Inner Imprisonment Revelation

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, Luke reveals not a literal jail but a mental room inside you. John the Baptist is the voice of awakened awareness—bold, candid, the wild truth your imagination can call forth. Herod is the ego clinging to control and pleasure; his reproach of John is the inner correction, the I AM nudging you toward integrity. When that correction lands, the ego may resist and imprison the messenger within the fortress of fear and reputation. Yet imprisonment is only a state of consciousness that can be reversed by a new assumption. You do not conquer Herod from without; you return to the I AM, revise the scene, and feel John speak again, unshackled by fear or reputation. The outer event mirrors your inner decision to withhold truth; the remedy is to embody the conviction that the inner John is invincible and already at liberty. In that pivot of mind, the outer world rearranges to match the new consciousness.
