Webs That Won't Cloak

Neville's Inner Vision

To Isaiah, the webs are not literal ropes but the mind's fabrications—habits that pretend to cover inner insufficiency. In Neville's language, such persons are states of consciousness that attempt to clothe lack with clever doings, but the 'garment' never arrives because the I AM within remains untouched. The image of iniquitous works and violent hands reveals a mind that believes there is separation between its true being and its outward acts. When you identify yourself with the I AM, you see that what you practice outwardly must spring from a state you already are; if you feel yourself as lack, all your efforts become a web that strangles life rather than clothing it. The cure is to revise the inner state: assume you are already clothed with righteousness—not by punishment but by recognition of your true self. Imagination becomes your loom; you weave from the assurance, 'I am the circumcision of the heart' (metaphorically), and the old coverings dissolve as you inhabit the state of peace, justice, and love. Your acts then cease to be violence but expressions of the I AM you affirm.
