Inner Judgment and Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

I read this as a photograph of consciousness. The land shadowing with wings is the mind cloaked in fear and pretension, an awareness that believes it must travel outward to prove itself. Beyond the rivers of Ethiopia marks the deep emotional currents within me that have carried me away from present assurance. The ambassadors by the sea are my thoughts sending messages to distant conditions, seeking validation of a self I fear losing. The nation scattered and peeled is the old self—fragmented by past hurts and memories of limitation, a self-image trodden down by time. The declaration that its land the rivers have spoiled signifies that when I let those current feelings rule, the inner terrain becomes barren. Yet this “woe” is not punishment but a signal: the old state cannot endure in the light of a new I AM. If I assume a new state—unshakable, indivisible—I dissolve the outer signs. The exile becomes the return to a present, alive consciousness within me.
