Unbinding Vanity Cords Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the cry of Isaiah not as punishment coming from abroad, but as a spell of your own making, cast by a mind that forgets its I AM. The cords of vanity are merely thoughts stitched together with images of self-importance. When you suppose yourself bound by them, you draw iniquity as if it were a thing outside you; yet the verse calls you to recognize that sin is a habit of mind, not a decree of fate. To realign, you must imagine a new state right now - awareness as host, not guest - to which those vain cords cannot cling. Relax the effort, drop the name of me attached to the pattern, and feel the truth: the I AM is untouched by the illusion, the observer that sees it, and can revise it with a single assumption. In this stillness, the cart rope dissolves into light, and what remains is a fresh sense of righteousness and justice beginning in consciousness.
