Inner Rejoicing, Outer Silence

Neville's Inner Vision

Rehearse the scene in your mind and you will see that the 'Palestina' is not a place but a state of reaction. The rod that smote thee is broken, yet the inner life remains; this is not a license to celebrate others' defeat but a sign that your old pattern of fear and dominance is loosening. The serpent's root and its offspring—the cockatrice and the fiery flying serpent—are the habitual thoughts and images that arise when change comes. They are not rulers but messages. If you cling to the past damage or to the image of an external oppressor, you will awaken new fears and spiteful fantasies. The key is to rest in the I AM, to assume the desired state as already real, and to let imagination generate the form of your new life. Do not seek external confirmation; instead, refuse to let the mind dwell on the old serpent, and invite a fresh, creative intelligence to express itself through you. In that inner revision, the breaking of the rod becomes a birth canal for reality that aligns with justice and true power.
