Inner Grace Over Oppression

Neville's Inner Vision

From the vantage point of the I AM, the grinding and the wood are inner states of consciousness under belief in limitation. The ‘young men’ and the ‘children’ symbolize rising energies and innocent powers crushed by fear, scarcity, and the sense that one is at the mercy of forces beyond control. In Neville’s world, such scenes on the page mirror what you permit in your soul through imagined circumstance. If you feel pressed by circumstance as if grinding you to dust, remember: you are not the scene; you are the observer, the I AM who commands the scene. By silently declaring 'I am'—the one power that moves consciousness—you can revise the impression: the grindstone becomes a tool of refinement under your control, the wood a symbol of beliefs you choose to part with, not a weapon over you. Hold to the sense that the inner being is free, protected, and purposeful, and that every challenge serves to awaken a greater expression of you. The outer appears only after this inner shift, because reality follows imagination.
