The Hidden Sin Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville’s lens, the line The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid becomes a portrait of a state of consciousness that refuses to be faced. It is not a distant offense, but a belief held in the subconscious, tightly bound by habit and fear, unseen yet directing daily life. When you identify with a hidden fault, you contract your awareness, separating the I AM you truly are from the image you judge yourself by. The claim that sin is hid is a signal to stop searching outward and begin the grand work inward: assume a different state of being. For the I AM is not a judge but the unconditional life of God in you, and imagination is the instrument by which you revise what you hold true. So you enact a revision by one sustained feeling of light: I am pure, I am whole, I am beyond judgment. In that new state, the binding of the old sin loosens, and sight returns to your true nature, free from concealment and fear.
