Inner Plague on the Head

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the body as a theater for your inner state. The 'plague' on the head or beard is not an external contagion but a belief you have allowed to take form in your self-image. The priest in this scene is your own higher awareness, the I AM, evaluating appearances and declaring when a condition has gone deeper than surface thought—color like yellow hair signaling fear or rigid habit. When you identify this as a symbol rather than an identity, you disidentify from the condition. Neville perspective: you are not bound by it; you have only believed you are. The remedy is imagination: assume the state you desire as already real, revise the meaning you give to the evidence, and feel it real until it becomes living memory in your muscles, nerves, and skin. So the sign must fade as consciousness shifts. By turning attention from the appearance to the I AM within, you erase the dream of illness and awaken to a purified sense of self, present, intact, and free.
