Cain's Inner Exile Reimagined

Neville's Inner Vision

Cain's punishment is not a distant historical verdict but an inner sentence you pronounce about your own nature. The earth that no longer yields mirrors the mind's belief that you are blocked when you forget the I AM within. The fugitive and vagabond are the scattered thoughts that roam when you identify with lack instead of consciousness. The LORD's mark is a symbolic idea you cling to for protection—a fixed image you wear to guard against imagined judgments. To depart from the presence of the LORD is to forget your continuity with awareness; to dwell in the land of Nod is to entertain a new starting point within, a seed of renewal. East of Eden becomes the interior terrain where you choose a different story, one in which you return to a fruitful garden by affirming your unity with the I AM. By revising the scene in imagination, you restore fruitfulness, safety, and the sense that no external verdict can override your inner life.
