Innocence and Inner Responsibility

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this not as a dictation of external fate, but as a mirror of your own inner state. The question about innocence and punishment is really a prompt to examine your inner weather: what you imagine about yourself and others is the wind that moves the outer scene. In this reading, nothing happens in the world but the manifestation of your I AM, your awareness. The innocence is your unconditioned I AM, untouched by judgment; the sower of iniquity are the habitual thoughts you entertain about others or the world. When you accept that retribution is external, you project it; when you revise your assumption to I am the innocence that remains, you convert the wind into a breeze that clears the air. By the blast of God and the breath of his nostrils, you can interpret as the sudden acceleration of insight within your own consciousness. The verse invites you to shift your posture from blame to reverent inner acknowledgement that your own images shape your life. The moment you do, the apparent judgments dissolve into harmony as if awakening from a dream.
