Inner Rest Beyond Dust

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that 'they shall go down to the bars of the pit' does not bind you to a grim fate; it marks a point in your inner drama where a belief has reached its limit. In Neville's language, the pit is a dwelling of the old state of consciousness, the dust a layer of appearances covering your true I AM. Your being is not the victim of circumstance, but the awareness that can revise it. The line 'our rest together' treats rest as a unity of consciousness—you and God, the I AM, never apart. To interpret it, you do not wait for an outer rescue; you enact the rescue by assuming a state of rest that is beyond matter. When you imagine from the I AM that this rest is already yours, the bars of the pit lose their grip and the inner movement toward life—often branded as resurrection—begins in feeling first. Your job is to dwell in the certainty that consciousness creates form, and that this 'dust' is the very ground for a new birth within your awareness.
