Inner Serpent, Inner Crown

Neville's Inner Vision

To me, the serpent is a thought-form, a habit of consciousness that takes the shape of belief when you forget your true I AM. The curse—'upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat'—points to a mind turned toward matter and separation. Yet God is within, and the I AM never bows to fear or limitation. The moment you recognize that the 'serpent' is an outerized symbol of your own former alignments, you may revise it by returning your attention to the living awareness that you are the creator of your scene. In Neville's terms, you revoke the decree by assuming a new state: that you are the undivided, eternal I AM, free, whole, and in harmony with creation. As you dwell in that state, the former order loses its grip; the dust becomes a metaphor for a transient thought, not a reality. The shift is accomplished within, and the world around you follows suit as your inner disposition aligns with divine order.
