Fearless Inner Child at Play

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your dream of life, the hole of the asp and the cockatrice den are symbolic of the most biting fears lodged in your subconscious. The sucking child represents a living sensation of pure I AM, a state of awareness uncorrupted by memory or doubt. When this inner child plays at the edge of danger, you are not denying fear; you are completely unfazed by it because fear has no reality outside the imagination you are using to create. The weaned child who lays his hand on the den demonstrates mastery: maturity is not numbness but the heightened trust that your present awareness can meet any imagined danger and render it harmless. In Neville terms, the prophecy is describing your inner kingdom coming to full activity: you are the I AM that can transmute threat by willing it into peace, by assuming the feeling that what you desire already exists as your present reality. The world around you shifts to match the state you dwell in.
