Inner Kingdom Rising

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the people in the verse as not nations but states of consciousness. When oppression appears by another, and by his neighbour, it is your own inner dialogue, the I AM, your awareness, splitting itself into competing stories. The child-pride against the ancient and the base against the honourable are not external proofs of wicked neighbors; they are the voices within you wrestling for rank in the mind. The ancient is your deepest wisdom, the base a lower impulse; to oppress another is to dramatize the gap you allow between your higher self and your lower impulse. When you dwell in a mood of judgment toward others, you are simply declaring that you are not one, but two. The cure is not in changing others but in dissolving the sense of separation within; let the I AM reconfirm unity, seeing every person as your own inner states reflected back. As you assume the presence of perfect order in your mind, the outer scene will begin to align with that inner harmony. You do not bargain with the world; you become its source by the steady conviction that you are the I AM and all are one.
