Siddim's Slimepit Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the vale of Siddim as the mind’s pit of slime, where unsettled desires lie in wait. The kings of Sodom and Gomorrah are not distant monarchs but personifications of urge and greed pressing upon your awareness. Their flight to the mountain suggests the impulse to escape responsibility and seek a higher, safer place in imagination rather than in truth. The spoils and victuals they seize stand for the outward symbols by which you measure security: possessions, stories, identities. Lot, Abram’s kinsman dwelling in Sodom, embodies the self that has become comfortable in worldly sense and thus easy to lead away by fear and appetite. When these forces capture Lot and his goods, you feel exile from your own center—the sense that life comes from without. Yet the law of consciousness declares that nothing external can threaten your real wealth unless you consent. The remedy is inner revision: awaken to the I AM that perceives and loves; imagine you are already whole, that abundance is your native state, and that Lot is restored by your becoming the governor of your inner terrain. In doing so, you reverse the scene: the outside loss is a cue to inward return.
