Inner Counsel vs External Prophecy

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's view, the external counselors represent the many voices of separation that flood the mind with prediction and fear. The warning that they shall be as stubble consumed by fire is a call to withdraw reliance from outward signs and to turn inward to the I AM—the living imagination that you are. When you assume a state of being already warm and safe in this divine presence, the urge to consult astrologers or prognosticators dissolves; the outer world becomes a mirror of your inner state, not its master. The ‘fire’ is inner clarity, burning away the belief that you depend on others for salvation. By dwelling in the I AM, you revise the scene: you are the warmth, you are the deliverer, and the doom of external authorities falls away as their power to define you vanishes. Your everyday life aligns with this sovereign awareness, and fear loses its grip as you awaken to your true nature as consciousness in action.
