One I AM, Many No More

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville’s lens, the man is a symbol of a consciousness populated by many operative selves. When the question comes, 'What is thy name?' the I AM—the witness of awareness—asks for the dominant state. The reply, 'My name is Legion: for we are many,' is not a chorus of separate beings but a revelation of numerous beliefs, habits, fears, and desires sharing a single horizon of attention. Their plea to stay 'in the country' reveals the mind’s attachment to familiar patterns; the unknown beyond the land seems threatening only because the self has not yet assumed full sovereignty over its inner world. Neville would say: these inner voices are not antagonists to be expelled, but signals to be integrated under one sovereign I AM. By affirming 'I AM' as the sole ruler and holding that awareness in place, you revise the entire field of consciousness. Fragmentation yields to unity; healing and restoration arise as you substitute a single, all-encompassing I AM for the many notions that once governed you.
