Gathering by Thought, Falling by Light

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse, the outer crowd of seeming opposition is but a reflection of your inner state. The line 'not by me' declares that the gathering originates from the dream of fear, not the living I AM within you. Your true self—your I AM awareness—does not entertain adversarial power; what you entertain, you invite. Therefore, the moment you refuse to feed the image of threat, the imagined assembly loses its grip and falls away, replaced by the quiet certainty that you stand under divine protection. The phrase 'for thy sake' signals that every attempted attack serves your transformation, nudging you to fix your attention in the womb of your own consciousness. Practice calls you to imagine that the enemies’ advance collapses as you dwell in the reality of your inner light, the I AM that cannot be moved by appearances. Your world bends to your uncompromising awareness.
