Inner Breath and Bitter States

Neville's Inner Vision

Here is the psychological turn: the breath you fear is simply the sense that awareness is cut off from its own fullness. The bitterness is not a punishment from God but a state of consciousness you have accepted as real. In truth, you are the I AM, and the scenes that appear around you are only permutations of imagination. When you think you cannot breathe, you have given power to a belief that life ends at the edge of your skin. Reclaim your breath by reasserting your unity with the Life that fills all. Begin from the inside: declare, I AM the Life that breathes me; bitterness then dissolves as you shift attention to the awareness that enables it. The verse is a pointer to observe, not to suffer: with every sensation of constriction, revise the assumption until your inner climate grows calm and a new movement of vitality returns. Let the image of breath become a sign of your creative power, and you will find that change is not coming from without, but from within your own I AM.
