Baldness Of Mind, Return To Self

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the prophet’s bark is not about hair but about identity clinging to a fallen state. Baldness here is the stripping of outward symbols that keep you tied to fear, and polling the delicate children is the surrender of precious attachments you imagined would secure you. Your inward exile is not punishment from without but a misalignment of inner sight; you believe you are separated from your own heart’s promises. Then comes the counsel: enlarge thy baldness as the eagle. Rise above the narrow ground of circumstance and look upon your life from the sky of I AM, where divisions melt and time bends. From that vantage, the 'they' who went into captivity are not other people but beliefs and memories you have allowed to rule you. You can reinterpret captivity as release by choosing a new state of consciousness. The moment you imagine yourself already returned, your inner reality reorganizes the outward scene. This is the essence of judgment and prophecy: to discern the state you inhabit is to rewrite the future. So, in truth, return is an inward homecoming, effected by the simple act of assumption, right now, in your chest and breath.
