Moths of Inner Decay

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, Ephraim and Judah are states of consciousness, not distant peoples. When I say I will be unto Ephraim as a moth, I am pointing to the habitual thoughts and minor concerns that nibble away at life. The moth is the small, repeated belief that life must decay; the rottenness is the deeper conviction that nothing endures. Your awareness, the I AM, is the sole governing power, and until you claim it as yours, your inner climate permits decay. The correction offered by this verse is a shift of attention: revise the self you identify with into a living, renewing presence. Do not fight the decay; simply turn your gaze back to the I AM and feel it saturate every corner of your mind until the moth withers and the rot dissolves. In this revision you awaken from a state of susceptibility to a living, guarding vitality, becoming the author of your inner weather rather than its victim.
