From Exile to Inner Return

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines honor the truth that the self has handed over nourishment to substitutes, symbols of limited belief—Egypt and Assyria. Yet in the Neville mode, the kingdoms of this world are only states of consciousness that appear 'out there.' All hunger is really the I AM’s hunger or lack of it realized. When you say, 'Our fathers have sinned, and we bear their iniquities,' you are naming a memory of a past self—an image inside you that no longer defines you. Assume the state: 'I am nourished by the I AM within' and feel it real. The present I AM can revise that memory by declaring that you are now fed by the one source within, the divine supply that never wanes. The 'fathers' change in your awareness; the guilt dissolves as you claim responsibility for what you now accept as true: you are the source of all bread. What seemed to bind you to exile is simply a held belief awaiting a new impression. By shifting your inner state from dependence to the realization of self-sufficiency in God, the external kingdoms crumble and your return to liberty begins in imagination.
