Dan Within: Salvation Realized

Neville's Inner Vision

Dan, within you, is the faculty of discernment that must judge thoughts and align with higher purpose. The serpent image—an adder in the path—represents fear, doubt, or old habits that coil along your forward momentum and bite at the heel of the rider, causing a stumble. Yet the line is not doom but a map of inner dynamics: you are not at the mercy of these impulses but are invited to awaken to the salvation that already resides in consciousness. The cry, 'I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD,' becomes the turning point where the I AM within you waits to disclose that salvation as a present, realized state. When you shift identification from the limited self to awareness, serpents lose their sting and the path becomes clear. You experience that the observer and the act of judging are one, and salvation is not distant but the very act of conscious realization happening now.
