Inner Exile, Courage, and Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

Between the lines stands a map of the mind. The adversaries that prosper are not distant rulers but the ceaseless thoughts that arise when you forget your I AM. The Lord’s affliction described here is the natural consequence of identifying with limitation rather than with potent awareness. The daughter of Zion symbolizes your inner center—your true beauty, order, and authority. When you believe in separation, the princes become like harts with no pasture, wandering and weakened, going before the pursuer of fear. Yet this is but a sign, not a sentence. You can revise it by returning to the state of I AM, where no external circumstance governs you. In that state, exiles return, beauty is renewed, and leadership is reestablished as quiet certainty rather than pursuit of appearances. The captivity dissolves once you own that all power resides in your inner decision to feel real and to imagine with intention.
