The Inner Fire of Wickedness

Neville's Inner Vision

In your mind, the lines of Isaiah reveal a state of consciousness. Wickedness is not a distant judgment but an inner fire burning away the old conditions you tolerate in thought. The briars and thorns are the petty, reactive habits you imagine as real; the forest is your wider imagination, where the fire can spread and become visible as smoke in your life. When you acknowledge the I AM as the sole actor, you stop identifying with the old self and allow the new state to take hold. The fire's ascent shows how a single inward condition can sweep through the entire mental landscape, purifying until only the clear air of your true nature remains. The solution is not condemnation but deliberate revision: assume the end you desire, feel it as already real, and let the old images burn away. Your present experience is the smoke, the proof that your inner shift is underway.
