From Lament to Inner Power

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse speaks of a soul who has looked to others for relief and authority, only to find inward collapse mirrored in outward danger. In Neville’s key, the 'lovers' and 'priests' are not people but states of consciousness—attachments, rules, and stories we trust for security. When they fail, the inner city is deserted and life feels empty; the bowels churn, the heart turns within, and rebellion surfaces as a private verdict that God’s way has been abandoned. The apparent catastrophe—the sword outside, the sense that death is at home—signals a deeper truth: you are living as a consciousness divided from the I AM. The remedy is to stop seeking fulfillment in projection and to rest in the awareness that you are the I AM, the one presence that never fails. Take the stance that all ‘betrayal’ is the mind reorganizing itself; that distress is a wind-up of an old identity, now ready to yield to a higher order of consciousness. By assuming the truth of your own divine nature, the old scenes no longer govern you; you revise the script by the feeling that you are always the divine, and the city within is rebuilt in light.
