Inner Deliverance Through Imagination

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the 'devil' is a state of consciousness that says, 'I am speechless, I am bound, I am powerless.' When Jesus acts, he does not wrestle an external demon; he demonstrates that the power to free oneself lies in the inner sight that commands attention. The moment the 'devil' is gone, the tongue speaks, the faculties that were mute awaken—memory, imagination, and will—united under the I AM that you are. The crowd’s wonder reveals a common habit: to seek change outside while the real drama unfolds within. The miracle is not a dramatic removal of a villain but a shift in identification: you are the one who, by the reverent assumption that you are already whole, casts out limitation. In your own mind, you have authority to quiet the noise of fear and let expression flow. The demon is only a habit of belief; your awareness, rightly directed, dissolves it and restores speech to the inner life.
