Inner Mark and Divine Protection

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 4:15 speaks not of punishment, but of an inner guard. Cain’s act of violence casts a shadow, yet the Lord sets a mark upon him to keep others from harming him. In Neville’s tongue, this mark is a state of consciousness—the I AM—by which you are protected when you stand in a healed belief. The ‘vengeance’ promised sevenfold is the psyche’s own inward law: what you sow in fear returns in kind, but the mark prevents the full collapse of your life by holding you in awareness. The real drama is inner, not outer; the external scene merely illustrates the efficacy of consciousness. When you imagine yourself as the one who bears the mark, you no longer react to threat as if it were real; you revise your sense of danger by affirming that you are already under the protection of God within you. Mercy and Providence arise as you dwell in that I AM truth. Practice living from that state, and you will see your world rearrange to honor the inner boundary you have assumed.
