. The astonishment is the pause of attention where belief can revise itself. Do not seek relief in the external gesture but bend the will toward the awareness that makes perception possible. Providence, in this view, is the inner order of your own consciousness moving you toward a state you can be in fact.
