I AM Casts Out: Inner Deliverance

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner field of your life, the two possessed are patterns of thought—fear and resistance—rising from the tombs of past memory. The shore is your turning point of awareness; the I AM, your central consciousness, arrives and the fierce voices cry, 'What have we to do with thee?' This is the ego clinging to its dominion, not a battle against a person. The herd of swine represents outward forms—appearances and projects—that fear their source of life is being dissolved. The demons’ request to enter the swine reveals a mind that would externalize its problems rather than relinquish its hold on false identity. The Master’s permission, and the swine’s plunge into the sea, symbolize the release of those identifications from your inner climate, allowing a higher state of awareness to reorganize your life. When you know you are the I AM, you cast out the old self and your outer world becomes a fresh witness to your awakened consciousness.
