Inner Exile, Inner Rest

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville's ear, this is not a geopolitical command but an invitation to watch the inner weather of the mind. The oppressed virgin is a state of consciousness—innocent in appearance yet bound by the belief in lack. Arise is the decisive act of attention, lifting awareness from a fixed identity and stepping into a new imagined scene. Pass over to Chittim signifies placing the self into another mental locale, another set of conditions carried within. Yet the decree there shall be no rest reveals the habitual pattern: wherever you go in imagination you awaken to the same sense of lack unless the root assumption changes. The liberating truth is that rest is not granted by travel or exile but by I AM, the awareness that already rests in God. By implying a new assumption you are the already rested I AM, and your inner movements align to that truth. When you revise from oppressed to observe the I AM, the old exile dissolves and you discover a silent, constant rest within.
