Inner Darkness, Conscious Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

From this point of view, the 'wicked man' is not a distant character but a state of consciousness in which I consent to fear, lack, and separation from the I AM. The days of pain are the repeating thoughts I permit to govern my inner climate; the 'number of years' becomes meaningless when time is measured by awareness rather than clock. The 'dreadful sound' in his ears is the inner verdict that life is against me; prosperity does not heal it, for prosperity without inner harmony only intensifies the dream. He believes he shall return to darkness and awaits the sword because he clings to the belief that his identity is the problem and not the I AM within. He wanders for bread, asking Where is it?—an inner hunger for security that can only be satisfied by a revised sense of reality. The truth Neville teaches is that these scenes are produced by imagination, not fate. I may choose to awaken, affirm that I AM, and experience the day as light already present in me, transforming every outward circumstance by revised consciousness.
