Tower Within: Ambition and Identity

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 11:4 speaks in the language of stone and labor, yet the real architecture is in the mind. The crowd says, 'let us make us a name,' which is not a project of bricks but a determination to be seen, to bind memory and destiny to outward achievement. In Neville's practice, such a desire is a state of consciousness that fears dispersion—an inner worry that without a lasting name, life will crumble. The tower becomes an image of uplifted ego, a self that must reach higher than its neighbor to prove its worth. But God is the I AM behind every thought, and the moment you recognize that awareness as the only builder, the impulse to outward conquest loses its charge. By shifting attention from 'I must do' to 'I AM' already doing, you awaken a unity that cannot be scattered by circumstance. When you imagine yourself inwardly complete—thrown into the single city of harmony with all life—the external world shifts to reflect that certainty. The goal is not to destroy ambition but to transmute it into a confident, inclusive security rooted in God-consciousness.
