Inner Judgment and Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses are not about distant history but portraits of states within your own mind. The Lord’s act of saving the people from Egypt represents the awakening of consciousness that frees you from inner bondage. Yet when you entertain unbelief, you re-create a sense of separation and threaten that freedom, as if you are destroying what you already are. The angels who kept not their first estate symbolize your higher faculties when they drift from their rightful function, bound by fear and desire; their chains in darkness point to the self-imposed limits you accept until the day you decide to re-educate your imagination. Sodom and Gomorrah stand as vivid demonstrations of unchecked craving; the text marks them as examples so you may notice similar scenes playing out in your inner life. The great day is that inner revelation when your I AM, your awareness, judges and reorganizes your world. By recognizing yourself as already saved in consciousness, you dissolve unbelief; by separating from lower appetites, you honor holiness. Imagination is your instrument, and you are its author.
