Between the Pillars of Belief

Neville's Inner Vision

Seeing this through Neville’s lens, the lords of the Philistines are not rulers over a distant people but states of consciousness worshiping an outer image. Their chant, 'our god hath delivered Samson,' exposes how belief can credit an idol with power while ignoring the true power within. Samson between the pillars is the inner strength bound by the habit of fear and the need to prove itself by spectacle. The moment of sport marks the ego's test of belief—no real deliverance occurs until you revise the premise. The drama is a signal that imagination is the mechanism by which reality is shaped: you have conjured the infection of lack by worshiping something outside, and you can just as easily reverse it by declaring I AM as the source of deliverance. The deliverer is not a god outside you but the awareness that you are, the I AM. In that awareness, the imagined crash of the pillars becomes the instant of release; your world begins to reflect the certainty that all power, all salvation, lies within.
