Inner Vengeance, Inner Kingdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner cinema may be startled by Lamech's boast, but it is only an externalized vanity of the mind that believes in separation and injury. When he says, I have slain a man to my wounding, he is naming a state of consciousness that identifies with hurt as power. The seventy-and-sevenfold vengeance is not a decree over others, but a self-portrait of a mind that thinks retaliation will restore safety. In truth, there is one I AM, the unassailable awareness that perceives all events as movements in consciousness, not as separate acts against the self. Cain’s earlier story set a pattern of fear; Lamech doubles it, and in so doing reveals the universal law: the outer world mirrors the inner verdict. To rise from this script, refuse to treat injury as a personal charge; revise the scene by declaring that you are the observer, not the actor, and that your essential nature remains untouched by any deed or response. Feel the inner reality that you are the I AM who can reinterpret any scene into harmony, thereby dissolving the impulse toward vengeance and restoring the inner kingdom to peace and justice.
