Rock as Shelter Within

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, the scene is not about weather but the state of your awareness. The showers signify intrusive thoughts, external conditions, even fear, that press upon you until you believe you must find shelter. The rock is not stone but the unchanging I AM within you—the fixed point of consciousness that remains when you withdraw identification from the flux. To them, shelter is external; to you, shelter is imagined within and made real by the assumption that you already are safe. The act of embracing the rock is an inner decision: you refuse to let the storm define you and you dwell in the feeling of permanence, steadiness, and protection that resides in awareness. When you live from this interior shelter, the weather does not vanish, but its effect is transformed: you are not moved by it because your sense of self is anchored in the rock of consciousness. Practice this shift now by mentally announcing, 'I am the I AM; I stand on a rock that cannot be shaken,' and feel it as real.
