The Inner Lions' Dwelling

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the verse, the lions are not beasts to conquer but symbols of power, fierce thoughts, and habit patterns that have roared in your mind until now. The question 'Where is the dwelling...' asks you to locate the source of their fearlessness. If you detach from the outer lions—circumstances, threats, time—and attend to the I AM that you are, you will discover the den of power inside your own consciousness. Providence does not act as a distant tutor; it is your present awareness, the steady breath of I AM, through which every imagined danger dissolves. When you assume a state of fearless sovereignty and feel it real, the old lion and its cub lose their teeth; you are no longer afraid of their roar because you have entered the inner kingdom where there is no fear. The lion's den becomes a metaphor for your mind's recesses that you can choose to inhabit with calm, confident attention, knowing that reality flows from your inner state, not from external events.
