Inner Vision: Satan's Fall

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, Satan is not a person but a state of consciousness—the stubborn belief in separation, lack, and egoic control. When I behold Satan as lightning fall from heaven, I glimpse the inner law: the 'heaven' is the living I AM, and the fall is the ego’s claim of power dissolving under a sudden flash of insight. The 'beheld' is the inner witness, not a report about a distant foe. The 'lightning' is the instantaneous, undeniable insight that dislodges the sense of being ruled by fear or judgment; in that moment, the kingdom of heaven within is revealed as my present condition, and the dream of limitation dissolves. Thus the supposed spiritual warfare is simply a mental revision: I am no longer the small self; I am the I AM, awake and sovereign. With that realization, the appearance of Satan collapses into light, and what remains is the steady, generous presence of awareness lighting all experience.
