Inner Exile, Hidden Return

Neville's Inner Vision

Here we have the inner map: the outward exile is but a movement of consciousness. The 'remnant' who are carried away represent the parts of you that must be separated from old claims and outcomes to awaken; the 'poor' left behind symbolize those states of lack you still tolerate because you fear a loss of identity in the transition. Yet Providence comes not as punishment but as the I AM perceiving you as whole. The vineyards and fields offered to the poor reveal that abundance is not a reward for staying put, but a provision of your inner soil where new seeds of awareness may take root. When you claim that you are the I AM, you interpret every apparent dispersion of your life as the necessary rearrangement by consciousness that makes room for renewal. The 'captain of the guard' is but the boundary you set in your own mind, guarding you from clinging to the old. In that light, you can choose to inhabit the reality of abundance now, regardless of outward appearances, by knowing that you are already the one who provides for yourself from within.
