Biblical Context
A daughter, urged by her mother, asks for John the Baptist's head to be presented on a platter.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture the scene as a map of your inner life. The girl and her mother symbolize a habit of seeking a fixed outcome through outer channels rather than through your own I AM. The head on a charger is a stark symbol of a predetermined conclusion you crave, delivered by circumstance or authority. In Neville's psychology, events are movements of consciousness; this scene reveals a state that yields to outer pressure rather than to inner truth. To transform it, you must shift your state of consciousness. Imagine that the demand is fulfilled not by others, but by your own direct, inner decree: I AM the source of all my outcomes. Feel that assumption as real, and let the old appetite to secure results through intermediaries dissolve. When you revise the motive—placing life, justice, and compassion at the center—the outer scene becomes a mere echo in your mind. The energy that once courted fear through parents and rulers now serves your creative will, and you walk in the freedom of your I AM, directing every turn of events from within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, place your hand on your chest, and repeat: I AM the source of all outcomes; I revise every demand into a direct inner decree. Then feel the reality of that state as if the desired change has already occurred.
