Inner Conquest of Enemies

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this passage, the 'enemies' are not distant foes but your own wavering states of consciousness: doubt, fear, and old habits that insist you are defeated. Their mouths open to hiss and gnash teeth symbolize those persistent thoughts that announce a supposed end of your wholeness. The line 'this is the day that we looked for' marks the moment you believe the old story is fulfilled, the evidence that you are bound to lack. But in Neville's psychology, these voices arise from a state you have already accepted as real. To release them, you must revise by assuming a new I AM—an unshakable state from which all victory flows. Feel as if you have already overcome; dwell in the conviction that you are the I AM, not the victim of circumstance. When you inhabit the feeling of the wish fulfilled, the outer signs will yield to your inner certainty and the inner landscape shifts from siege to sanctuary.
