The Cake Not Turned Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember, the verse speaks not of geography but of your inner habit of self-identity. Ephraim mixed among the people and became indistinguishable from external appearances; the cake not turned is your inner state that has not been given the heat of conscious attention. The strangers devouring his strength are thoughts and conditions you have accepted as separate from your I AM. Gray hairs upon him signify the natural signs of time, yet in this state of denial he does not know them, because he has forgotten that all time and body arise from your consciousness. The cure is not to resist the world but to take command of the inner narrative: you are the I AM, the unity that never wanes. When you assume the state of being already turned—whole, awake, and alive—you starve the strangers of your attention, and your strength returns. Do not search outward for change; imagine your inner self renovated and see the outer life catching up to the image.
