Inner Reversal of Babylon's Power

Neville's Inner Vision

View these lines as a map of the inner life. The two calamities are not external judgments but the collapse of a mind clinging to outer tricks. The phrase None seeth me marks the old ego's belief in its invisibility to the I AM. In Neville's psychology, sorcery and enchantments are habits of thought—powers you imagine outside yourself. When you awaken to the truth that you are the I AM, the perceiver within, you reverse the cause: power returns to your unity with God and outer events lose their grip. The apparent evil and desolation are wake-up calls that invite you to revise your state rather than resist the world. Sink your attention into the inner throne where the I AM observes all; feel yourself as the undeniable consciousness that none can mistake for someone else. As you inhabit that inner king, you discover that true authority is inward and that the momentary upheavals become the birth pangs of a higher knowing.
