Desolation as Inner State

Neville's Inner Vision

Desolation here is not a future punishment but a signal of the inner state that happens when consciousness forgets its oneness with the I AM. In Neville's own language, the world is a mirror of the mind: when the inner man doubts the divine governing presence, the outer scenes reflect it as desolation, struggle, and loss. The remedy is not coercion of events but a revising of belief: assume that the I AM is supreme, that you are rooted in an unassailable, eternal presence. See the rebel part in you as a mistaken thought, not a fixed fact, and imagine that the inner God-seed is unscathed and sovereign. By dwelling in the feeling of the I AM—there and now—you reorganize the life around you, and the desolation dissolves as new alignment is felt.
