Inner Dialogue of Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Satan not as a person but as a tension of thoughts moving through the field of your awareness—the earth of mind. The LORD, your I AM, asks, Whence comest thou? and the reply arises as wandering thoughts that roam through your life—doubt, fear, craving, argument, distraction. This roaming is not an outside invasion but the current of consciousness seeking expression. Yet this movement occurs within the steadfast presence of God, the Providence that watches and guides every impulse. When you identify with the roamings, you identify with the earth; when you shift to the I AM, you become the still, observing awareness that feels the drama but is not carried away by it. The verse invites you to see the inner theatre as a pageant you can revise: acknowledge the thought, then form a new image of the self as whole, peaceful, and secure. By feeling it real that you are the I AM imagining, you turn the so-called adversary into ally, and the sense of conflict dissolves into harmony under Providence.
