From Derision to I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

Your outer derision is a signpost of a held inner state. The verse does not tell you to resist others; it reveals that you are currently living as a mind in pain, filled with bitterness and wormwood. In truth, the 'I AM' is always present behind the scenes—the conscious awareness that witnesses both color and collapse. When you claim 'I AM' and dwell there, you are not denying suffering but reassigning its meaning. The 'derision' you fear is simply the voice that tells you you are separate from your good; by returning to the I AM, you tell that voice the truth of your unassailable inner worth. The gravel, ashes, and broken teeth symbolize the heavy thoughts and memories that would crush your peace; they dissolve when you imagine the inner state of abundance and praise—your own voice singing within. Endurance arises as you refuse to identify with the harsh scene and instead inhabit a larger consciousness that simply observes and blesses. The future is not ahead but present as the realized I AM here and now.
