In Captivity, Service Begins

Neville's Inner Vision

Your outer scene—the ward—tries your heart, but the inner meaning is that the I AM within you is arranging service where you are. The captain of the guard stands for the authority of your present impression; Joseph’s faithful service shows how a disciplined mind remains useful even in constraint. In Neville’s psychology, every appearance is a mirror of your inner state; the season in ward is a period of inner discipline, a proving ground to demonstrate that you are not a prisoner of circumstance but the ruler of your own fate by assumption. By accepting responsibility and rendering faithful service, you align with the natural law that your inner reality creates the outer scene. So you stand within the gate of your mind, doing the tasks as if they belong to your true nature, believing that this moment is the exact occasion for your next inner revelation. Persist in the conviction that you are already served by Providence, and the chain of limitation loosens as your inner I AM asserts its order.
