Valley Vision Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text the valley becomes a state of consciousness. The valley of vision is your inner atmosphere where images of tumult rise, and the housetops symbolize the mind’s loud positions—public displays, pride, and noise masquerading as joy. The city is a pattern of thoughts that keeps you stirred, believing life depends on appearances, applause, and upheaval. The line about slain men not slain by the sword reveals that the greatest conflicts are not external battles but inner convictions that have died to your peace. You are not the sword, nor the war; you are the I AM, the awareness that remains constant while appearances come and go. When you observe this, you can revise: step back from the rooftop drama, refuse to identify with the clamor, and imagine the city waking to a tranquil, joyous confidence grounded in who you are now—rather than what the crowd says is true. In that reverie, the burden lifts, the city no longer trembles, and the imagined casualties dissolve into the timeless peace of consciousness.
