Looking Forward, Becoming Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the wife’s gaze backward is not a history lesson but a state of consciousness. Lot and his family escape the old city, yet the wife remains tethered to the memory of what once was. Her look back is an inner refusal to surrender the identity attached to a prior life; the pillar of salt is the frozen result of a mind that will not release the vibratory pattern of the old self. In this moment, the I AM within each observer remains the only true moving force; the moment you think you must hold onto what has been, you stop the natural current of your becoming. The decree of transformation is simple: turn toward the new subjectivity you desire to inhabit, and imagine the I AM dissolving the old designation from within. When you insist upon the forward movement—feeling as if you already are the future you seek—the sticking point dissolves and you awaken as a living, water-like presence, not a statue.
