Inner Fall, Inner Rise

Neville's Inner Vision

Thy men shall fall by the sword is not a literal doom but a symbol of the old self surrendering to a higher state. In Neville's terms, the outer battles reflect inner movements of consciousness. When you dwell as the I AM—awareness untouched by appearances—the sword cuts away worn images that believed themselves to be power. The fall of the mighty in the war reveals that strength here is the steadiness of a new inner posture, not the prowess of armies. The war you fight is the inner tug-of-war between fear and faith; victory comes when you stop trying to conquer the outer scene and shift your assumption to the new state you desire. The image you hold in imagination becomes your reality; the implied death of old forms clears ground for a living presence that already exists in consciousness. So permit the dying to occur in your mind, and awaken to a refreshed sense of power that is not dependent on weapons but on the I AM behind them.
