Inner Flight in Troubled Times

Neville's Inner Vision

By your inner witness, these lines address not the world only but your own state of consciousness. The woe upon those with child marks the vulnerability of a mind carrying a new idea or purpose; suffering arises when one identifies with outer circumstance rather than with the unchanging I AM. The instruction to pray that your flight not be in winter or on the Sabbath invites you to watch the timing of your inner movements. Winter is the frozen belief that conditions must be right before you move; Sabbath is the illusion of rest that would stop the imagination from acting. In place of fear you are called to imagine a seamless inner flight—awareness shifting position within the same eternal light. When you rest in the truth that you are the I AM, every apparent danger dissolves into possibility, and perseverance flows from the certainty that your inner state determines your world. The judgment implied dissolves as you stop judging your own circumstances and begin judging only your awareness.
