Casting Out the Unclean Spirit Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Do you notice how the scene speaks not of history but of your own inner drama? The 'unclean spirit' is a state of consciousness—a stubborn belief, a habit of fear—that shouts when you have not yet awakened to your I AM. The tearing and the loud cry are the old order resisting the truth of your being. Yet the moment you, in awareness, decree a new state, the inner governor commands the exit of that belief. The exorcism is not action from without but a shift of attention from the illusion to the Presence. When you persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled—knowing you are already intact and pure—the 'spirit' wanes and departs. The man who is freed is you, the spirit is the limitation you have imagined, and the deliverance is the rediscovery of your I AM, here and now.
