Fire In My Inner Bones

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, 'above' is not a punitive force but the I AM—the level of consciousness you currently inhabit. The 'fire' in the bones is the intensified energy of belief that presses upon your present state, forcing you to confront the quality of your inner climate. The phrase 'it prevaileth against them' suggests this energy dominates the scene when you identify with lack or limitation. 'He hath spread a net for my feet' is the trap of old patterns, the habits of thought that keep you looping backward; 'he hath turned me back' indicates you feel drawn away from your desired ends by those habits. 'Desolate and faint all the day' is the persistent, weary mood that arises when you mistake the outer scene for the entire truth. Neville teaches that you are not at the mercy of conditions; you are the I AM who can revise the state by assumption. By acknowledging that the fire is the energizing movement of consciousness and by choosing the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you dissolve the net and re-create your life from within.
