Inner Flesh, Enduring Hope

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, the lines are not about a body dying but about a state of consciousness coming to light. The flesh that seems to waste away is the old assumption that life is external and precarious; when that belief loosens, the unseen structures of self—habits, identifications, and fears—stand revealed. The bones that were not seen symbolize the hidden framework of your mind, the patterns that have supported your sense of limitation. The soul drawing near the grave marks a turning point, a doorway in which the ego yields to the truth of your essential being. You are not being annihilated; you are being shown the door to a new life by the very experience that appears to threaten you. By assuming the end you desire—bodily vitality, security, purpose—you revise the scene from within. The decay is the old pattern unmasked, inviting an inner awakening to a truth that transcends outward appearances: you are the I AM, alive in God, forever renewed. When you dwell in that remembered life, the future you seek begins now in feeling.
