Inner Deliverance From Oppression

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the verse not as a historical grievance but as a state of consciousness. The 'servants' are the thoughts, fears, habits and voices that have learned to govern the inner kingdom, and the line 'there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand' is a confession of the momentary belief that no I AM can free us from those rulings. Yet the deliverer is never distant; the I AM within is always present, and it is you. The shift is not hoping for rescue but assuming a new state of being. In quiet imagination, claim sovereignty: see the inner rulers bow to your decree and feel the gravity of freedom settle in your chest. Speak a new sentence about yourself as if it were true: 'I am delivered now; I am free from every limiting state.' Then linger in that feeling until it feels real, as if the scene you imagine already exists. This is revision: it alters your inner weather, and the outer world must follow the changed inner state.
